Teamine comes from Revision Skincare and it is specifically designed to treat the skin under your eyes. Like most eye serums, Teamine claims to reduce puffiness, diminish dark circles, and fill fine lines and wrinkles. Since every eye serum seems to claim these exact same benefits it is difficult to separate the good ones from the bad ones. This dilemma is often compounded with the fact that most of these products have very similar ingredients. The only real way to separate the wheat from the tares is to look at the total package (i.e. price, return policy, customer reviews, ingredients, and company reputation).  That’s what we will do for you in the course of this review.

Teamine Ingredients:

Purified water, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, jojoba esters, vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, glyceryl stearate, persea gratissima (avocado) oil, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (vitamin C), PEG-100 stearate, dimethicone ethylhexyl stearate, oxidoreductase, sorbitol, cetyl alcohol, pseudopterogorgia elisabeathae (gorgonian) extract, glycine soja (soy) peptides, caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycerin, sodium methylesculetin acetate, oenothera biennis (evening primrose) extract, saccharomyces cerevisiae extract, ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10), arnica montana extract, camellia sinensis (green tea) extarct, palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, sodium hyaluronate, polysorbate 20, hydrolyzed rice bran extract, butylene glycol, squalane, phytonadione (vitamin K), tocopherol (vitamin E), aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut) extract, mica, triethanolamine, caffeine, carbomer, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, silica, diazolidinyl urea, disodium EDTA, titanium dioxide, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate.

Some of the more effective ingredients in this list include: jojoba, vitamin C, dimethicone, ubiquinone, hyaluronate, various peptides, vitamin E, and green tea. Teamine has a good handful of ingredients making it more likely to be an effective eye serum.

Teamine Customer Reviews:

“My dermatologist recommended this to me for puffiness, and was very explicit that just a light dab each day was enough – and despite the small bottle it should last over a year. Although I’ve read other reviews that say it hasn’t worked for them, it has for me. It does not work instantaneously (but then again – I’m on the “dab will do” plan. But after a week what had become perpetual puffiness because of allergies, etc. are virtually gone! Wake up each day now – and think, gee – it’s working. I can actually feel a difference in the texture of the skin around my eyes. Don’t know how well it works for dark circles, since mine were never that bad.” – J. Lee

“Of course it may be too soon, but this product did not work for me. In fact my eyes look more puffy. Perhaps, I’m allergic to the ingredients.” – Margie

“I have been using Teamine for about 5 months. I bought it mostly for the puffiness under my eyes although I do have dark circles as well. It has lightened the dark circles but never really took away the puffiness. I am still on my first jar and use this twice a day so a little does go a long way.” – Anonymous

Overall Value:

One jar of Teamine costs $65. It can be purchased through several internet vendors or you can purchase it through your dermatologist and/or at medical spas. Various internet sites will have their own refund policies as will your specific dermatologist or medical spa. Teamine is slightly more expensive than your typical eye serum, but it has more quality ingredients than most of them. It is probably better than most anti-aging creams, but you should talk to your dermatologist to see if it is the right kind of product for you.

The website for Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream is pretty standard. It has all the basic information you need such as a complete list of ingredients, a brief description of how the product works and how to use it, refund information, customer testimonials, news in the press about it, an FAQ section, and some before and after pictures. It does not include research information or clinical trials. The website does a good job of not only explaining the specifics about Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream, but it also explains what stress can do to your skin and how to deal with it.

Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream Ingredients:

The key ingredients in Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream include:

Stearate, dimethicone, glycerin,thyme, jojoba seed oil, orange peel and cotton powder are just a few of the key ingredients found in Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream. Some of these are commonly found in skin care products (i.e. dimethicone and stearate) and others are more unique like the jojoba seed oil and the cotton powder. Clinical tests are limited in both scope and legitimacy with regard to these ingredients, but these reports have been positive. They have the potential to help you deal with lines, puffiness, and dark circles.

Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream Customer Reviews:

“This is my 2nd jar and between my time off, I noticed my under eye area got dull again. I love this product… best one so far in my price range, but I want something thats going to improve my skin over time. I wonder if this has worked ‘over time’.” – Anonymous

“I stumbled onto this product because I needed a new eye cream that wouldn’t cost me too much! I couldn’t be happier with this product. It feels soft on my skin, instantly highlighting the area and firming. I feel beautiful every time I use it. I would highly recommend!” – Anonymous

“I have been using this day and night for the past few weeks and have not seen a difference at all. I’m very disappointed. Will not buy again and would never recommend.” – Anonymous

Overall Value:

One jar of Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream costs $45 and it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee (minus shipping and handling). Based on the before-and-after pictures it would seem that Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream really does work. But, we can’t put a ton of faith into before-and-after shots. If it really works that well then of course it is worth trying. And with some pretty high quality ingredients it just might do the trick. If you want to try something a little different then this might be a good place to start.

Restoration Eye Return was created by Z. Bigatti and according to its website, “The KEY is to use Cold-Extraction process to isolate active ingredients that have a MOLECULE structure SMALL enough to lift and remove the top dead cell layer, penetrate and REPAIR the middle layer and PROTECT the DEEPEST Layer. This is done using oligonutrients/nano technology.” That sounds very scientific and complicated. Basically, it does what most eye serums do: reduce wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, etc. In order to find our way through the scientific buzz words let’s look at the ingredients in Restoration Eye Return.

Restoration Eye Return Ingredients:

The ingredients found in Restoration Eye Return include: Cyclic Hydroxy, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, Grape Seed and Green Tea Extracts, Multiple Botanical Extracts, Superoxide Dismutase, Vitamins A, E, B2, B3, B9, B12, and F.

Cyclic hydroxy and hyaluronic acid are great moisturizers. They are often found in skin care products because they naturally increase your body’s output of its own hyaluronic acid. Panthenol is an emollient and it is useful in reducing inflammation, itchiness, and redness. The extracts are high in antioxidants which are used to reduce free-radical damage in skin cells. Superoxide dismutase is also a powerful antioxidant and it has shown the ability to reduce fibrosis (scar tissue). However, studies are far from conclusive because they lacked the proper controls, randomization, placebos, etc. In summary, Restoration Eye Return has some really good ingredients and the majority of them should be helpful in combating the undereye signs of aging.

Restoration Eye Return Customer Reviews:

“I was always a follower of Z. Bigatti but have never tried the eye cream – I just received it and am in awe of the immediate results. After only a few days of using it I have seen a significant difference in hydration of the under eye line area. The cream is rich and creamy and glides over the area with ease. Kudos to Z.Bigatti!” – MariAna

“Don’t bother purchasing this product. The stuff causes my eyes to sting because the ingredients are so strong. The skin around my eyes is much worse off than before.” – Joy

“Great for puffiness but didn’t work on my fine lines. Not at all. I Used it for about a month and no change on lines.” – Tara

Is Restoration Eye Return Worth Trying?

One jar of Restoration Eye Return costs $125…ouch! Now if it works then most people I am sure would be willing to pay that price. The website for Restoration Eye Return does not have any information regarding a return policy or money back guarantee, but you can call their customer service representatives for that information. We did that and we learned that they offer a 30 day store credit guarantee. You cannot use more than 50% of the Restoration Eye Return and you won’t get any cash back, but after a 15% restocking fee you will have store credit with Z. Bigatti. I suppose it is better than nothing, but store credit is a far cry from getting your money back. We like the ingredients in Restoration Eye Return and it is more likely to work than most average anti-aging serums, but it is also more expensive than most of them.

Rexaline Hydra Eyezone Hyper Hydrating Anti-wrinkle Smoothing Eye Contour Cream….that is a mouthful. So what does it do? Well, like most anti-aging, eye creams it gets rid of puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles under your eyes. They explain that, “This advanced formula combines age-fighting Rexaline Complex, light-reflecting nacres (a pearlizing ingredient), and calming texture to instantly moisturize and illuminate the eye area. In time, the blend of powerful smoothing, calming, and brightening ingredients restores comfort, smoothness, and radiance to the delicate eye area.” Let’s examine the ingredients to see if it really works like they say.

