Eyevive Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Eyevive is a topical solution used to treat the effects of aging around the delicate eye area. According to the product website, Eyevive can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and diminish the appearance of under eye bags, puffiness and dark circles, as well as hydrate and smooth the skin and prevent further aging from occurring. The product is offered by Dermastetics and is sold on the product website. We were unable to find much information or an online presence for Dermastetics. We believe professional, reputable companies are easily accessible through Internet channels and we are concerned when companies do not choose to have an official company website.

The product website does provide numerous customer testimonials and compelling before and after photos. The company also offers a 30-day money back guarantee and there are discounts available for multiple purchases. The company also provides an opportunity to save by purchasing other products along with the Eyevive that will supposedly work well in combination with the eye cream. We are pleased to see that the product website discloses a complete ingredient list for Eyevive, along with some basic information about how and why the included ingredients will work as claimed.

Product Details

The ingredients in Eyevive include: Aqua (Water), Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Trimethysiloxysilicate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Ceteareth-20, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract, Isododecane, Tridecyl Stearate, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate, Dimethicone PEG -7 Phosphate, Propylene Glycol Dipelargonate, Hydrolyzed Casein, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Propylene Glycol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Hydroxyethycellulose, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Tocopheryl Acetate, Squalane, (Steareth-20, Chrysin, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 - ingredients used in Haloxyl), Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-7, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera Gel), Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Algae Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Sodium PCA, Betaine, Sorbitol, Glycine, Alanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Arginine, Lysine, Glutamic Acid.

This is a very long list of ingredients for a single product, leading us to wonder about the potency of the formula. We prefer to see formulas use a few select ingredients that are proven in order to get the desired results. We are pleased to see Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (matrixyl) and sodium hyaluronate in the formula, since these are proven anti-aging ingredients. However, we have to wonder if they can really do what they are designed to do with so many other substances, including parabens, complicating the formula.

The Good

  • Eyevive comes with a money back guarantee.
  • The company provides a complete ingredient list and customer testimonials.

The Bad

  • The formula is missing some key anti-aging ingredients.
  • The long ingredient list makes us wonder about the potency of the formula.
  • There does not seem to be an online presence for the company.
  • Product contains potentially irritating parabens.
  • Obviously, this product is meant to treat wrinkles around the eyes only, and will do little for other areas of the face.

The Bottom Line

The eyes are often the first spot to indicate our age, so an eye cream might be a good choice for some customers. However, the long ingredient list and lack of company information online makes us wonder if customers shouldn't look elsewhere for their eye care needs.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
