I am 49 years old and have used Jurlique products for the past 15 years. Although I love the products they have not helped me with troubled areas. Recently I had success with the Obagi Nu-Derm system to lighten dark aging spots. I am now looking for the best products to help reduce puffiness and dark lines under my eyes. I am also interested in an effective product to help reduce lines on my forehead and wrinkle lines around my mouth.
Suggestions are appreciated!

Hello! DMAE serum can help with the forehead/lip & mouth lines. Must be at least a 3% concentration to be effective. High quality and recommended brands on this board for the DMAE are candessence.com and skincarecentral.biz. I am currently just loving the one from skincare central. Especially around eyes. I'm 46. If you do a board search for the DMAE you will get a ton of info to help you decide.  |

I second DMAE as a good treatment for puffiness and wrinkles around the eyes. My husband is using it, and believe me, there is no way he would continue unless we were seeing results with it.
The other product that I have heard good reviews on is the Phytolift Cranberry Eye Gel. I think Scalawaggirl and others have had good success with this.

| I've had best results with Professional solutions DCX (dark circle X). This is the same formula as the Eyebright serum above. |

| You might want to check: I think the Phytolift Cranberry is helping them with sagging over the eye (brow), not under. You should also check out the review for Purity's Coffee Bean eye cream. It seems to have helped some people. I have ordered it but haven't received it yet, so I can't vouch for it. |

I use Professional solutions DCX (dark circle X), let it dry, then follow it with PSF Phytolift Cranberry, let it dry, then the rest of the program (Super CP, DMAE, let it dry; then Emu Oil + Red Tea Serum, sunscreen, makeup).
Takes way too much time, especially in the morning getting ready for work, but I tried to skip either DCX or Phytolift Cranberry, and I can see the difference right away.
I am still looking for something effective and easier, but .... Ordered the coffee cream, but it had not yet arrived.
Also, my eyes are extremely sensitive, so I am not sure it would work for me.
HTH,
Lucy. |

| Right now I'm actually liking my SkinCubed - nothing has helped my hereditary puffiness before and this seems to be helping - I notice it when I look in the mirror. It's not a miracle but it is helping little by little, not sure about the long-term effects but using this for a week has helped more than using Cellcosmet for 3 months. |

| The only success I have had with puffy eyes is Juvena Juvedical and Valmont L Elixir Eye Cream. I prefer the Valmont because it also firmed and greatly reduced the lines. |

I tried JUvena - did nothing for me, Eye Bright does help, and in the morning I have big bags, not just mild puffiness. Followed by Cranberry Lift - and it is mostly gone, both the darkness and the bags.

I'm THRILLED with the Skincubed Eye Repair Formula - not only is the puffiness significantly reduced - but the skin around my eyes feels extraordinarily soft. The early results I'm getting are just outstanding! The decongestion around my eye area is really quite remarkable - and my skin doesn't feel crepey at all...I'm really amazed!!!

| Eliminate salt from your diet and sleep with your head slightly elevated,sleep on your back,not stomach.ice packs on your eyes for a few minutes in the morning may help. |

I'm finding the same thing! I was going to wait the allotted 1 month and then decide on this cream, but I really do have the same initial raves! This is the best puffy eyes cream I think I've ever used! The products that I have been using are very good, Juvena Juvedical serum-Remergent Microcirculation-Valmont eye and mouth-and PSF Cranberry lift, but NONE of these are doing what the SkinCubed is! I LOVE this cream, and I'm so glad I got in on the offer to test it. This might just be my HG!  |

Right now I am doing the Juvena eye serum and not getting the results I want for puffiness/bags under the eyes.
I am just now starting Facercise, so we'll see how that helps! I also want to try the 100% Purity eye cream sometime in the near future. I don't have $150 to spend on eye cream right now...

I was using Avene Ystheal eye gel-cream but now just use the Avene Ystheal cream.
I noticed a tightening of my undereye area as well as decrease in dark circles. |

Question for Avene users:
what are the active ingredients in the gel-cream versus the cream?
Also, Can you use this with DMAE?
thanks!
