So for the first time in about three years I made a trip to the derm—with my wedding coming up next year, I figured I shouldn’t really procrastinate. (Visions of adult acne and a white dress dance in my head!) At the end of the appointment, I walked out with two prescriptions—one face lotion and an eye cream for the fine lines (that are turning into not-so-fine lines)—and one giant smile on my face about my new skincare regimen. I happily raced home to fill my Rx topical lotions and immediately started patting my new eye cream on those pesky fine lines and wondered: This isn’t my first time at the eye cream rodeo—why am so damn hyped up about this particular eye gunk? Do you tend to trust an expert more?

A few days ago, I had another birthday. Yep, I am now firmly planted in my 40s. I can no longer say I am in my “early 40s” or that I “just turned 40”. For the most part, I have no problem with my age. However,…

Say it ain’t so, but a major UK consumer organization claims that spending money on fancy eye creams is like investing in horses and buggies, or erm, something like that. The group Which? tested 12 anti-wrinkle products on volunteers between 35 and 65 years old, and “found none of them came close to eliminating or reducing the appearance of lines.” Not. Even. One. As a result, they concluded that a $5 eye cream is not too different from a $50-plus one. [Belfast Telegraph]
Really? Do you agree?

Ugh! I just wasted a month on this ho-hum anti-aging product. I forked over the cash, applied religiously for weeks -- and what did I get? Nothing, nada, zip. Zero improvement on my lines. The only upside? I can share my story, along with all these other real people's tales, with you. Learn from our blown cash and wasted time, and use one of these top-rated wrinkle serums instead.
Here are the worst of the worst:

You know what really sticks in my craw? When I find out Dove anti-aging eye cream works just as well as Lancome (which costs $20-$40 more). Don't believe it? This side-by-side comparison ought to convince you ... and if not, these before-and-after photos will. Read More »

It's a common dilemma: You don't want wrinkles or dark circles, but you don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars a year for eye cream either (am I right?). Are you doomed to crows feet or can you get results with a cheaper cream?
Short answer: Um … maybe. But … you have to know which one to use. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (7) | Blog