Rexaline Hydra Eyezone Hyper Hydrating Anti-wrinkle Smoothing Eye Contour Cream Ingredients:

The ingredients in Rexaline Hydra Eyezone Hyper Hydrating Anti-wrinkle Smoothing Eye Contour Cream include:

Water (Aqua), Hydrogenated Didecene, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Behenyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycereth-26, C4-24 Alkyl Dimethicone/Divinyldimethicone, Crosspolymer/Isodecyl Isononanoate, Pentylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Polysorbate 60, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Cyclopentasiloxane, Trideceth-6, Blue 1 (CI 42090), O-Cymen-5-OL, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, Urea, Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract, Disodium EDTA, Sodium, Hyaluronate, Royal Jelly Extract (Royal Jelly), Sodium Polygamma-Glutamate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Panax, Ginseng Root Extract, Polydiethyleneglycol Adipate/IPDI Copolymer, Tropolone, Portulaca Oleracea Extract.

A few things stick out here. First, you may notice the absence of some controversial (and potentially damaging) ingredients like parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. You might also notice ingredients like dimethicone and hyaluronate, both of which are quality skin care ingredients.

Rexaline Hydra Eyezone Hyper Hydrating Anti-wrinkle Smoothing Eye Contour Cream Customer Reviews:

“I have been using this product for about a month now. Haven’t really noticed a marked difference in my undereye circles, puffiness,lines. It does provide a good amount of moisture and is fast absorbing. I had been using a heavier cream which left my undereye area dry. However, I was also using and undereye treatment which I believe was worsening the situation. I stopped that treatment too (PTR unwrinkle eye). So, as for now, I would just say this is an avg eye cream, but will continue to use to allow more time for it to work.” – Anonymous

“Really great product! Does not irritate, yet very effective. Getting through an awful dry and cold winter has been challenging and this has been very helpful.” – Anonymous

Overall Value:

1 bottle of Rexaline Hydra Eyezone Hyper Hydrating Anti-wrinkle Smoothing Eye Contour Cream costs $49. It is sold through Sephora so it comes with a great refund policy. If you’re dissatisfied you can return Rexaline Hydra Eyezone Hyper Hydrating Anti-wrinkle Smoothing Eye Contour Cream within 60 days of purchase and you don’t have to pay the return shipping charges. Ultimately, Rexaline Hydra Eyezone Hyper Hydrating Anti-wrinkle Smoothing Eye Contour Cream has some great ingredients and perhaps more importantly, it is missing some potentially harmful ones. It isn’t cheap, but it isn’t outrageously priced either. The great refund policy makes it worth a shot. It might really help you deal with your specific under eye problems.

Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel is “A light and cooling gel to treat, revive and brighten the delicate eye area, under or over makeup.” It is supposed to help treat puffiness and dark circles and improve the look of the eye contour. Based on first impressions I kind of like Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel. It is not ridiculously overpriced, the website is simple and useful, and the ingredients are natural and free of parabens, sulfates, and other chemicals. Let’s examine the ingredients a little closer.

Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel Ingredients:

The ingredients in Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel include:

Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Zostera Marina Pectin, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Laminaria Digitata Extract, Carbomer, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Panax Ginseng Root Extact, Faex (Yeast) Extract, Rumex Occidentalis Extract, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Leaf Extract, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate.

They explain that Mucilages from fig refresh and revive tired eyes. Wild rumex, arnica, ginseng and jiaogulan help reduce puffiness and dark circles. And Pectins from sea grass and natural hyaluronic acid smooth and tone the eye contour.

Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel Customer Reviews:

“It’s not super moisturizing or anything but it did seem to make my dark circles lighter in just a few uses? I put it on and it completely brightened my under eyes and even after washing my face at the end of the day the dark circles still seems much lighter than before using this. Maybe I’m losing it, but I doubt it because those pesky circles are usually standing out screaming at me in the mirror! It helps with puffiness too but that’s not a big problem with me.” – Anonymous

“This product stung my eyes and after 3 days left the skin around my eyes red and irritated, The good news is Ren has a great return policy.” – Cynthia

“I looked like a new person seconds after applying this. I am so excited to find something that actually delivers!” – Anonymous

Overall Value:

Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel costs $45 and it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. If you’re dissatisfied with Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel then you can return it within 30 days and get your money back (minus shipping and handling). Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel is a more appealing option to those customers looking for a more natural alternative to skin care. Lots of companies claim to have all natural ingredients, but most of them still have some potentially harsh chemicals. Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel does not have any. Everyone has different skin and Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel is not the greatest eye serum out there, but it is a viable option for treating the skin underneath your eyes.

