Neocutis Lumiere for crepey eyelids

I'm 51 and I started to get wrinkles around my eyes when I was in my mid-30s. I've tried eye creams in the past with limited degrees of success. When I had the chance to try the neocutis lumiere, I was hopeful that formulations have improved since my last eye cream investment (I subscribe to a monthly beauty box and usually just try out whatever eye cream sample brand I'm sent). I also typically get a bit of Botox applied to my crows feet to keep things in check, so my main eye complaint is the crepey skin.

Lumiere is an eye cream that is supposed to use growth factors to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, puffiness, and under eye darkness. The key ingredients listed are psp growth factors, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, glycyrrhetinic acid, caffeine, bisabolol, and vitamin C.

Standard application is morning and evening on skin that has been freshly cleansed. I started the treatment Monday evening and so far I've been pretty impressed. I'm not sure if I've used product with caffeine before - but something in this formulation definitely makes me look more awake. It also smoothes the skin around my eyes so my makeup applies more consistently. I was also pleased that it has not triggered any irritation or itchiness that I sometimes get with other products in the eye area.

I'm just a couple days in and I'm hoping benefits of usage are cumulative!

I received this complimentary treatment through the RealSelf Insider program.

I've been using the Lumiere for a week 2x a day and I'm still pleased with the results. I think my eyes have a more awake look and the skintone in my under eye area has improved (less purple looking). My upper eyelid skin still looks a bit crepey after I cleanse, but everything smooths out and perks up once I apply the cream. Still no irritation or itching in my eye area. Very happy with the results so far! Honestly the only downside will be adding a spendier product than I typically use to my regimen.

I’ve continued using the lumiere regularly 2x a day. Now it definitely doesn’t achieve plastic surgery level improvement, but I feel it has really helped the appearance of the skin around my eyes. I had a lot of red/purple discoloration and since using I feel it is far less noticeable. I still look a bit crepey on my upper lids right after waking in the morning or washing my face, but when it is applied my skin looks smoother, brighter, and my makeup applies more evenly.

I’m cheap when it comes to product so it took me awhile to get to a worth it rating. However, the .5 oz jar I have lasts a long time and I really have had much better results than with products I’ve used in the past.
