This allows you roll, not rub, eye wrinkles away.

iQ Derma RestorEye Success Stories

Members from TotalBeauty.com Report:

I’m 37 and I’ve used this for about a year now, and that is the longest I’ve stayed with a single product line. I have found that with continued use it keeps the wrinkles at bay.

I’ve been using this eye cream for a few months now. I’m 31yrs old and started seeing those little lines around my eyes. I can tell you that I really see a difference.

I won this in a giveaway; I had never heard of it before but now that I have, let me tell you what I’ve learned. When I received it in the mail, I immediately took it out of the box and put on my bathroom shelf. The next day I decided to start the regimen. Nothing on the jar explains what is is supposed to do, nor did the box. I purposely did not research. I wanted to see what the results were without any expectations. I used it as directed, morning and night. When I put it on, it felt a little tingly but I still didn’t know if it was an under eye lightener or what, would it get rid of circles? Three weeks later, I’m here to report that it successfully eliminated the crows feet around my eyes. I still have a few tiny ones but absolutely no where near the amount as before! Now I know and now I love! I have since read the documentation; the test was over and I wanted to see what the claim was now. This product truly does live up to its claims. The jar may be rather expensive but it will last; just a tiny bit is needed!

The Bottom Line

Eye wrinkles, bags and dark under eye circles can make anyone self conscience. The ingredients in iQ Derma RestorEyes give your eyes a more youthful appearance. RestorEyes supports the skin where wrinkles are prone, with a blend of intelligent ingredients that are designed to: smooth away the look of lines and wrinkles, fade the appearance of dark circles and shrink the appearance of under eye bags.

StriVectin-SD Eye Cream Review

May 23, 2008 by RLuve  
Filed under Eye Cream, Reviews

StriVectin-SD Eye Cream helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles around the eye. It contains the same active formula as the original StriVectin-SD Intensive Repair–the popular, cutting-edge anti-wrinkle and stretch mark repair cream–but without aromatic oils (such as peppermint), which caused some users’ eyes to water when applied to the delicate skin in the orbital eye area (the eyelid and the area directly below the eye).

Product: StriVectin-SD Eye Cream
Manufacturer: Klein Becker
Price: $59

Product Description: StriVectin SD Eye Cream is specifically for the sensitive and easily irritable areas around the eye. In a sense it is a more gentle application, with additional ingredients to help soothe the area, as well as less concentration of ingredients which caused slight irritation in some people.

StriVectin-SD Eye Cream is a multi-action orbital eye area perfector enriched with Striadril, a key compound containing patented pentapeptides that help to significantly improve the appearance of fine lines by aiding the build up of collagen. Unlike many other antiaging treatments, Striadril is more stable, better tolerated, safer and more effective.

Usage: Apply to skin clean and dry area around the eye area once to twice a day. Only a tiny amount of eye cream is needed to cover the area. Using the ring finger or pinkey - dot the eye cream along the edge of the bone surrounding the eye. Two dots of cream should be sufficient to cover the area. Gently pat (do not rub!) the cream into the skin - staying around the edge of the bone.

Pros:

  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles around the eye
  • Hydrates well without greasy residues
  • Precise functional anti-wrinkle formula as the original StriVectin-SD, without aromatic oils
  • 1.3 oz will last you approximately 3-6 months
  • 30-day money back guarantee

Cons:

  • May not work well on sensitive skin
  • May cause irritation, dryness and watery eyes

Average Consumer Rating: 3.5/5.0

A Guide to Product Labels for Eye Creams

January 8, 2008 by RLuve  
Filed under Eye Cream

All products are not created equal. To determine if an eye cream is right for you, it’s important to read both the front and back labels. Here’s your guide to deciphering product labels to get the results you are looking for.

The Front Label

Step One: Look For In Active Ingredient

If the product contains an active ingredient, it may be prominently displayed on the packaging along with its concentration. These active ingredients are over-the-counter formulations of drugs, and increase the chances that a product will be effective.

Step Two: Identify The Product’s Goals

The front labels often feature key action buzzwords, such as “anti-wrinkle” or “instant eye repair,” relaying what the product was designed to achieve.

Step Three: Determine If The Product Is A Drug Or Cosmetic

When a product contains an active ingredient, it is classified as a drug, which means it affects the structures or function of the body.

The Back Label

Step One: Note The Active Ingredients

An active ingredient is the chemical that makes the product effective. The percent next to the active ingredient reveals its potency. Essentially, the higher the potency, the higher the effectiveness. When the percentage of certain active ingredients exceeds a specific concentration, they are classified as prescription drugs and can only be dispensed by a doctor.

Step Two: Review The Inactive Ingredients

Inactive ingredients help serve functions other than the products primary, underlying intent. They can help stabilize the product, prolong its effectiveness, enhance its color, deliver its active ingredients to the skin or contribute to its fragrance.

Note: The back label of a product that contains an active ingredient that is classified as a drug may follow a specific format. At the very top you’ll find the active ingredient in its concentration, followed by warnings, directions, inactive ingredients and other information.

Quick Tip: How To Identify An Effective Eye Cream

December 29, 2007 by RLuve  
Filed under Eye Cream

Most eye creams offer solutions to: 1) wrinkles, under eye bags and puffiness; and 2) dark circles. When shopping for an eye cream, focus on your most prominent eye problem and then look for creams with active ingredients that target that issue. The most concentrated ingredients are listed first. Pick creams that have large amounts of the ingredients you need. If the active ingredient you are looking for falls near the end of the list, it may not be very successful in yielding desired effects because this means it is present in low concentration.

For high levels of active ingredients that tend to yield noticeable results, consider physician grade products that target your problem area. Some noteworthy offerings may be found from Kinerase, Murad, Obagi, MD Skincare, N.V. Perricone, and Dr. Brandt. Visit the SkinStore for a complete lisiting of products from these lines.
