Youthology: Does it Work?
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 by RockstarMama
Folks, I’m 33: The general age when you start realizing that sizzling the crap out of your skin in the sun for a three-day tan/burn when you were in high school was probably not the best use of your time. Adding to the sun fun, I’m also a mom of toddler twins, so I haven’t slept in about three years. The result? Some days I wake up looking/feeling like I’ve been socked in the face.
Drag your sleepy ass down to your local drugstore and you’ll find an arsenal of miracle-promising, make-you-pretty-again-type lotions, serums, masks and potions. Too tired to get out of bed? I was, the morning I saw the infomercial for “Youthology“; curled up under my puffy comforter, feeling like an old hag, and watching in wide-eyed amazement as a tiny drop of stuff from a cute little white tube transformed chicks’ wrinkles and puffs to smooth and sleek in a matter of moments.
The infomercial says the 90-second, wrinkle-reducing eye serum is an $80 value, but can be mine for only $39! Thirty-nine smackers for me to look 20 again?!
Credit card.
$10 for shipping? Seems like a lot, but the container looks big. So it’s probably ok.
What did you buy NOW?” the husband asked, eyeing the small white box that had finally arrived. “Um, nothin’,” I sang, skipping upstairs, knowing that once he basked in my new and youthful beauty, he would forget about the $50 charge on our bank statement.
The container itself is big. However, open it up and there’s something inside about the size of a chapstick. What the.
Not deterred, I read the instructions like a good girl, washed and dried my soon-to-be-glowing with radiant youth face, popped open the lid of the tiny tube, and prepared to be amazed.
According to the infomercial, in a mere 90 seconds, the area around my eyes would be wrinkle- and puff-free. WOOHOO! I rubbed a tiny amount in the zone of concern as indicated, and waited.
Here’s what they DON’T tell you on TV:
1. The stuff is the consistency of aloe vera. When it dries, some weird whitish crumbly crap will remain bordering the area you rubbed in, even if you spend a long time rubbing (whoops… didn’t sound right!). You can’t just brush it off; it’s like toothpast remnants. If you wet the area, you will deactivate the serum.
2. My undereye area did seem “tighter”. However, when I smiled to test the wrinkle-stopping power, I looked like the Joker. Certain areas were plastered down as if they’d been squirted with high-power super glue; other areas that didn’t previously wrinkle now got all scrunched up and weird.
3. Guess what? Since this stuff gets slobbed on prior to makeup, even if you have decent results from the gel, the “glue power” completely fails once you add concealer, blush, etc. The goop turns your face into a weird texture, which is not condusive to makeup application. The moment I added concealer, I broke the weird glue-like seal and the tightening powers were released, leaving me all kinds of strangely varying smooth and dry patches, and an undereye area that screamed: “Some kind of weird sealant has been applied to me!” My husband would no doubt find this look both attractive and sexy.
4. The tube, as previously mentioned, is like the size of a Burt’s Bees Honey Lip Balm, and this stuff was freaking $50 including shipping. So even if you like it, it’s not going to last long. About halfway through the tube (I was determined to give this stuff a chance!), the pump stopped working and the rest of the product dried up in 24 hours.
5. Money back guarantee, my ass! You will still pay twice for shipping even if you convince them to refund you. By the way, their customer service is a bunch of bitches who will try to shame you into feeling like a stupid freak if you want to return it.
The crappiest part of all:
One month after ordering this little delight, another $49 charge mysteriously appeared on my bank statement. WTF?!? I did not recall wanting or ordering more. Of course, no additional products ever appeared at my door, nor would anyone at the company return my calls to explain the money theivery. Not that I wanted any more of this crappy goop, except maybe to use to pull a prank on someone.

Got something else you’d like me to review? Submit your suggestions here.
Instead of returning it, how about throwing a flaming bag of shit through the window of their corporate headquarters? Also, totally be suspicious of what type of bird semen that stuff is made from. I have two words for you: Hawaii Chair…
you know if you dip your face in a bowl of ice water in the morning.. it will do the same thing..
Wash you face as usual.. then.. dunk your face in ice water..
