E’shee Alpha Omega Gene Therapy Eye Cream Review
Pros
Dramatically improves skin texture around the eyesCons
Contains preservatives and a pH adjusterOur Take
An excellent eye cream that delivers some of the best results I've seen
Our Rating:
I had already decided that E’shee Alpha Omega Gene Therapy Eye Cream ($284 in the shop) was the best eye cream I have ever used and then I checked on the price. I often deliberately avoid knowing the price when I start testing a free sample so that I form an unadulterated impression of the product. E’shee’s new eye cream is $284 for 0.5oz and so I had to pause and ask myself a couple of tough questions: is it worth it and would I buy a replacement at full price with my own money?
The answer is yes. Of the claims that E’shee makes for Alpha Omega Gene Therapy Eye Cream, two promises stood out to me: stronger dermal structures in about 28 days and dramatically improved skin texture. Now five weeks in to using this eye cream twice a day, E’shee has really delivered. The skin of my eye lids and under-eye area feels firmer, flatter and smoother. I don’t typically have much of a puffy eye issue and now I don’t have one at all.
My only caveat is that my eyes are in fairly good condition after years of using Your Best Face Correct ($150 in the shop) and AQ Eye Serum ($99 in the shop). E’shee has taken them on to another level though. And, in order to give E’shee more of a challenge, I have started to use it for my lip lines (E’shee actually recommends Alpha Omega Gene Therapy Eye Cream for the upper lip as well as the eyes). Two weeks into this experiment, I am beginning to see some improvement on my hated lip lines (I’ll report back on this in a few weeks).
The big gun in E’shee Alpha Omega Gene Therapy Eye Cream is trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2. This is a new peptide to me and so I was pretty excited to discover it. Known as TT2, this peptide can reduce “sagging and slacking”, as well as improve firmness and elasticity, according to a study conducted for Lucas Meyer Cosmetics. Apparently it not only fights the effects of aging, but actually “regulates the biological mechanisms involved in the aging process”. TT2 works by inhibiting elastase (an enzyme that attacks structural proteins) and reducing progerin (a protein responsible for cell death) production.
TT2’s effects are given a boost by some hydrolyzed elastin and collagen. Meanwhile, the other heavy hitters in the formula include E’shee’s signature epidermal growth factor, FGF1, and Far Infrared Ceramic Powder, which is the magic ingredient in E’shee’s KI serum. Also of interest is hibiscus esculentus, which is okra to you and me and high in unsaturated fats, AHAs and galacturonic acid (a big deal in the composition of cell walls).
As always, E’shee formulates for effectiveness and not for purists. There are the several preservatives and a pH adjuster that can be irritants including disodium EDTA, sodium hydroxide and phenoxyethanol. I had no adverse reactions to using this cream.
Given that price per milliliter for E’shee Alpha Omega Gene Therapy Eye Cream is the same as for my beloved E’shee KI and I have bought four bottles of that, I can say that I will be buying my next bottle of this truly excellent eye cream.

5 stars 4 out of 5
by Jennifer Bowen
i do love this product. It goes on easily, my skin drinks up and absorbs the product easily. The texture is perfect - especially because in the eye area anything too thick can result in "pulling" the skin upon application. It brightens, plumps up and nourishes the eye area perfectly…...And, as Marta originally wrote in her reviews, I have also been using high level eye creams (YBF Correct as well) for a long time. My only stop from giving this 5 stars is the price. I can't say I have had a packaging issue with the amount that comes out or any other similar issue, but it is just a phenomenal price tag for an eye cream in an only 0.5 fl oz. bottle.

5 stars 3 out of 5

It is a 5 stars cream. Bags and sags are no match for it. BUT, all the packaging silver flakes off in tiny specks. Please put this great cream in simple flake-free packaging and I will re-order forever.

First of all I really love this product and found it very effective. I did try it on my lip lines but didn't find it as effective as on my eyes. However, I must agree with Leslie that the delivery mechanism is awful and the silver on the top of my bottle is also flaking. I was eventually able to control the amount of product coming-out by lightly/gingerly pressing down but after using this method this 4 or 5 times nothing would come out. So I would continue pressing down 15-20 times and finally product would come out again. It seems like a lot of work for such an expensive product. For $134 less YBF Correct, which is another fabulous product, is what I will order next.

Usually, when I write a review, it's to let others know that I love a product and why. I realize that not every product will work for every person..
Unfortunately, this product was a huge waste of my money. I've been using it twice daily on my 58 year old eyes (actually, skin around my eyes) and haven't seen a change. I do have some crows feet, but they are not deep.
On the positive side, this eye cream does not bother my uber sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly and you only need the smallest bit to cover both eyes well. However, herein lies the rub.
The delivery mechanism in the packaging could not be worse. There is NO WAY to control the amount of product being squirted out of the bottle. For weeks, this meant large, uncontrollable amounts being delivered. So I used it on my neck and chest, but not what I purchased this product for. Now, the silver top of the bottle is de laminating, resulting in silver flakes in the product. Great if you are going to Mardi Gras, but not to work.
So eight weeks later I am almost out of product, most being wasted. At this price point I cannot recommend this product. Eshee needs to sort out their packaging. So for me, this is one star and a never again purchase recommendation.
