DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge rescue & protect eye balm $48 Vs.



These reviews are based on my opinion of these products only.


DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge rescue & protect eye balm Description:

Wrinkle Revenge rescue & protect eye balm contains the most active generation of amino acid peptides, along with potent antioxidants white tea, pomegranate and grape seed extracts, as well as components to restore the ceramide barrier lost as skin ages. Hydration is restored without oiliness, inflammation is visibly decreased and dark circles fade. Elasticity is heightened and tone is reestablished.

When you cut yourself, collagen fibers are broken within the dermis. The end portion of the injured collagen fiber is composed of a chain of very specific amino acid peptides which send a chemical message to fibroblasts (collagen producing cells), making them return to repair the wound. This is called chemotaxis.

These amino acid peptides are of the same end fragment that send out the distress signal to fibroblasts, chemically signaling skin to become firmer.

Collagen destruction takes place as we age; 1% of skin's collagen is lost each year after the age of 40. At 20, you maintain skin firmness, keeping fibroblasts in place and producing lots of skin firming collagen. At 45, not only are critical collagen levels lost, but the fibroblasts that are still present simply do not work as well as they used to.

Wrinkle Revenge employs a sophisticated complex of ingredients to visibly improve the appearance of puffiness and dark circles along with addressing skin firmness & diminishing fine lines:

Amino Acid Peptide Complex - Blend of the newest generation of amino acid peptides, powerful antioxidants and hydrating agents
Caffeine - Rapidly shrinks bags due to fluid build-up
Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone - Reduces leakiness of blood vessels without the irritation often associated with Vitamin K when used near eyes
White tea - Potent antioxidant to calm and soothe the skin
Saccharomyces Lysate (Tissue Respiratory Factor) - Powerful depuffing agent
Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) - Antioxidant

Dermatologist Tested & Approved : Ophthalmologist Tested & Approved : Non Comedogenic : Non Irritating : Allergy Tested : Fragrance Free : Dye Free : No Animal Testing



My Description:
This is an excellent Eye cream. Not only does it treat all under eye concerns such as puffiness,fine lines and wrinkles, and dark circles, it also only retails for $48 bucks. Which is amazing. Let me explain why.
This is one of the few eye creams that can be used not only under the eye but also on the lid. News flash people that's awesome. Most eye creams can only be used under the eyes!

So here is the real Kicker...

In the first 5 ingredients there is a peptide. What is a peptide? A peptide is going to promote cell turnover which means younger healthier looking skin, Quicker! For those of you who don't understand why it matters if the Peptide is in the first 5 ingredients. Let me explain, the way ingredients are displayed are from their strength in the product. So the last ingredient in the product may mean there is very little of that ingredient actually used.

For Example: In Dr.Perricone's Eye cream Peptides are not listed until one of the LAST 5 ingredients....

Perricone retails for $95 and claims to do the same thing...




Perricone MD High Potency Eye Lift Description:
A fast absorbing intensive eye treatment that helps repair the advanced signs of aging that appear around the delicate eye area, making us look older than we are. High Potency Eye Lift actually lifts skin for a visibly transformed appearance while minimizing deep lines, wrinkles and bags under eyes with Dr. Perricone's patented anti-aging ingredients: DMAE and Phospholipids. Also formulated with Pycnogenol to address loss of elasticity and help brighten skin's appearance. Paraben-free.



My Description:
Perricone is a great eye cream. It does contain DMAE which is an excellent source (from Salmon) that will pack antioxidants and vitamins into your skin. Perricone is a great eye cream and it does brighten, lighten and tighten. This eye cream can only be used under the eyes.



All in All I would rather spend $48 bucks on an eyes cream where I know I will see results and be able to use on my lid as well then $95 on an eye cream that smells like Salmon.... Again that's just me!
