| I'm on my second bottle of PSF Phyto-Lift, and while I agree with other comments about how the lift doesn't last, I still like it. I don't find it that drying and can sometimes wear it alone. Lately, I've been layering the PSF Stimucoll C over it, and I'm happy with the results (or, at least happy with the results that one can get without a surgical face-eye lift!). |

| I've only had it for a short time but I am loving this product. It works well layered underneath a cream or all on its own. It's light and penetrates the skin nicely, there's no wet, sticky feeling and it's easy to layer other products over it. |

Yep, been using this for nearly a month now and love it! The biggest downside is the stupid pump dispenser! Every other day I have to bang the bottom on the countertop when the pump quits working; then it squirts out too much product so I'm probably using more than I need.
While the lifting action may only be temporary, the matrixyl within really has been effective at plumping up and minimizing creases at the corner of my eyes. |

Has everyone tried the full remedy from the PSF site:

PACKAGING TIP:
Our treatment bottles use an airless pump delivery system. They do not have a dip tube inside coming from the pump down into the bottle. They are designed to dispense 99.9% of the product they hold. On occasion, a small air bubble may form in the product during shipping. This may result in the product not dispensing immediately. This does not mean your pump is broken or damaged. If you have difficulty dispensing product on the first few attempts, do not open (unscrew) the bottle. By letting air in you are interfering with the airless delivery and no product will pump out. Put the cap back on and firmly tap the bottom of the bottle on a counter top 5-10 times. Now pump a few times slowly. Repeat the tap and pump process until product dispenses. Pumping too fast may cause air bubbles, so go slow. If after a few tries with no success do not open the bottle. Open a paper clip & place it in the small hole at the bottom of the bottle & push gently while keeping the actuator nozzle depressed with your index finger. This will force the air bubble up & out of the bottle. Then slowly pump a few times. Notice the elevator type action that will push up the product as it is pumped. Your airless pump is now primed & ready to go.

i'm also pretty unhappy with the airless pump  feels like im always smacking the damn thing on the counter and then i always end up with too much product, i end up using it on my neck.
not sure if this is doing much but it does seem to help a bit with puffiness (can probably be attributed to the cucumber extract, tho)... i find i need to layer dermalogica intensive moisture balance over it tho otherwise it's too dry. |

| After I got the instructions for the new pump I am totally fine with it. Just be gentle. No thumping needed really. It comes out in just the right amount to encircle two eyes! |

| I never tried the smacking on the counter trick, I just use a paperclip/hairpin to push the bottom up. I only have to do this when I've left the bottle laying on its side in my makeup bag. If I leave it upright on the counter, I have no probs, and I am now on my second bottle with the new design. |

I tried the remedy on PSF website and was still having problems with having to bang the durn thing on the counter every other day so I finally wrote their CS an email to express my overall satisfaction with the product and disgust with the pump dispenser. Received a response within 24 hours. They're actually going to send me a new one; I wonder if I just got a defective pump? |

My PSF cranberry eye gel arrived yesterday and I used it for the first time today.
I just wondered if people have found this works from the first use - or is it accumulative? (and if so how long roughly to see results).
Thanks so much  |

what age group do you think this gel is catered towards?
i duno why but i feel that my left eye is a lil smaller then my right. I dunno what caused this and why maybe im just being paranoid. But perhaps this could help with that slightly droopy eye. However I am 24 so dunno if im overusing too much mature skin products |

| I really think even young skin would benefit from this. You can order a sample from the PSF site if you just want to try it. |

I've been using this gel for about 3 years now. I must say - I liked the old packaging (green pump) and the old formulation better. I actually have not read anywhere that they changed the formulation, but I know for sure that the "old" gel (2-3 yrs ago, green pump) gave much better lift and it wasn't as nearly as sticky as the new stuff is. However, I still use it and will likely continue to use it.
Good luck to all the new users. |

Rubby, I think you are right that they have changed the formulation. When I ordered last, I thought the contrast was because my remaining product had changed due to age. But, now that you mention it, you may well be right. I know they changed the Green Tea Cleansing Milk, because the ingredients are printed on the label and I could see there had been some alterations. Not in a bad way--just slightly different.
I haven't been using the Cranberry Eye Lift recently--I stopped when I had a bout of eyelid excema and forgot to start up again. So...I think I will go back to it and see if I still think it makes a difference. My eyes have plenty of scope for lift! |
