I liked seeing all of the photos. Lesson learned? Prevention to aging is the key! Many of them could have been mistaken for being in their seventies and eighties.

Most of the them used Olay. Lesson learned. Don't use Olay.

I saw maybe 2 photos of the 20 where there was any discernable change. Maybe you can make the argument that the placebo effect boosts confidence, but I'd much rather have my confidence boosted for $10 than $80.

StriVectin is good, but I say Creme de la Mer all the way. Pricey, but worth it.

I found this article sad, scary and depressing: None of these creams, expensive or cheap, actually work. Doesn't bode well for my future face!!!!!!!!!

by CityGirl1001 Monday, August 20, 2012 at 11:33AM Report as inappropriate

Maybe it's just me, but I really can't see a difference in the before/after photos of any of these examples. I get that the user might sees a difference because they're applying the product, and they surely critique their lines and wrinkles more than anyone else. But really, I don't see any changes at all in the photos!

by NickiH85 Sunday, June 17, 2012 at 06:59PM Report as inappropriate

I really hope that either the ladies lied about their age, or the person writing the article was nice to lower the number, cause those eyes/wrinkles look good 10-15 years older. I wish each lady just had one product to test. Right eye-left eye, different light, and different facial expressions really make it impossible to tell if there's any difference at all. So the idea is great, but the way it was brought to life can be improved

eye cream... LOVE IT! :)

by MissXu Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 10:55PM Report as inappropriate

Some of the after photos were worse than the before. Sad that the creams don't do much. Clinique all about eyes roller works well for puffiness but as far as creams go I use whatever i have. Good article.

I think it's over rated..

So, this demonstrates that we pay a lot of money for eye (skin) care for nothing.

by TinkerBelles Friday, March 30, 2012 at 02:21AM Report as inappropriate

Eye creams can be sooo expensive for not getting a lot of results from them;

by beautybody Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 10:29PM Report as inappropriate

Not At All Impressed-when you're 20's to a cream is definitely a good thing to use-starting in the 30's a must-after that I don't believe creams will help much but we will still use them-the real answer is an eyelid lift and even fat injections under the eye. That should do it-but make sure you find the right doctor.

by BlondeBabe Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 12:49PM Report as inappropriate

This was very interesting. Some of the "after" pictures look even worse than the "before" Eye creams, what a rip off!!!

by hananoire Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 02:04PM Report as inappropriate

I saw a mild improvement in a couple of pictures but for the most part, none of the products gave dramatic results.

by powerwoman033 Sunday, March 18, 2012 at 10:48PM Report as inappropriate

wow this was really dissappointing seeing that most of these women didn't get a signifigant result. like a few others suggested, i'd like to see more trials like this, but make them blind studies so the participants don't know what products they're using.

by rebecca_moran_watson Monday, February 13, 2012 at 09:36PM Report as inappropriate

Disappointing as it seemed there was n difference in any of the products or if there was it was too slight. I agree that photos often dont reflect exactly due to differences so maybe thats part of the problem. Doesnt encourage running out to spend money on them

Love to see products in action!

by shandimessmer Sunday, February 5, 2012 at 12:03PM Report as inappropriate

I thought this was an excellent article! I hope there are more to come that test even more brands!!!

by missoconee Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 06:03PM Report as inappropriate

This should have been a double-blind test so that the reviewers didn't know which products they were using. Branding has a significant influence on our perception of products.

I agree with the other commenters, there isn't much change to be seen.

I dont se much difference... so maybe they are not as good as they claim

I didn't really see any differences. Maybe only slightly with the Lancome product.

One product I use for puffiness is Preparation H. Yes, that's right the hemorrhoidal cream. It shrinks swelling in hemorroids...I use it before bed and wake up without puffiness. Try it it. For lines keep you skin hydrated.

by valentinedeb Friday, July 8, 2011 at 12:14PM Report as inappropriate

Hmmmmmmmm, I might have to try a few of these.

by MissPurple Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 11:27AM Report as inappropriate

Of course cream arent going to take away the wrinkles. Its about aging gracefully and starting at a young age. My mother has always applied creams on her face and her eyes. My mother is 52 and has almost no wrinkles at all. If your young start already. Dont smoke cigarette's and drink lots of water.

by Tink7300 Monday, July 4, 2011 at 02:13PM Report as inappropriate

I'm in the 70's and I know from experience that there is NO cream that is going to take away wrinkles or puffiness on any part of your face. The only way is through plastic surgery, laser treatments or other treatments obtained in a doctor's office. Don't waste your money on any cream, no matter what the hype!

I found an eye cream that I like: Solutions Vibes Wake Up Eye Roller by AVON

by anna_mushlin_sarkissian Monday, June 13, 2011 at 07:03PM Report as inappropriate

I don't know. Seemed like a lot of changes in light exposure, and frankly, no one looked remarkably different. My biggest facial problem is under-eye puffiness, and I've spent way too much money trying to fix them. Thanks TB, for showing which products NOT

by miriamhyde Friday, June 10, 2011 at 10:46PM Report as inappropriate

So nothing actually works. Thats great considering how much I spend on eye creams

Other than the lighting, there is no difference.

Sadly, I didn't see much of a difference between the before/after shots. I'll stick with Clinique's All About Eyes for now and pretend that it's doing something....

by js3200 Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at 12:21AM Report as inappropriate

I wish you had broadened the number of product comparisons. It would have been nice to see at least ONE eye cream - at any price - that seemed to work consistently! However, the before and after photos were really helpful.

by Jewelrydesigner Monday, March 7, 2011 at 01:29PM Report as inappropriate

I would like to see it eye cream actually worked

by LittleBunny Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 08:56PM Report as inappropriate

interesting, I'm glad this study was conducted, though the results seemed mixed I'm definately going to buy some StriVectin, and see if it works for my eyes.

by Bon_Bon Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 06:54PM Report as inappropriate

Eye cream is so tricky & expensive! I have just been using virgin coconut oil to hydrate my under eye area instead and it is just as effective as every other cream I have tried.

I suppose different brands will work differently on different people, but it does appear the more pricier products did a better job

by qtxox143 Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 07:58AM Report as inappropriate

Cannot tell the difference in the before and after, why not just say which is the better one like before and after not the right side is the left eye and visa versa. No help at all

I don’t see any difference in the before and after.

I agree! Unless the before and after pictures are lit exactly the same, you can't make an honest comparison. What a waste.