The website for Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer is full of grandiose claims and a little bit of evidence. In my opinion it should be the other way around. The website is pretty flashy and it leans more towards the salesman approach instead of the informative approach. For example, “These ingredients are considered the best moisturizing agents and perfectly help erase the aging skin problems. These components are clinically proven by well-known scientists.” Who considers these ingredients to be the best? Who are the “well-known scientists?” They do a lot of talking about research and science, but they don’t really use either one to support their claims. The website does give a brief description of a few ingredients (not a complete list), it provides a few customer testimonials and some before and after pictures, a graph comparing Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer to a top wrinkle cream, and the ability to sign up for the free trial offer. It does not explain the ingredients very much and they don’t really explain what makes it better than its competition…they just claim that it is.

Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer Ingredients:

The main ingredients found in Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer are:

Vitamin E: It works as an antioxidant (eliminates harmful free-radicals) and it helps moisturize your skin. Vitamin E may also improves skin elasticity.

Saccharide isolerate: moisturizer.

Mango, Shea and Coca butter: these ingredients are responsible for balance between hydrolipidic skin layers. That’s fancy talk for moisturizing.

Agaricus Bisponus Beta Glucane: this ingredient might help tone and tighten your skin.

Rosa Canina oil: it works as antioxidant.

Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer Customer Reviews:

“The so-called ‘worry lines’ on my forehead have been smoothed out. Aging is inevitable, but it is just so wonderful that companies like this create a product where we can look younger and feel younger.” – Mary

“Not a huge fan of Radialabs. I don’t think a week is enough time to judge if a product is good or not. It took a week for the stuff to get here and so I had to call pretty quick to cancel my subscription. It was kind of a hassle too.” – Steph.

“My pores have visibly tightened, my skin not only looks good but it feels smoother than ever! I used to be embarrassed, but now I am having fun with my girlfriends and of course showing my new skin off to the guys!” – Louise

Overall Value:

Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer costs a monthly fee of $74.95. They offer an 18 day free trial, but after those 18 days are up (from date of purchase) you will be billed the monthly fee. Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer has some quality ingredients and if we take them at their word then we know it has been tested and proven effective by top scientists. We would be much more confident if they gave us more information concerning ingredients and research, but alas they don’t. Radialabs Wrinkle Reducer might really work, but you can find similar products for less and there are better products out there as well.

R3P Eye comes from Dr. Brandt products. It is one of those do-it-all kind of eye creams. It is meant to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce puffiness and dark circles, and repair damaged skin by providing moisture and essential nutrients to the skin. Most eye serums claim to do one or all of these things, so let’s analyze the ingredients found in R3P Eye.

R3P Eye Ingredients:

There are 5 main ingredients found in R3P Eye (according to their website). These include:

White tea – anti-oxidant that protects skin against free radical damage.

Palmitoyl oligopeptide – simulates collagen, elastin and glucosaminoglycan production.

Green tea – anti-oxidant that protects cells from free radical damage and helps reduce inflammation caused by UV exposure.

Caffeine – an anti-inflammatory that reduces puffiness and stimulates circulation.

Vitamin C – anti-oxidant that supports the natural production of collagen.

These ingredients are good, but R3P Eye lacks a few key ingredients found in most eye serums (i.e. hyaluronic acid, Argireline (wrinkle relaxer…some people like, others don’t), matrixyl 3000, etc.)

Clinical evidence regarding white tea, green tea, and caffeine is primarily concerned with dieting. And although they are proven anti-oxidants and contain anti-inflammatory properties, that does not necessarily mean they will help reduce the appearance of wrinkles or dark circles under your eyes. They should help protect your skin against free radical damage and that may result in healthier looking skin in the long run, but you will not see an immediate effect from these ingredients as you might with others.

