I have been having really good luck with NCN Skincare DNA Serum used around my eyes twice a day. I have used so many different eye creams (including the new Cerave which did absolutely nothing for me other than moisturize) and the DNA serum is the first product I've used that made a very noticeable difference. The 1 ounce sample bottle costs $26, but will last forever as you only need a little. I use my regular facial moisturizer over it at night if the skin around my eyes looks/feels dry.

cassiem, are you familiar with the controversy regarding the main ingredient in the DNA serum? I came across a lot of chatter regarding not just its efficacy but also regarding possibly dangerous adverse effects.

Some of the conversation includes references to Nanci's product. Most of what I was reading is about three years old, so I don't know how current it is. I believe the main site I was reading was the forum on essentialdayspa.

I'm posting this not because I know one way or another but just to alert you. If you are at all interested, I can give you the exact links. If you're not, I totally understand.

Another vote for CeraVe Eye Cream. I purchased this because of all the positive reviews and I agree it is really good and reasonably priced. Haven't tried Mad Hippie yet.

SQ3, do you mean there are questions about all of Nanci's products?

No, absolutely not, IR136. When I said that some of the conversation references Nanci's product, I was speaking only of the product in question, which is the DNA serum. The threads on essentialdayspa were solely about the ingredient used.

Burt's Bees has a new product called Brightening eye cream. Go to their website & read the description. $3 off right now. I currently am using acure organics eye cream. It keeps the eye area hydrated but I have not noticed anything else except diminishing the look of fine lines.

What is the main ingredient? Guess I could go to the site myself and look. I'm going to take an educated guess and say DMAE or one of the algaes before I go look.

Well, I'm wrong. Hmmm, Juvinity. Where have I been? First I'm hearing about this one.

Hi, BC. Juvinity is a trade name for a mixture of Geranylgeranylisopropanol and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. It's the former ingredient that is in question.

It is related to Renovage, which used to be called Teprenone.

All very confusing due to trade names.

Geez, no kidding. I know I should do the research myself and I will but what is your take?

Bella. Keep in mind that the need for eye cream is a giant marketing myth. Try a good facial serum, without fragrance, with sunscreen which is missing (and necessary) in your eye product for total efficacy.
