Aquafina Bottling Skincare, But Should Stick To Bottling Pepsi
The powers that be at Aquafina are now making “advanced hydration premium skincare” products.
One of their products is dubbed the “Wrinkle Release and Sealer,” which they claim works after just one hour of use. The first two ingredients listed on the bottle are purified water and cetyl alcohol… hardly the dynamic duo you want to smooth onto your dry skin to decrease wrinkles. They’ve also thrown in some white tea and cucumber to even out the mix and appeal to those who favor natural skin care ingredients.
But it's their patented QuSome delivery system that sounds the hokiest. They describe QuSomes by saying they “are like microscopic water balloons” that deliver nutrients into deep layers of the skin. They say the QuSome system in their products enables them to work “better, faster and longer.”
Seems like another instance of a company jumping on the lucrative skincare and anti-aging beauty bandwagon to cash in on the desires of many to retain their youth.
Pepsi (the company behind Aquafina) should stick to beverages because their skincare promises sound too sweet to believe.

My son brought home Aquafina undereye emolient. It's amazing. It seems to lessen dark circles on the spot, it's soothing, non oily and it doesn't bother my eyes even though I have super sensitive skin and often react to makeup that's billed as hypoallergenic. He said he got it at Walmart. I've looked other places (CVS, Target, Walgreen), but haven't found it). I'm eager to try their other products.

Just bought the intensive eye cream and it diminshed my puffy eyes within seconds. The overnight cream is feels good on my face...tonight is the first night I'm trying it, so I will repost in a couple days and let you know what I think. I have tried many different products and I couldn't resist trying this one after I read what they promise to deliver.

Accidentally discovered Aquafina skincare product when it was on the reduced rack at my local Wal-Mart. Since I am a beauty product junkie, I decided to give it a try. I bought the Overnight Recovery Retinyl Complex Moisturizer and was pleasantly surprised. I have been using it for one week and already notice an improvement in my skin. It is not as dry and a noticeable reduction in wrinkles.

The Aquafina site states that Aquafina skin care is available not only at Wal-Mart, but also Longs Drugs, Marcs, and Duane Reade stores.

I purchased Aquafina Advanced Hydration RX overnight recovery face moisturizer a few wks ago at Wal-Mart in the Midwest area. I went to purchase another jar and the clerk at Wal-mart informed me they discontinued the product. She gave me no reason. I really loved the product but please inform me where I can purchase the product. Can it be purchased on line? Thanks HF

Same as Morgann, I found this product at a 75% discount in the local WalMart and decided to give it a try. I am in my early fifties, have tried all kinds of pricey North American and European skin care products but have never heard of the Qusomes. To my great surprise, this was the only product which did show results overnight! My skin is so much tighter, no puffiness at all and I can feel that it is moist the whole day. So I went back to WalMart to stock up but the product had disappeared. This morning I called Aquafina's customer service and the guy told me WalMart had discontinued selling the product. In my opinion- their loss! He also told me that CVS, Walgreens, Big Lots and some other discount stores are carrying the product but I could not find it there. So if anyone knows where it is being sold for sure (except on their official website),please let us know. This is an excellent product, even though I haven't heard it advertised like Neutrogena for instance.

You can purchase it online with WALMART. With site to store you do not have to pay for shipping also.

I purchased the under eye cream at the Dollar Tree. I noticed my puffy eyes the next morning were gone. It works better than Mary Kay.
