| I just bought this product and find that it doesn't absorb, sticky and runs into my eyes. Am I putting too much on or what? Thought this would be a good product. |

| I have tried this product and found it rather thick and would not absorb. I ended up using it on my neck. |

Try using an amount less than the size of a pea and apply it using light tapping motions until it absorbs. If you had some PSF 02 stuff, using a bit before and/or after may help it to absorb better too.
If that doesn't help, maybe email EDS or JM and ask for suggestions? |

| I too have tried this product with no success and have e-mailed Jan Marini many times and never received a reply. |

| I shouldn't be suprised. I haven't had any luck with Jan Marini products. I had purchased some from my Derms recommendation before and found them useless. |

I'm disappointed to hear this. Just last night I read about an ingredient called
"aminoguanidine" that's supposed to be the end all be all. The only non-prescription cream I could find that had this ingredient was JM's age intervention eye cream. I guess I'll take this off my wish list now. |

Oh, bummer! I am so sorry it's not working out with it. I did read suggested protocols that suggested using one of her other products underneath it... I'll post the info and the link on the off-chance that it is helpful to someone:
Recommended Protocols:
For fine dry lines — AM and PM, Jan Marini Bioglycolic Eye Contour Cream underneath Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream.
For deep wrinkles and crow's feet — AM and PM, Jan Marini C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate underneath Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream.
For firming — as above per deep wrinkles/crow's feet.
For anti-aging — alternate fine dry lines and deep wrinkles/crow's feet protocols as above.
For eye contour millia — AM Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream, PM Jan Marini Bioglycolic Eye Contour Cream underneath Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream.
For dark circles — AM Jan Marini C-ESTA Eye Contour Cream underneath Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream, PM Jan Marini Factor A Eyes underneath Jan Marini
Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream — for Intermittent Use Only
Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream should not be used without break. Use for up to 6 weeks at a time, or slightly more if tolerated.
The retinol content of Age Intervention Eye Cream is proving too high for delicate eyelid skin when used for months on end. Do not use for too short periods either, as this won't bring lasting improvement.
When not using Age Intervention Eye Cream, use Jan Marini Bioglycolic Eye Contour Cream instead, as this is the only other Jan Marini skin care product suitable for use on the eyelids. Alternatively, switch to Gernetic Myo/Myoso at times when you're not using Age Intervention Eye Cream, which is also firming and suitable for toning crepey eyelids.
A large number of Jan Marini products should not be used on an ongoing basis without experienced physician support to avoid all possibility of long-term negative or only fleeting positive results. Improper or haphazard use of Jan Marini products shouldn't be expected to yield any more than a different temporary cosmetic outcome when compared with mass market skin care. For lasting and material difference, correct and precise use is necessary.
Determining/Implementing Maximal Use of Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Contour Cream
| Question wrote: |
I was advised by phone to use Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Contour Cream for 4-5 days and the Jan Marini C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate on the others. In this way I could keep on using Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream without a break. But I understand you cannot use Jan Marini C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate on the eye lids... Just what is the correct procedure?
I really require a cream I can use under the eyes for every day use so is the C-ESTA good for this or too harsh to use on an every day basis? Can I also use Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream under the eye? I see by your advise to only use for 6 weeks or so and then have a break. How long a break is advisable? |
Jan Marini C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate may be used everyday, up to twice a day (morning and evening), without break or concern — it is an antioxidant product suitable for ongoing use. Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream can be applied over C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate under the eyes, however C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate shouldn't be used on the eyelids.
It is fine for C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate to come into incidental contact with the eyelids, however it shouldn't be specifically applied to this area.
Undesirable side effects of drying and flaking from Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream usually develop on the eyelids before under the eye area, so potentially you could titrate its use separately between the eyelids and under-eye area (ie. use for longer periods under the eye than you do for your eyelids).
Normally you cannot use Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream non-stop, however it is likely that the time to develop undesirable side effects under the eye area is extended beyond approximately 6 weeks when it is applied over C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate, rather than alone, because absorption of Age Intervention Eye Cream's active ingredients is lessened or slowed when applied in a layered manner.
To determine your maximum use of Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream, use it non-stop up to the point of side effects — noting the time it took to reach that stage — then discontinue, replacing with either:
Gernétic Myo/Myoso or
Jan Marini Bioglycolic Eye Cream
until side effects subside, if you wish to have some form of comparable non-stop treatment of your eyelids. Finding the individual, maximum use of the retinol/peptides found in Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream is preferred over always remaining shy of side effects.

So I emailed the address (info@jmsrcanada.com) on the Canadian JM website for assistance and they emailed me right back. Here is their suggestion:
I know that some of the face creams do take some time to penetrate (ultimately what you want). The proper instructions with eye creams is to warm it first, just with your fingers, approx 5 seconds or so.
Hopefully it works for someone!!  |

OK I tried this last night. Rubbed the product between fingers and patted on upper eyelids and under eyes, still too sticky to use during the day but I will use only at night time for 6 weeks (as recommended). I awoke this morning with natural colour eyelids (no red, no puffiness) we will see what happens in 6 weeks. |

I bought this eye cream for myself and my mother to share (she's in her 50s) and have been using it for about a month and half. My mom says she feels her eye area much less puffier looking and more toned.
I also really love this eye cream (i use it at night only since i use Osea's in the morning) and i feel like it smoothed out some very fine fine lines beginning to form. i also think the ingredient list is very nice. i don't feel like it's sticky or anything but i always apply it to freshly wet/toned eyelids.
i think it is expensive but it will last quite awhile. |