I had an aunt that swore by it..and she did not age one bit.. Looked the same age the day she died (70+) as she did the first time I remember her..
so,, I do the noxema only.. and the pan of ice water… I look like an old hag.. but I’m cool.
aww that’s terrible.. yeah, i ordered something that was a supposed “free trail” plus shipping.. all you had to do was call and cancel. so i called thinking i was clever and all, they tried to persuade me into not canceling and then finally caved. but a month later they charged $80 to my bank account! i tried to call back and raise a dispute and kept getting hung up on and finally they told me that i never called. there are some crazy companies out there. and you should so do the hawaii chair! i saw it on Ellen and it looks interesting.
You should totally try the Easy Curves device. I just saw an info-mercial for it and I couldn’t stop giggling.
YES! Do easy curves as well. I have been very curious about that. I also can see in the future a hilarious blog entry along with it.
Checked out the report of shamwoow on consumer reports and yours was much better.They really don’t get into it like you do.
Hi, sorry this is off topic! May I ask a few questions? I am also using the same theme as yours! I wanted to have a ’subscribe to me’ in the sidebar portion, how do I that? I thought that would make my readers be updated!
thanks! have a nice day!
Girl!!! I knew before I finished reading that this stuff was going to be a total rip off! Did you know that using Preparation H (a brand new unused tube of course) can relieve puffiness and reduce wrinkles around the eyes? Use carefully around the eyes at night before you go to bed. Costs less than $10 even with the gas you use to go to the Drug Store to buy it! I am so tired of these companies that do these infomercials getting paid millions of $$ because the consumer does not know their products don’t work until AFTER they have spent the money. Sad, but I don’t believe anything they say and I find commercials and especially infomercials completely annoying! The new deal now is after you buy something once, they keep your debit/credit card on file and continue to charge you as if you subscribed to something. Then it’s hell to pay to get your freaking money back. I have started filing Better Business Bureau claims on companies that pull that shit with me. Its sad that I don’t like to order stuff I see on TV anymore because you get tangled in a financial web of crap that’s had to get out of. When you call for your money back, if you even get someone, their customer service will tell you that you had the option at the time of ordering to tell them you didn’t want to continue to receive their product when the truth is, they never freaking tell you on purpose!
I think i’ve seen this somewhere before…but it’s not bad at all
LOL! That’s why I don’t care to try out a lot of these things I see advertised. Besides that, it helps to get enough sleep, stay hydrated, reduce your stress (well, that’s a toughie, but not impossible), and keep a healthy lifestyle. Smiling a lot helps. That’s why we should keep with these humor blogs and share the smiles…
New blog soon? Its been a while.
Hey, thanks for the review. Was going to try it but after reading what you went through I’ve changed my mind. Oh yeah, watch out for those coupon promos (reservation rewards)on sites like drugstore.com. They’ll keep on charging your card without warning you first.
omg – thank you so much, you saved me. i almost f’ing got sucked into this bull!
Thanks, I just found your site and it’s funny and informative. I was thinking about buying the Youthology after watching the infomercial (I never learn, I’ve been duped over a few hundred $$ before for those teeth whitening scams before). I’m so glad you tested the Youthology and told us what a scam it really is.
Where did you go? I had just found your site before all communication ceased. Please come back!
Thanks usually im not affected by this stuff. If i almost thought it worked, they must be making millions. I usually see through everyone of these infomercials but the dam timed camera and front angle lighting almost got me. But it makes sense it just like leaving a sticky face peel under your eyes. Thats all it is with all the crust and odd feeling of the original face peel . Justunder your eyes.. Lets Just accept ourselves and stop playing into this crap.
Out-Numbered: Well, there’s nothing much more funny than a flaming bag of shit, I agree with that.
Queen: Excellent beauty tips, oh wise one. Plus ice is free!
Jess: What a scam!! Boo. What’s the Hawaii Chair? I like the idea of testing something that just involves sitting.
Katie/Anon5: Tell me more about the Easy Curves!
Grandpa: I am to please.
