I wanted to add as well that I ordered a sample of this a couple of weeks from NCN.
Have to say that the shipping was speedy and Nancy and her team made sure to put in instructions along with a complementary sample. Awesome service.

For info, this was tested on both my mother and me. I'm 21 years old with oily/combo skin prone to acne. Whereas my mother in her 40's, has dry mature skin with fine wrinkles around her eyes.

On to the product itself, the Eye Tuck worked immediately on myself with clean skin. I have no lines but do have small dots that are not raised. My issue is more of dark circles caused by a sunken under eye area. This can add to the illusion, more so with lack of sleep. So the tuck works for me in that it pulled my skin taut enough to help with that.

For my mother, her issues were with wrinkles, sagging, and a bit of puffiness. Of course she loves it and says she can see the difference everytime she puts it on. It has only been a couple of weeks but she says she noticed a small difference in her under eyes looking better on their own. She used this both day and night. I couldn't use it nightly as much as her since it would creep into my eyes a little. It would make my eyes feel thicker.

After reading this thread for all its tips, I only had to adjust one time to stop any flakes. My technique is to use a concealer brush to apply the eyetuck. This is a big help as sometimes in the morning, my mind is too groggy to make sure I have the right amount and even application. I've used my fingertips and it worked just as fine too. If I have time, I will lay down on my bed and fan my eyes to dry. Though most of the time, I just tilt my head back, then fan dry. My mother does all of the above as well.

I think with the white flakes, it usually occurs when you apply too much or a rich moisturizer underneath reacts with it. I actually had white flakes on purpose. I was experimenting one time putting layer after layer waiting a few hours in-between to see the visible difference in tucking. It also helps to see how much is too much to get the white flakes. There is only one moisturizer I cannot use with this but I use that at night only anyways.

I apologize for the lengthy post but do only so that it may help others as the ones here have for me.

Hi Amarise and what a wonderful review!!! Don't apologize for the long post at all, I've posted lengthy ones myself in this thread to try and give as much info as possible!

I'm thrilled you and your mother have had success using it as I and others have! Your right, using a small amount is the most important thing to learn about this product! Excellent review! Very Happy

Has anyone had success with the upper eyelid area? My lids are pretty saggy and I was hoping the tuck might work there too - works very well underneath - tried it today on clean skin - definitely better - stayed for 12 hours without a flake! I tend to put one light application dry it and then reapply, followed by a touch of the cream. Lynn

So glad that the products are working for you and the tuck should last the 12 hours if it is put on with the correct application. We all seem to find the application that works best for us but the main thing is.....it WORKs! So boogie dance for you and your mom!

Anyone with any luck with dark rings?

I bought this for my dark rings but it doesn't really seem to be working very well. I know its more for eye bags, but i thought I'll just give it a shot.

Everyday for 3 months now =( I think I'm beyond hope!

I got my order from NCN, thanks Nancy! Smile

I used both products last night with a hair dryer to set it and voila! Smile

Works like a charm! The drying is the trick for me, too bad I didn't try this months back.

Then this morning I used the tuck after crying (long story) but the Tuck worked miracles on my puffy eyes. I

this stuff, hehe.

I got the product 4 days ago but I still can't get it to work. I put on my c serum, wait 1 hour then put the product on.
It always dries cracked no matter what I do
once I put the illuminating then the serum
once I switched but still same thing
this morning I did like I saw on youtube illuminating then serum right after then concealer right after and everything became white and cracked so I put an eye moisturizer to melt everything down.

Do you have any suggestions?

Also do you use the product all the way to craw feet or just under the eye? even the illuminating doesn't spread well.

Hi HAS. Seems to me that you are putting too much product on. Try applying with a concealer brush. The Illuminating is fine on the crows feet but don't take the Eye Tuck there. The Illuminating is not a moisturizer but part of the under eye treatment which can be used in areas of the face for fine lines like your crows feet. So it does not have the usual oils that would allow you to spread it like a face cream. I use it by dabbing a little in certain areas. The Eye Tuck is for the immediate under eye area. A little of these products goes a very long way so use very little. If the C serum you are using leaves a residue you may want to leave this out of the process, at least while you are trying to get the applications right. I just wanted to say that in the beginning I was getting some flaking. That was because I was applying way too much, even though I thought I wasn't.

free skin care · Fri Feb 19, 2010 8:03 pm

Hi Has, definitely try what Winter Solstice suggested. If that doesn't work, I use my c serum, then emu oil - wait about 1/2 hour then I apply a good drop (for 2 eyes) of the illuminator by patting gently with the finger of my other hand around the entire eye area to the cheek bone and out over the crows feet even the upper inside corner. Next, I put a good sized drop for 2 eyes of the tuck. Again, I use the finger of my other hand to apply by dabbing gently the entire undereye areas right down to the cheek bone, crows feet, the works (quickly and lightly), then I blow dry with my head tilted backwards. I have higher cheek bones and hollows where my eyes are so it helps to make the area look less sunken. Sometimes you need more product - but better to layer it, rather than to use too much at once. Mine stays on the whole day, even after exercise - no flaking so far with this method. Hope this helps, Lynn

Hi all,
Okay, I caved in about a month ago and got some of the eye tuck, thanks to all you ladies who wouldn't stop raving about it. Verdict: excellent! Truly as great as promised. Flawless, smooth undereye skin and *enlightened* dark circles. Only problem is, it makes the rest of my face look like an old shoe. Very Happy

Maybe Zach will invent a similar wonder product for the forehead, cheeks and chin...

