Forever Flawless is a luxury anti-aging beauty brand that infuses real diamond powder into their entire product line. The idea for using diamonds in skin care came from a popular trend in the beauty industry: diamond microdermabrasion treatments and diamond peeling at high-end, professional salons and spas. Forever Flawless aims to offer similar benefits and experience of high-end spa or salon treatments at the comfort of one’s home.
In this Forever Flawless review, we’ll discuss key products, key formulation details, Forever Flawless reviews from real customers, and an alternative for you to consider.
Key products
Forever Flawless skin care products are divided into 9 unique collections: Daily Care, Eye Care, Anti-Aging, Collagen Boost, Lifting & Stretching, Body, Men, Titanium, and Perfection.
Since there are too many products to cover in one review, below we’ll discuss three of the most popular Forever Flawless skin care products: Diamond Infused Peeling Gel, Diamond Infused 24K Gold Instant Tightening Complex, and Diamond Infused Collagen Serum.
Forever Flawless Diamond Infused Peeling Gel is a gentle, yet effective exfoliating and peeling treatment for your face that is suitable for all skin types. It is said to gently remove dead and dry skin cells and impurities from the top layer of your skin, revealing smooth, soft, and luminous skin underneath.
Forever Flawless Diamond Infused 24K Gold Instant Tightening Complex is a skin tightening cream formula that is said to minimize visible signs of the aging process, such as fine lines and wrinkles, and is designed to achieve an instant tightening and lifting effect.
Part of the brand’s Pink Diamond Collection, Forever Flawless Diamond Infused Collagen Serum is said to rejuvenate your skin by repairing damaged skin tissue, increasing collagen production, and protecting the skin from free radicals. Regular use of this collagen serum is claimed to result in younger, firmer, and more elastic skin while preventing further signs of aging.
Key formulation
Forever Flawless uses real diamond powder in all of their skin care products because diamonds have been widely recognized for their exceptional powers and therapeutic abilities. In ancient times, diamonds were regarded as the gemstones of Venus, the Roman goddess that represents beauty, love, and fertility. In modern times, diamonds are considered as a symbol of purity and perfection. In alternative medicine, diamonds are known for strengthening all the energy centers of the human body.
One of the most popular trends in the beauty industry is diamond microdermabrasion treatments at high-end, professional salons and spas. These treatments require several visits to the spa or salon. Another recent trend in salons and spas is diamond peeling, in which the aesthetician uses diamond crystals and powder throughout the facial treatment. These kinds of treatments are very effective and common among celebrities, but are generally very expensive.
Forever Flawless wanted to take luxury skincare, for personal use, to the next level by integrating diamond exfoliation and peeling benefits into their formulas. That is, in every use of their products there is a phase that includes a controlled diamond exfoliation and peeling. Then, in phase two, when the skin is ready, the cream, serum, or mask penetrates deeper and more effectively into the skin for a better ultimate results. Next, we’ll discuss the main ingredients (besides diamond powder) that you can find in each of the key Forever Flawless products mentioned above.
The formulation of Forever Flawless Diamond Infused Peeling Gel will likely give you an instant tightening effect due to the very high concentration of witch hazel water. Witch hazel water is a source of tannins. Tannins impart astringent properties, resulting in a constricting and drying effect when applied to the skin. They work by cross-linking with keratin proteins, creating an invisible film that can temporarily degrease skin, tighten and tone skin, and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. However, it should be noted that tannins can cause irritation and sensitization reactions with some people. Another ingredient that may irritate the skin is apricot seed powder, which is included to further exfoliate the skin.
Unfortunately, apricot kernels have irregular and sometimes sharp edges that can scratch or tear at skin.
Interestingly, the brand does not disclose the list of ingredients used in the Forever Flawless Diamond Infused 24K Gold Instant Tightening Complex.
Similar to the brand’s Peeling Gel, the formulation of Forever Flawless Diamond Infused Collagen Serum is pretty disappointing. The majority of the formula consists of water, carbomer 940 (gelling agent), polysorbate 80 (surfactant), and triethanolamine (a toxic buffering agent). All of the beneficial ingredients are used in concentrations of less than 1%. We know this by looking at the ingredient list (which is in order of descending concentrations). All of these ingredients are listed after the preservative phenoxyethanol, which cannot be used in concentrations more than 1%.
Forever Flawless reviews
There aren’t many Forever Flawless reviews on the The Derm Review and most of them are negative. Most complaints relate to the companies policies and tactics, including the high pressure sales tactics. In fact, most negative reviews related to this and not the product instead. For example, one review said: “I completely agree with Misty and JC. I was sucked in and spent thousands. Turns out I was allergic and cant return the product and get my money back. They offered me thousands in discounts and I still paid thousands. They get you when they will only give you back based off 70% retail. Since I got it at 70% off I couldn’t get any back. so I am out a bunch of money for a product I cant even use. I was a FOOL! Buyer be ware. Over inflated prices so you cant return and get your $$ back if you have issues.”
Our Verdict
Overall, we think that Forever Flawless products are overpriced and not worth the high price tag.
Pros
- Fancy packaging
Cons
- High cost (some products cost thousands of dollars)
- High pressure sales tactics
- Synthetic fragrance blends
- Nu Skin products are tested on animals
- 25% restocking fee for refunds.
Anonymous Original review: Apr 08, 2022.
I was walking through a mall in NJ, when a man named Roy (the “manager,” light brown/blond hair, claimed to be polish and had an accent– he said he lives in Las Vegas and travels every 3 months) stopped me to show me a demonstration. The product he first showed me on my hand was the Forever Flawless “Diamond Infused Facial Peel,” I was apprehensive about the price of $179 for just a facial peel. So after bantering for awhile he offered the peel, “diamond infused hydra AM moisture complex facial creme” and deluxe nail set for $179 + tax. Cool, I was still hesitant but I agreed. It ended up being $191 and some change.
While he was ringing me up, we started talking about the bags under my eyes. He then decided he needed to show me their under eye products. He applied them to my face, which was nice. They made me look great, but I noticed the “Black Truffle Instant Repair Syringe” by Truffoire looked tinted (like make up). I brought that up, he denied and was like oh no, no it is not it goes on clear. After he told me how great I looked blah blah blah, he showed me the prices: $1250 for the repair syringe and $225 for the eye serum. At that point I was like absolutely not. But then he was like how about $600+ tax for the serum, eye repair, and a free facial worth $500.
I thought the idea of the facial was really cool and the products SEEMED nice enough. So I agreed. (Apparently I am really gullible). The total for the second purchase was $666 and some change. While he was ringing me up, he must have felt bad for scamming me because he threw in a “gift” for free of the “purifying toner.”
I am home and examined under my eye, the “repair syringe” is 100% just a tinted moisturizer that comes of with rubbing your finger.
Now, I am searching online and can see on eBay you can buy some of this stuff like the peel for $50. Other reviews people say their experiences at the mall and the “Black truffle instant repair syringe” was only $163 not $1250.
I looked at the receipt and it says the free facial is a “facial consultation,” which leads me to believe they are going to try and get me to pay for even MORE while I am there. I’m a small, apparently naïve woman and their facials are in a seperate room, so I’m actually scared to go. But I want to go to tell Roy that he is a jerk.
I feel like I was robbed and violated. In no means am I rich. This is disgusting. I know I will not get my money back. But this is not a nice feeling. Someone on here said to dispute the charge, but I don’t know if it’s legit to do that because technically they gave me “expensive products” according to the website.
I would NOT recommend purchasing from here.
P.S. someone mentioned their sales rep showing receipts for $12,000 and absurdly high amounts… they did that to me too! It’s all a tactic.
