Quick reference for LiveGood Instant Youth. The full review covers the complete ingredient list and the details in depth.
How do I apply it? #
LiveGood’s directions: start with a clean, dry face (non-oily cleanser, no eye cream). Pump a tiny amount onto your hand and gently pat it under the eyes, along crow’s feet and between the brows. Stay still with a neutral expression for 3 to 5 minutes while it dries, then dab away any white residue with a damp cotton swab.
How long does the effect last? #
The tightening is a cosmetic film, so it lasts hours, not days, and washes off with your face. If it cracks, LiveGood suggests dabbing with a little water and letting it dry again. Using too much is the most common reason for residue or cracking.
What’s in it? #
Pullulan and silicate minerals form the tightening film. It also contains hesperidin methyl chalcone, two peptides (dipeptide-2 and palmitoyl tripeptide-7), horse chestnut, milk thistle and green tea extracts, panthenol and hydrolyzed wheat protein. LiveGood does not publish percentages. It carries vegan and cruelty-free badges.
Can I wear makeup over it? #
Yes, once it has fully set. Pat makeup on gently rather than rubbing, which can disturb the film. Apply Instant Youth to clean, dry skin, not over a moisturizer such as VitaGlow.
What does it cost? #
Members pay $14.20 a bottle on Subscribe and Save or $14.95 one time; retail is $39.95. LiveGood’s product page does not list the bottle size, and each use takes only a tiny amount.
Who should patch test or check with a doctor first? #
Patch test on your inner arm for 24 to 48 hours first. Skip it if you have a wheat allergy, since it contains hydrolyzed wheat protein. Keep it out of the eyes, and see a doctor about under-eye swelling that is new, one-sided or painful rather than covering it.
How long until I notice anything? #
The visible tightening shows once it sets, in about 3 to 5 minutes. Any peptide benefit is modest and gradual. Results vary.
What if it doesn’t work for me? #
