I had 2 questions regarding Relax-A-Line:
1. I was wondering if anyone uses Relax-A-Line more than once a day? (I usually put it on in the morning, should I be using it at night also?)
2. Does anyone put Relax-A-Line on the "undereye" area? (I only use it on my forehead). |

I use it morning and night, focusing on crows feet and forehead. I tried directly under my eyes one day and had to call my sister in law 5 minutes after she dropped me off to ask her why in the world she didn't say anything.
I had NO IDEA I was "molting." Be careful, use a light hand..........
We're still laughing three weeks later.... |

he he he! Molting, I know what you mean. When I first starting using it I really slathered it on, only later to see that it was flaking off my skin. A little goes a long way. |

Hi
I had a bad start with Relaxaline, it just didn't seem to do much for me apart from giving me extra dehydration lines around the eyes, but I've got some tricks now and it's making a very nice difference.
I was only using once a day in the morning because of the drying effect, but I'm doing it twice now - it definitely needs two applications for me.
I rinse my face with warm water, pat dry and immediately (whilst the pores are still open) apply it and I rub and rub and rub and rub (forehead and whole eye area and sides of my nose to attack the frown - it all connects, doesn't it). I think I must be very thick skinned and/or the facial exercises have made my muscles more resistant, because just patting it and letting it absorb did nothing for me.
After it's dry and absorbed I wait for 5 mins I put on strivectin (very moisturising) and rub in very well then wait a bit then dab and pat on Camellia oil. After maybe 20 mins to half an hour these areas really suck in the oil and my undereye is well plumped. I'm happy.
So if it's not working for you - try again, more often, really work it in and apply some carrier oil over it.

I don't use it under my eyes, but do use it for crow's feet, forehead and neck.
It was very drying for me also until I started using a bit of a heavy moisturizer on top of it.
I think it's recommended that it be used day and night for at least 30 days. I admit I haven't used it at night though. |

I used to use twice each day (as directed for first 30 days) but now after using for almost a year, I can go about 3 days without using it. It has worked very well on my crow's feet, less well on my forehead lines. I think those muscles are stronger. I do apply moisturizer on top of it since the acetyl hexapeptide is a bit drying. I do use very sparingly (one bottle can last months) and do massage in well. |

I have been using Relax-A-Line for quite a few months and never knew it was supposed to be used day and night. I figured when I am sleeping, how much smiling and frowning is going on? he he he. I will start putting it on at night too. Thanks All! |
