Genie Instant Line Smoother |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Genie Instant Line Smoother is a topical product for women advertised as having a powerful natural formula for smoothing away “the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, bags and puffiness.” As the name implies, the product is marketed as taking effect immediately and lasting “for hours,” though such a claim may not have been properly backed up.
There may be many gimmicks and questionable claims made on the Web for similar skincare products, but women who are not trained to distinguish between the quality products and those that are ineffective may be especially susceptible to the marketing of unscrupulous companies. We will get a closer look at this topical solution to see how promising it may be.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
The product’s official website says the formula may contain some of the following ingredients: Deonionized Water, Aloe Vera Gel and Hydrolyzed Collagen, Sodium Silicate, Propylene Glycol, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Cellulose gum, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Cucumber Extract, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Hydrolyzed Silk Proteins.
It does not seem this product contains the most advanced skin care ingredients currently on the market. These include Matrixyl 3000®, Argireline®, Hyaluronic Acid and fresh Collagen.

| Ingredients in Focus |
We are glad to see that the formula may consist of a variety of vitamins, nutrients, herbal extracts and other botanicals. Some women may prefer using formulas that are based on naturally occurring ingredients, though this may not necessarily result in enhanced effects. Ingredients like Aloe Vera Gel, Vitamin E, Hydrolyzed Silk Proteins and Cucumber Extract may have a smoothing effect on the skin.
However, we are most interested in the Hydrolyzed Collagen that is listed as one of the components of the formulation. Though the substance may have varying degrees of potency – depending on the source and extraction process – Collagen in general is believed to be important for maintaining firm and younger-looking skin – especially as our supplies become depleted with age.

| Lifestyle |
The manufacturer advises women to use this product after their normal skincare regimen and before applying makeup, which leads us to believe the product is meant exclusively for daytime use. After the skincare products dry and absorb completely, women are advised to apply two pumps of this solution all over the face, eyelids and neck – without rubbing the product in.
Unfortunately, the company does not specify whether this product’s formula has undergone rigorous clinical testing or not – which may become a problem for those considering this product for regular and long-term use. This is because clinical studies are known to be a good indicator of how a product may perform in a real environment, with particular attention paid to potential side effects.

|
| Negatives |

| Final Thoughts |
Genie Instant Line Smoother may be advertised as an effective skincare product, but we believe women may do better by exploring some of the higher-end anti-wrinkle creams on the market. Some of the more promising formulas may include Collagen, but may build on its strength by infusing other premium ingredients, like Argireline® and Hyaluronic Acid.
We believe online shopping may be especially convenient for women who may lead busy lives and may not have the time to do all of their shopping locally. This product may be purchased online, but we note that a 100 percent money-back guarantee may not be available at time of review. Furthermore, it does not appear this formula has received much praise in the media, unlike some of the most effective products on the market, which have been featured extensively in well-known publications.
