I bought the Prevage trial kit with four small pump bottles. I really, really, REALLY wanted this product to work. After reading about the rash outbreaks experienced by many, I tried this product using a VERY small amount applied only to my deepest facial creases. It was all fine for about 2 weeks (long after the period suggested when doing a patch test). After that time, I developed a horrible rash on my foot. It spread to my lower leg, then I got patches of it on my thigh. The next rashy area developed on my hands, then I had some patches on my face. The itching is absolutely intense, with small blisters and “weeping”. Cortisone ointment helped me stop the itch long enough so I wouldn’t scratch in my sleep. Having it on the foot is agony because the rubbing created by walking causes the rash to itch madly and simultaneously supply a simulated scratching. This creates a viscious cycle of itching, scratching, further irritation and outbreak, etc. I am surprised this product managed to find its way on the market when there are so many people adversely affected by it. It is a highly-priced form of torture. You may be one of the lucky people not experiencing a reaction, but you may also be one of those whose reaction is delayed. Are you willing to take the risk? I have to say it’s not worth it.

I agree with a lot of the other reviewers. I had an absolutely horrifying experience with Prevage, which came as a sample in a sephora package. It took 2 courses of prednisone – very strong – to get it under control and although my face was the worst, it inflamed and irritated beyond words my entire body. It was absolutely everywhere and so unbelievably itchy and painful. I would say I have normal skin, too, not overly sensitive and had never had an allergic reaction before. I am very glad I did not purchase the product, which apparently has warnings but the sample does not so beware if you get one. I only gave it a star because Amazon forced me too to submit this review. It’s really more like negative 1,000,000 stars. . .

Well, at first it “seemed” to improve the look and appearance of the skin on my arms, which received a lot of sun damage as a kid and appeared significantly older than my 45 years (mostly age spots and fine dry-skin wrinkles). I wouldn’t say that the improvement was dramatic – just a vague lightening of the age spots and mild improvement in wrinkling over the first half of the bottle – but at over $100. 00 I was expecting better results and it didn’t help that the stuff has a rather offensive smell (though that doesn’t linger for a long time), so I opted to skip the next bottle for more cost-effective treatments. . .

This product causes a rash on my face when used every other day. I’ve had to stop using it all together until the rash goes away. I’ll see if my skin tolerates its use on a twice weekly basis.

I, too, had a terrible allergic reaction to Prevage. This product couldn’t have made my skin look — and feel — worse if it had been made with poison ivy! I broke out in a red, itchy blistering rash all over my face and neck. My eyes were swollen, my face was puffy and itchy! I do not have very sensitive skin and have never reacted to anything the way I have this product. I recommend testing it on a small area for several nights, and wash your hands thoroughly after you apply. I would give it zero stars if I could. A very expensive disaster!
