It is not an eye cream. It is a glycolic that will help with acne. You are way too young for Reluma, Glo or A&G - they are for wrinkle repair.

I e-mailed Idli for Image Skincare, and some other products you recommended, but the prices were much higher than what's listed in the reviews. This is what Edina wrote me back, " Hi Michelle, Thank you for your interest. The Dermophisiologique Optyma is an eye-cream ($87) (I thought this was listed under the most updated "5 best MOISTURIZERS" list?) The Bio Peptide moisturizer is $82 and to recommend any moisturizer Ildi needs to know your skin type. The Image Ageless Total Anti- Aging is a Serum to help reduce fine lines($71). The company just came out with a newer version of this called Ageless the MAX($98) Please let me now which one you need and I will ship it to you. Best Regards, Edina" I thought Image was an eye cream, or a brightener. Perhaps she's referring to fine lines around the eyes? I'm confused about what it is, or what it's good for now. If it's going to cost nearly $100 for Image, then shouldn't I just spend the extra $20 and get REluma or Glo Therapeutics or even A&G? I'm looking for a good eye cream, as well as a good serum. Then again, I've been breaking out for some reason lately, and it's not going away! I don't think I've ever had acne problems this badly or for this long before. I'm not sure what's wrong or how to remedy it. Clean & Clear facial wash usually works for me, but it's not working this time around. I'm scared. So maybe I should just spend the $90 and get Image since everyone seems to say it helps w/ acne? If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! Hi Marta,

It's a full range of brightening and lightening products. The C-12 Concentrate and Extreme C products are particularly good. Has anyone tried Dermalogica’s new ChromaWhite system?

I will try the Image product once my skin calms down. Justine--I have the same issue as you and find if I limit the quantity of product I put on my eye area the milia go away. I have been using YBF around my eyes and only put on 1/2 pump for both eyes. Just a suggestion since you like the product so much. :) Thanks Marta!

I think it's the most undervalued YBF product because it's so versatile; one product can do face, neck, and eyes with beautiful results and it takes so little product to do it! :) Marta, I can’t wait to hear how Restore fares for you!

The early signs are good and it may well make it into the updated Five Best Brighteners. In any event, I'll be posting a review of Restore in a few weeks. Sandra

It's a gel and all that glycolic acid will help a lot on the anti-zit front. Justine, I've had milia with some eye creams but never YBF. However, I am amazed to hear the rate at which people seem to go through stuff. So I am beginning to think that, in general, people slather too much cream on. Most products last me for months (like 5 or 6). A smear of something (with powerful ingredients) should suffice. Dana,

I am prone to milia and something I have been using of late seems to be causing me to break out. I actually think it might be the YBF products. I love them, but they are really rich for my skin, so I think I will have to use more sparingly. It's a shame because I do agree with Sandra that they are wonderful. Hi, Marta,
