Target Area(s): Crows feet and wrinkles – use as a day and night cream
Price: $35.00
How hard is it really to “start over”? Ironically, Origin's eye cream product Starting Over Age-Erasing does that. Apply it tonight and tomorrow you start over with a new set of wrinkles.
The product promotes itself as an effective eye cream that reduces wrinkles and fine lines. It is a clinically tested formula that also helps in rebuilding the natural collagen of your skin making it the best alternative to injectible procedures. The claims are supported by a scientific study that resulted to 9 out of 10 test subjects demonstrating favorable improvements on their skin that happened over time.
Most effective for:
- Moderately priced
- Effective at reducing lines and wrinkles around the eyes
- Can be applied under make-up
- Non-greasy
- Plumps and hydrates skin around the eyes
Other factors to consider:
- onsumers prefer the product comes in a tube
- Does not work for everybody
- No FDA approval
- Takes time to show results
- Causes irritation and allergies
Description: Origins Starting Over Age-Erasing Eye Cream cannot guarantee that the results will be the same for all its users. Some of the users complained that after several months of use it did not change the appearance of their wrinkles. One observed that the next day after application, the skin around her eyes felt dryer and she even developed a new set of wrinkles. Another user swears not to buy this again because she experienced irritation around the eyes after use.
So, is it really worth starting over with this product? The only way for you to find out is to try it yourself.
Directions for Use: Apply daily, morning and evening.
Ingredients: Mimosa Tenuiflora (which helps in stimulating skin cells in producing natural collagen), argan leaf ( which protects the skin from the destructive enzymes breaking down the support structure of the skin), green algae ( which provides huge amounts of antioxidants which allows the body to get rid of toxins and free radicals effectively) and horse chestnut extract (helps the skin at attain a smooth texture by the removal of dead skin cells from its surface).
Recommendation: My recommendation is don't buy! The ultimate test of safety is to have the approval of the FDA which this product does not have. Yes, it has its clinical and scientific testings to support its claim but the best judge of it all is its consumers. The product does not even have a disclaimer for its side effects and does not even offer a money back guarantee if it doesn't work for you.
It is very evident thru the consumer testimonials that this product does not work for everyone. This makes “Start Over” a very risky and worthless purchase.
Target Area(s): dark circles and puffiness – used as a day and night cream
Price: $49.42 – $50.00
Just because a product doesn't feature any side effects or any negative feedbacks doesn't mean it's totally safe and effective. Such is a product by Neocutis Lumiere, the Bio Restorative eye cream have stellar reviews but it hides the fact that it lacks the actual proof that it really works.
The product contains 3 main ingredients namely caffeine, sodium hyaluronate and processed skin proteins. The main ingredients are combined with other synthetic materials to produce this supposedly highly effective product. These ingredients are popularly used in eye cream products to effectively remove puffiness, dark circles, retain skin moisture and smoother wrinkles. This eye cream also claims to treat signs of premature aging around the eyes
Most effective for:
- Reduces appearance of puffiness and dark circles around eyes
- Colorant and fragrance free
- Rejuvenates skin making it firmer, softer, healthier and younger looking
- Ultra gentle on delicate areas around the eyes
- Smoothens appearance of wrinkles and fine liness
Other factors to consider:
- Expensive
- Does not work for everybody
- No FDA approval and no clinical testing
- Takes time to show results
Description: The products 3 main ingredients although common are quite controversial. Caffeine may have its potent powers as an anti-aging factor, but it does cause some allergies in some users. Human Growth Factor on the other hand, is said to be a by product of aborted male fetuses, which created a debate between one user and the manufacturer, the latter refuting the fact that they directly used the ingredient. For some users, this product simply did not work.
Directions for Use: Apply daily, morning and evening. Spread a small amount of cream (about the size of a pea) on the fingertips and gently massage into the delicate eye area using small circular movements.
