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?

I think the youthology sound alot like freeze 24/7 and serious skin care insta tox...they do the same....they freeze areas on the face and if you put too much you see a white residue...so forget it...i was thinking it wasn't a freeze thing...im surprised because it doesn't have gaba in it which it what makes things freeze in place temporarily.

I, too saw the informercial for 'Youthology' but as tempting as the claims are, I will NOT be buying any, and here's why: 1. I am a computer artist, and the main reason I wanted to investigate this product online is because the informercial really ticked me off: (a) Some of the 'before' and after' photos of the product "working" on the models totally "morph" into each other! It's not a clean fade out from one shot to the next, but that CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) effect used to turn a guy into a tiger or whatever... which is 100% computer trickery. Why not just show the 2 photos without the computer animation connecting them? (b) The 'time lapse' scenes where the 'live' women are waiting for the product to work? When they 'play back' the effect of the product "working before your eyes," the women's eyes do not blink once! I think most people have seen time lapse photography and video, it looks jerky and weird, not a smooth transition like the "proof it works" video in the 'Youthology' commercial. Can you sit without blinking for 90 seconds? Me neither. So, yeah... more CGI trickery. -- The whole informercial has that convincing "live TV" quality to it, but it's full of computer effects (if you know how to look for them.) It does not reflect well on the product or the company that they would use visual tricks like this, it's dishonest advertising and proof enough for me that consumers should be skeptical of giving $100+ dollars a month to a company that can't show the effects of their product truthfully. 2. After reading numerous websites for info on this stuff, I've come to the conclusion that 'Youthology' is like a 'tightening film' that temporarily pulls the skin tight, but will crack and flake as soon as you move any facial muscles. Products like this have been around forever, this is the 'same old thing' just repackaged for a new generation. Your great-grandma probably did the same thing with egg whites. I didn't watch the whole 3 hours or whatever of the informercial, but from what I did see, never once did they mention any cumulative effects, which only supports this theory.

Anon: really interesting insights. Sadly I'll need to look for real results. Anyone got some suggestions for a wrinkle cream that **really** works

I have fatty deposit under my eye and I was surfing the web to see if there was a solution to my eye worries. I ended up on youthology.com. It looked inticing (sp?). Thank goodness I googled "youthology eye serum review" and found this website. Some of the comments that raved about the product seemed like they were fake! Did you notice that those comments had a infomercial tone to it? they were trying to convince us to buy there crappy product. I might just save up and get my fat deposit removed surgically. that will be the most effective way to get rid of it.

But you almost bought it? Youthology seems no different from other wrinkle cream claims no? If you believe in it that's all that matters some times.

I am the queen of infomercials, I saw this too of TV last night & I couldn't wait to rush onto my computer & get it..But, something told me to read reviews first, rather than just on impluse buy the product. What also had me wondering, as with the comment a few above mine, is ...These women do not blink !! How can you not blink for 90 seconds..?? I decided after reading these comments to save my money. Thanks ladies !

I, too, was ready to run and order during the infomercial, but decided to check the reviews first. Thanks for the heads up on this product and for saving me money and, most of all, disappointment that I purchased a product that won't deliver as promised! Thanks!!

I just saw the infomercial for the first time, thinking of trying it, but wanted to read about it before shelling out $40 bucks. Sounds to me like this stuff is the same as Sudden Change,which I buy at the drugstore for $8 bucks. Yes, if you use too much it gets white, and a little flakey, but you don't need much. It DOES make the bags under my eyes disappear, and it also diminishes the fine lines around my eyes. So, I think I will save $32 and keep using the Sudden Change. And if I run out, egg whites do the same thing in a pinch, but it's a little goopy and I don't want to smell like an egg!
