Eastern Experiments: OLAY Regenerist Eye-Lifting Serum

OLAY
Regenerist
Eye-Lifting Serum

Visibly lifts, smooths and brightens the entire eye area for firm eyelids, smooth corners and even-tone under eyes.

The OLAY Regenerist line introduces the amino peptide complex which provides skincare at the cellular level. It claims to produce results like as if you had laser surgery. The amino peptide complex hydrates to firm and visibly lift skin around the entire eye area.

There are two things that came out notable from my experience with the Eye-Lifting Serum. One, consistency is light and smooth enough that you can apply it day or night. Upside is that you can apply this skin care product anytime and as frequent as you need or want to. Downside, a 15ml tube won’t last you very long. And two, the light formula is workable even under makeup. I can’t say it’s a good primer but since it’s easily absorbed by the skin, applying makeup over it didn’t cause any problems.

Suggested Application: Use morning and evening, apply on cleansed skin. Place small dots around the eye area - under eyes, outer corners, eyelids - and smooth in until thoroughly absorbed.

What the Eye-Lifting Serum looks like:

Of all the eye creams (serum for this matter) I’ve tried, this one will definitely NOT take home the prize. I admit that I’d choose the Nivea Visage DNAge Cell Renewal eye cream over this eye serum.

Though it’s true that the skin around my eyes is “velvety” smoother, it still lacks the firmness that I had expected. This is after using the product for more than a couple of weeks. It did even out the tone, thus, making it look brighter but I have problems with puffiness under the eyes and am experiencing fine lines (laugh lines) in which the serum didn’t help me out. Still haven’t finished my tube yet so there’s still room to see if it’ll work down the road.

My aunt, who came from Canada, is a huge Regenerist fan, though. She believes that it’s perfect for women her age (she’s in her early 50s) and Total Effects are for women in their 30s. Does this mean I should really look into the other line? My mum (in her 60s) just started using Regenerist so it will take a while before we can see notable results.
