I'd been loving the Cellcosmet Eyecream - so very, very lovely, but had been fretting over the price and just could not justify spending the $$$$$ for it....yet.
Then, Darren was kind enough to send me a sample of the PSF eyecream, and lo and behold the stuff is GREAT!!! It has HA in it among other things, is quite hydrating, non-stinging, feels great - soft but not greasy, and my eye area stays hydrated! Hooray!
I've been doing daily side by side tests and I see NO difference in the way the my eyes feel and look-- they are both fabulous!
Bottom line? I do believe I will be ordering a full size of the eyecream from PSF and use the money I would have spent on the cellcosmet eyecream on another bottle of IS Clinical Super Serum (that stuff is wonderful!). I do love the cellcosmet, but I was making myself crazy trying to justify that much for an eyecream -- not that it's not worth it.
Tried a sample of PSF's O2 as well, but couldnt get a good feel as the vial was a tad small (not that I'm complaining, it was FREE for heaven's sake!) and I spilled a little, but the info on it sounds great so I may add that too!
Great product line, IMO!

I've been using the PSF Superhydrating Eye Cream and am going to add my praises   !!!
I've used the Cellcosmet (among others) and think it's very nice but, personally, feel it's just a moisturizer. The PSF has other active ingredients that I have found (not only with this product but also DY's DCX serum) help with with my chronic dark circles (soy rice bran peptides, etc).
I have had no milia or puffiness problems at all with this product (can't say that about most eye creams).
The PSF is a thick cream and you don't need to use much. I haven't had any problems with absorbtion. If I happen to have some puffiness in the morning (from eating too much salt or whatever), I will mix a little of the cream with the PSF Cranberry Eye gel.
You can order a sample fromwww.psfskincare.com. The sample will last at least a couple of weeks.

Below is the ingredient info that I've posted from the website:
Ingredients: Aqua (Distilled Water), OPC (Grapeseed pycnogenols), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba), Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), Soy/Rice Peptides (Hydrolyzed rice bran proteins, Glyine soya protein, Oxidoreducatses), HALOXYL™ (Steareth-20, Hydroxysuccinimide, Chrysin, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7), Stearic Acid (Palm Kernal Extract), Oenothers biennis (Evening Primrose), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel Extract), Ceramide 3 (Lacto-ceramides), d-alpha tocopherol (Vitamin E), Retinol Palmitate (Vitamin A), Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo) Leaf Extract, Silica Microspheres, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary Extract), Fucus Vesiculosis (Seaweed Extract), L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), Azadirachta indica (Neem Extract), Salix nigra (Black Willow Bark) Extract, Sodium HMG, Methylpropylparaben
Some info about the key ingredients:
Key Active Ingredients:
HALOXYL™ - A cosmetic active based on a Matrikine™ Complex, targets the underlying cause of dark circles to prevent excessive formation of these pigmented by-products and diminish their unsightly appearance around the eyes.
Soy-Rice Bran Peptides - Dramatically reduces dark circles & puffiness around the eyes (study showed 35% reduction after 8 weeks treatment), improves skin smoothness & texture, improves microcirculation of the blood in the skin.
Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate with Bio-Liposome Delivery System™) - Anti-aging & anti-wrinkle properties, potent skin regenerating agent, promotes epithelization & keratinization.
OPC (Grapeseed pycnogenols) - One of natures most powerful antioxidants, moisturizers, and protectants.
Lacto-Ceramide 3 (with Bio-Liposome Delivery System™) - Anti-aging & regenerating properties. Liposome-encapsulated sphingoid identical to the natural ceramides found in the skin which decrease with age. Replenishes ceramides & recovers barrier function while stopping water loss on a cellular level.
Hyaluronic Acid - One of the most effective super-moisturizers known to modern science. Capable of holding 1,000 times its molecular weight in water, it hyperhydrates skin cells to "plump up" fine lines & wrinkles, leaving behind smoother, younger looking skin.
Seaweed Extract - Firms and tones sagging skin, soothing properties decrease puffiness and dark circles.
Evening Primrose - Contains GLA (Gamma-linoleic acid), an Omega-6 essential fatty acid that increases cell resilience and aids in the prevention of collagen breakdown & loss. |

Oooh, Marla - it's fun to see this thread resurrected!
Guess what? I'm STILL using PSF's eyecream! Actually, I'm scraping the bottle and need to get another - I believe it will be my third bottle. PSF's eyecream combined with Candy's Eye'll be Seeing You is an AWESOME one-two punch for my tired winter eyes.
I was kind of hoping for a sale at PSF as I need some more of the toner (love that too). I love the 15% discount at EDS - but I love the PSF samples I get when I order directly from them (Snort!)

I tried a sample of all 3 eye products from PSF - unfortunately they didn't work for me. The eye gel just did nothing (and obviously i don't like gel formula around my eyes). Stimucoll made my eyes look worse (i needed another eye cream on top, as Stimucoll alone wasn't moisturizing enough).
When i used the hydrating eye cream for the night i got up with swollen eyes - but i couldn't use it a.m. either becasue it didn't absorb fully and i was running around with greasy, shiny eyes the whole day long. (My only eye problems are fine lines and beginning crows feet – no puffiness or dark discolouration )
So i'm back on Cellcosmet again... (trying Kanebo right now). |