Ax: I use Feedburner–in the options you can get the code to add the email subscribe. Need more help? Email me at kaiton@rockstarmamaonline.com
Reddrida: YOU ROCK!!! PrepH DOES WORK on eyes!!! Who knew butt cream could be so useful in other areas.
Derekp: Something more useful than crappy eye cream would be a really accurate time machine.
Liggy: AGREED!!
Anon: I’m such a slacker! I have a bunch of stuff in the works… a new one soon, I promise!
Shay: GAAA! Freakin’ scams.
cjnycfashionista: Save your money! Elmer’s Glue would probably work just as well.
Annie: That’s what I’m here for, baby! Tell us more about the whitening scam so we can all be saved…
Melissa: Here I am, baby! New stuff incoming this weekend…
Jasmine: The commercial makes it look good. That’s why I bought it! But at home in your own bathroom, yep, just a crusty, sticky, gluey, peely, crunchy, weird slick mess.
So – they continue to debit my checking account for the “automatic shipping” when I’ve called to have them discontinue doing this twice thus far.
I contacted my bank and had my debit card canceled and a new one reissued w/ a new number – however they have once again caused an overdraft to my account.
My bank representative said they will do a fraud investigation and stated that I should contact my local police to file a fraud charge with them. Needless to say I am going down tomorrow morning to do just that.
I have been able to find the contact information for the person who is registered to the youthology.com website and thought I would be kind enough to share it with anyone who experiencing the same issues – that way you can contact the person yourselves:

Your post on this crap is right! At any of your local drug store you can get the same goopy stuff for about half the price. At the moment I don’t recall the name(sorry). But it does have a picture of a woman’s eye on the box. And yes it says it does contain Aloe Vera–ha. But it is mostly like a glue like substance that needs to be aired dried in order to “activate”—-DRY is the key word here. When it is dry, it does flake off like you said-and you will half eye crumbs and when you do smile, it’s like someone place a small dab of Elmer’s glue under your eye and it does look WEIRD. Applying a moisturizer or makeup does weaken the bond and most times does not even take and even if you apply a moisturizer or makeup on and then this goop IT DOES NOT TAKE. So, they are essentially selling everyone the same stuff you can get at your drug store for about $8..00 to $12.00. And you can take it back if you don’t like the results. When I saw the informercial, I thought HEY! finally a product that just may work! Then, I realized after seeing these women’s hair blow slightly, I realize they have a fan on their faces to dry this goopy stuff……and the local drug store product came to mind. If you must Aveno has an eye serum goop gel that is similar to both products…but I think the key if there is one you have to apply very little under the recommended application suggestion in order to get a acceptable result that doesn’t crumble into eye crust.
Regarding the “Butt Stuff” (Prep H).
That USED to work.
It really was the greatest available back then. Unfortunately they reformulated the product and removed the beneficial (? at least “working”..) ingredient a few years back. This information came from the producer.
Wish I remembered where I have this info,but unfortunately it is a couple of computers ago.
I’d try not to “age” myself but I think it was late 90-ties when the stuff changed. I did try the version released in Europe but it was no different..
But of course there’s the option of writing them (again) and get the info for those who choose not to trust my research,but if you do – will you please try to get the name of that ingredient,as they did not want to disclose at the time?
(I didn’t add any pressure…)
WEll – At least I didn’t throw my $$ after these guys (Youtology) as I’ve been silly enough to do with a IQDerma (?) product which ended up costing a couple of hundred before I got them off…
Good job – And Thanks!
I had a feeling it might leave a strange seran wrap texture. “Sudden change under eye syrem” is the same thing. It lifts & tightens and you look great… as long as you make no facial expression. However, sudden change is a mere $15-$20 at most drugstores.
Thank you so much for sharing. I was so tempted!
