Smoother complexion

I received a quick delivery of my Firm and Restore Formula and began using it the next day. I found the formula smooth to the touch and massages into my skin really well. After a few days, I’ve noticed a glow in my complexion and my skin is smoother. I am looking forward to continued improvement and reduction in my wrinkles. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

For me the jury's still out.

For me the jury's still out.
This cream is very nice to apply and seems to absorb quickly.
I think it's jolly expensive at £42 per ( fairly small ) pot unless you want to fling caution to the wind and buy 6 at £32 each
I m 71 so perhaps a miracle help for wrinkles is hoping too much, which of course it is.
Will I buy again?
Probably not
I m definitely not going to fork out £192 for a six months supply - if Chelsea labs can sell a pot for £32 if you buy 6, then why can't they sell one pot for £32?
I look forward to an explanation
Smacks slightly of a scam - particularly looking at the website and the rather garish ads
The video is ridiculously long with a rather cloying lady prattling for ages.
Again, smacks of a scam. An American one as the dollar sign features prominently.
Maybe part of the cost is shipping ......hmmmm

Dear Louise,


Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We truly appreciate you being open and honest about your experience.

We’re glad to hear you found the cream pleasant to apply and quick to absorb. We also completely understand your perspective on pricing and expectations—especially when it comes to skincare and mature skin. While many customers do see improvements over time, we’re always clear that results can vary and that there is no “miracle” solution.

Regarding pricing, our multi-bottle offers are discounted to help customers who choose to commit to longer-term use, as skincare benefits are typically seen with consistent application over several months. Single units are priced higher due to production, packaging, marketing, and fulfilment costs per unit, rather than shipping alone. That said, we understand how this can feel frustrating, and we’re grateful you raised it.

We’re very sorry that our website, advertising style, and video content did not resonate with you. Your comments are taken seriously and will be shared with our team, as feedback like this helps us improve how we communicate.

If you’d like to discuss your concerns further, or if you feel the product isn’t right for you, we would genuinely welcome you to contact our customer service team directly. They’re always happy to help and ensure customers feel supported and treated fairly.

Thank you again for your feedback—it’s appreciated more than you may realise.

Just love my Firm and Restore Formula


I have only been using this fabulous cream for a few days and I can see a small difference so far. This cream is so soft on my skin and my foundation goes on much better with this product compared to other more expensive lotions I have used.
Have recommended Firm and Restore Formula to my friends and family.

Just Trust the process & you will see results!

My mum bought me my first Chelsea Lab item - The Firm & Restore Formula. I used it religiously every day and noticed a real difference in the texture of my skin especially my crepey neck. It glides on the skin like a dream & is now a permanent step in my skincare regime 😊

Face firming cream

I’ve been using the firming cream for a few years now and it is a lovely product. No one has stopped me and said I look younger because I don’t. I’m 75 and have smoked 60 of those years. My complexion is a mess but I can say with honesty that using this product makes me feel so much better about myself and I can smile confidently knowing I am doing my best to look good.

so i’ve fell for this scam as i try to search for something to turn the clock back!

i brought 3 tubes, i’ve been using this product for 2 weeks so still early days, but nothing, it’s not made me look more youthful, the cream does smell nice, i can smell a slight lemon smell to it, it does go on nicely a little goes a long way!

i would attach photos of proof of purchase but nowhere can i find how to attach them??

update…….

well ive religiously used this cream daily over the past 5 weeks, and at no point have i noticed the clock being turned back!

i will however say that one bottle lasts me a whole month. my skin does feel soft but i still look my age lol

i decided to try a thermalift treatment at my local beauticians so hopefully that wil help as its ment to help with collagen, im taking collagen supplements too.

i think the only thing that will work is a facelift, i think ive left it a little too late for creams and potions!!

Doesn't work

This product, video, testimonies cannot be true.
I have been using this religiously for 6 months and not one fine line or wrinkle has improved. What a waste of money, I bought 1 years supply believing this "miracle cream".
All it is, is a glorified moisturiser and an expensive one at that.

Very poor/slow customer service

The order arrived very promptly, but having applied it as directed I haven't noticed any of the promised results. Chelsea Laboratories send out a generic acknowledgement for contact immediately but are very slow to respond to my request of instructions for returns and full refund as promised in the 180day guarantee. I have sent photographs as proof of no improvement in getting rid of/reducing wrinkles and jowels. Not impressed.
Since writing the first part of this review I have heard from customer service and after repeated attempts to get me to revise my decision of asking for a refund, they acquiesced. Got there in the end.
