Youthology works?

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?

Youthology promises far more than you can ever get from any skin care product. They claim some secret formula called Rejuvatin is going to do the trick. I looked carefully at the youthology website and could find no evidence that it was tested under scientifically valid methodlogy where a placebo is used in comparison to the cream. unless the fda gets into the act of making these companies prove claims you should stick with ingredients that dermatologists know works, idebenone which is found in Prevage, or retinol which is found in lots of products.

Hey girls! This product does work...on me! I'm 54 and have puffiness and crows feet. My daughter put it on me last night and I was amazed. It lasted just over 8 hours. My daughter is 27 and has minimal lines. It DID NOT work for her. I will most certainly buy the product again. It's not permanent, but it's great for a special night on the town or even used daily under your make-up. Don't be skepitcal. It's worth a shot. Money back guarantee so what's to lose except a few bucks for postage. If it works on you like it does on me, you'll be thrilled. Good luck! I love it!!

Hope in Austin is on every Youthology ad website. Don't know or believe this a real person. I am a real person and have tried the product. It is terrible. I do not recommend to anyone and I promise that customer service is not good either. I tried product back in March of 07 for a week. It just left a white residue under my eyes and do not attempt with makeup--DOES NOT WORK!! I returned product on March 29, 07 and have not received my money back in my account and to top it off, I cannot get a hold of anyone to find out status of my refund that they guaranteed. I call the toll free number and no matter what time of day I call I get a recording informing me that I am calling after hours and when I try to contact via email or website customer service of the address that is on my packing label that came with product, my service provide for internet informs me that address of page has been changed--SO IN SHORT, I AM OUT $80.00...I am going to turn them in to the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and I am going to call all of my local tv stations that have solving problem segments and having them call the company or try to get in contact with the company. I may not get my money back, but I will try and connect with the public to let them know that the guarantee does not exist.

I'm seriously thinking about buying the product but, the last blog by Melaine has me thinking that I should keep looking for another product to use for mine puffyness/bags.

i am wondering if it is just like the product "sudden effects" i think thats what its called which i have tried and that leaves a white residue that looks like you have put egg whites under your eyes i am thinking this might be the same? but i have really bad black bags under my eyes the sudden effects took them away but as soon as you smile it starts to crust and looks awful.

Ladies, The commercial caught my attention as well. However, I've been searching for any kind of documentation that explains what the ingredients are and risks involved, to no avail. The FDA approves products ALL THE TIME that aren't necessarily safe, especially for long term use. When the facts aren't readily accessible, it makes me wonder, don't you agree? I've found that Clinique's under-eye creme is helpful for bags, drinking lots of water keeps the skin in decent shape and washing off all eye make-up before bed minimizes those lines around the eyes (Tyra Banks tip). And a multi-vitamin always makes me feel better and have a healthier glow. Try the energy drink Resurrect-- it has GREAT vitamins and mineral content with no sugar and the same caffine as a regular soda. Good luck everyone!

Alright... I saw the informercial had to have it. Shipping didn't take long about a week. Great! WRONG!! I opened it, put it on, leaned in to the mirror, and waited to be amazed...well, not so amazing. As it dried, I did feel it pull on my skin, but when the 90 seconds were over, I was left with this grey/white residue. This did not blend in at all with my make up. Most importantly, it tells you to apply and then make no facial expressions. After the 90 seconds were over, when I smiled or made any expression, the residue cracked and flaked off. I was left with nothing. Not happy! It did nothing. I called to return it. I stayed on hold forever. I called back was on hold about 5 minutes. A very polite customer service girl gave me all of the information to return. She said just send it back with the label provided. I told her I didn't see anything like a label. She said just write the return address then. She gave me a return number and said just write it in bold anywhere on the box. She said she would suggest tracking on the package. She said I would receive the refund in 2 weeks-30 days. I asked what happens if I don't get the refund when promised. She said call back and we will use YOUR tracking number to see if it is in our warehouse. If it is, we will refund you. It sounds like it is going to be hard to get this money back! It also sounds like unless you have a tracking number and call them back after 30 days and make them look for it, you won't get the refund. I tried to get on their website and the it is down. WOW!! Beware.
