I haven't been formally posting reviews of many of the products that I've used - so I thought I'd start.....here goes...
For me, this serum didn't accomplish alot more than the Clarins regular eye gel...I got a slight firming action (skin is 40, very transluscent and thin around the eyes) but nothing that would qualify buying it again...For me, it needs an additional cream-based product over it to facilitate any sort of eye-makeup application...wouldn't put out the money for this again. |

There are so many eye products claiming miracles Pudoodles, it would be interesting to know just how many of them DO work |

.....ain't that the truth, Cindi?...and it SO depends on your own skin... and you can hit gold in the most unexpected places..look at me....the best results I've had around the eye area is from a butt cream! (I'm talking about Strivectin SD! )

Isnt it the case that models put haemmaroid cream on their eyes? I tried it once but was too scared to put alot on. Recently Caprice was on a reality tv show here in England and she always had a white mark round her eyes, like she fell asleep in the sun wearing sunglasses. I was so convinced she was using H.cream (cant spell it - cheating). She had lots of late nights and never had a single eye bag - ggrrrrrr |

I did put a smidge on, to the horror of Cindibloke, but obviously not enough. Unless it is of course a mith. Anyone brave enough to confess. These super models must have some secret product up their sleeve. |

I've been told only the Canadian version works as it contains Bio-Dyne as in the original product. Unfortunately it has been reformulated in the US and no longer contains it. I have used the US version (cooling gel type) and it was so-so. Definitely as good as any other eye gel. |

Cheers phredd4. Anyone else. Preferably one we can all rush out and buy. Imagine the news headline on Sky/CNN/Fox. Haemmaroid Cream report huge profits in sale over the weekend - demand outways supplies |

Okay....I'll fess up!! I did a modelling stint when I was in grad school and yes - PreP H DOES work!! But, it isn't the kind of the thing you'd use daily. We used to use it before a show or shoot that was super early (or after a late night). You have to be very careful with it for obvious reasons. But, ALSO for obvious reasons, it brings down swelling and puffiness in ummm "sensitive" areas without irritating...
Laughing...
And, if you all tell I swear I'll deny that I admitted this... |

Don't use Preparation H too much. Like Katee said, it shouldn't be used daily. I had a friend who used it daily and it ended up making the skin around her eyes all red and inflamed.
This is quite interesting. |

I dont know rzecka, I watched her like a hawk when I could but never saw what she used, the names will have been well hidden anyway I guess knowing Big Brother. We need more concrete evidence. Mind you, Michelle from BB5 said she used it and she always looked nice too. I was gutted when she got kicked out. |

I found this serum only gave a brief, temporary tighting effect. Great as a base for eye makeup.
Yes, I agree, it really needs a cream over the top for continuous hydration and wrinkles. |
