Left eye (appears right): L'Oreal Advanced Revitalift, $16.59.
Fusion Beauty review: "Putting on the Fusion Beauty eye cream is like slipping into a silk teddy. It flows right on to your skin and feels as if it's not even there at all. This feather-like substance also makes your skin taut and vibrant. It's like beauty sleep in a bottle."
L'Oréal review: "I had read in a magazine that Loréal's Revitalift cream worked well on eye puffiness, so I was excited to try it on the big bag that is camping out under my right eye. Alas, the bag seemed to grow not shrink! This might be because my allergies were worse, or perhaps my previous eye cream just worked better. In any case, I would not use this cream again. And the double pump was just double the trouble. I'd rather have one cream to smear all around."
Results: "My main problem is eye puffiness, and the Fusion Beauty cream seemed to tighten the skin in such a way to deflate the bags. With L'Oréal, there was no change in puffiness."

I liked seeing all of the photos. Lesson learned? Prevention to aging is the key! Many of them could have been mistaken for being in their seventies and eighties.

Most of the them used Olay. Lesson learned. Don't use Olay.

I saw maybe 2 photos of the 20 where there was any discernable change. Maybe you can make the argument that the placebo effect boosts confidence, but I'd much rather have my confidence boosted for $10 than $80.

StriVectin is good, but I say Creme de la Mer all the way. Pricey, but worth it.

I found this article sad, scary and depressing: None of these creams, expensive or cheap, actually work. Doesn't bode well for my future face!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's just me, but I really can't see a difference in the before/after photos of any of these examples. I get that the user might sees a difference because they're applying the product, and they surely critique their lines and wrinkles more than anyone else. But really, I don't see any changes at all in the photos!

I really hope that either the ladies lied about their age, or the person writing the article was nice to lower the number, cause those eyes/wrinkles look good 10-15 years older. I wish each lady just had one product to test. Right eye-left eye, different light, and different facial expressions really make it impossible to tell if there's any difference at all. So the idea is great, but the way it was brought to life can be improved
