Revolutionary beauty brand FaceGym has a new product on its books promising to give you your brightest skin yet? But does it live up to the hype? We take a look…
A quick recap for those at the back…
For the uninitiated, FaceGym has been disrupting the beauty world since its launch in 2016, offering what is essentially a HIIT workout for your face. Loved by the likes of Bella Hadid, Lizzo, Karlie Kloss and Ellie Goulding, the brand uses high-performance “workouts” to tighten, brighten and bring new life to skin at their salons, everywhere from London to LA. The unique treatment has been described as one of the best non-invasive facials around, and on top of that, FaceGym have launched a series of tools and skincare ingredients to continue your skincare journey at home. There’s everything from eye-lifting masks to face sculpting tools, daily serums to skin plumping moisturisers.
So what’s new…
The latest product to join the award-winning line is LIFTWEAR, a high-performance gel-cream moisturiser promising to kick your skin into shape, making it firmer, plumper and more hydrated skin.
Coined as ‘shapewear for the face,’ it works beautifully under makeup, prepping the skin to feel protected and nourished all day but also giving you a smooth canvas to apply your makeup. It’s super light-weight but feels nourishing, making it ideal for all skin types.
The science behind it…
All sounds good but does it actually work? In short, yes. FaceGym has always been about high-performance, results-driven skincare and LIFTWEAR instantly makes skin feel pepped up and brighter. That’s, in part, thanks to the holy trinity of ingredients at its core – Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Amber Microalgae. Vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant, reduces dark spots and generally gives your face a glow; Niacinamide helps to ease redness, soothe acne and other inflammatory skin conditions, as well as reduce visible pores; and the lesser known Amber Microalgea – encapsulated from the Cantabrian Sea it helps to brighten, preserve and even out skin tone. Add to this sirtalicetm, a potent marine bioferment ingredient that is derived from bacteria that lives 3400m deep in the Indian Ocean. It recharges the skin’s energy by stimulating the synthesis of proteins involved in mitochondrial respiration and energy production.
Not to blind you with science, that basically means it gives you an instant lift and V-shape effect within 30 minutes of application, with the effect improving even more over time. Plus, in keeping with FaceGym’s original values, the product is intended to work in tandem with their V-Lift Method, a series or facial workouts to further firm the skin – more on those in a minute.

The V-LIFT method…
As with all FaceGym skincare products, it’s encouraged to use LIFTWEAR with the brand’s famous facial “workout” to achieve that snatched look. Read on to find out how you can instantly firm, lift and add glow to your face, with nothing but a few trusty skincare products and your hands.
Knuckle Jawline Cuts
Using both hands, take the index and middle finger and use the knuckles to sweep along your jawline. Starting from the centre of the jaw, place one knuckle below and one above then move upwards towards the ear using medium pressure.
Prayer Lifts
Make a prayer shape at the centre of the chin and sweep both hands upwards towards your ear. Use medium to firm pressure and bow your head down to enhance results.
V Shape Lifts
Use the index and middle fingers on both hands to make a V shape at the tip of the chin. Using medium to firm pressure, slide the fingers upwards on each side of the face to the top of the cheeks. Open your mouth slowly each time to prevent dragging the skin.
Finger Cheek Sweeps
Place your index and middle finger on both hands at the corners of your nose. Using medium to firm pressure, sweep the fingers underneath and along your cheekbone, lifting towards your temple area.