I saw this informercial about two weeks ago at around 3:00a.m. (Hey, I couldn’t sleep) I didn’t order it, but the idea was percolating in the back of my mind. I’ve got bags under my eyes and have since I was a teenager (they haven’t improved lo these many years), I decided that maybe I should try this Youthology stuff out even though it has the dorkiest name in the universe. Started looking and can’t find the damn infomercial anymore. WTF! I was beginning to think they’d been sued and had to pull their ad. Maybe that’s the case as your review of the stuff proves that its a total rip off. Thanks!
oh mi gosh girl you are too funny and im so glad you have this blog because right after i saw that informercial i came on here to do research just to make sure its not a scam so you really saved me time and money.and just the other day i got my risk free trial of hydrolyze (another eye cream thats suppose to remove bags and dark undereye circles)but if theyre gonna be charching my debit card ima send it right back to them,take all my money out the bank and get a new card.i cant afford to be a victim.lol.so thatnks for the info.
DO NOT BUY YOUTHOLOGY! First & foremeost, the product does not work. Second of all, the 30 day guarantee is a scam in my opinion. To return the product, I called 3 days in a row and got a busy signal. The fourth day, I got through but was put on hold for over 1 hour 12 minutes! I sent 2 emails. The second one finally got a reply 12 days later! You have to get a return authorization from them to return the producet-the scam is, you cant get a hold of them to get it! Once I fianlly got the returned email 12 days after I sent my email, my return authorization was only good for 7 days! Ridiculous. They know their product sucks, otherwise it wouldnt be so difficult to return the product. Beware: when you order they automatically sign you up for auto ship every 30 days! To cancel this, you yet again have to get a hold of customer no service! DO NOT BOTHER BUYING IT! It doesnt work & you will NEVER get a hold of thenm to get your money back!
omg! just saw the youthology infomercial this morning, and proceeded to check it out. got sucked into purchasing, and felt confident that they will return you money…. ya right** after reading your blog and your experience, NO WAY am I going to risk it. Practically every person got the run arounds and ripped off after being sucked in!!! Hey I just might try ph-balance & ice. As crazy as that sounds, I’ve heard of this method before and also learned models do those home remedies and it works!!! I like the under $10 deals hahahahaha MMP (thumbs up)
Youthology. I was on the phone for 30 minutes, on hold, listening to their crap about Youthology the entire time–waiting to get a “return authorization number.” I do not believe this stuff works any better than the products I represent with the Jafra skincare line. They’re MUCH better!
And here’s the web site.
http://www.myjafra.com/WEBCGIPR/JMJ0010R.PGM?CTA_H=006163124
How to Cancel and get your money Back. File a complaint with the beter business bureau. But First call the customer service number, use a cell phone so you can prove it, however you will use up all your minutes, as they will never answer. Also send emails, they won’t respond, but you will need proof to dispute with your credit card. After you contact the BBB, and file a complaint, the BBB will respond with the info to return the product. Don’t expect anything without their help
About the only infomercials I have been pleased with the results would be the Tobi STeamer, and proactive. I have come to the conclusion that there is a reason these other products are not sold in stores.
They don’t work…
Wish I had saw your site before I bought… thanks for helping others not make the same mistake
Just saw the Youthology commercial this morning. Was almost ready to go to their site and order when I thought I’d better do a reviews search, which led me to you! Im sorry for your troubles with this product but so happy you decided to post something online to help other groovy chicks like us to avoid these scams. It sounds like this stuff is the same thing as “Sudden Effect” which IS egg whites. Your eyes look great but only from far away and if you go to put makeup on them-forget it! I guess there is no cure for bags or wrinkles other than surgery or botox and Im too cheap to do either. Good thing I have a man who loves me anyway! Thanks again for saying me money!!! You are one cool bird!
Oops i meant SAVING me money!
Thanks again.
I had the same exact thing happen. After I put foundation/concealer on (I need it!) it deactivated the serum. Tube stopped working. Got the same extra charge on my credit card even though I called and cancelled future shipments. I am so done with infomercials and internet deals that sound too good to be true. Should have learned my lesson from the Acai Berry cleanse…..that one cost me over $200!
Thank you so much for this info. I went on line to get some rearch on it after I saw an infomercial yesterday; and was actually going to purchase. I’m sooo glad this website popped up instead. It saved me the money and aggravation.
Sure glad I checked out this
“Youthology” crap w/you before I purchased it….I DO know better but I still beleive in Santa Claus too.
