These 5 Star Reviews ARE real!!!! - By: D. Grayson, 11 Nov 2008 
While most of the reviews are positively glowing (and rightly so) there are some naysayers here. Granted, a few don't understand the instructions. I understood them fine, but it seems not everyone is a natural 'visualizer', & are put off by the descriptions. (Hint - it's like when the trainer at the gym tells you to concentrate on your biceps contracting alll the way when you're doing curls, the mental part pushes the physical to make it that much more effective, which is where things reallly count). And, the poor woman who has an undiagnosed illness & says the exercises have stretched her skin - they simply cannot stretch the skin. I have had to ease up on the cheek exercises because I wind up with over-pronounced cheeks that change my face a bit (so I only do it once a day, not twice. It's that effective). Unfortunately, her illness is what is causing her skin to lose elasticity & age (likely something causing inflammation), so it's a shame that the thing that can help her is in the trash bin.
I have been doing these exercises since the day I bought the book seven years ago. At age 30, I was already seeing my mother's jowels on my own jaw, & didn't relish the idea of looking more & more like a bulldog as I got older. Within a week they were diminished significantly, & at age 37, I don't even have jowel 'buds'. I can't imagine what I'd look like had I not stumbled upon this book. And I only do the routine once a day, not twice, so I have room to step it up when I'm in my 40s. The only place I have fine lines is under my eyes, but I don't have crowsfeet or laugh lines, & my nasal-labial folds just simply never deepened, they barely exist. My dreadfully thin lips actuallly have a raised lipline now, & my eyebrows are high & firm. People mistake me for being in my mid 20s on a regular basis, & I don't mind that at alll!
I can see why some may think these reviews are fake, we just don't have 'miracle' fixes these days. These exercises are still a well-kept secret as the expensive creams are what's alll the rage, but unfortunately they just don't do anything other than give you soft skin or temporarily firm. And people need to be willing to do a bit of work, nothing that's real is completely effortless. For the lady who thought it took too much time (10 minutes max a day? I do it in five & the results are still amazing) & gave the book to a charity shop, there is a stranger out there with far better skin than yours, & I bet she thanks you very much! And is £10,000 to get your face cut apart, suctioned, pulled & stapled reallly a better option? Or botox jabs at £300 a pop, every 6 months until your face becomes contorted with hard spots alll over?
I came here today to get the link for this book to send to a new friend who nearly fell off her chair when she found out how old I am. She's 30, the same age as when I started, so she'll be able to enjoy decades of causing people to falll off their chairs.
Facercise Does Work!! - By: Charlotte Brown, 07 Nov 2008 I am 51 & although I look younger the last year especiallly, I have noticed a downturn & thinning of my lips, & soft pouchy jowls on my jawline. I have been using this for one week now & my lips are no long downturned & thin. I have a more pronounced jawline as the jowls have faded & my double chin is receding.
I was determined to make these work & the first time I did them it took me 50 minutes, the second day 40, the third 30 & now can do the first 14 exercises in 15 minutes. Don't be too concerned at first with assuming the position or whether your lying down or sitting. I just sat up straight & did them like that for the first few days.
A lot of the exercises involve visualizing which is difficult, but stick with it, concentrate & you will see results.
Too time consuming for me! - By: RW, 06 Nov 2008 
This book may or may not work ... I don't reallly care to find out in the long term, it was way too time consuming for me. I just couldn't be bothered to spend 20 minutes every day exercising my face. I'd rather spend the time in bed. I would be much more attracted to the Eva Fraser 10 minutes 3 times a week idea! I didn't reallly like the idea of the repetitive exercises either. I think I gave this book away to a charity shop.
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant! - By: Ms. J. C. Brown, 12 Sep 2008 I've had Eva Frasier's workout book for years. It was one of those things I picked up now & then when I felt I needed a facial workout. But it was also something I found quite tedious & consequently never kept it up.
Then I was googling for facial exercises & came across Carole Maggio on youtube and, quite frankly, it has changed my life. My face looks more toned & people comment on how fresh I look these days.
It's a lot easier to do than Eva's & the results are reallly quick. I don't like the idea of botox or any artificial product in my face but at 49 I also want to go down fighting on the aging front & this workout provides just that. It has reversed scowl lines between my brows & they continue to improve & smooth. I have to say I was amazed at this because this is an area that people succumb to botox for & mine were quite deep seated. I wish I'd known that this could have been a video review before hand as I'd have done a video journal to prove it.
Give it a try & keep going with it you will be amazed that with so little effort you can change & tone your face without surgery.
Good and bad - By: Borachon, 07 Jun 2008 I've been unwell since September 2007. My eyes are sore & swollen alll the time & I feel generallly rotten, & no doctor has been able to diagnose what's wrong with me. As a result, however, the skin under my eyes has become stretched & loose, & I've developed huge hollows under my eyes. I'm 34, & until recently people always thought I was in my 20's. So as you can imagine, it's quite disturbing to suddenly age 10+ years in a few short months (I definitely look my age now). So I decided to get this book, to try to do something about it. I've used it now for 2 weeks.
First the good... my hollows have been filled in. Not completely, but there is definitely an improvement. My cheekbones look much more defined. My swollen eyes are just as bad, but I reckon nothing short of surgery can help me there. My jawline is stronger.
Now the bad... it has definitely stretched my skin. I have loads of fine lines which I didn't have before, & some of the smalll acne scars & damaged pores are much more pronounced. My forehead is the most noticeably damaged area. There are many lines now that weren't there before. The exercises themselves are not particularly obvious to follow... I've since seen the video, & I was doing some of the exercises slightly wrong, & had misunderstood what she meant by "pulsing".
So I've stopped doing the exercises before any further damage is done, although I may continue with the eye exercises, because a few lines is better than the horrible hollows my mystery illness has created! So just be careful. Perhaps my skin is just easily damaged, but maybe yours is too.
EDIT: 11 days since I stopped the exercises & my face is in ruins. Huge lines & stretch marks & large craters have developed. My face has a jigsaw like appearance. I feel very, very, miserable. Approach this programme with extreme caution.
