For the past several weeks I've been doing a half face test of these two eye creams--PSF Super Hydrating Eye Treatment and Cellularskin-rx Firming Peptide Eyecream. Both I would describe as somewhat hydrating, with the edge going to the PSF. (If you are looking for a really rich cream, you'll need to look elsewhere.) The PSF has a slight waxy scent; the CSRx has no detectable scent. The PSF has a tendency to separate a bit as it ages; the CSRx is better emulsified. Ingredients vary a bit, though both have a Matrixyl 3000 type of peptide and some nice botanical extracts. PSF lists grapeseed oil and jojoba oil as main ingredients; CSRx has glycerin. The CSRx is paraben free, the PSF has a paraben preservative, probably due to its higher oil content. Note that the ingredients lists for both on the EDS site are not complete--you have to go to their own websites for a full ingredient list.
Price for the same size container (15 ml.) is $32 for the CSRx and $55 for the PSF.
Now for the drumroll and the half face test: Both seem moderately effective in hydrating and smoothing fine lines temporarily. I couldn't see any difference overall. Neither are miracleworkers (sadly) but both do help with my mature eye issues. One final note: the PSF did seem to make eyeshadow crease--again, probably due to higher oil content. I would not use it myself during the day for that reason but would stick to it as a night cream.
Still looking for the perfect eyecream, but meanwhile these two are comparatively inexpensive and not bad. If you are looking primarily for a Matrixyl 3000 based eye product, these should be considered. |