Oh, that sandpaper crap has been around forever! My grandmother used to use it. She passed in 1964! At least, at that time, they called it what it really is, EMERY PAPER! It didn’t work then either unless your unwanted hair was really peach fuzz. Who the hell thought up using it for underarms?….better off w/ a belt sander.
BTW… I’m nowa Rockstar fan.
Thanx
So glad I found this site before I clicked the link for the actual site….your reviews are hilarious, keep ‘em comin…are there any lid lift creams or eye creams that actually work to some degree? Have you reviewed any Avon skin products?
this is new to me so hope i am leaving a reply to Dawn. I use a product called Joey Line away, by Joey new york. Get it really cheap on ebay. U cant use alot cause it does turn white, but i am 61 and really relieves the bags under my eyes. its costs $38 for an ounce, i get it on e bay with persistence for about $18
Thanks for saving me $50! Now soaking in a pan of ice-cld water…
Ha! I have all the shopping channels blocked on my tv via surfing, but I sometimes look at them for laugh. I saw this commercial last night and noticed a weird yellowish hue to the skin after the “tightening”. I knew it had to be a scam. The only thing that really works is tretinion. Love your website!
Thanks so much for saving me from alot of grief! Saw the infomercial this moring and when I googled it, your scam alert was my first search. I don’t know why I even thought that it was worth while, I have tried alot of this junk over the years and have not really been tempted recently until this Youthology sham.
Thank you again.
Brigid
I am sooooo glad I saw your website. I’m a single mother on a fixed income and was going to try to put money back to buy “Youthology”. I have been using “GeneShere” for past 20 days with no results. The only products I still use from infomercials is “ProActiv” and “Serious Skin Care”. Also, “Bare Minerals”. They work great! “Serious Skin Care” has a product called “InstaTox”. It does feel instantly tight around the eyes. Applying concealer softens it a bit, but still holds. Makes me look alot younger! I ordered a whole kit from them and was pleased with at least 90% of the products. Anyway, thank-you for saving me time, grief and money!!
That was an awesome review! I’m sorry you had to experience that (lmao), but I’m so glad you did! It’s been a long time since I’ve been that tempted by an infomercial…but Youthology almost got me….thanks again for the save!
Sounds like most of you need a good time in bed so you will stop complaining,and i’m being serious.Your husbands (or lovers) semen will work wonders on your face, I read about it somewhere and we tried it out and you DON’T have to do it all the time but twice a week will work. It’s cheap and effective and you have an endless supply. Sounds gross I know to some of you but what have you got to loose. email me and I will tell you what and how I apply it.NO JOKE taralong85@gmail.com
Thanks, I almost went for it, You saved me!!!!
I was up late one night and ordered it off an infomercial…wish I would have had to check this page out ~ it totally does NOT work…I even tried it on my mom! I pay an additional $2 to send it back to get my lousy $40 return….and nope, S&H is non-refundable!!!!!! BOOOOOOO
hey thanks for the info on youthology was just about to order. saved alot of hassel
You just saved my ass girl! Thank you so much1
Thank you for this post. I have my credit card sitting right next to me ready to order youthology. Thank god I checked out your web site first. I will just go ahead and put the credit card back in my purse. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the Youthology info! Can you raise money to do this BIG one? It’s Robert Allen’s Mulitple Streams of Income/ Now Money Down – Investment Program. I just went to a 3 day free educational seminar. I recieved 90% excellent entertainment from an obvious Real Estate expert w/ 10 % solid tips…too complicated to execute by myself…and a 25k “complete tuition fee w/ personal mentor. They would take me w/ a 1500.00 deposit…Their students are making huge money in early months, they say.
My 2 cents worth on the only “face cream” that has ever really worked is Retin-A Micro. You’ll need a perscription. It’s not just for acne. Use just dab at night and I swear your face will be much smoother than before. Too bad it doesn’t come in a cute little bottle with a bunch of literature telling me how beautiful I’m amount to be. (Because, I too, love that stuff!)
OMG, I live in Hawai’i and it would’ve cost $20 to ship here. I changed my mind bcuz of that. Thank you for the heads up!
