Eye de-puffing miracle: La Mer The Eye Balm Intense, $145
The eye area is prone to a buildup of fluids that can lead to puffiness, but this groundbreaking eye treatment helps speed up your skin�s natural repair process to refresh your eye area. How? Deep Sea Red Algae -- the secret sauce in the new Marine De-Puff Ferment formula. What makes it so special? It re-energizes fatigued-looking skin, reduces visible irritation around the eye area and helps, well, de-puff.

LED light teeth whitener: GO SMILE Smile Whitening Light, $169
This claims to be the first, truly effective white LED light device available over-the-counter, we haven't tried it just yet, so the jury is still out on whether it works. The LED light reaches all tooth surfaces and it's said to give you visibly whiter teeth after only one treatment. In fact, it claims better results in a single 30-minute treatment than your run-of-the-mill seven to 10-day topical/gel system.

Neck tightener: La Prairie Anti-Aging Neck Cream, $200
As part of the aging process, our skin loses its essential nutrients, which results in dehydration, thinning and age spots -- especially in the neck and chin area. Also, gravity isn't forgiving to the neck and chest, and the area under our jaw is prone to accumulating fat, which can equal a double chin (gotta love getting older). This anti-aging neck cream helps by employing three R's:

Refirm: An innovative, new peptide elicits the production of elastin and promotes a skin-firming elastic fiber. Plus, a tensing agent tightens skin.

Reshape: La Prairie plays with Botanical Glaucine (a volume-reducing complex) in a new way, which breaks down existing fat cells and holds back the formation of new fat cells, reducing that double chin look.

Renew: Resurrection plant extract helps refresh cell metabolism and hydrate skin; microencapsulation technology helps reduce age spots.

Who needs a face lift if this cream actually lives up to claims, right?
