Right eye (appears left): Dove Pro-Age Eye Treatment, SPF 8, $11.99
Lancôme review: "I normally use Lancôme products, so I may be a bit biased. This cream felt very silky and stayed moist longer than the Dove. It had a light texture and blended well with eye makeup and foundation. I also preferred the Lancôme scent to the Dove."
Dove review: "This felt like any other cream or lotion with a light texture. It dried faster than the Lancôme and also blended well with makeup. Although it claimed to be fragrance-free, it had a bit of a plastic smell."
Results: "Both products fell short of their promises. I noticed no change in skin around either eye."

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
