OK Ladies, I have to disagree. I take REALLY good care of my skin. I use copper peptides on my face for daily skin renewal (Skin Biology) & get a TCA peel (like Obagi) every 3-4 months. I've worn sunscreen on my face since my 20's & because of that, my crowsfeet & other fine wrinkles including my upper lip are very difficult to see at all. People tell my 23 yr old daughter they think I'm at least 10 years younger than I am. What I DO have are those ugly 'fat bags' beneath my eyes & loose eyelid skin that only plastic urgery can permanently remove. I've tried lots of products including Freeze 24-7 and none work as well as Youthology (and no, I'm not associated w/them in any way). 1st) Youthology works on my 'fat bags' by flattening them out COMPLETELY. BUT you MUST apply the tiniest drop (sometimes I use 1 big drop under both eyes) to absolutely clean skin and NO moisturizer at all. It works so well that I don't have to use cream concealer at all to cover my dark circles. In fact, I CAN'T use concealer on top of it & beneath my mineral makeup or the Youthology tends to 'loosen up' sooner in the day. To apply it, I start as close to the nose as possible right up next to my lower lashes and smooth it out evenly past where my crowsfeet start - then I pat the area a few times. If I've used too much, I get that white, chalky look which you can easily remove with water & a q-tip (but I just take it all off & start over). 2nd) It DOES feel a lot like egg whites, but I'm a scientist so I got out my eggs, cracked some open and tried applying the whites & they felt like they were 'pulling' but didn't do anything at all. 3rd) Customer service has been great for me! I had a problem with the 1st tube I bought - the top seemed to clog up, so I called them & spoke to this really nice customer service guy. He looked up my order and sent out another tube right away - NO QUESTIONS ASKED! I offered to return the broken tube but he said that wouldn't be necessary. I got my replacement within the same week. I'm only posting this now because I got on to look for the Youthology site to order some more & saw these comments & had to tell you my experiences. If you have horrible crowsfeet, forehead or upper lip wrinkles, my advice is to get a good superficial peel (like Obagi) at a spa or plastic or cosmetic surgeon every few months. Or if you're on a budget and you feel you can handle it, give yourself one (start with milder acids like glycolic or lactic & work up to stronger ones). You can find good peels and peel advice at REPUTABLE retailers like Makeup Artists Choice, Platinum Skin Care and my favorite Perfectpeelsolutions. Never, never, NEVER buy them on eBay - IT'S YOUR FACE, for pete's sake! And use some kind of peptide skin 'rebuilder' everyday - my favorite is SkinBiology because Dr. Pickard developed those to heal burn victims at University of California, San Francisco. They're somewhat expensive, but last a long time & your skin is visibly younger (read ALL the parts on the website -including the blog - about how to start using these without going overboard too soon). That's my 2 cents worth - I think Youthology is a great solution for certain skin problems (like fat bags) and if you have the kind of wrinkles others have complained that Youthology won't take care of ... maybe you should try some of these other suggestions so you can see a more permanent change in your skin. :) CRH
