I know over the years I have tried a zillion eye products. Many of them irritate my eyes. My poor contact lens have gotten blamed for a lot of stuff that turns out was caused by eye creams. I have stainless steel skin and can put anything on it – but my eyes are oh-so sensitive. Many products will make them burn and sting right away. Others cause them to swell or even turn red.

On the other hand, I’m not getting any younger and like all of us, I guess, my eyes are leading the way in showing signs of aging.  I have been playing around with Beauticontrol products, off and on, for about a year and a half, I guess.

For the last several months, I haven’t been doing a very good job of taking care of my skin and well, it shows.  Especially around the eyes, I hear they are the first thing to go .

I realized that the one thing I had been pretty much consistently using until I ran out was Beauticontrol’s Firming Eye Serum.  I knew the stuff was good.  Now I know just how good and have declared my lifelong devotion.  It really is amazing.  I ran out of it and did without for a month or so.  My under eye area looked terrible.  When I reordered it and began to use it again, I experienced rapid improvement.  It provides temporary as well as cumulative benefits.  This stuff is good.  What I didn’t mention in the page I wrote about it (the link is below) is that it has also smoothed out my upper lip area – where I was starting to see those fine vertical lines.  When I get done with my eyes, I rub whatever is left on my finger on my upper lip.

There is also a cream version of this little miracle for your face that works very well.  However, because clogged and congested pores are a constant problem for me, I generally stay away from creams.  I am going to start experimenting with this one though.  They have a neck cream version as well that is next on my list to check out.

While I was blissfully declaring my undying devotion to this firming eye serum and declared it a Holy Grail skin care item for me (my first, I think), I realized that Beauticontrol has created a rather fabulous complete eye treatment regimen that is perfect for those of us who have moved on to “advanced anti-aging skin care”.  I honestly don’t know of any other brand that has such a complete and effective offering.  For me, at least, this regimen works wonders around my eye area.  Plus no irritation.

This is my regimen:

Step One:

I use this serum twice a day.  It doesn’t take a full pump, just a half a pump.  You can use it on your eyelids as well.  Use this first, because it is lighter than than the other products.

Beauticontrol Firiming Eye Serum is on my very, very short list of Holy Grail Skin Care Products. Beauticontrol Consultants call it Elmer’s Glue for your eyes – it is all that and more… [Read More]

Step Two:

You only use these once a day at night. Let your serum soak in first and then apply these. I also apply it to my eyelids and upper lip. (That is not recommended by Beauticontrol, so do so at your own risk – I haven’t had any issues.)

Beauticontrol Retinol Capsules contain individual doses of retinol and peptides for the eye area. The active ingredients are micro-encapsulated to make them time released, which not only deceases the risk of sensitivity but also makes it more effective because it works longer. Capsules not only keep the product fresh until you use them, they also eliminate waste or using too much product…[Read More]

Step Three:

Next comes their new eye cream.  This stuff is good – wonderfully formulated & I forgot to add on the info page I did that it is also oil-free.

Beauticontrol Restructuring Eye Cream has become one of my very favorite eye creams. It has all of the most important skin care ingredients we need and does not ahve the ones that we want to avoid, like parabens, mineral oil….[Read More]

Step Four:

This is optional.  I was so excited when they introduced this concealer with the same TFF technology a few months ago, I couldn’t wait to try it.

I am using it now and I really like it. If you have problems with concealer settling into the fine lines under your eyes, give this one a try. The key to getting a great look with this concealer is to pat it on, instead of rub it. It just takes a tiny, tiny bit. A tube will last forever and only cost $15. I am loving it.

While these products are exactly cheap, they are reasonably priced – especially when you factor in their effectiveness. All of them (except the capsules, which are does controlled) last me a long time. I think the concealer may last forever…

ANSR Light Therapy is a hand held device that provides light therapy to benefit the skin. There is a blue beam for anti-acne and a red beam for anti-aging treatments.

I have been fascinated with this device for a while. Light therapy is a leading edge therapy that is being used for everything from cancer treatments to teeth whitening. Different colors of light stimulate and effect the cells in different ways.

The ANSR Beam blue light kills acne causing bacteria and stimulates collagen. The red light works deeper to stimulate collagen and new cell growth. Both used together will reduce pore size, improve the overall health and quality, texture and tone of the skin and diminish fine lines and wrinkles.

The device uses an LED light that doesn’t get warm and it offers a real alternative to more invasive therapies.

IOMySkin is a fabulous new skin care line by the direct sales company isXperia. The first time I was introduced to this product line I was blown away because they contain all of the active and advanced ingredients we want and none of the ingredients we are all trying to avoid. There are no parabens, no sulfates, no mineral oil, no additives and no fillers in any of their skin care products.

I have had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with the founder and CEO of isXperia on several occasions. The company’s primary products are nutritional supplements. When he and his wife were developing the company, they wanted to include a skin care line but could not find one that lived up to the high standards they wanted to maintain for their products.

I decided to try Beauticontrol Retinol Serum after reading so many positive reviews, especially from industry experts. I have been using it for about a month, I am seeing a big improvement in my skin – especially in my pore size – my pores have gone from enlarged to invisible. I have also had clogged or congested pores around my mouth & chin and they are slowly opening and clearing up.

I have researched dozens (feels like hundreds) of the top rated retinol products – the ingredients, user and industry expert reviews. I have personally tried most of them for extended periods of time. Here are my top 3 recommendations:

	Alpha Hydrox Retinol ResQ $15	Beauticontrol Regeneration Overnight Retinol Recovery Serum $45	Prescriptives Skin Renewal Cream $60
	0.15% Retinol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and an anti-irritant	0.4% Retinol, Vitamin E, Watermelon Fruit Extract, Algae Extract, Green Tea Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Allantoin, Squalane	Retinol, Peptides, Soy Protein, St. Paul’s Wort, Mulberry & Grape Extracts, Vitamin E, Squalane
	Alpha Hydrox Retinol ResQ is a great inexpensive retinol, arguably the best of the inexpensive retinol products. Because it is a thick cream, it is best for normal to dry skin that is not prone to acne or blemishes. This is almost identical to as philosophy’s help me & Natural Advantage by Jane Seymour except this one has added Vitamin A & C & is one-third of the price!	This is the product I am currently using. I have oiler acne prone skin with congested pores – this is a silky lightweight serum that I prefer to the heavier creams. The retinol is also “encapsulated” – which means i is time-released and hopefully stays active on the skin for a longer period of time. I really prefer this to all the other creams and serums that I have tried.	This is a thicker cream that is best for normal to dry skin – it can also replace a moisturizer unless you have extremely dry skin. This is also micro-encapsulated – I do not know the retinol percentage, but it is very highly rated by users and industry experts.
