I, like so many of us, had been searching for years for the perfect eye cream--to no avail. I have extremely fair skin that can be quite sensitive, and I needed an eye treatment that could--without causing irritation--help soften the tiny lines I was beginning to see when I smiled, as well as brighten up the terrible yellowish-dark circles I'd been carrying around for years (I have environmental allergies, which makes under-eye circles even darker). I saw the marketing for L'Oreal's RevitaLift Double Eye Lift and thought I'd give it a try; boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised at the results!
There are two parts to this treatment: white "comfort cream" for under the eyes, and a red gel-cream for the lids. Within a few days, the under-eye cream had begun to make the skin in that area feel super-hydrated and the little lines were beginning to soften, while the upper-eye gel had made my lids appear tighter instantly. Within a few weeks, my dark circles were vastly improved--it was truly an amazing transformation!
Now, almost a year later, my lines are softened and I look more wide awake each day. Dark circles? Not anymore! This product is wonderful and does everything it promises to do. At an average of $16.99 per bottle, the price is right, too! The only thing I dislike is the bottle's design; while the "air-free pump" is supposed to keep the product more sanitary and is great in theory, it does not allow you to see when you are about to run out--I've run out in the middle of an application more than once, and that's pretty frustrating. But there is a way around that--I discovered that you can twist off the top portion and get to the product that's left, and that'll hold you for a day or two til you can re-stock. Not a huge problem in the end, but if L'Oreal could fix this obvious design flaw, it would make RevitaLift Double Eye Lift darn near perfect!
I'm never without this product, and I recommend it very, very highly. November 29, 2007, 10:41 am

I am a super fussy person when it comes to beauty products and I have tried too many to name. From very expensive to the very cheap. After deciding to try this on a whim, it was on sale, I couldn't believe how fast I could see results around my eye area. I love this product and will use it as long as it stays on the market!!!!

I've been using this for over 2 weeks now,but don't see an improvement.
Maybe I need to use it longer,but so far the bags/wrinkles under my eyes haven't changed at all.
There may be a slight improvement to the upper-eyelid area.
***I just read that L'Oreal uses nano technology in this product-this is a new process & they can't control where the nanos go! So,please-use with extreme caution! May 6, 2008, 1:56 pm

I am a 53 year old woman, who has aged very well. I have found however that most anti age products seam to have models and target women in their 30s. This is quite a joke, after all how many wrinkles and sags can they have at that age? I recently broke down and bought the new L'Oreal Paris Advanced Revitalift Double Eye Lift. After using it for well over a month I saw absolutely no visible difference. I have just begun to have some light eye lid sagging and fine lines. Most people would not even notice it however, I do. But as I said it was a waste of money. And I must say the hassle of having to apply two separate creams to the eyes was a pain. I also ran out of one long before the other. Not a good product.
