Ladies, opinions please...
Am looking at something for my eyes.. the only part of my face with lines (I dont count my neck as my face.  )
I am having a really hard time deciding between Cellular Skin products and Jansen Brackett products (even in their other wrinkle products)
Eye Bright Treatment Serum from Cellular Skin RX (the relax-a-line people)
http://www.cellularskinrx.com/products_eyebright.html
$30 for 10ml
OkuSil from Jansen Brackett (the AlphaDerm people)
http://www.janson-beckett.com/
$84.95 for 30ml (wish they sold this in a 10ml bottle)
Also, I know that AlphaDerm is also used on the eyes under the OkuSil, but what about Relax-a-line and the complementary Vit. C serum?
Are there any other products I should be looking at that do the same thing as these?
Thanks guys! |

I haven't used okusil, but I do C serum, eyebright and relaxaline all under my eyes and along the brow bone under eyebrow in the AM. I top off with murad essentially C eye cream. I like this combo and it works for me. I think Winnie loves the okusil more, but she is a little older than me and would probably notice effects more.

| Well, I am 38... can these products be used on the lids too? |

| I don't think you should use them on the upper lid...I think that applies to anything. If it's on browbone, then it migrates down I think |

Hiya, Tiger,
I'm a big Cellularskinrx.com fan. Use all of their stuff. I do use the C on my eyes without any problems. And the Rlaxaline on crow's feet. I put the Eye Bright on after the C and then top with moisturizer. I love it because it's a great brightener but I have to say it is not a moisturizer. Even though it has the hyaluronic acid in it which is supposed to be a great moisturizer, I feel better with putting my sunscreen over it. BTW, I was surprised by the prices you quoted. I only paid $21 for it. I guess the question to ask is what problem are you trying to solve - wrinkles, lack of firmness, dark circles? They seem to have a product to address each of these. |

I haven't tried Okusil, but last week I received the Eye Bright serum. I am loving it! I didn't have dark circles to begin with, but I can already see a great improvement in the puffiness around my eyes. Like most others have stated, you probably will need extra moisturization.
I also use Relaxaline on my crow's feet. I will order their Vit C serum when my Obagi and SkinMedica runs out. Their prices are great....I also only paid $21 for the Eye Bright. I like that they only charge $2 for shipping. Sometimes I feel like I get ripped off from other companies.
Betterat40: I was hoping you had tried the new CSRx Polishing Grains by now. At only $15, I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to go ahead and buy it without seeing reviews, since I love all their other stuff so far.

Hi, Cheryl,
I did get the Polishing Grains a while back and I do love them. They are a really fine powder consistency, not sharp or gritty like the Dr. Brandt's I tried out. The thing I like the most is that they can be mixed with anything. So, at this point, I have mixed them with my Clean and Clear salicylic acid cleanser and used on my nose and chin - even left as a mask. Better yet, I'm really enjoying using them with these oils I have - rosehip, rice bran and jojoba. Depending on what I think my skin "wants", I will use them with the grains to exfoliate and moisturize at the same time,etc. The grains don't get "muddy" at all. And as usual with all their stuff, seems like I have enough to use for a long time. They are a good product, very simple and versatile. No rocket science with these. |

yea.. ?? $30 for 10ml? maybe I had 30ml on the mind .. but ya, it is $21. oh I hope they ship overseas!
I dont have dark circles.. and if I can keep a straight face my eyes are pretty good but my crows fee a bit deep for my liking as is the puffiness under my eyes when I smile.. and fine lines near the nose... and my upper lids/brow area is getting a bit droopy in my opinion... could be worse, but could be a lot better too. |

tiger-tim,
Just checked your question. About to call it a night but if you have any questions about Okusil feel free to PM me. I have been using it for 3 1/2 months and feel that I can give you any information you need.
Have a good night. |