R3P Eye Customer Reviews:

“Like everything else… everybody’s skin is different. I’m 44 and have very dry skin specially around my eyes. This cream leaves my skin hydrated and noticed the fine lines are less visible. I’ve been using this product for almost 2 years. Maybe it may take awhile before you notice any difference…” – Anonymous

“In about 10 days the minimal crows feet were gone, skin was firming, smooth and I hate to say it but “youthfully lifted”, under eyes wrinkles were significantly less deep and dark circles noticeably less…My eyes feel adequately moisturized, wrinkles are minimally there.  When I smile the eyes, look good and I honestly don’t think I looked this good in my 20’s.” – Carolyn

“I have been using this for approx. 3 – 4 months. It is an adequate cream for moisturizing, but I see no difference in dark circles or wrinkle reduction. I thought it might take a while to see results, but I would think 3-4 months would be an adequate trial. Save your $$ and try something that has better reviews.” – Sheryl

Overall Value:

One jar of R3P Eye costs $80. It does not come with a true money back guarantee, but if you use less than half of the product then you can return it for a refund (minus shipping and handling). They give you 60 days to send R3P back if it hasn’t worked out for you. Ultimately, R3P Eye costs a pretty penny and it isn’t full of the best ingredients out there. It might work well, but you can find similar products for less.

Murad Hybrids Eye Lift Illuminator is a 2-in-1 problem solver. “[The] experts at Murad combined the effects of makeup to lighten and brighten your eyes along with the skin care benefits of an eye cream to restore, repair and perfect the skin around your sensitive eye region.” Murad Hybrids Eye Lift Illuminator comes in an easy-to-use pen dispenser and you don’t need much to see a difference.

Murad Hybrids Eye Lift Illuminator Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, PPG-12/SMDI Copolymer, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate, Methyl Gluceth-20, Stearic Acid, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Acacia Senegal Gum, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Rhizobian Gum, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Oxido Reductases, Glycerin, Steareth-20, Chrysin, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Dipeptide-2, Sodium Hyaluronate, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Chitosan, Propyl Gallate, Zinc Gluconate, Sodium PCA, Betaine, Sorbitol, Glycine, Alanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Arginine, Lysine, Glutamic Acid, Boron Nitride, Xanthan Gum, PVP, Disodium EDTA, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Aminomethyl Propanol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Mica, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Ext.

Murad Hybrids Eye Lift Illuminator Customer Reviews:

“The skin around my eyes is extremely sensitive, so I have a hard time finding eye creams/products that I can tolerate. A lot of products I’ve tried have made the skin under my eyes look worse than using nothing! But I want to prevent fine lines and protect the skin, so I keep looking for a mild but effective product…This is a great product! I have had no issues tolerating it. I can tell a difference in the appearance of the skin under my eyes after just a few weeks of use, especially that the skin looks brighter. I plan to keep using this product!” – Anonymous

“I tried using this for a few weeks but after seeing no results (well, maybe a little lifting), it fell by the wayside. It now rests in a drawer somewhere begging to go back to the store. Good: Luminesence. Little lifting. Bad: Actually helping with dark circles. As someone with HORRIBLE dark circles, I was just not impressed. Also, the ammount you get for the price. For a $35 goo pen, I want to be impressed.” – Anonymous

Overall Value:

Murad Hybrids Eye Lift Illuminator costs $35. They do have a great return policy: “If you purchased products from Murad directly, we offer a 60-day money back guarantee (from ship date) on all products (except discontinued items), no questions asked. This means if for any reason you are not completely satisfied, you can return the products back to Murad for a full refund of the purchase price, even if the bottles are empty (less shipping and handling).” The price and return policy make Murad Hybrids Eye Lift Illuminator a very appealing option. It may not be spectacular compared to other eye serums, but it is likely good enough to be worth a shot.

Lift SP comes from SP Beauty products and it is “designed to progressively improve the ravages of time by increasing cell production, and improving wrinkle depth, volume and roughness.” They claim that with its unique blend of peptides, Lift SP will actually increase collagen and elastin production. It seems like a very flashy anti-aging cream so let’s look at some of the key ingredients to see if it lives up to that perception.

