Hi, I have slight sagging and dark circles under my eyes that are hereditary. I am in the process of purchasing TNS because of the positive feedback. Plus celebs. use this product! I am also wanting to get another product to lighten my dark circles. Now I Know I cant get rid of them but I do want to lighten or diminish. Please help me decide which product (OKUSIL OR ALPHADERM) will give me the faboulous results. Thank you
**P.S. I was told by another topic post, that OKUSIL helps with dark circles and tightens eye area. Now I am desperate! Im sooo desperate for results that I was gonna purchase the $180.00 bottle of cosmelan 2. Embarassed PLEASE POST YOUR OPINIONS. I Cant waste another dime.HAHa
Very Happy

Okusil did not work for me. In fact, it dried out my eye area and made my fine lines looks worse.

I don't have dark circles, so I can't really help there.

Okusil is by far the WORST product I have ever used. I didn't have wrinkles around my eyes until I started to use it. It took weeks to get back to normal!

For dark circles, the best product I've found is Teamine. It isn't immediate or dramatic, but it most definitely does work over time.

I think the issue with Okusil might be that because of the HA in it, you might have to put an eye cream over the top (to let the HA do it's job - HA will make your skin look dry if it doesn't have something to take moisture from). Just my 2 cents...

I use and like Okusil. I haven't had a problem with hydration; with Alphaderma CE on top, my eye area is left very smooth and hydrated. I haven't noticed any improvement in undereye darkness with Okusil, however, and I have used it for a long time. You would probably find a better fix for the undereye circles elsewhere.

I do love Alphaderma CE, but I am not dealing with major firming/wrinkle issues yet. I am using it mainly as a preventative measure, but I recall others on the board noticing firming with its use.

hth some.

Hi, out of those 3 the TNS worked best for me. A new line called Neocutis is excellent as well, I am preferring it to TNS at the moment. (has a variety of growth factors in it).

Hi Tasha!

I would highly recommend the Ice Elements eye serum for your dark circles and the eye cream for your sagging... For an extra boost you could add the anti-aging serum.

I would recommend that you go over to http://iceelements.com and ask either Shelly or Brenda what they think will work best for you.

I recently started using the eye serum myself, and although I no longer have the problem with dark circles that I used to have, I have seasonal allergies and trouble sleeping which will bring them out... but since I have added the eye serum you undereye area has been very smooth and without darkness... even if I get 4 hours or less of sleep!

Of all of the products that this company sells, I have heard the most dramatic results have come from using both eye products, and most seem to be able to see the results rather quickly. I hand around their message boards a bit and read a lot from other posters and have yet to hear from anyone who was disapointed with the eye serum... Some woman even use it on their nose to mouth lines, #11's and on broken caps in their face with good results.

Whatever product you choose, I wish you the best of luck!

When I was younger I used to have circles under my eyes that sometimes got so dark that it looked like I had been in a fight, so I can totally sympathize!

Take care.
Bosoxy.

I've been using ADCE for over a year now. I love it, my skin really does look better. I've been using it every day and every night. I also purchased the Okusil, but haven't really noticed a difference...I'm not so religious about its use, so that may be the reason I haven't seen much difference.
