As Ive said, Im 28. I dont really have wrinkles or anything yet...but I do have some lines right under my eyes that I guess could be described as crepish... I first noticed them at 21 and ran out and bought eye cream. Ive been using it ever since.. though the brands have changed from time to time.

I had some success with Cliniques Anti-Gravity Eye Firming Cream. I know.. this is mostly for women over 40... the Clinique chicks always tried to talk me out of buying it.. but the reason I bought it was because it was the only thing dense enough to keep my eyes from getting dry an hour later..

But when I was looking for a new concealer, I came across Lancomes Resolution D- Contraxole. I read up on it, and if it does what it claims to do, its really something special.

I tried it tonight for the first time and it was like instant de-crepe. Of course.. after a few hours the lines start showing again.. but its only been a few hours since I started using it!!

They also make this for the face (and boy is that one expensive..!)

Anyway. If you read the in vitro results they mention on their site, its amazing.

Its not a 'new' product.. but was new to me. I searched on it on this site but didnt see it listed anywhere, so if it is.. sorry if Im repeating it!

On thing though - it does burn my eyes a bit and make them tear up.....but it worth it if it works!

Promises dramatic results within 4 weeks. Will keep you posted!

I bought the face version when it came out about 18 mths ago. I thought it was pants! Fifty quid for a jar of nice smelling gunk...gimmie relaxaline any day!
Mind you if they do a cosmetic concealer that even temporarily tightens I may be interested Very Happy

I have to say Ive only been using this 24 hours and I already see a difference.

Course.. this may be as good as it gets.. which isnt worth what I paid for it..

But also, Im using it in conjunction with Chanels Eye Toner, which Mabsy said dried her out badly..

So its possible that I would be seeing really impressive results already if I werent also using that..

We'll see..

Heres an update worth mentioning..

This can sting your eyes and make them water - for like 15 to 20 minutes..(but maybe its more just a vicious circle.. they water, I dab, they water, I dab.. etc..)

Im positive its this and not something else Im using. The tearing starts while Im putting it on..

I do have very senstive eyes/eye area.

But this product is really doing a great job thus far so Im willing to keep on with the stinging eyes.

Also possible that I just got too much of it near the eye itself - it stung much less the 3rd time (ive used a little less each time) than the 1st.

That.. or Im rapidly losing all feeling in my eyes.. Very Happy

Still, I have to say its yummy stuff..

Will keep you posted.

Ok. So.. this works really great as a base for concealer.

Also, Ive found that if I only run up to my eye with it, it doesnt burn. Its only if I run it completely over my closed eye that it burns like hell. (Ive always done this with eye creams.. and this is the first to burn..made my eyes red for a few days.. so be warned!)

Also, Im using it together with Chanels Eye Tonic, so its possible some results are more from one than the other.

The crepish lines that were under my eyes are gone. GONE. GONE. There are now such tiny teensy lines in their place now that even I can barely see them. Even if I scrunch my eyes up as much as possible.

The area at the bottom of the orbital socket is a bit dried still.. but its improved by leaps and bounds already.

My right eye has problems, but my left eye was 100% worse.

My right eye looks like I never had problems.

My left eye now looks like my right eye used to. Hopefully it will continue to improve...

I work with a woman who is about 40 (maybe a bit older...sorry I dont know how old she is exactly) and she also had started using this within the last 2 weeks. She said its a miracle product for her and she couldnt believe it.

I love this stuff. Will keep you updated. (Hasnt even been a week yet!)

I bought the product myself and only used it a few times. I've heard great things about the face cream which my mom uses. After applying the eye cream on my eyes it would always burn. I don't know if it was working, or if it's the fragrance that is burning my skin,(i have very thin skin). I still love my dermalogica. total eye care. it's my fav.

Update..

The dry eye issue I had suddenly developed was apparently from the crap Clinique Comforting Cream cleanser I was using.. I ran out of it.. and the dryness vanished practically overnight..

I did continue to use this cream until it was gone. It didnt impress me.

And DID burn the heck out of my eyes, make them tear and turn them red. Ive never had that problem with anything else...

This might be a good product for wrinkles though. Im 29 and dont have many.. was using it as a moisturizer and have found something better..

I have the Lancome D-Contraxol for the eyes and face; I wasn't impressed with either product but I'm 44 and have more issues with my skin. I purchased them from E-Bay and got them quite a bit cheaper. Good luck!

i have been using that lancome product that was mentioned.. i do like it and i am seeing some results. i use it at night. im only using it where i have deeper lines. then the lancome absoule face and eye on the rest of my face for day and night . its just been an experiment to find what works for me..yes a little pricey but i do have some nice sample sizes jars (gwp) on most of the products. i still havent found what i really like. but for now this is what ill use till its gone or see a big improvement for that kind of $$$