Lift SP Ingredients:

The primary ingredients in Lift SP are: Sea Weed Extract, Purified Water, Hyaluronic Acid, Acetyl Hexapeptide, Pentapeptide-3, Tripeptide, Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Several of these (such as hyaluronic acid, palmitoyl oligopeptide, and sea weed extract) are found in most anti-aging serums. Hyaluronic acid is a very effective moisturizer and the peptides are supposed to absorb through the skin and stimulate the regeneration of collagen and elastin. On their website they say, “Six peptides significantly modulate muscle contraction, thus destabilizing the cell so that it cannot release the neurotransmitters that make muscles contract, thus preventing formation of lines and wrinkles and improving the look of deep lines and wrinkles.” That sounds very scientific and official, but what does it really mean? If you can’t contract your muscles then yes, it will inhibit (not prevent) lines and wrinkles from forming. But will it do anything for skin that is already replete with lines and wrinkles? The answer is no. Just because you inhibit muscles from contracting doesn’t mean you will necessarily see a decrease in wrinkles. You have to also take into account loose skin, less elastin and collagen, and damage done to skin by the sun or smoking or what have you.

Lift SP Customer Reviews:

“This product offers you a free trial for only the cost of shipping but the truth is that they enter you into their membership club and send you the product every month charging your credit card the full amount. You must call to have the membership cancelled and ask for a refund. Doesn’t sound like any ‘free trial’ I’ve ever heard of! ‘Free trial’ means TRY it before you buy it! Shame on you Lift SP!” – Anonymous

“I ordered this product and I love it. It did say I would be charged in their terms and conditions, and that you would need to call in order to cancel. They have great customer service and offer 100% satisfaction when it comes to refunds on returned products. All you have to do is call.” – Anonymous

Is Lift SP Worth Trying?

They offer a free trial of Lift SP, but when you sign up for the free trial you actually join a monthly membership and they automatically bill you on a monthly basis. It costs $79.95 per month to be a member and receive Lift SP on a regular basis. It does not come with a guarantee contrary to what their website says. If you read in the terms and conditions you will see that they only offer refunds on unopened products. Lift SP does what many companies do with their free trial offers. You sign up for it and if you neglect to cancel your membership they make you pay for it. Any time you see the words free trial you should read the fine print. Lift SP has some good ingredients and it may help you deal with wrinkles, but it is not among the elite youth serums in the market.

Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5 was “Inspired by cutting-edge laser therapy, High Résolution Serums contain our revolutionary Collaser-5X™ complex to target the 5 key types of collagen that make up 80% of collagen in the skin. The synthesis of healthy new collagen begins in just 48 hours. Wrinkles appear pushed up and out. Skin’s youthful suppleness and bounce return.” These results are based on in vitro tests (meaning they were found in a synthetic environment like a test tube or petri dish rather than in living organisms). It is definitely more persuasive to have clinical trials based on human test subjects rather than a test tube, but at least they have some research to back up their claims. They also obtained results from consumer reports showing that 64% of users experienced a visible reduction in wrinkles after 3 weeks of use. That statistic is far from being an overwhelming endorsement of Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5, but it doesn’t hurt either.

Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5 Ingredients:

There is not a complete list of ingredients available for Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5. We know it does have some coenzymes, vitamin C, and peptides but without a comprehensive list we can’t really analyze the efficacy of Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5.

Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5 Customer Reviews:

“The only reason I didn’t give it all 5 stars is because of it’s high price. I have tried to get away from using this, but always come back to it. It’s truly the only undereye product where I’ve been able to see a difference in puffiness and dark circles. Don’t expect these things to disappear—but it does look better!” – Anonymous

“This product is supposed to be like a laser in a bottle – “Collaser” – but is far from it. There’s a lot of made up words here for ingredients meant to impress like coenzyme-R, vitaminCg, and Pro-Xylane. Nothing proven and nowhere near to receiving laser treatments for your skin. It would be better to buy prod…ucts with proven ingredients…” – Anonymous

“I’ve used a lot of serums – many more expensive than this one – and I always come back. I use it morning and night. It compliments my moisturizer and really helps even out my skin tone. I particularly like the texture. It is silky and absorbs quickly.” – Lisa

Overall Value:

A 1 fluid ounce bottle of Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5 costs $70 and a 1.7 fluid ounce bottle costs $95. In order to return it you need to fill out the return information at the bottom of the invoice from Lancome. They do not specify whether or not you can use any of the product or if it needs to be returned unopened; so it is likely the latter. Based on most customer reviews, Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5 seems like a quality product. However, without any real information regarding ingredients and no money back guarantee we can’t give Lancome High Resolution Collaser-X5 a ringing endorsement. We don’t see any evidence that suggests it is like a laser treatment in a bottle.