I love love love this site. I laughed till my hemroids bled. I am a 61 year old semi conservative that thinks this is the best site going. Want some help? I might even offer to buy a product or two for you to test. but the funniest is the sham wow!!. Hysterical!!
I’m SUCH a sucker – almost bit at this one last week, but put it off as too good to be true. Thank God your helpful little blog came up on the first Google page…
Thank you! Helpful AND fun to read.
Wow! I had given all my information except the credit card. Something told me to see if I could check it out quickly on the computer. Thank goodness it came up right away on google and I told them I had changed my mind! Whew! When are we going to drop the vanity and accept ourselves as aging, experienced, distinguished old ladies!
Thanks!
I am so happy to read this. I watched that this morning and was ready to buy but thought I would check the web first!! I am now subscribed to your blog.
thank you so much for your review. I’ve been fooled many times by those infomecials but time and time again there comes a time where certain products are too tempting to pass on.
youthology was that product I was dying to try out. But thanks to you, I saved 50 bucks. Thank you again for your honesty.
I will surely spread the words. ^^
Thank You for posting this information, it’s great to see honest, unpaid responses on products that are worthless!!!!!
Thank You soooo much!!! I saw tthe Youthology infomercial a few years ago and wrote down the number. Thank God, I misplaced it!
Today, I saw the infomercial once again and didn’t have time to watch the whole thing in order to get the phone number, so I looked it up on the web and your site came up first.
I am so glad that you are telling people your story. You have saved me a whole lot of money that I don’t really have to spend on vanity right now. But, we all need to feel better about the way we look.
I have read all the comments and tryed a few things:
Pre-H….Thanks Birdbrain for letting us know that the formula was changed. An actress/model friend of mine had recomended Prep H, I tryed it (butt) it didn’t work for me. The change in the formula must be the reason.
Tara says try Semen…..Hummm a better use of a man! (LOL)
I haven’t tryed the ice water, but surely WILL!
The Elmer’s Glue comment…..I ran into the bathroom and tryed it….I did work, but who the hell knows what the side effects are….I guess I will find out if my face falls off. (LMAO)
The thing that I have been using that is GOOD for the skin is plan ol vitamin E oil. It takes some time to see results but it has helped. Most of my wrinkles are from dry skin so, this has been good for me. The eyes can get a little blurry if the oil gets in them, but I checked with my Opthomologist and he said that the blurr is temperary and the oil is not harmful to the eyes.
I am still trying to make up my own creams, maybe I’ll be on an infomercal someday and the complaints will be about my products. (LOL)
Good Luck to all!
P
Saved my 51 yr ass too! Thanks! What’s up w/the 3am infomercials targeting us sleep-deprived women anyway? They know we are weak at this time…& customer ’service’?! It does NOT exist anywhere. the aveeno gel works but also dries like glue. The best product I’ve found is from Burt,s bees (the only eye cream they make) also, I have been using bio-oil to remove my eye make-up (I have very sensitive skin & eyes) I have wrinkles, but not under/next to my eyes (yet…). Let me know when you find any face products (non prescription) that work!
My boyfriend innocently bought this for me and didnt do the research. Can we just terminate his credit card to avoid any further charges?
Good Morning… I want to thank everyone with there info: on all these scam’s what a bummer that we all some how believe these Big corp: that is why they are around .because we all believe in them.. Again thank you and keep up the good Work…JK…

Funniest review I’ve read in a while.
I have to say “Whew” too. I got excited by the infomercial too. I was just about to put a bid on it through eBay, when I thought I’d check out reviews. I am SO glad I did. Your review style is entertaining and informative. Thanks for saving me – now I just have to make sure my mother doesn’t see the infomercial and get hooked…..as she has on so many other things.
Sooo glad I found this forum before purchasing this product. I wish more women would research products prior to buying them. With the use of the internet forums like these are important to making wise decisions. You just saved me $50 and it sounds like a lot of problems in the long run.
I actually like Youthology. It works for me. You are correct in that after halfway the pump breaks…sometimes it breaks prior to! You do have to apply a little in order to not have the white residue. I use a wet q-tip to loosen pinched areas.. I like it!
