Hi, ejthomas. Have the problem myself and would be very interested in finding a smoothing product as well. At this point, I'd take a product that formed a web or film on my lids as long as it did the job.
I was told by the doctor who did my eye Thermage that the only thing that would truly smooth the crinkles from upper eyelid skin was laser resurfacing. Yikes! My knees start to get wobbly when I think about that procedure being done on such thin skin. Granted, I'm a wienie about things like that, but still. . . |

| I would look into either copper peptides. Eye products that really seem to have great feedback are cellular skin rx's eyebright treatment, and psf's stimuColl-C. |

I have been used both skincarecentral's and Candessence's DMAE on my upper eyelids with no problems, but I don't think I have crepey eyelids.
I have droopy eyelids and the DMAE lifed my upper eyelids. |

I had a lot of problems with crepey, sagging, hooded lids and baggy undereye area, but my eyes are sooooo much better now. Every one of those problems has improved dramatically, especially the hooded lids and crepeyness. I started to see dramatic improvement when I added Vit. C. I think the DMAE is helping a lot too. I like PSF's stimucoll in the morning, followed by a moisturizer with sunscreen. I use DMAE at night, followed by PSF's Berry Beneficial and super hydrating eye cream. I also think that vitamin supplements and changing to a healthier diet w/ lots of water have played a huge role in improvement overall.

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone is using a product that will help with the beginning signs of crepey-ness on the upper eyelids and gives a lifting effect? I'm looking for something that doesn't form a 'web' over your skin that -don't know quite how to put this  - doesn't start clumping up when you put make up on over it (like many firming creams do). I'm currently using Babor Hy-lift eye cream, which helps with the lift, but not really the crepey-ness. Can anyone help? Not too concerned about the price if it works in all these areas. |

I've been trying out the Gatineau Defi-Lift eye cream, which is supposed to tighten and firm the whole eye area. It's early days as I've only been using it for about a month or so, but haven't seen any signs of improvement yet  . |

| What helped me was the PSF cranberry serum-firming as well. Not moisturizing enough by itself, but the hydrating cream is excellent. I'm a little leery about drying effects of dmae around the eyes..anyone else with eyelid crepyness use it on eyelids as well? |

| I've been using the skincentral DMAE around eyes daily and not had they drying problem at all (I did with others, even the weak Reviva DMAE). I don't know if it's the other ingredient in this formula (cistus hdyrosol sp?) or what, but I'm getting a nice smooth finish top and bottom eye lids. I have added a dab of CeraVe cream to my routine recently(around eyes too), so maybe this is helping dryness too. |

I use Candy's 6% DMAE/HA gel and love it for my droopy lids. The HA plumps the lids up and the DMAE firms them. And, over time, the effects are cumulative. So, with continued use, my eye area just gets better and younger looking. I use this all over from forehead to feet.
I've seen some posts regarding the drying effect of DMAE. I just don't get it. The opposite is happening for me. Maybe because I use it in conjunction with the Hyaluronic Acid. Doesn't matter 'cause it works for me.

marina -- I had the same horrendous experience with Okusil. It took me forever to erase the damage. I use the PSF DMAE, and it works well with no problems.
ejthomas -- I've used most of the products already mentioned (Stimucoll, cranberry eye gel, copper peptides, dmae) and they've all helped with lifting. If your crepiness is due to lack of moisture, Elizabeth Grant's Eyelid Restore is wonderful for plumping them back up. |

I have read that Neova eye theropy can be applied on the eye lids for that purpose.
Has anyone tried it? |

| Agree that Elizabeth Grant's eyelid restore is like a drink of water for the upper lid (or all around the eye for that matter.) |

I think CPs and DMAE will help.
PSF Cranberry + DCX Eye bright will help with the appearance.
HTH,
Lucy. |

Hi,
I'm new to this board and looking for something to fight the beginnings of droopy eyelids and I keep seeing DMAE and Vit. C and although I search online (always get the Perricone site) I can't seem to find what everyone is raving about. I'm sure it's a stupid question but I am at a loss as to how to find what this DMAE is or where to find it.
Thanks so much in advance! |
For Vit C on my face I use cellbone.com C23 http://www.cellbone.com/c23.htm They also have special vit C for eyes. (I do not use vit C around eyes though). I used to use DMAE Firming Fluid from Reviva, others on this forum can point you to some other sources.
In my opinion what helps the most with drooping eyes it is eye exercises.  I have been doing FlexEffect http://www.flexeffect.com/beforeafter.htm. Scroll down to see before and after photos. There are other systems out there too.
Also on another thread Kassey_A suggested using FaceMaster http://www.facemaster.com I have not used it myself, but it might be something to look into... I would love to hear if anyone used it and what they think of it....  |
