Product Review: Freeze 24-7 Fix It Kit
If you have fine lines or wrinkles, but don’t want to go through with Botox or hyaluronic-based fillers like Restylane, you may want to consider Freeze 24-7’s new Fix It Kit ($150.00, Amazon.com). The kit features deluxe sizes of: Freeze 24/7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream, EyeCicles Anti-Aging Eye Serum, IceCream Anti-Aging Moisturizer, and PlumpLips Lip Plumper. Although the company claims that the creams ”diminish the appearance of 50-90% of fine lines and wrinkles instantly,” the actual facial “freezing” varies from customer to customer, although there is at least some anti-wrinkle or “freezing” effect for most customers.
What’s the secret behind Freeze 24-7’s new Fix It Kit? GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, may temporarily inhibit nerves and reduce the appearance of wrinkles when applied topically, but this effect varies from woman to woman, and is not usually anywhere comparable to Botox or other professionally-administered wrinkle reducers. It is also worthy of note that Freeze 24/7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream (with GABA) is said to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in as few as ten minutes after application, but its effects will not last a full day.
The other ingredients in Freeze 24-7’s new Fix It Kit include soothing aloe vera, somewhat effective line-filling cyclopentasiloxane, antioxidant powerhouse green tea, and pore-refining (and hydrating) niacin. Overall, the creams are hydrating, soothing, and somewhat effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The bottom line is, Freeze 24-7’s new Fix It Kit won’t replace Botox or wrinkle fillers, but it certainly will make you look better if applied an hour or two before a big event. :-) (After all, Freeze 24-7 reports that Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Katie Holmes, Neil Patrick Harris, Becki Newton, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Debra Messing, Edie Falco, Jenna Fischer, Kathy Griffin, Lorraine Bracco, amongst many others, are all fans!)
