Youthology works?

By Kelly A on 28 Dec 2006

I saw an ad for youthology eye serum and wondered if it can possibly live up to its stated promise. Youthology website claims " What if you could turn back the hands of time and look up to ten years younger — without painful injections or surgery — AND in just 90 seconds" My instinct says no to youthology. Anyone think youthology is worth buying?

I also saw this infomercial about turning back the hands of time and was a little leary about ordering. I always check blogs to see what other people's experiences were and glad I did. Thanks for your input on how this company operates and also letting me know it's work. I will keep using what I have been Loreal Revitalizing Cream..

Beware people...I ordered this last night after an infomercial I went to my computer and looked up the official website and 10 minutes after I ordered it saw in small print by ordering I was automatically enrolled in a monthly rebilling then saw so many complaints on this including one saying they had to hire a lawyer to stop this...so within another 10 minutes I wrote them an email saying I don't want automatic monthly amounts sent then more wisely wrote them again to simply cancel, then put a stop on my credit card within another 10 minutes (still reading more horror stories about them online)...then after 9 am called , as in the "writing" it says it takes 5-7 days for them to respond to an email, and they don't answer their phones they say they'll 'call back" if you choose that option so a man did call back, argued that automatic billing is an "option" and I said, "Sir, it's not an option it's automatic on your site (I believe it must be why they do a "script" if you call as well as this happens as well to the people calling in) and that I am cancelling as they won't be able to bill me...so he said ok he'll give me a cancellation number. I said I want it emailed to me...he said that would take 48 hours...so I said fine well know I'm leaving a stop on my credit card and have already contacted the better business bureau (I had) and there's no excuse to neither email confirm a sale or a cancellation for 48 hours and that his lying about the "choice" of automatic payments is confirmation enough they run a scam situation with their business tactics. Anyway, have to share. I don't know if the product works or not, but be aware of the aggravation you'll go through if you don't want automatic billing. On top of that I have a first complaint in at my credit card company which you'll have to do if you want veracity if these people don't send in a confirm of a cancellation and then bill you anyway a week later, a year later so be sure to do that if you get into a situation like I did and don't read these forums first before foolishly buying from this company.

Ran across these youthology before and afters, posted by the company

Youthology Wrinkle Cream Results, Before and After

Do you believe them?

No - it's crap and I think it is a marketing scam to trick older people! If you do not cancel before the first 30 days - you are automatically renewed and you would have to take them to court to get yout money back! When I called - they only spoke spanish...I think this is just a sophisticated scam!!

This product is no different than any other eye serums that you can get at your local Walgreens or CVS. Not only that, I called to cancel after a month which happened to be one day after they had already shipped out my Auto-shipment. Just know that if that happens, you cannot return the product. Now, I'm going to have to fork out $90 for a product that I won't even use. I told the rep that I wouldn't open the box and just return it and she said I couldn't get a refund. Just go purchase a product from your local drugstore. Youthology is not worth the money.

If its on a credit card and the item is returned to the merchandiser, it MUST be refunded or shipped back to you. They know that, they tell you that you won't get credit to encourage you KEEP the package. SEND IT BACK...opened or unopened, call your credit card company and let them know you "don't have the product' and have the charges reversed. Don't be a consumer fool!!

Thank you VERY MUCH for the INFO !!!

I purchased this product and totally forgot I signed up for the autoship program. The product is so so. When I received another tube due to the autoship, I called to cancel and return it. BEWARE: IF YOU SIGN UP FOR AUTOSHIP AND YOUTHOLOGY MAILS IT TO YOU, YOU CANNOT RETURN THE PRODUCT. It's a shame that this company feels they have to lock you in because their product cannot stand on its own merrit. Other REPUTABLE companies will allow you to return products on autoship. It's a shame this company is not one of them! I will never purchase this product again!!!!

You should all (myself definitely included) stop spending money on anything having to do with your face unless its cleanser, makeup, or sunscreen. Save your money and get professional, surgical, type of procedures and get the longer lasting effect you want and deserve. I'm in the process of saving my money now. Youthology does tighten the skin under the eyes, but it is a pain in the ass. It doesn't last all day, sometimes leaves visible residue under eye so you're always looking for it, and the bottle can be frustrating because it can dry up on you. Maybe get it if you are having pics taken and you want to temporarily get rid of bags. I'm getting surgery and injections because I'm tired of dealing with it and I want to look my best. Anyone have $5,000 I can have!?

I was tempted to purchase this miracle product, but after reading these reviews, I will not! thanks to all of you for your honesty and saving me $.I guess the old saying " if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true", is appropriate here. Thanks again!

