Product review- Eye Tuck from Skin Doctors

The first time when I heard about Eye Tuck it was in March, 2012 on a forum for men. Andrew Petrou (Skin Doctors) highly recommended this eye cream there to everyone who has wrinkles or fine lines, so I decided to dig a bit deeper in this product.

It's a very expensive eye cream, so you may think it should work. Well, not quite. As I mentioned in my other post, price generally has nothing to do whatsoever with effectiveness.

But back to the subject. I was so excited about this eye cream, because puffy eyes and dark circles are a common problem among men and women.

As a professional esthetician I always need to be up-to-date about these things and new treatments.

Eye care specialist Andrew Petrou looks like someone who knows a lot about skin care.

This is why I don't understand why he finds this product effective? I started to have a tickling feeling that it's again just about money and there is nothing behind the big words.

Product review - Clarins eye contour gel

After my previous post, Anti aging creams: are they effective or not it's time to write about an eye contour gel.

What should we know about Clarins?

I found these claims on their official site:

• They were the first french company in 1987 to ban animal testing and has also banned the use of cellular extracts of animal origin since 1991
• Clarins set a global objective to reduce greenhouse gases by 20% by the year 2012.
• The safe use of every Clarins product is at the center of the Laboratory’s concerns.
• Clarins prefers to use raw plant ingredients, natural ingredients from organic farming practices, and plants grown locally or from a Fair Trade program
• Overall weight and volume is reduced, recyclable material is reused, new printing techniques are always being investigated
• Today, if given a choice between a synthetic ingredient and its plant-derived equivalent, we always choose the plant
• etc

It sounds so amazing, doesn't it? A company who puts their consumer's interest into the first place, uses plant-derived equivalent, raw plant ingredient and natural ingredients from organic farming practices is rare treasure lately.

Anti-aging creams: Are they effective or not?

Oh, those fine lines and wrinkles...When they occur, we know that our teenage years are over forever.

And every women (and men too actually) who care about her skin, start to look for anti-aging creams in that hope that they can stop and reverse the aging process.

We can find countless anti-aging creams on the market which promise for us almost eternal youth.

But what's the truth? Are they really effective or are we wasting our money? Which one is better: the cheaper or the expensive one?

Before I start to answer these questions, let me explain some things about wrinkles.