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), C12-20 Acid Peg-8 Ester, Glycerin, Peg-8, Acetylene Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Bisabolol, Caffeine, Disodium EDTA, Phospholipids, Processed Skin Proteins (PSP), Sodium Hyaluronate,Ethylparaben, Citric Acid, Isobutylparaben, (Fagus Sylvatica Extract) Beech Tree Bud Extract , Tocotrienols, Squalene, Phytosterols, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Saccharide Isomerate, Caprylyl Glycol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate,Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Methylparaben,Butylparaben,Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Sodium Polyacrylate, Propylparaben,Tocopherol, Elaeis Guineensis(Palm oil),Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid.
Recommendation: This product is a highly expensive and glamorized moisturizer in my opinion. It is risky on your pocket and to use on your skin. For the same price you can buy another product, or several of it, that is proven safe and effective by the FDA. It does not offer any money back guarantees if you are dissatisfied with it. For this, I do not recommend that you buy this product unless of course you are willing to be a guinea pig in your own science experiment.
Caution must be taken when trying out this product. It does not contain the FDA stamp of approval and it does not forewarn its users for its adverse effects.
Target Area(s): Wrinkles – used as a day and night cream
Price: $47.99 – $48.00
I will not buy this if I were you. It's mighty expensive at $48.00 for only a 1 fluid oz jar of eye cream that does not offer any guarantees or lasting results.
Most effective for:
- Promotes the renewal of skin cells
- Smoothens out wrinkles
- Replenishing oil and moisturizes skin around eyes
- Strengthens the skin's resistance to aging
- Calms and soothes the eyes
Other factors to consider:
- Expensive at $48.00
- Does not work for everybody
- No FDA approval and no clinical testing
- Takes time to show results
- For some, it has no long term results
Description: The Borlind Regeneration Eye Wrinkle Cream made by Anne Marie claims to be an effective beauty product that is perfect for toning the eye area. It is an effective moisturizer that is clinically tested by dermatologists resulting in the reduction of wrinkle depth of up to around 70% in just 2 weeks. It is also perfect for use for ladies who are over 30 years of age if they want to moisturize poor and dry skin around the eyes. The product promises to rejuvenate the area around eyes, promote the renewal of skin cells to give your eyes stronger resistance to aging, a less tired and younger appearance.
However, this product does not deliver what it actually promises. One of the users attest it took them at least 3 months of use with very minimal reduction of their wrinkles around the eyes. Some experienced irritation and some did not see any results at all. One user even claimed she developed more wrinkles after using this product and had to go back to using her old eye cream. Another user claims that initially the product was effective at giving the skin around her eyes a cooler and smoother appearance, it only lasted for a few hours and she experienced dryness and more wrinkles.
Much as there are some consumers who attest this works for them effectively, you cannot remove the fact that this product does not work for everyone. This could be a very costly and useless product to try if you are aiming to gain sure and instant results.
Directions for Use: Apply daily, morning and evening. Spread a small amount of cream (about the size of a pea) on the fingertips and gently massage into the delicate eye area using small circular movements.
Ingredients: According to the website, the product contains active ingredients like Bio-Complex, Chamomile, Rose Water, Shea Butter, Witch Hazel, Calendula, Coneflower, Sage, Sesame Oil, St. John's Wort Oil.
Recommendation: Use your common sense and don't buy this product! There are other more effective and cost efficient eye creams out there that are sure to give you true and lasting results without the nasty side effects. It does not even have FDA approval to prove that it is totally safe for use.
At $49.99 you can definitely find a product that you can apply just once a day and do wonders for your skin and eyes. At this price and with this product, you will end up being more stressed and wrinkled when you do not get the results that you expect.You can check out the best products we have reviewed like Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream, one that is sure to work for wrinkles.
Target Area(s): Wrinkles, fine lines and baggy eyes – used as a night cream
Price: $42.00
If you are looking for an anti-Aging product that won't damage your eyes as well as your wallet, then this product is not for you! The price of Peter Thomas Roth Mega Rich Intense Cell Eye Cream can easily burn a deep hole in your pocket and can even cause a burning sensation in your eyes.
