Not overly impressed
Rating:2 out of 5 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…

Prevage Smells funny!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought Prevage MD from my dermatologist for $135.00 and as soon as I put it in my face I noticed a funny smell, it also gave me a rash after just 2 days. I bought Visage MD with 1.5% Idebenone and I love it, it has no smell and it has repaired my sun damaged skin. Buy Visage MD instead of Prevage, you will be a lot happier.

Rashes everywhere, definitely not worth the risk
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
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.

Allergic Reaction
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Hi, I bought this product with high hopes afer reading some great reviews. I used it for about a month and did not really notice any improvement in my skin (but sometimes it is hard to tell when you look at yourself everyday). I didn’t recieve any compliments about how great my skin looked during this time, but I thought, hey, just give it time….. than after about a month, my face swelled up….bad. I thought that if I continued using it, that the reaction would go away and I would see some results, so I continued using it for over a week and my face looked BAD. It was swollen and looked like I was a having a serious allergic reaction. It was bumpy and red and itchy and I looked like I was recuperating from a bad sunburn or chemical peel. I had to stop using it, I was in so much pain. I tried it again after a couple weeks and instantly my face was swollen and red again for 3 days. Sigh…. I was really hoping this would work. Back to the drawing board……

DO NOT USE THIS UNTIL YOU TEST THIS PRODUCT ON A VERY SMALL AREA
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I used this product on my face after being recommended to use it by a dermatologist. I used a pea sized portion and immediately my face turned beet red. Five days later still have a red rash on my cheeks and down the left side of my face. I have been to a clnic to receive a shot(as it was a Friday night) and get a Rx for a dose pak. I now have to use cortisone cream take an allergy pill(a.m. and p.m.), dose pak, cold compresses to my face went back to the dermatologist on Monday. This might be a wonderful product but please whatever you do test it on tiny area for a few days before using on your whole face.

Better than Retin-A
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am 40 but look 25 due to years of using Retin-A- but was really annoyed by all the peeling. My dermatologist gave me Prevage MD- I love it! Scientifically (I am a scientist by profession) the Retin A 1% should be better, but I have found that Prevage MD makes my skin look even younger- without all the irritation of Retin A. It is even reducing the two teeny lines I was getting around my eyes. My skin looks more luminous, with a youthful glow I haven’t seen in years. BUT- make sure you get the real thing from a DR! My cousin tried it from a website and ended up with irritation. When she purchased from a DR- it worked perfectly! If you can afford it- this is the best stuff out there.

Prevage MD is the BEST!!!! product ever
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have sensitive skin and I did not have any bad reaction to Prevage MD, but a friend of mine did. If you are one of the person that don’t get bad reaction from Prevage MD, you’re a lucky girl. From all the expesive creams I have bought during the years, so far this is the best one. It delivers results and fasts. I am 43yrs, I had a line in between my eye brows that in order to make it dissapear I went for botox. Unfortunately, Botox is too expensive for me and only last 6 months, so my doctor recommended me Prevage MD. The line between my eye brows has dissapeared. Prevage MD has helped me get my skin soft as a baby’s bottom and it has lighten up dark areas of my face. I recently, stared using this cream on the dark circles around my eyes. The product instructions do not read that can be use for around the eye areas but I took my chances. After putting the Prevage MD on the dark circles, I use a good moisturizer right after and I start noticing the dark circles getting lighter. I am sticking to this product. I always keep 2 bottles in my house.
PS: Prevage MD is not the same as Prevage. Prevage MD is pure. The regular Prevage from Elizabeth Arden is diluted so it will not deliver the best results. Both Prevage, MD and regular, cost about the same price.

Amazing Indeed
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Oh my God! I’ve used this only 3 days now. Prevage MD started working immediately. Sun spots lightened and fine wrinkles disappeared. Not only does my face look better, but the skin on the rest of my body (where I’m NOT applying Prevage) is improving too — Imagine that! The skin on my legs is noticeably smoother. Yesterday, I was working out at the gym (wearing shorts) and I couldn’t stop staring at my legs – under fluorescent light to boot. The only explanation I can think of is this: With Prevage correcting my face, my body’s natural healing powers are more able to correct the rest of me. This stuff is worth every cent.

The most amazing anti-aging cream that really works
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Prevage MD is all that it is hyped up to be by Elizabeth Arden, For once a cosmetic company is not trying to market their way into our wallets with some silly concoction. Fine lines have disappeared, sun spots have lightened and my skin looks like it did during the ‘collagen years!’

Using Prevage MD daily
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been using Prevage MD twice daily for two years and have found that it has reduced fine lines and given my skin a firmer look. Using Prevage MD daily including moisture creams and sunscreen keeps my skin looking younger.

