For a new skin firming product:
L'ovale de votre visage est comme regalbe.
At the moment, I have the idea of "redefining facial contours", which I was pretty happy with, but then later in the text they refer to a lip balm "qui redessine le contour des levres", which I would also be inclined to translate as "redefining lips".
My question: does redefining get across the idea of regalber? I've also thought of "Giving shape to the face", but not as keen on it.

or if you\'re deciding against the \'re\', how about to contour the lines of your face?

Comment: "Found oodles of references to recontouring, thanks to Victoria. I also liked the ideas of restoring and giving new definition, which I have used elsewhere in the text. Many thanks to all"

not firming as much as injecting silicone to reconstruct curves.

the idea for all these beuaty products is to make you look young again and to restore the juvenile beauty. So skin firming products may allegedly restore the countour of your face, the way you looked when you were young :(
