You ladies are so wonderful in your support and responses so I thought I would ask another question. I am searching for a new eye cream - I know, strange request. I need something that tightens and actually helps with the wrinkles. I prefer a more natural line but at this point I am willing to look into any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your input!!

I just went to an Arbonne party (it's one of those parties that are held in someone's home, similar to Mary Kay). I have heard many good things about their eye cream. Unfortunately you have to order through an Arbonne rep. You can go to their website to read about their products and philosophy...www.arbonne.com. Let me know if you are interested and I could point you in the direction of ordering.

If you want "real" results, no cream on the market will work. The claims are simply not valid. Go with Fraxel laser for fine lines and wrinkles. Fraxel treatment has more FDA clearances and physician endorsements than any laser treatment on the market today (I know because besides working for a dermatologist/plastic surgeon, I have had to research and try nearly every laser out there). The Fraxel laser process expedites your body’s remodeling of collagen and elastin, which results in tighter skin. A person has to damage the skin to rebuild collagen. That's all that works. Other options include chemical peels and dermabrasion, but I have seen the best results in our patients from Fraxel.

If you want a good everyday cosmetic line for skin care, etc. we use Jane Iredale (http://www.janeiredale.com/), IMAGE (http://www.imageskincare.com/) and PCA skin (http://www.pcaskin.com/).

As indicated, you will get a multitude of responses; everyone claiming that their cream is the best. But really, when looking at the actual structure of the skin, from a medical standpoint, creams do not work.

Hi B.. I've tried all kinds of products from the stores and from direct sellers. The one I have found that I like the best cos it works on my dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles, I found online while searching for a specific moisturizer for my daughter. It's dermae Eye Bright Dark Circle Creme. It's vegetarian and cruelty-free. I bought my products thru another website, but this is what is on the product box - www.dermae.com

Good luck with your search! :)

Hello B.,
I advertise with a company that exclusively offers the Nicole Miller skin care and cosmetic line to their customers. Nicole Miller's product line compares with Clinique, Este Lauder, and MAC, but is 40-60% less expensive than department store product lines. These products are safe,(do not contain phlates which are a known carcinogen and can cause infertility and are found in many mainstream cosmetics)and natural (her products contain real pieces of fruit, botannicals and also vitamins). Her line has products for every skin type and are of such high quality that she can say her products don't mask the signs of aging, but, in fact, reverse the signs of aging.

Remarkably, very safe, natural, high quality products, that are economically priced and will actually save you tons of money comparably.
You may contact me and learn more through my website:

Have a great weekend,

Hi B.

Try looking up frownies.com They work on the corners.
I work with a wellness company. We have new line of antiaging (I used to have 4 steps on my forhead as my little twins calle them and am now down to 2 at nearly 50 yo) and it's made with glucosamine rather than alpha hydroxy acid.
If you want more info on it, you can see it at thinkslim.org website or email me at ____@____.com

We have two lines-- one regular and one antiaging. The regular one is called nourifusion eye gel and the antiaging one is called skin activator eye cream. I do have samples of the antiaging one if you want some.

Have a great day-- and smile lines can only be seen on happy folk- -so honor those!

Hi B.! I see you are in Montevideo! Have you checked out the Aveda line at Nirvana Salon?
I really like their eye serum. I have also liked eye cremes from The Body Shop and Avalon Organics.
I would NEVER recommend Melaleuca or Nicole Miller. Get a good quality product that you KNOW is natural and that you can sample without dropping a load of money on.
I am going to try the product that Buffy suggested. I love Kiss My Face products! You can purchase their products at Cashwise Foods in Willmar or Potpourri natural foods store also in Willmar.
Happy shopping!

B. - you'll probably get a lot of responses of people telling you that they have the "best" line of skin care so I won't bother to tell you that. I'll let the facts speak for themselves.

Sense - beautiful science - is a skin care line that contains no preservatives. It is the only line that has a patented self-preserving formula. It contains no parabens which is being linked to breast cancer. If you want more information about Sense go to www.BeyondYourNow.com/Sense. If you want to order it, contact me.

Have a great day!

the aveda green science line is great. the entire line is meant to have the comparable results to chemical peels, without the garbage in it! it's an anti-aging line so it's meant for slightly mature skin...rather than preventative. but i'm using the eye cream at 27. i included the link...looks like you might have to copy and paste...i'm not sure if you can just click on this...

I LOVVVEEEEEE this product: http://www.votrevu.com/sites/J./productcatalog?page=produ... It has antioxidants and decreases puffiness and and also tightens and reduces under eye circles. Its all natural/botanical European. :)

I wasnt a fan of the Aveda stuff.. it was too "light" for me... didnt keep my skin feeling hydrated. I loved the arbonne stuff but needed flexibility to be able to customize my skin care a little...

Bliss also has great stuff!

I'm sorry this isn't a response to your request. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to share. I was also thinking about finding a good wrinkle cream. But my husband said not to. "I like your wrinkles. They mean that I'm growing old with you and that's what I always wanted," was what he said. I loved it.
