Review : Fancl Facial Stretch Gel



Product Description
Skin care booster that increases the absorption and efficacy of beauty ingredients. Incorporate with massage technique for a more radiant complexion.

This product was highly recommended to me, when I was browsing through their products in Isetan Scotts. I guess when you have a cherubic face shape like me, promoters tend to push such lifting products to you, for that V-shape outline.

This product is said to promote firming, hydrating and softening results, with its various plant extracts and firming ingredients like Tuberose, Peptides, Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed Rice Cream to re-hydrate and improve blood circulation for glowing and dewy complexion.

I couldn't resist buying it when it was on 70% off but I wasn't disciplined enough to use it every day because of the massage steps involved. Instead, I only use for 2 to 3 times per week. 2 months down the road, I still have about 50% left in the bottle.

Housed in a clear bottle, the clear gel serum is easy to dispense by pumping it out for 3 to 5 times, for the face and neck. The scent-less serum is thick and sticky which requires some time to spread it on the face and neck. In its packaging, it contains a sheet of its massaging techniques but explained in Japanese.



During purchase, an instruction booklet was provided with all the massage steps as stated below, explained in English but it was still not easy to follow through. Clarins manual lifting method, used together with its facial lift product is much simpler than this.


However, following the massage methodology, I see results immediately, from the first usage and thereafter for the next 2 weeks. My skin was brighter, glowing and radiant. But, thereafter, the result is not obvious to my naked eye anymore. I certainly hope that its because my skin has become more radiant than before using it, so any changes thereafter is not apparent.

Still, I have to give the thumbs up for Fancl products so far, as it truly live up to its claims. But you certainly have to take note of its expiry dates, especially if you don't use the product often.

According to Divaasia, lifting products can be used for the following concerns.

To firm up the eye area
1. Place the tips of your middle fingers on the hollows of the inner corners of the eyes, press gently and lift them slightly.
2. Slide the tips of the middle fingers along the eyebrows, from the inner brows towards your temples. Gently press on the temples and lift.
3. Glide the tips of the middle fingers from the temples to the undereye area and gently press on the inner corners of the eyes. Repeat these three actions twice.

For a smoother nose bridge
1. For this massage, use your index, middle and ring fingers.
2. Slide one hand - with the three fingers touching the nose bridge - from the middle of the brows downwards. Alternate with the other hand. Repeat the move six times.
3. Use both middle fingers to gently press on the wings of your nose, then slide them towards the tip of the nose. Repeat it six times.

To lift the mouth area
1. Using the pads of your middle and ring fingers, place them just above the lips. Slide them upwards and towards the area under the cheekbones and press gently. Repeat two times.
2. Repeat the same movements, but this time, start by placing your fingers below the lips. Do this twice.

To lift jowls
1. Place the pads of the middle and ring fingers firmly on the chin. Then slide them along your jawline and towards the back of the ears. Repeat this twice.
2. Using the same fingers, start the massage from the corners of the mouth, and end just behind the ears. Repeat twice.
3. Using the same fingers, start the massage from the sides of the nose and end at the temples. Gently press the temples for three to five seconds. Repeat this twice.
