Youthology works?

My basic rule: I don't put anything ON or IN my body unless I know what the ingredients are. Why? Because some ingredients are quite bad for you. Mineral oil, for example, is very bad for women to use (far beyond the comedogenic properties). Parabens are implicated in cancers due to possible estrogenic action, but are still found in most cheap cosmetics. Ingredients are not to be found on the website. Are they on the product containers? WHY on earth would anyone put something close to their eyes, not knowing what is in that substance?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! After seeing the infomercial, I was tempted to purchase this product, however, after reading all of the comments I will definitely stay away from this one. As a side note, the majority of the positive comments seem to use all the catch phrases and buzz words used in advertising, and are oh-so-clever about throwing in a few misspelled words to make them sound more 'real.' Hilarious.

Here are the ingredients for the eye serum, posted on hsn.com: 90 Second Eye Serum 30 Day Supply Water, Sodium Silicate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Propylene Glycol, Echinacea Angustifolia (Coneflower) Extract, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Cellulose Gum, Iron Oxide. The silicates are the same ingredients that Serious Skin Care's Inst-A-Tox uses. They are highly alkaline minerals that cause the skin to swell up, and leave the whitish film behind. The cellulose gum "glues" the lift in place. And I do not trust Propylene Glycol in any product, especially not one around the eyes.

I too fell for the Youthology infomercial, which is surprising to me, because I'm the biggest skeptic of informercials and never believe them or even watch them. Unfortunately, I didn't find this website until after I decided to try the product. For some reason I thought this eye serum would do what it claimed, because I used to use an eye cream by Mary Kay (Triple Action Eye Enhancer) that did a similar thing. It temporarily firmed the skin under the eye and reduced the appearance of bags, but it was discontinued, and I have been trying to find something to replace it ever since. If I hadn't had this previous experience with the MK eye cream, I probably wouldn't have believed the Youthology claims at all. When I received my Youthology eye serum, I applied it as directed but didn't really notice a difference. So the next time I tried it, I only applied it under my right eye to see if there would be a noticeable difference between my eyes. After waiting several minutes, I could see absolutely no difference between the two eyes, even though I could feel the tightening. Then I tried to create the "pinched" look on the left, untreated eye they warn you about in the instructions if you don't apply it evenly. I put a small amount in the middle of the under-eye area and did not smooth it out entirely, leaving the skin toward the inside and outside untouched. That didn't work either. No pinching, puckering, or tightening of baggy skin. At this point, I call customer service to get my return authorization number because my feeling is that if you wait 30 or 60 days like they say you can, you will be less likely to get your money back. I was given a number and instructions for returning it (after being offered the $10 off for continuing to try it like someone else posted), but I swear the guy was laughing. He was trying to disguise it, but I could tell, and I almost said something, but let it go. I'm going to be returning this product with a tracking method and I'm also going to contact my credit card company to dispute the charges in case they don't give me a prompt refund. I just wish I'd looked up reviews before and not after I bought it....

When the poster wrote that Youthology Eye Serum leaves a residue, it too, like another poster, reminded me of Sudden Change Eye junk. I used the latter and it is exactly like described: as if you have dried, crusty egg whites under your eyes. When mixed with makeup, it gets really ugly, messy and looks to other people like you have dried eye crud or sleep around your eyes. Sudden Change is about $10, so if you're going for the instant wrinkle and puff remover, and they both leave the icky residue, you'd be better off saving your dough and going for Sudden Change, which is available at drug stores, Wal Mart, etc.

It's not worth the money. I paid for unordered extras. The serum quantity is minuscule. It leaves flaky white crust around the eyes on dark skin, which looks hideous. Save yourself the hassle of returning it.

If this product worked like they say, nobody would need a plastic surgeon. I think anybody would say anything to make money off the consumer. therefore I give this product a 0.

If you have never tried this product, how can you judge just from instincts?

The best thing to do for puffy eyes is avoid salt.
