Well Worth the Cost

All eye creams seem to come in tiny .5oz / 15ml containers. I supopse in a way it makes sense - you only use a few drops at a time around your sensitive eyes. You don't want a giant tub of cream going bad by your bed for months while you get through it. In theory by having a small container just about when the lotion starts to fade and age you've run out of it. I know with handmade lotions I make the recipes say they'll last a month at the most before you want to discard them and make a new batch.



I really like the Olay Regenerist eye cream. The container is great - the little pump makes it easy to get out just the few drops you need. You put a few along your lower lid and then gently rub them into the area. The lotion stays put and doesn't get into my eyes. It also doesn't have any fumes or aromas to make my eyes water. I'm the one whose eyes will tear if our cat wanders next to me and rubs my shoulder so my eyes are generally rather sensitive.



You can turn the pump so that it locks into an open position great for if you need to travel.



I use this each morning and evening. I really can tell the difference that my eyes look less tired that the skin looks more healthy. And really it makes sense. All skin needs moisture to stay healthy. That skin beneath and around your eyes is extremely thin so if any skin on your body is going to show dehydration first it would be your eyes. People look at your eyes all the time when they talk to you so they notice that pretty quickly.



The downside of course is that eye cream is rather pricey - but again for the above reasons I don't think it's as bad as it might seem at first. You use tiny amounts. The cream is specially formulated to be safe for use near your eyes and to be light enough to absorb into that delicate skin. You really DO need to take care of that skin area in a special way since the skin is so delicate. And it's well worth it to do that since people who talk to you are generally looking at your face and your eyes when they do so.



I tend to be frugal but this is one of the areas where I think taking good care of yourself is worth it in the long run.More detail ...

Great stuff

I'd read that this works better than $150.00 creams so I decided to give it a try. I like it a lot. I don't know what other reviewers are talking about when they say they don't like the aroma. I find it has very little it's not a bad scent and I can't smell anything while I'm wearing it. I had to put my nose to the jar to smell anything.



Anyway I recommend this product.More detail ...

Sensitive skin? Read this!

I am 39 years old and have very sensitive skin and because of that I had been using fragrance-free products by Clinique. I always thought I looked pretty young until I saw a picture of myself at 29. My skin was so much better looking! After doing some research I decided to give this a try based upon the favorable reviews low cost and the fact that it's fragrance free. (Perfumed lotions make me sneeze).



After one use I noticed a few things. My skin did tingle slightly for a couple of hours but it wasn't painful; just mildly annoying. But there was no rash or irritation. My cheeks looked a bit red however it appeared more like a natural tint. The second thing I noticed is that my skin almost immediately looked better! I know that sounds crazy. I also didn't need to put on any blush because of the tint I mentioned. As the day wore on the tingling went away. (I also started using Neutrogena Light Night Cream for a moisturizer- it's fragrance-free and doesn't have sunscreen which I don't need every day.)



I applied it the next morning again and noticed the same things. I decided to try it every other day and have to say I REALLY notice a difference! My skin looks almost as good as my pic from ten years ago.



I think the minor discomfort I mentioned is due to my sensitivity to most products but because I am so pleased with the results I'm sticking with it.



Update: After using this for a week I no longer have any sensitivity and my skin is incredibly soft and luminous! I would change this to five stars but I am unable to edit that portion.More detail ...
