I bought this about a month ago. It comes in a .5 ounce pot of which I've probably used less than half of in the past month with my 2x a day application.
I had heard about this 2 years ago in Feel Fabulous Forever Beauty Bible. Unfortunately, Helena Rubinstein was no longer being sold in the US or I probably would have tried it sooner.
I have droopy upper lids. After trying many products and doing facial exercises consistantly, I had reached the conclusion that I would have to accept my eyelids the way they were or get surgery.
But using this product along with 2 of Carole Maggio's (Eye Enhancer & Brow Lift) and also adding extra liquid DMAE to my DMAE eye serum, I see a difference..not great or amazing but noticible. So I will continue using Eye Sculptor, DMAE and doing those extra exercises from Maggio's book.
The only problem is now that my eyes look better, I'm finding fault with other areas of my face now. lol
I would especialy recommend this product for those of you with not so advanced droopiness as I have. I had originally read that some women saw immediate lifting effect after application. Not so in my case of course. But with time, I did get results....not spectacular results but afetr all the products I tried, I am pleased with this one.
I think it's about in the 50 dollar range. I bought mine from a yahoo store and bought it a little cheaper. |

I love this product! I'm one of the lucky who did see almost immediate results-AND, I had originally bought mine in Italy, ran out a week ago & my eyelids started drooping again within just 2 days-so I know it's not my imagination that the lids have lifted.
I hadn't realized it was not sold in the US-that's why it took so long to get to me-package came yesterday-all the way from HongKong, so it took 10 days. Do you only do the 2 exercises from Carol Maggio? How often & how long do they take to do?
Thanks,
Maria |

Maria, I do another facial exercise program (Flexeffect) but it didn't help my drooping lids so I added 2 I remember from Facercise. The 2 exercises really take a couple of minutes ideally 2x a day. The first week I tried to do them as often as I could remember during the day.
pbsadhaka,my descriptive abilities are not so great so I won't attempt to describe eye enhancer. The exercise for the brow lifting is to push down with finger placed horizontally above eyebrow and use your muscle to raise the eyebrow. I've been doing alot of short repetitions and then holding so I can feel the muscle working.
Another thing I've been doing intermittently is placing my fingers up at my hairline and pushing upwards and then trying to bring my forehead down against the resistance of my fingers. I've been following the same idea of alot of small rpetitions and then a long hold with this one too. (THis isn't a Maggio exercise but it seems to work the muscle from a different direction.)
I think these exercises would benefit those with droopy lids resulting from the brow coming down. There are other exercises out there that specifically work on toning the eyelid itself.
There was a thread on facial exericise and I think someone posted links (it may have been me..who knows)to free facial exercises on the web. Try the search function on EDS.

No but I think I would if someone suggested one. Does your friend have one that she can't live without?
I also forgot to mention that I've seen an improvement under my eyes too. Alot of days I've left off concealer. |

| I have not heard people talking about HR products in many years. When I was in my twenties I believe you could buy HR in your local pharmacy. I used their cosmetics. Please don't let me get started on trying this. Unless of course it helps bags. |