OMG!!! I am so glad I googled this YOUTHOLOGY product before I picked up the phone to order!!! Thanks for the SAVE!!! I am put your site in my favs….!!!!
Aloha from Las Vegas
Thanks for the postings. I almost bought Youthology. I had bought an over the counter product once that showed immediate results but it dries into a powdery finish. I wondered about this product and it seems it does too. I’ve also ordered from infommercials before and getting credit or having cards charged again is a real and true thing. This company should be penalized big time!
My sister started using this product last week and by the weekend, had a SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION!!! Her face, eyes & lips are swollen and red, and she has been to the emergency room twice. Her family doctor finally prescribed steroids 48 hrs ago and we are praying that will reduce the swelling and pain. She hasn’t been eating or sleeping very well. I’m so concerned! She is a beautiful woman by everyone’s description but she’ll just be happy to have some normal skin back!
Thanks so much for posting this great review of this product. I saw the infomercial too and thought, “Wow!”. I went on-line to buy it today but then saw your review and, well, thanks for saving me $50.00!!!!
Rough! I’ve been loving Origins White Tea Skin Guardian for years…but then recently heard they are owned by Estee Lauder, who DOES do animal testing. IDK what I’m going to do! ;/
Wow, THANK YOU for not causing my blood pressure to rise. Thank God I research this product.
Your review of this stuff was sooo funny!!!! I had just watched the commercial and something about the women that appeared in it said “I did this for the cash” to me. So, I decided to check the good old Net to see if there were any reviews. I found your’s first. Thanks for the huge laugh. I wasn’t going to buy the stuff. I was just curious to see if my impression was correct. Also, anyone that pays that much money (the ladies in the commercial do not look like they can afford it–another clue) for skin care needs to visit a soup kitchen and spoon out soup to homeless old men that stink and can no longer smell themselves. I use Grenier face lift stuff and it works quite well on my sags.
Okay, that is it. Thanks so much!
All I have to say is, thank you girl! I almost ordered it, thank goodness I did a little research.
I am sooooo glad you did the research for us ALL!
You are one funny gal!
Thanks so much for the post!
Thank you so much for information on the horrid product. Sometimes I feel like I absolutely need something I see on tv because it’s helpful, but I have yet to actually purchase anything, thanks to revealing articles like yours.
Keep up the good work!
I just saw the infomercial and was very tempted to order but remembered-If it’s too good to be true than its not true…Glad I held back and used my common sense.
Always do you research before buying anything.
I woke up 3 times and the Youthology Infomercial was on. I thought, I should order this. I keep waking up in time to see it. The models on TV look like normal everyday women. The only reason I did not order it when the infomercial was on was because I did not want to wake my husband getting out of bed. I thought, I will order it later today. Luckily, I saw your website and you saved me a lot of trouble. How can they still be in business? Haven’t they been reported to the BBB enough to get their license revolked. Thank you so much for your website.
boy am i glad i read all of your responses. i,too, was planning on buying this “miracle” but what stopped me (other than my guardian angel) was that none of the women in the commercial seemed to be smiling after their 90 second return to youth. and the idea of the “glued” eyes seems read to me as well. thanks for your honest opinions
Thanks so much for the warnings! I will wear my wrinkles proudly, knowing I am not a sucker!
I am 36 and I have terrible bags under my eyes and have for several years now. I also think I inherited them from my Dad who had baggage for as long as I can remember. I, too saw the infomercial, but luckily decided against spending the money on it. After looking in the mirror today, I thought again about giving Youthology a try. Thank you for talking me out of it! I think I’ll put 2 spoons in fridge and try that in the morning since I’ve tried about everything else on the market.
Oh, how I wish I’d found this site before ordering Youthology. I’m just now trying to get them to stop billing me for a product that doesn’t work — good luck to that! First I was told that it was too late, my order had already been shipped and that I had neglected to read the fine print at my initial order. In effect, you cannot sign up for a one-month trial and then cancel, so from the moment you push send, you’re in the hole for at least $160. They also promised me proof of cancellation by e-mail, but nothing so far.
Are they in Raleigh, NC? If so, I’ll contact the Better Business Bureau. They don’t publish their location.
