In An Instant is a new skincare system that is manufactured by the beauty care giant Guthy-Renker, and is sponsored by the supermodel Heidi Klum. Lately, Heidi has become as famous for her style criticism on the hit show Project Runway as she has for her work on the runway. In An Instant is available for order from an official product website, and consumers are also treated to a video testimonial from Heidi herself. It seems that the In An Instant Wrinkle Smoothing Pen is the star product in the In An Instant line, or at least it’s certainly the most unique. This seems to a be more of a wrinkle spot treatment for difficult areas than a comprehensive wrinkle fighter.
The four products in the In An Instant line are: The Gentle Foaming Cleanser, The Intensiv Firming Serum, Instant Daily Tinted Moisturizer and the previously mentioned Wrinkle Smoother Pen. It seems that all four items are available for the price of $39.95. Consumers are then enrolled in a subscription service where they receive a new product kit every 3 months.
Product Details
Full directions are given for each In An Instant product in the 4-piece kit. The odd thing about In An Instant is that new ingredients are given and no real science is discussed on the official site. There are a few vague mentions of peptides, which could be any one of hundreds of specific, lab-synthesized molecules, and then the benefits of “magical moisture spheres” are also highlighted. Typically, we like to know a little bit more about what’s in our products before we buy anything. Additionally, there does not seem to be a free trial offer of In An Instant available at this time.
The Good
- In An Instant can be easily and conveniently ordered from the official manufacturer online.
- Heidi Klum certainly looks great!
- Each individual In An Instant product is discussed in some detail, including usage directions.
The Bad
- We were unable to find any full ingredient lists for any In An Instant products on the official product website.
- Not every consumer will be happy with having to use four products daily (some of them multiple times per day.)
- We saw no free trial offer, meaning consumers have to pay full price for the product just to try it out.
- It doesn’t appear that there is an option to buy only one In An Instant product—consumers are forced to get the whole kit.
The Bottom Line
Once you get past Heidi Klum’s gorgeous smile, In An Instant looks like a fairly conventional wrinkle fighting kit. While some consumers may enjoy the idea of a 4-step skincare regimen, others might think that it takes too much time and effort. Unfortunately, there is no free trial of any In An Instant product, which means consumers have to pay full price just to see if it will work or not.
I ordered the product for the first time more than a year ago. I cancelled my ‘membership’ because I was caught off guard being billed every month and receiving 3months of product at one time. I did not like that. However, more than a year later, i have not found any tinted moisturzier that compares to their product. I love it! Also, I really like the firming serum, and believe that I am seeing results already for the bags under my eyes. I reordered the line based on those two products. The others I use, but can do without.

I agree with you! I actually have slight reactions to the eye cream so I cannot use that but I love the two products that you mentioned.

I like your product, the problem is, it’s for three months use but after two months all the your products are empty especially the wrinkle smoother. i am using it only ones a day.How come that your wrinkle smoother is good only for 2 weeks?

Tried the trial. Hated it. Called the company to return it, was on hold for 20 minutes, called back, the phone rang once and went to busy. They sent second box, I wrote letter that I could not reach them but did not wish to have the merchandise. No response. I sent another letter, they sent bill. I sent a letter, certified mail, they sent bill, and then sent it to collection. They totally ignore your efforts at return so be prepared to be stuck with it. These people are SCAM artists. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!
