The Skin Society: Eye Treatment Serum

Hello ladies,

For the past six weeks, I have been using Eye Treatment Serum from The Skin Society with noticeable results. The formula contains the botanicals calendula and nymphaea alba flower along with nutritive oils such as borage and flax seed. Eye Treatment Serum performs beautifully as a firming agent. It works effectively to moisturize and smooth over fine lines around the delicate eye area.   

I apply Eye Treatment Serum after cleansing every evening before bedtime. The formula is concentrated, so I discovered I need less product than with most eye creams. The consistency is a cross between a gel and a cream. It absorbs readily, leaving my skin soft with no oily residue. 

The first day after applying this serum, I noticed firming results.  It also does a notable job in reducing puffiness. Fine lines diminished during the first two weeks of regular use. Shortly after I began using this product, my neighbor asked me to recommend an eye cream. I am always pleased when I can see subtle changes that my skin care routine is working. When others notice results and want to try the product themselves, it's even better. 

For those with extra dry skin, the serum can be layered under another moisturizer. I found it functions well on its own. It's good to know layering is an option for colder weather when skin needs extra hydration. 

If you are accustomed to slathering on copious amounts of eye cream, I will advise against this. Putting on too much product caused some temporary eye irritation, a mild stinging that went away after a few minutes. Using a moderate amount of Eye Treatment Serum resulted in a much better experience. In caring for my dry skin, it's fantastic to achieve the perfect moisture levels with a standard amount of product. 

The packaging features an air tight bottle for hygienic dispensing. I appreciate that the cap can be unscrewed to allow for the contents to be used in entirety. I will admit to fishing out one last application of Miracle Lift with a cotton swab. I am certain I will use the same technique when my bottle of Eye Treatment Serum is almost empty.

The skin care glossary provides a helpful breakdown of the ingredients. Many of the components, even those with chemical sounding names, are naturally sourced. 

Ingredients: Distilled Water, Isononyl Isononoanate, Coco-Caprlyate, Squalane, Glycerin, Acrylates Polymer, VP/Polycarbamyl Polyglycol Ester, Hydrolyzed Sesame, Protein PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Butylene Glycol, Escin, Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate, Centalia Asiastica Extract, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Brassica Campestris Seed Oil, Schinus Terebinthifolius Seed Extract, Sodium Palmitoyl Proline, Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Borage Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Dimethicone, Arachidyl Glucoside, Palmitoyl Proline, Retinol Palmitate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinol, Magnesium Palmitoylglutamate, Sodium Palmitoylsarcosinate, L-Alanine, Polyacrylate 13, Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 20, Dipalmitoyl, Hydroyproline Palmitoyl, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Capryloylhydroxamic Acid, Caprylyl  Glycol, Sodium Phytate, Natural Fragrance.  

Escin is derived from horse chestnut. It helps with circulation and strengthening capillary walls. If you are prone to broken capillaries, escin is a very useful ingredient. 

Nymphaea alba flower, commonly known as white lily, is soothing to sensitive skin and aids in reducing inflammation. It also works as an anti-oxidant to help prevent signs of premature aging. 

Borage oil contains gamma linolenic acid, a fatty acid known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is rich in the essential fatty acid omega-6. Borage oil is an emollient that replenishes skin's natural moisture. It can help with sensitive skin issues like rosacea and acne.  

Eye Treatment Serum is the perfect choice if you are looking for a product to firm skin and minimize the look of fine lines around the eyes. It definitely gets my recommendation. I have had very positive results with products I have tried from The Skin Society and feel confidence in the quality of the brand.

Reviva Labs: DMAE & Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vitamin C Ester Firming Eye Serum

Hello ladies,

For the past few months, I have been using an eye treatment product from Reviva Labs: DMAE & Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vitamin C Ester Firming Eye Serum. This product provides the best lifting action I have experienced with an eye serum. It also does a remarkable job of keeping my eye area looking refreshed. If you aren't getting enough sleep, this serum offers a masquerade in a bottle.

When discussing eye treatment products with a friend of mine who is very particular about her skin care regimen, she asked me what I was using. The next day she e-mailed me about purchasing Firming Eye Serum.

I apply the product on my upper and lower eye area every night before bed. I find that a medium layer works best. The directions mention using gentle tapping motions during application. I used to suffer from migraines, so I skipped this step. I found adding a little more product and delicately massaging it in proved favorable.

I noticed immediate improvement in the areas above the crease and directly below the eyebrow. The lifting action was visible within the first few days of use. I'll admit I didn't even realize I was experiencing minor puffiness beneath the lower lash line until Firming Eye Serum took away all evidence.

Firming Eye Serum also works to minimize dark circles. If your schedule is preventing you from maintaining a proper sleep cycle, this product is the best way I have found to mimic the look of being rested. I recommended it to a client of mine who is a new mother.

It also helps ease the appearance of fine lines. I see the greatest effect on lines when I use the serum twice a day rather than once before bed. While this product's ability to provide lift, minimize puffiness and under eye circles was almost immediate, the wrinkle reduction was cumulative in my case. I saw a visible change within a couple of weeks with continued reduction of fine lines during the first month.

Ingredients: Demineralized Spring Water, Olive Oil, Cyclomethicone, Whole Wheat Protein, DMAE Bitartrate, Mulberry Extract, Lime Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Xantham Gum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid.

DMAE is one of my favorite skin care ingredients. By stimulating the muscles, it provides lifting action and helps prevent sagging.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is utilized in skin care as a potent antioxidant. Because it is soluble in water and oil, alpha lipoic acid can enter more areas of a cell. This is an auspicious quality in helping heal the skin from free radical damage, including fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin C Ester (Ascorbyl Palmitate) is a useful component for helping to prevent free radical damage and repair its harmful effects, showing on the skin as fine lines and age spots. A special form of Vitamin C that easily penetrates the skin , Vitamin C Ester can help protect cells from environmental factors such as pollution.

If you are looking for a multi-purpose eye treatment that can help with lifting action, reducing puffiness and dark circles while minimizing fine lines, Firming Eye Serum will deliver.
