Opti-mologist Review

 Updated On:

Overview

A popular aspect of countless skin care and beauty lines these days is the almighty eye cream. Take Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers, for example. This is an under-eye treatment offered by Cosmedicine, a skin care company that claims to offer the most powerful remedies available without a dermatologist’s prescription. 0.5 ounces of this eye cream sells via the official website for $45. Essentially this topical product aims to combat dark circles, soften the eye area, minimize fine lines, battle free radical damage, hydrate, and reduce under-eye puffiness.

Like most eye creams, serums and gels, Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers is meant to be applied morning and night to cleansed skin. The official website directs that a pea-sized amount should be gently applied to the under-eye area with a fingertip. The primary active ingredient found in this product is Dimethicone (protects the delicate eye skin from irritants). Naturally this Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers is geared primarily toward women, and can be applied after a facial moisturizer, but before makeup. This brand additionally provides skin care treatments like Serums, Oil Control Products, Cleansers, Moisturizers, Sun Protection, Exfoliators, and Tints. It appears that all Cosmedicine products can be attained through the official website.

The Good

  • A full list of ingredients for Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers is provided on the website.
  • Clinical trials are posted on the official website as support for this under-eye cream.

The Bad

  • A mere 0.5-ounce tube of Opti-mologist Eye Cream sells for $45.
  • Actual consumer testimonials are not offered on the website to support Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers.
  • It doesn’t appear that a refund policy is provided for this treatment.

The Bottom Line

In the vast market of under-eye treatments, Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers is merely one in the masses that does little to stand out one way or the other. While it’s nice to see that real clinical evidence is presented on the official website for this topical product, the same can be said about many other “main-stream” under-eye creams and serums. In the end, it’s wise to do some serious shopping around before simply selecting a treatment like Opti-mologist Eye Cream. Especially since this product doesn’t appear to come with a satisfaction guarantee.

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.
