Ageless Derma Eye Cream Review



From the Brand:

Ageless Derma Eye Cream is a powerful new anti-aging treatment that helps to prevent and reverse the signs of aging. Its unique formula combines Retinol, the purest form of Vitamin A, with Vitamins C, E and K to soften the appearance of dark circles, smooth fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture around the delicate eye area.

Dark circles are bruises that appear when the delicate capillaries under the eyes get damaged. Vitamin K is excellent at healing broken capillaries, getting straight to the source of dark circles, and also adds volume to the skin to add further protection. Vitamin C, meanwhile, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, making them less visible and less likely to break in the future, while Vitamin A, and particularly the dose provided by Retinol, effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

My Thoughts:  You may have seen at the end of my review of the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Cream review, I commented on how impressed I was with the face cream and wondered how good the eye cream was.  Well, soon enough there was a complimentary bottle of the Ageless Derma eye cream in my mailbox for me to test out!  It's been about two and a half months now that I've been using the eye cream several times a week, and I'm fairly confident I can give an honest review on it now.

First let's talk about the claims for reducing fine lines.  My profile may not show it due to my makeup skills and the photographers lighting and editing, but I do have some fine lines around my eyes.  In my late 20s, my eye area really started to show age much faster than anywhere else on my body.  My eyelids have started to fold over, my circles have gotten much much darker (although I blame that on two kids under 10!), and I've gotten an increasing number or severity of fine lines at the outside corners of my eyes.  Nothing too severe, mind you, but it is a daily reminder that my 20s are gone, and without constant prevention and maintenance my skin isn't going to bounce back the way it did when I was younger.

That being said, after using this eye cream for the past few months, the fine lines on the outside corners of my eyes have completely disappeared!  I knew that it was a potent combination of vitamins and Retinol, but I wasn't really expecting such a big difference.  I wish I'd taken a before photo to show a comparison.  I preach all the time about using an eye cream, and yet I'm one of those people who neglects their own advice all the time and forgets to put some on.  I'm sure that simple fact contributed immensely to the dryness around my eyes that was alleviated with the use of the eye cream, but I really think it was mainly the Retinol.

Even the label will tell you that it's not a daily eye cream if you have sensitive skin, and the Retinol will cause some peeling.  I would put it on before bed and after about 20 minutes, I could run my fingertip around the orbital bone and feel little bits of skin rolling off from the Retinol peeling the surface up to promote skin cell turnover.  It's both weird and cool at the same time.  Just be careful you don't get any in your actual eye.

The hydration provided by the eye cream is excellent for something that also promotes peeling.  It also absorbs really quickly, so I don't have to wait forever before putting on my concealer.  I do my eyes first and then the rest of my skin care products so that it has ample time to penetrate, but total time I'd say is no more than five minutes.  I usually brush my teeth or my hair and then get started on my makeup.  Or maybe make a cup of tea or coffee.

The only downside I'd say is that it hasn't helped much at all for my dark circles.  They are slightly less evident, and I have a multitude of issues that contribute to their intensity, so I wasn't expecting much.  I've tried every eye cream on the planet in the last ten years to no avail.  I think that over time with continued use the Vitamin K in this eye cream in combination with the Retinol and Vitamin C would improve it more, but in the two and a half months I've been using it I haven't seen the kind of improvement consumers have been conditioned by advertising to expect.  Therefore, I can't endorse this eye cream as one giving users a dramatic improvement in dark circles in a time frame they'd consider "long enough", and most people would probably stop using it and switch to another.  (Can you sense my frustration with modern skincare advertisements and consumer expectations?)  However, if you are willing to continue use for several months or more, I'm confident it would provide the significant improvement the majority of users would find appropriate.


Final Verdict:  Fantastic for plumping up and smoothing out fine lines around the eyes and with continued use could provide measurable improvement for dark circles.