Anyway, I'm writing to say that lately, I've been experimenting with using EES + sunblock, mindful of the approaching summer. I've had uneven results, but enough success to encourage me. I didn't use any fancy sunblock, just whatever I happened to have on hand -- L'Oreal Kids 30 SPF, supposed to be good for sensitive kiddie skin (and so, I reasoned, okay for sensitive eye skin).

So here's what I do. I mix the EES and sunblock together with a fingertip, then massage it in like crazy (doesn't seem to penetrate otherwise). I should point out that I've had better results when I do NOT use any other undereye product beforehand; but that, recently, I've been slapping on a bit of serum or a light moisturizer, then waiting 30 min, THEN putting the EES-sunblock combo on. Most days, this does the trick.

Voila!

PS. This is my first post!!

Welcome TokyoRose and great that you are having success.... now you should have a boogie dance in your honor

I'm new to the forum world & am just learning about how everything works, lol! I was just browsing through some topics & found some great information on some products I'd like to try. Then I came across one that I actually had tried & was surprised at how many others had also used it. I too use this little "miracle in a bottle" as I like to call it!
I've had darkness below my eyes for years (I'm 28 & not getting any younger)& it progressively got worse as I was staying up later & later; studying, working, going to school. I ordered it in the hopes that it may make me look ~not so tired~ & to my surprise it did! I use the eye tuck & always rub it in until it's almost completely dry. At first all I noticed was a firming effect, which was nice, but I really wanted my circles to go away. I hadn't really noticed much difference until about a week into it and people I worked with started to ask "Are you getting more rest?", "You look different. What's going on?", & I even got a "Wow, your eyes look brighter!" When I got those comments I said, No... hmmmm, well I have been using this new eye serum.
Personally I hadn't noticed that much of a dramatic effect, but most everyone I was around sure did. It really made me feel GOOD. After that I wanted to use it more. I was only using it in the morning at that time. I used the eye cream & serum in the morning and night, but I had to stop using the cream before bed b/c I sleep pretty hard on my face and would wake up w/puffy eyes. NO GOOD for me! Maybe too much moisture while sleeping, IDK? But, I continue to use it in the morning. It seems to smooth and fill the lines in my eye area and also in my brow line.
I no longer have issues w/my under-eye darkness and just wanted to share my experience.
I sure hope this helps! Smile

wow, so many posts in this topic! They are really helpful.

Also, dark circles and eye bags are the common concern for all of us.

Wed Mar 03, 2010 7:58 pm

I'm so glad its working for you guys!

Hi Jemma, Welcome to the forum and to this thread in particular. It is always gratifying to hear another EES success story. Thank you very much for sharing.

If you are like myself and others, you will find with continued use of both the Easy Eye Solutions products your under eye area will improve further over time.

One thing I wanted to mention. The Illuminating Eye Care also contains Titanium Dioxide. Which is a sun block. I am not sure if other users of the product know this. I still use a regular sun screen on my face but apply little or non to my eye area because of the Illuminating Eye Care.

I am so excited to try this product, does this give dramatic results for darks cirlces too

3 or so weeks into using the EES and things are going well. Smile

Okay maybe well isn't strong enough...how about GREAT! The hair dryer trick is working out fabulous and on mornings I am super tired, I use a dab of the Tuck first thing and voila, I don't look like I was up all night. Plus, the latest photo I took of myself, my dark circles seem less. Smile

After a year i am still singing the praises of these products and that is more than I can say for most topical products I buy.

White Wolf I'm glad it's working for you. Isn't that nice Smile

It probably provides some protection, but I wouldn't actually go so far as to call Illuminating cream a "sun block."

Here is what Zach said:

"We don't market the Illuminating cream as a sunscreen because it isn't as effective as a products specifically designed for sun protection."

Slight alteration! to my last post. Embarassed

I realized (after I had pressed 'Submit') that what I said could have been taken to imply that Nancy G. had called the Illuminating Eye Cream a 'sunblock,' when all she did was mentioned that it contained an ingredient that is a sunblock agent. My apologies to Nancy for misrepresenting what she said. (Happens when hasty people like me don't read every word...)

So I'm going to rephrase what I said in my last post: the Illuminating cream may well block UV rays just as effectively as any commercial sunblock. But since I haven't found any info as to just how much sun protection it offers, I'm going to keep using the commercial stuff.

Certainly no apologies necessary. I still use the commercial sun block as well. As I mentioned in my earlier post I use less around my eyes because of the added Titanium Oxide in the Illuminating Eye Care.
