Will keep you posted  |
WOW, I can hardly wait to see what works and if it does work better than Valmont. |

Well, I'm not looking forward to my credit card bill this month, I can tell you that much... 
I've just been posting reviews of the different brands as I try them. Already did the Mirenesse one and the Kose Absolution. I got a parcel with some more just this morning so another review coming soon and also a review of the SK-II I tried last night |

I am glad Mabsy you are trying other eye masks and I hope you can find one come close to Valmont but at a much lower price point and defintely let us know if you do find one. Valmont is just too expensive for me.
Also, I don't think you should be applying the sheet mask every night or too often. Soak your skin into water too long and too often may eventually weaken the skin barrier. Just my 2 cents. |

Mabsy,
Good that you have tried to re-use it, I used to re-use for 3 times, or until they were dry. |

I'm actually quite interested to see what daily collagen application can do. Many of the masks can be used daily though probably don't get used daily just due to cost/time issues. Nothing so far has been as effective as the Valmont though  |

Mabsy, have you tried the Matricol collagen masks? It is a sheet mask that only requires distilled water for activation. It is not specifically for the eye area but for the whole face as well, but to save money I usually just cut it up for the eyes. Another collagen mask I've used is Thalgo's Masque d'Exception. It is also a sheet mask and comes already soaked in a special solution.
I'm never really sure how effective these collagen sheet masks are, as the only noticable change I see is in hydration. I'd be interested to see what you think of them, and I'm looking forward to reading your reviews on the other eye masks! Thanks! |

Apparently all collagen sheet masks are manufactured by the same company in Germany, Matricol. So they are the source for the Valmont eye masks as well.
On a side note, when using an eye mask, do you just apply it under the eye (covering cheek bone), or do you cover the whole eye socket? Just wondering.. Thanks! |

| I'm curious: how does this work? My understanding is that collagen can't pass through skin, so what exactly is this supposed to do and how? |

I don't think it expires. The collagen sheet is dry so it shouldn't degrade. And an SA once told me the serum, if unopened, "can last 20 years"-- That I don't believe, but I'm sure a couple years is fine |

I personally have not used this mask and would love to, but I'm afraid I will love it like everyone else. I look forward to hearing if you find something that comes close and is friendly on the wallet. |

But this eye mask is really really expensive.
I have fine wrincle under eyes, and dark circles, could this eye mask help me to deal with these problems? |

| Mabsy, is there any update on comparison of Valmont eye regenerating mask to other collagen masks you`ve bought? |

I'm not that much impressed with the mask. It certainly lightens the area and kind of lifts it a little bit, but nothing really astonishing. I used Maria Galland eye mask and Estee Lauder mask, and both , in my opinion, are of similar quality as the Valmont one, only much cheaper.
I also kept it for almost an hour. |

If anyone wants to try this don't apply it right under your eye. I should have read the directions first...or looked at the pic  I had swollen eyes for the whole day. Don't apply it on the whole eye socket. |

I thought it's an EYE mask? Where to you put it?  |

The picture indicates just where your cheek bone starts so UNDER the eye socket. I threw out the diagram but I noticed it after I used it. |

That makes no sense!! How would it fix the skin around the eyes? It's so confusing... Good thing I'm too poor to afford it anyhow! |

| Hoping Mabsy will pop in here, but that's the only think I can think of...it is very wet and the ingredients do go under the eye anyway. Anyway, that's the only explanation I can think of for my puffy eyes...I somehow used it wrong. I normally do not have puffy eyes, quite the opposite. |

Sorry ladies, for some reason I stopped getting emails about replies to this thread :s
fat_swan - thank you for suggesting Matricol. I have not tried this, but I'll google for it shortly
In terms of the mask comparisons, I've had a really hectic few weeks of deadlines at work so most of the non-essential skin care dropped off and I've been averaging 4-5hrs sleep. Not pretty. I have started again. I've tried a few that don't come anywhere close (Kose Q10 eye zone mask being one of those) but I am trying one at the moment that gives similar results. Not really in the same league, but at least something visible that reduces the veins (for a while) and hydrates the eye area. I'll use it a few more times and will post a review soon. I promise!
Re: the Valmont eye mask. This mask is meant to go under the eye. It is contoured for that area and also covers a bit of the side (where crows feet usually form).
Marina - I'm so sorry to hear that this mask gave you puffy eyes I actually use it quite close to the lash line and have not had any problems but this is yet another reminder that everyone is different |

Mabsy: how do you apply the mask onto your eyes by yourself? I found that it is abit clumbsy to do it on my own.  |

Mabsy,
I was wondering how your progress is coming along? I found a product I was wondering if you heard of it, Tracie Martyn LotuSculpt™ Eye Pads? The pads are $45 and you must purchase the LotuSculpt™ Activator to saturate them with, which is $50. Right now Eluxury.com is having 30% off all their beauty products, so the price would be a bit better. |

My eye area is darker than the rest of my skin face, I was born like that and I hate it! I always need to hide it with conclerer!
Do you think this mask could help me? |