Product Review- Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Skincare

 

Ageless Derma Stem Cell and Peptide Anti-Wrinkle Cream

 

From the Brand: 

Healthy, clear, silky, smooth; the exquisite skin of your youth. The radiant glow of young skin shines with lustrous vitality and allure. Our Ageless Derma Anti-Wrinkle Cream will help you recapture the natural freshness of skin untouched by the ravages of sun, environmental toxins, damaging lifestyle choices and daily stresses. 

How does Ageless Derma Anti wrinkle cream promote skin renewal?

Ageless Derma Stem Cell and Peptide Anti-Wrinkle Cream is a scientifically formulated blend of substantiated ingredients that revitalize your body’s natural abilities to heal itself. The aging process leaves our skin with diminished capacities to regenerate and repair but Ageless Derma supplies skin with the nutrients and vital plant stem cells that it requires to initiate rejuvenation. 

Why do we use plant stem cells in our Ageless Derma Anti-Wrinkle Cream?

We use stem cell extract because it has been proven in laboratory studies to stimulate growth in cultures of aged human epidermal stem cells. Comprehensive studies have demonstrated that plant stem cells delay the aging process. 

These positive effects were further confirmed in a study of women from ages 37 to 64 who used a stem cell extract enhanced cream. After only a month of twice daily application, 100% of the participants demonstrated measurably reduced wrinkle depth.

My Thoughts:  While I'm not aged 37 to 64, I am do come from an esthetics background, and it has always been my focus in skincare to concentrate on effective ingredients.  When I heard about Ageless Derma, I was intrigued by their use of stem cells in conjunction with retinol, peptides, and Coenzyme Q-10.  I'd learned in my education that those three were huge ingredients in the anti-aging game, and they are continually the ingredients I tell my clients to look for when shopping for skincare to promote smoother skin.  The fact that they also include green tea extract (which helps fight inflammation) and sodium hyaluronate (which promotes hydration and water retention in the skin) shows that they've done their research when it comes to key ingredients for anti-aging.   I'd heard about Argireline and Matrixyl 3000 as well in recent years as being two game changers in the skincare world.  They seem to be popping up all over the place.  You can go to the Ageless Derma website to read more about the individual ingredients, or even just do a quick Google search if you're skeptical.

 

Now back to those stem cells for a second.  I read that and immediately thought of all the controversy surrounding stem cell use and research.  But upon reading a little deeper I saw that they are plant stem cells, and they've been proven to help stimulate growth in old cells.  Being 30, I figure it's better to start early with my prevention than rely on correction later down the road.  I have some shallow forehead lines that are slowly starting to become more and more evident, so this was at least a small testing ground for the cream even if I didn't need major reversal.

 

I've been applying the cream every morning for the past three months, and I can run my finger over my forehead with only the slightest feeling of one line.  One, where there used to definitely be three forming.  I can only imagine what my skin would look like if I did have more advanced wrinkles.

 

The cream itself of more like a gel based moisturizer.  It's not a thick greasy opaque consistency like you'd assume.  It absorbs very quickly and leaves no residue.  It doesn't interfere with my makeup application at all, so I don't have to wait before applying my foundation like with many other creams.  It feels very silky on my fingertips.  The smell is the one thing that I'd change if it were up to me.  I'd either remove it completely or make it less herbal.  To me it smells like a combination of rosemary and grapefruit.  Not an unpleasant combination if you're talking about a candle, but not exactly something I want so close to my face.  Thankfully, it goes away super quickly, and I don't have to smell it all day even if I'm not wearing foundation on top of it.

Final Verdict:  This is an amazing product and an really amazing price for such a potent combination of proven effective ingredients.  I've seen similar creams with twice the price that rely solely on one or two of these main ingredients, so personally I find this a steal.  It's not a drugstore price brand, but the results I think validate the price if you really want something effective at regenerating the surface of your skin.  I'd love to test out more of their products, such as their eye cream (which contains retinol to renew the surface of the skin and Vitamin K to promote strengthening of the capillary walls- again two of the main ingredients I tell people to look for in an eye cream!).
