I don't change products on a whim. I give them at least six weeks to work, and if they do, I stick with them. Unless said product is eye cream, in which I am always willing to fall for a miracle-product description. Who isn't??
I have zero memory of who recommended Neocutis Lumiere Biorestorative Eye Cream with PSP (well that was a mouthful, wasn't it??) from www.neocutis.com. But I'm on my second bottle, and the skin around my eyes looks excellent, no advancement on the crows-feet front. My main obsession is resiliency, and this product promises to tackle this particularly heinous issue, and I do think I have seen a bit of improvement in that area too. As soon as I pat it on (eyelids included, no irritation, and my eyes are SENSITIVE) the tiny lines around my eyes, visible in the 8000 watts of light in my bathroom, are plumped a bit, demonstrating excellent hydrating properties. I love how quickly it absorbs, minimizing the risk that it was migrate into my eyes as I sleep, causing me to wake up looking like a deranged frog.
The product comes packaged in a bottle equipped with a pump. NEUTRAL While tubs allow you to get every scrap of product, they also allow you to transfer whoknowswhat from your fingers to the remaining product in the jar, which may cause oxidation or decay. Pump leaves overage? Use a toothpick to scrape it out. Downside of pumps is that they're often defective, and dispense unpredictable amounts of product, sometimes in unpredictable directions.
The texture is light, but surprisingly hydrating, thanks to hyauluronic acid, and sinks in quickly. PLUS.
Miracle ingredients include PSP (glad you asked, it stands for 'processed skin proteins', egad), wild yam, and beech tree bud extract. PSP is obtained via cultured fetal skin cells, and the idea is that such proteins will encourage your skin to act younger, eg, more resilient, more able to repair damange. Wild yam is a phytosterol, or in other words, what Samantha in Sex and the City 2 rubbed on her hoo-ha to calm down menopausal symptoms. As we age, our skin dries out and gets grouchy due to declining estrogen levels. Trick it into thinking that estrogen levels are parked somewhere around 21, and skin is moister, perkier. Beech tree bud extract is an anti-oxidant, from the 'youth tree.' "Anti-oxidant", "Youth Tree"? Need I say more?? PLUS.
Sadly, like too many cosmetics, this eye cream is loaded with parabens. BUMMER. I am avoiding parabens in everything else that I can possibly get away with so I can keep this eye cream; its worth it!
