For three weeks I have been testing an eye cream from a new line called SenZen. Normally, I prefer to try something for at least month before writing a review. But I have two reasons for jumping the gun. First the very practical reason that SenZen sent me a small sample of Double Dose Eye Cream ($84) and it has just run out. Secondly, I have to confess that I was loving it after only 10 days.
Double Dose Eye Cream is a rich eye cream that belies its spa origins (behind SenZen is the San Francisco-based Sen Spa) by its dense texture: this eye cream was meant to be massaged by the knowing finger tips of an esthetician. I feared that it would be too much for my delicate eye area and donate some milia. But no, Double Dose has proven to be as gentle as it is effective. My eye area looks incredibly hydrated with no crepiness and a definite smoothing of lines. My eye area looks younger. After my beloved Your Best Correct, this could easily become a favorite anti-wrinkle eye cream. Read more...

In mid-May, I received a bottle of Skin Perfection Eye Bright ($18.95) and Nutra-Lift Wrinkle Repair Ultra ($39) to take for a test drive and I arrived at the finish line with mixed results.
Skin Perfection is a brand that I’ve wanted to love since first reading about it on TIA. It’s a reasonably-priced, anti-aging, organic product line that doesn’t contain harsh chemicals or parabens. The truth is, however, I hadn’t yet found a reason to love it. I bought a number of their products including the Glycolic Cleanser, Clear Skin Hydrator and Moisturizing Mask and my skin did not react well to any of them. I hoped the Eye Bright would be different. Read more...

The L’Oreal Collagen Micro-Pulse Eye reeks of the same concept as another product that failed to impress us, the Clarisonic Opal. However, given that it is a much less expensive version (and optimistically speaking, could possibly give more bang for less of your buck), it only seems fair to judge it on it’s own accord.
The Collagen Micro-Pulse Eye is supposed to pulse away puffiness, wrinkles and dark circles with it’s Collagen and Erasyl Eye Cream, while stimulating circulation and unclogging blood vessels with its micro-pulse massager.
Based on ingredients alone, there are a few red flags. Mineral oil is a potential irritant, and high up on the list. Lithium magnesium sodium silicate could be irritating to the eye area and triethanolamine could cause allergic reactions including eye problems. Read more...

I’ve recently discovered a new brand that I’m pretty excited about. It’s called SPONGE, and it’s an all-natural product line that’s free of parabens, sulfate, propylene glycol, petrochemicals, artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances. Each of their products are hand-blended with organic and wild-crafted herbs, and the packaging is quite slick. One of the highlights of the brand is their Krema Mattia Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream.
SPONGE hails from Greece, which is a much sought-after location for growing sustainable ingredients. The arid climate promotes unique water retention properties in the plants. Expect high levels of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals in the products; you can be ensured Krema Mattia Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream will work to the max. Read more...

Thanks to Truth in Aging, I have had the wonderful chance to review two Avon products: Avon Anew Reversalist Day Renewal Cream and the Reversalist Illuminating Eye System. Although it has taken me quite a while to get through the two entire jars (sorry for taking so long!), I wanted to make sure I gave the products enough time to do what they say they can.