Most effective for:
- Great eye moisturizer
- Ideal for aging skin and all skin types
- Non greasy and lightweight
- Removes eye bags, wrinkles and fine lines around eyes
- Hydrating around the eyes
Other factors to consider:
- Does not work for everyone
- Can irritate and sting the eyes
- No money back guarantee
Description: Judging from the numerous reviews from certified users, it gives a lot of promises like removing the classic signs of aging but the product does not offer the promise that there won't be any side effects. Among these promises is the reduction of deep fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It claims to be a powerful moisturizer that hydrates and firms up the skin around the eyes giving you a youthful glow. For some, the product gave a boost in their appearance, while others were reduced to tears because there were no changes at all, their wrinkles got worse and literally their eyes stung making them cry.
I would cry too if I didn't get my money's worth on such an expensive eye product. It will take two applications a day for several weeks before any definite results can be seen when you use this eye cream. Until then, try holding back your tears as you use this!
Directions for Use: Apply twice daily to face and neck. If desired use in the P.M. as a night cream
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Propylene Glycol Stearate,Cetyl Alcohol, Viola Tricolor Extract, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Ceramide 3, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Wheat Amino Acids, Collagen, Elastin, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate, Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5), Allantoin, Soluble Collagen, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Squalane, Dimethicone, Oleic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Maleic Acid, Lactic Acid, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Propylene Glycol, Quaternium-15, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Seed Extract.
Recommendation: I would not recommend this product. Aside from it being expensive, it does not fully guarantee that you will get the results that you deserve. That makes it very risky to even experiment with. At relatively the same price you can find an eye cream like Hylexin Eye Cream that can offer you more and definitely deliver.

Target Area(s): Dark circles, puffiness and baggy eyes – used as a day and night cream
Price: $14.20 – $15.00
Coffee does not only taste good, it gives you that caffeine kick to jump start your morning but does it really work as an effective ingredient in an eye cream? Lets check out my latest find, the 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Eye Cream and see if it lives up to what people expects it to be.
Most effective for:
- Smells good, no artificial fragrances
- All natural ingredients
- Can be used as a day and night eye cream
- Effective eye moisturizer, removes puffing and swelling around the eyes
- No parabens, chemical preservatives, toxic ingredients
Other factors to consider:
- No FDA approval

- No guarantees
- Takes time to show results
- Product content is not enough to achieve fast results
Description: The product 100% Pure Caffeine Eye Cream claims that it is effective in reducing puffiness and swelling around the eyes while it enhances circulation that will relieve and diminish dark circles. It is highly concentrated cocktail of powerful anti-aging vitamins, black currant oil and anti-oxidants. It also claims to be made of a hundred percent purely organic ingredients eliminating the use of chemicals, parabens, artificial fragrances, toxins and chemical preservatives.
Although caffeine is a common ingredient used in most eye creams and is popular for its anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties, being an all natural and organic product, it does take time to deliver definite results. Coffeeholics will definitely love this product because the scent of the coffee beans are quite overwhelming. Some consumers attest that it is effective in reducing dark circles and baggy eyes. Women even use this as an alternative to their day and night eye cream.
This product however, won't work well for people who have allergies to coffee and with its other ingredients. The cream is of a heavy consistency that comes out like a thin string from its dispenser so you will have to use your fingers to apply it well and deep into the sides of your eyes. For you to fully experience any change in your eyes, you have to use it for at least a month.
Directions for Use: Apply generous layer in orbital eye area. Can be used as a morning or night eye cream.
Ingredients: As indicated in the website, the product contains the following ingredients:White and Green Tea (Organic), Green Coffee (Organic), Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate), Ribes Nigrum or Black Currant Fruit Oil, Chamomilla and Lavender Wax, Vitamin E (A Tocopherol),Pure Vanilla Absolute, and the following organic extracts of:, Rosmarinus Officinalis or Rosemary, Oregano, Thymus Vulgaris or Thyme, Grapefruit Seed, & Goldenseal (Organic).

Recommendation: If your problem is dark circles and puffiness then I would definitely recommend this to you. It can reduce puffy eyes and swelling. Although the product takes time to show results but then its effective in the long run, so what's a little wait for a long time effectiveness right? This will definitely make you look less tired but not less older. You can opt for Jason Naturals Vitamin K Crème Plus or check our other eye cream reviews. Although caffeine works best when ingested than applied, there's no harm in combining the best of both worlds.
