Elite Serum

 

 

Updated January of 2010….Elite Serum improves packaging, ingredient concentrations after successful 2009 campaign. 

A rather popular eye cream in 2009, Elite Serum contains marquee ingredients like Argireline, Haloxyl and Hyaluronic Acid. Our testing group was very excited to try this product, as it promised to reduce wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. This is not the first time we have heard these claims, but Elite Serum is the first product that provided the scientific data for each of it’s cosmeceutical ingredients upon request. 

 

Argireline has been clinically proven to permanently reduce wrinkle depth and lines around the eyes by up to 50% within 30 days of application. Haloxyl is a high-powered ingredient made by Sederma that has been therapeutically shown to effectively eliminate dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.

 

These ingredients are very expensive, so finding the combination is very rare as most manufactures go a cheaper route. The addition of anti-oxidants like Resveratrol and Acai Berry is a very new and unique addition to eye creams. We suspect that other manufacturers will be playing ‘catch up’ with Elite Serum for the next while.

 

Our testers appreciated the fact that everything from the product packaging to the viscosity of the serum was first class. Elite Serum is composed of only FDA-approved ingredients and is manufactured in a ISO 9002 Certified facility in the USA.  Since launching in early 2009, EliteSkin, the makers of the Elite Serum, have grown into one of the most acclaimed new skin care companies.

Here is a new eye cream review for an advertiser that just came on board with EyeCream.com in 2010…..

Dark Circle Serum by Wrinkle System

Wrinkle System’s Dark Circle Serum got a big media push when it was revealed that Denver area makeup artist Danica Jardien uses it to get rid of dark circles under her eyes.  You can see the full Dark Circle Serum review by clicking on the link.  There is even a 6 minute YouTube video posted by Danica where she shows exactly how she conceals dark circles.  It’s quite informational and in the video clip, Danica talks about how she tried many eye serums without success, but that in just two short weeks, the Dark Circle Serum by Wrinkle System worked well. 

So why is this such a big endorsement for Wrinkle System?  

Turns out, Danica Jardien is someone special.  In fact, she’s a makeup artist to the stars, working with the likes of Tyra Banks, Barack Obama, Big Boi from the hip-hop group Outkast, and even the Denver Nugget’s superstar Carmelo Anthony.  Seems that if her services are good enough for supermodels and the PRESIDENT of the United States, that she probably knows what she is talking about. 

Here is the low-down on the Dark Circle Serum, including some pro’s and con’s:

Reduces Wrinkles	NO
Reduces Dark Circles	YES
Reduces Puffiness	YES
Contains Antioxidants	YES
Manufactured according to FDA guidelines	YES
Overall Rating	A
Website	www.WrinkleSystem.com

One thing that impressed us was the fact that the claims the Dark Circle Serum make are backed up by clinical tests.  In fact, in laboratory tests, the Dark Circle Serum showed a reduction in dark circles of 35% in a 30 day period.  To top that off, it showed a reduction of puffiness that forms around the eyes by 41%.   Wow.  While this is NOT an anti-wrinkle serum, this is by far the best treatment we’ve found to get rid of dark circles, and it should be a staple in your skin care regimen if you suffer from them.

 

Clinique Repairwear

Summer of 2009
Clinique Repairwear is a cheaper eye cream, designed for daily use. Its primary function is as a cosmetic aid, as it works well to ‘hold’ make-up around the eye area. It does not contain any marquee ingredients, and offers no skin rejuvenation benefits. Our testing has found that it does not reduce wrinkles or aid at all in preventing dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. In fact, even at a relatively low price point of around $50, it is overpriced for what it actually does.  Although Clinique is obviously a gigantic company, this eye cream was far from intensive in our testing.

LifeCell Cream

March 12, 2009

While not technically an eye cream, we have received a number of reader inquiries about Lifecell so we decided to review it. Lifecell, manufactured in China, is perhaps the most aggressively marketed ‘miracle’ face cream on the internet. Don’t be confused thinking that this is some super-premium product because it is priced at nearly $200. In fact, after we investigated the cost of the ingredients, which contain nothing that we consider ‘marquee’, it is our opinion that it should be sold in the lower-end range of similar products priced less than $50. The reason it is so expensive is because it is promoted mainly by affiliates with phoney review websites who are paid huge $100 commissions for every sale. While it did somewhat meet all the criteria of our efficacy tests, that is it reduced wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes, the results were sub-par in comparison to other far less expensive products. As a full face cream, it lacks the specific ingredients that directly target problems the eye area, like Haloxyl.

DDF Eye Erase Gel

January 21, 2009

DDF Eye Erase Gel stands for Doctor’s Dermatologist Formula. It is said that the formula is medically inspired. DDF is manufactured and distributed by Proctor and Gamble. As such, the packaging was top notch and all of the ingredients were listed and explained. With that said, DDF contains seven bio-active ingredients. It works well to to treat dark circles under the eyes and somewhat reduces puffiness, although the results lagged other products. However, there was no noticable wrinkle reduction among our subject. The product does not claim to reduce wrinkles or ‘crows eyes’, so this is not an issue. At under $50 we believe that it represents fair value for somebody only looking to reduce dark circles around the eyes, as it does nothing else significant. DDF can be applied with or without makeup, twice a day.

DDF Bio Molecular Firming Serum

January 15, 2009

DDF’s ‘premium’ brand eye cream is called DDF Bio Molecular Firming Serum and it sells for around $100. It is heavily advertised in mainstream print media and is marketed as a 3-in-1 moisturizer, toner and firmer. The manufacturer says that it is designed to reduce dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. Like the Eye Erase Gel, it performs these functions, however it did nothing for our testers in the way of wrinkle reduction. DDF customers are better off with the Eye Erase Gel, as it is essentially the exact same product but for half the price. We could not distinguish any noticable difference in the quality of the formula. Both performed about equally. The product packaging does mention the addition of peptides, which are imperative for any premium wrinkle cream. However, we were unable to find any specific information about what peptides they are referring to.

Coming soon, a full eye cream review for the Dark Circle Serum by Wrinkle System.  We’ve already added some clips of where this hot product (and current advertiser) has been featured.  We’ll be back with out own review of the Dark Circle Serum in just a few short months.  Stay tuned!
