TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.5* Why: One reader says, while this balm offers "natural benefits to the skin, natural is unfortunately not helpful when fighting dark circles from too much fun or too much stress. You may appear to see a difference due to the light diffuser ingredients, but it disappears quickly and then you are left with a sticky mess." Another woman says, "despite the hype about immortal flowers, this balm did nothing for puffiness or dark circles. It moisturized, but at the cost of REALLY watering eyes. I had to return it." One reader was "expecting more ... mostly because I have used the Immortelle Mask. The eye balm did nothing for my wrinkles, puffiness or dark circles."
Are you afraid of aging? It's OK to say yes. It's a legitimate fear for women and men today for more than one reason.
First, thanks to our deteriorating economy, Medicare budgets have been seriously slashed. And second, thanks to global warming and pollution, wrinkles, lines and spots are showing up even earlier. This second factor is why we all continuously spend a couple bucks (OK hundreds -- don't judge) on anti-aging skin care products. We're desperate to hold on to our youth.
And while some products really do reduce fine lines and diminish age spots, many of the potions and creams available are as good as a smoke screen for a bad magic show. And when these anti-aging products masquerade as our friends, making grandiose claims of turning back time on our face, but don't follow through, we get really upset.
Well, to help save you from getting hurt by these products that don't deliver, we're here to share a list of the anti-aging items our readers have tried, tested and rejected. Check them out and be sure you don't spend another dime on a lying, ahem, disappointing anti-aging skin care product ever again.