Bad reaction to Prevage
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought prevage from my dermatologist. I put it on my face and neck before I went to bed. I woke up with my entire face swollen. My eyes, in particular, were so swollen I could barely see. My neck was red, hot and itchy. Benedryl did not help reduce the pain and suffering. It lasted for three days. Horrible!
I have used many other anti-wrinkle products in the past, prescription and non-, without a bad reaction.
I would not even give it one star!!!

Beware of sudden allergic reaction!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I was reading some of the reactions to Prevage MD and I had exactly the same reaction as another poster. I used it for about a month and suddenly I woke up to a red, burned-feeling face. It itched so badly I cried. Nothing over the counter would stop it. My eyes were swollen shut and then my face began to peel. It was horrible! I ended up going to the doctor and had to have a steroid injection to stop the rapid advancement of my allergic reaction.(Which was progressing even as I sat in the doctor’s office.) I do not have overly sensitive skin and have never had a reaction to any lotions or other treatments before, but I made up for lost time when I used Prevage MD. When I told my doctor what had happened she said, “Oh yes, that happens fairly often.” That might have been good to know before I shelled out $135. Be very careful. I learned a very expensive lesson.

Prevage is great!

I’ve been using Prevage for a few months now and my skin is feeling firmer and my wrinkles are lessened. I’ll be 50 in a month.

disappointed
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I had purchased Prevage elsewhere. The product had worked very well. It had lightened some dark spots noticeably and also removed some fine wrinkles. When I started using the Prevage I got from Amazon the dark spots and wrinkles came back after about 3 weeks of using the product. I am not pleased at all with the results I got from the product. It seems to be totally different than the product I bought in the past (not from Amazon)

Good Product
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I just started using this product about 6 weeks ago. I got it from an MD’s office and read all the literature included with the container. I found it to have a really good effect on my dry skin/minor wrinkles and I am middle aged. It has a hydrating effect, and if you get your regular rest and are not run-down or tired, it gives your skin a really nice, firmer texture. It’s not a miracle drug; nothing is. I know that to effectively get rid of your wrinkles, you have to have some kind of deep peel, preferably the CO2 laser. I have used other products and like this one – I would definitely use it again. All products have the potential to cause allergies.

Buy only from a Dr office!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Prevage is an amazing product! I am an aesthetician that retails this in a doctors office. It is a very strong product that delivers wondeful results. Products that are purchased where they are not technically supposed to be purchased (ie: Paul Mitchell in Stop n Shop) are usually fake or tampered with. Also, there are problems with irritation from Prevage due to the dyes and fragrances that have been added to hide the horrible scent of the wondefully working ingredient. When purchased in the proper location, you will love your skin after using this product! FYI Visage MD is a claiming to have 1.5% Ibedenone and they are selling it online. Either that is a lie, or they will get in a lot of trouble soon.

Caution
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I was given a sample of Prevage by my dermatalogist. Applied it one time. I am not particularly sensitive to lotions, etc. Woke up 24 hours later with eyes swollen shut and face bright red, burning and swollen so that I was unrecognizable. My doctor ordered Prednizone to counteract the allergic reaction and I am doing better. I have since heard of others with the same reaction. Will probable take a week to subside, hopefully with no lasting effects. Beware, this is a strong treatment. I would definitely not apply any without a skin patch test first.

A little disappointed
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This was my second bottle of Prevage. The first I had purchased from an M.D. and was very impressed with the way my skin began improving almost immediately. However, the bottle I purchased through Amazon lacked the same feel, nor did it produce the same results. It felt as though it had been diluted. At any rate, the real product is good. Perhaps this was just a fluke and the company produced an batch that was inferior. In the future, I’ll just purchase from my doctor again. I would recommend Prevage MD but be sure you know what you’re getting.

Fabulous product. I have been using Prevage MD for two years and see very good results. I use it only at nightime. Wonderful product.

stay away from this product – urgent
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
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…

WORST PRODUCT EVER — TERRIBLE REACTION
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I’ve used many products and have undergone various minor cosmetic procedures (microdermabrasion, laser genesis and photofacials) and I’ve never had a reaction. After using Prevage MD for two weeks, my race erupted in a rash– itchy, red, bumpy and swollen. It’s so bad that I have to take steroids and apply topical cortisone. I have NEVER experienced something like this and hope that nobody has else has to go through it. I now look terrible, feel very uncomfortable and have to take off days from work to hopefully re-cooperate. Please don’t risk your face on this product, it’s not worth it.

One pea sized portion and I still am having a severe painful allergic reaction on my face 5 months later.

One pea sized portion once and I still am having a severe painful allergic reaction on my face 5 months later. When is this redness and terrible burning going to end?
