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…

I am a big fan of using capsules for skin care ingredients.  You know the product is fresh, you use the correct amount and you are adding the active ingredient you want without a bunch of other stuff.  As someone who breaks out very easily, I can’t layer moisturizing products on my skin.

Philosophy has a new capsule with Hyaluronic Acid & Peptides and it is getting great reviews.  It is a bit expensive (let’s hope for a kit soon), but what a terrific way to add these two anti-aging products to your skin care regimen.  I am already using and enjoying the philosophy retinol capsules.

This has Pentapeptide, which is the same tpe of peptide found in philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Serum, philosophy Save Me and philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough SPF 20.

Here are the Ingredients: Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Myristoyl Pentapeptide 8, Myristoyl Tetrapeptide 8, Methyl Methacrylate/Glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol.

Hyaluronic Acid provides and promotes moisture to the skin.  It can draw moisture under the skin and “plump” it out (temporarily).  If you are using this product to diminish the apprerance of fine lines and wrinkles, it should be used in the AM before your moisurizer, sunscreen, makeup.  The directions from philosophy say to apply it to clean, dry skin.

philosophy says that, according to their study, “100% found the product increased their skin smoothness, 100% found the product increased their skin softness and 75% found that they had a more even skin tone.”

I haven’t tried it yet, but plan to in the near future.  If you have tried it, please share your review either in the comments here or at Philosophy Skin Care Reviews.
