Which PSF eye cream?

Seems like the stars have aligned for me this month. Laughing

I'm almost out of my current lovely eye cream, I've wanted to try PSF eye treatments AND they're offering a 25% discount off eye treatments through Feb 17th. Question is, which one should I get? The hydrating, cranberry eye lift, or the Stimcoll C? I just turned 43 years old, have crows feet at the corner of my eyes and want to lift, hydrate, moisturize [I know, redundant] and brighten the eye area. For those of you who've used all of PSF's eye treatments, what is your recommendation?
TIA!

I too was thrilled to see the Valentine's special Wink

as I was just about to re-order from PFS.
I've been using the Cranberry Lift for 1.5 years and that one is definitely a staple in my routine. So, I'll re-order that one. I was thinking about taking advantage of the great special and ordering another eye treatment, but wasn't sure which one. I think I am leaning toward the Vit. C product.
I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

Hi Athena:

I have tried the PSF Super Hydrating Eye Cream and the Phyto-lift Cranberry eye gel. Both are nice products but the Cranberry eye gel would be my preferred pick. This is a really nice soothing gel that gives a nice tightening lift to the upper eye area. I keep mine in the refrigerator and when applied chilled it also DE-puffs the eye area.

I have not tried the Stimucoll-C so I cannot comment on that product.

Nice Valentine Special

I've tried all three. I particularly like the Cranberry Eye Lift, which seems to soothe as well as (very slightly) lift the upper lid area. It isn't at all emollient though. The Hydrating Eye Cream is nice but not very rich. If you have very dry skin in the eye area, it might not be enough. I like it for under eye makeup, though, where a richer eye cream might lead to creasing or smearing. I didn't care for the Stimucoll at all. It's a mustard yellow color that gets darker over time, which is worrisome since oxidized Vitamin C can actually be damaging to the skin. Also, I found the texture grainy, especially toward the end of the pump bottle.

You girls aren't helping me narrow it down to only one! ... Laughing

I'm kidding, you're enabling to buy 2 or 3! I was actually leaning toward the cranberry eye lift and the hydrating eye cream, so it looks like I'm gonna have to get both! Smile

I reason that since I already use my Vit. C serum around the eyes, I can probably do without the StimColl altogether.

Thank you!

Wow PSF is fast! I ordered the Hydrating and Cranberry eye creams on Friday and it arrived yesterday; they actually shipped on the same day I ordered it!

Of course I haven't been using these long enough to see any effects but I love the way they feel. I applied the cranberry eye gel, let it sink in for a minute, then the hydrating treatment last night and this morning my eye area still felt very soft and hydrated.

My only beef is with the packaging/dispenser. I primed the pump to get out all the air but now that it's primed, One full pump releases way too much product. I'll need to adjust to this and go with only half a pump, but I shouldn't have to do that. I also wish there were a way to see how much is left in the bottle, but likely the opaque color protects the ingredients. I'll be sending an email to PSF about their pump, because it would be best if the pump were adjusted to release only the amount needed in one full pump.

I'm probably spoiled by Murad's fantastic, sensible and ergonomic packaging. Their pump dispensers are geared to release only the tiny amount needed with one full pump which leads to much less waste. Another thing Murad packaging does is place a plate at the very bottom. When you pump, the plate is raised, pushing product from the bottom towards the top of the bottle. NO product is wasted with this design, it's truly superb.

Like athena123 I just received my Cranberry Eye Gel. It is too early for me to comment much but I do notice the gel gives a temporary firming and lifting to the eye area (LOVE THAT!!!). It certainly feels refreshing. I apply Dermalogica Multi-vitamin Eye and Mouth over it. Hopefully, this is a winning combination for me.

Does the cranberry eye cream help with wrinkles and lines,or just give the eye a lifted look??

Hi Jenny welcome to EDS! Smile

I haven't been using it long enough to know whether it'll help with wrinkles but there are a ton of reviews here on EDS that can help you better than I. I purchased it for the lifting and antioxidants and the Hydrating serum for moisture/hydration. It does contain Matrixyl, which I would expect to help with wrinkles but I don't know what the percentage is.

I have very allegy eyes and Cranberry eye lift has not adverse effect on my eyes at all and I believe it works on enlarge my eye as it claim to do... I love it and will definitely repurchase it... ( i am on my 4th)

I love the cranberry lift - on my second bottle - a staple in my daily routine. This is used in the upper portion of my eye and to the outside - I just purchased (Valentine's Day special) the hydrating eye cream. there have been so many favorable - long term - reports about this and I was in the market for something to try. I do not need super- hydrating but this seems to deliver for those of us with somewhat normal - oily skin.

Not sure if anyone of you carry the same habit as I do. I've found I need to rotate different brands of eye cream every few weeks. I feel more effective to my eye cream this way.

hi, i wonder if the Cranberry eye cream works for dark circles or not.
Thanks.

ive been using this a few days and have been slightly breaking out beneath my eyebrows Sad

has this happened to anyone else??

I just received the hydrating eye Treatment. I am on my second bottle of the Cranberry Lift and with all three of these products the pump did not have a stem in them. So I end up digging out the product with a Q-tip.

This is getting to be a little bit more than annoying. Does this happen to anyone else? I think I will call them today and mention this.

I thought the same thing as you. These bottles do not have stems. They are airless pumps. If at first you don't get any product out try giving it a good firm tap on a hard surface. PSF told me this should break any air bubble. HTHs

I agree their packaging leaves a little to be desired although so far I'm really loving the product within! Wink

I love vit c for eyes. it really work for me.

In my opinion, the Cranberry Eye Lift is a unique product. There are lots of hydrating eye creams out there, but I don't know of any products like the Cranberry Eye Lift. It's a winner for me.

free skin care · Fri Mar 07, 2008 6:56 pm

Definitely getting the cranberry eye gel with my next order

I have been using a sample of the cranberry for a few days - and no change! Mad
