A prominent New York City dermatologist, Dr. Soren White, told Michelyn that when you find a skincare product that works for you… stick with it.
What happens when our "hero" stops working for us, as our skin changes due to the normal (maturing) process or becomes lackluster or dull from the extra stress in our lives? How to find your next Holy Grail product? With so many products claiming the latest and greatest new technology "to turn back time", having so many choices are overwhelming. Usually I avoid heavily promoted creams, lotions and potions, doubtful that the 30 yr old spokesperson featured in the magazine ad has the same issues as I do. I ask the advice of friends or on occasion read beauty blogs targeted for women over 40; but ultimately word of mouth is how I navigate through the clutter of skincare. It happens I was looking for a new anti-aging eye serum, as I am noticing more fine lines around my eyes and from desert living and the skin around my eyes can look dehydrated.
ReVive Intensite Line Erasing Eye Serum was suggested by a friend. The Company doesn’t do marketing at all. Trained sales associates educate customers at the counters of such swanky stores as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Barney's New York. Since I don't live near any of those retailers, I did some research and learned that it is the first and only skincare line created by a plastic surgeon, Dr. Gregory Brown in 1997. Renewal Epidermal Science (RES) Technology, which includes patented and Nobel Prize winning ingredients to help restore aging skin. After reading about Dr. Brown, I was impressed with his research and discoveries. He found many of his patients who were requesting invasive procedures really needed to rejuvenate lackluster skin.
From the Company’s website: "It has been my mission with ReVive to bring products inspired by my practice as a plastic surgeon to the skincare market. I first created Line Erasing Serum to dramatically soften lines and wrinkles– no needles necessary. I am thrilled to introduce a new product, which includes the same revolutionary technology as Line Erasing Serum that addresses the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles specifically around the eye area". –Dr. Gregory Brown
The Claim: This powerful eye serum targets the advanced signs of aging and improves skin cell renewal, elasticity, and radiance. It softens appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes for natural looking eye rejuvenation. Immediately, 100% of consumers reported improvement in the appearance of:
• Crow’s feet and fine lines
• Wrinkles, severe lines and moderate lines
After 4 weeks of continued use, 80% of consumers agreed:
• Helps relax the appearance of existing lines around the eye area
• Provides the eye area with a smoother appearance
• Provides a tightening effect
We all are drawn in by the claims that skincare tout, but seldom do we come across some that actually do what they say. I have been using this product for just about a week now. I've noticed that the fine lines around my eyes were softened immediately, my eyes seemed brighter, the skin firmer and hydrated. This effect did diminish as the day went on, except for the hydration. I have also noticed that while cleansing my face, the tissue around my eyes seems to have a smoother texture than it previously did. Could this be due to a quicker cell turnover around that area? I am looking forward to results of longer use of this product. Is it possible I have found another holy grail? Time will tell. I use this one with a light touch, applying it tiny amounts in the morning and before bedtime. Don’t use too much of the serum as it is effective with a smidgen, spreads easily and glides over the skin. “Less is More".