Yep Ditto!

thanks to the people that took the time to comment here. im so glad i checked on this website before buying. im always skeptical of infomercials and this one should be no exception. everyone here has had the same bad experience. a white film that cracks as soon as you move your face. thanks to the good people here i didnt fall for it. needless to say i wont be buying it and i feel much better already. probaly just that is taking a wrinkle off my face.

My friend gave youthology as a gift. I must tell you I am very skeptical when it comes to adds on TV or else where. The first time I tried it, I was amazed it worked I could watch the wrinkles fade away. I find that even when I wash my face later using the skin regimen that most of the wrinkles stay away so that I actually don't need to use the 90 second eye cream all the time. In using this product less is more so to speak. I don't wear face makeup as my skin is really sensitive and breaks out no matter what brand I try. I just do eye makeup. I do know from experience that if the skin around your eyes isn't clean of all makeup and oils from lotions this product won't work. I love the results that youthology has given my face. My friend who gave me it to try. Can't stop staring as she says the transformation is amazing. She said it took 20 yrs off my age. This product works!

My boyfriend ordered Youthology for me. I tried it last night and used too much and had the white look. However, this morning I used a little less and I am very happy with how it looks! I do look 10 years younger this morning, the lines and puffiness are gone! I have been talking Botox for the last year and he saw the commerical. I am going to give it the 30 day try! besides, he bought it!:)
Alex London 9 Mar 2011
yes i does. anythng and everythng related to skin cn be cured or atleast reduced by it.

I tried it and it did nothing except leave white powder around my eyes. When you watch the infomercial it seems as if its a cream (the way the MD applies it) yet it does not go on smoothly.

I too saw the 2am infomertial and had me curious as to what was in the product. Try getting a full ingredients list, impossible! If they are not going to tell you what's in the product, don't use it! By the way, "Rejuvatin" is not an ingredient. I used a product on my eyes once that claimed to take away the dark circles and what I was left with was dark circles and loss of color in my eyes. Come to find out one of the main ingredients was a form of bleach. If your are looking for anti-aging, try Arbonne. The products are all pure, safe and beneficial, they don't hide the ingredients and they work.

Don't buy this rubbish. There is very little product to begin with, its expensive and it doesn't go on as it does in the commercial. Also be careful because they ship you a 'new supply' which I didn't want. This is a bit of a scam quite frankly.

So glad I read this board. Too bad about the reviews. In that it too mixed experience, not worth even trying. Thanks to all.

I bought the youthology for bags under the eyes and yes it did change them...but the bad part is the white crust ...it looks like I didn't wash my face.

The product needs some work. If they could change the formula to not crust up then it would be ok.

I have to disagree with the years old comments above. I tried this as did my husband. He has pretty bad wrinkes and bags beneath his eyes and honestly, truly, it was AMAZING what happened in 90 seconds. Literally, he looked at least 5 years younger. He's 49 and never uses sunscreen. It erased the bags and wrinkles. We were both astounded by the difference!

anon_artist nailed it!

You are absolutely right about the computer generated imagery. The commercial was running on my tv when I started checking reviews, so I was able to rewind (gotta love tivo). I checked it 3 times, and amazingly, no one blinked in 90 seconds, exactly what you said. Thanks for pointing that out! Based on this and all the other negative reviews (including additional, unsupported warranty), I think I'll take a pass. Actually my eyes look pretty good anyway.

I only wish I had done my homework BEFORE I purchased this product. I thought I wasn't applying it correctly. Now I know, it's not me...it is the product.

The product is not as great as it seems (not bad but not great. As many others have said - it is hard to apply and does not fully work. Their business practices ARE DECEPTIVE. Check out complaints on BBB if you do not believe me. They did not get my cancellation - sent another shipment and blaming me that they do not have a record of my call. I have not even received the next shipment and they are saying "too bad" you owe us more money. I suppose if you are ok with them saying that the customer must prove that they are in the right, then go for it. I have filed my complaint and am trying to raise awareness
9820anon 10 Sep 2010
i ordered this product for my dad over the phone. i was aware about getting 2 bottles in the first shipment. if i didnt return the 2nd bottle i would be auto-billed. now, i noticed a 3rd charge on my credit card. i was not told that they would continue to ship and auto-bill me products. they wont let me hear the recording to what i agreed to. do not buy....or if you do and are not satisfied...cancel the future orders even if you are not aware of them!!!!!!!!...and they wont accept the merchandise back that i havent received just because it has left the warehouse!!!!
