I am taking over the blog - at least for this post. I recently decided my eyes where showing their age. I know there is no such thing as "anti-aging" anything but figured I'd just start a routine of at least softening the look.
NeoStrata was recommended. It was more than I usually pay for make-up products, but what the hell. I followed the directions and what a mess. It did say discontinue if irritation occurs. It did. I am now moisturizing my eye lids and around my eyes as they are raw from the product. I am well aware that not everything works for everyone and yes irritation can occur. My skin is usually more resilient.
My issue with the product is when I read "In vivo tests with 3% Beautieye on 24 volunteers, aged between 40 and 79 years of age". 24 volunteers! What the #&*(. 24 volunteers could be your family and friends. The people who work the same floor as you. How can it be a tested on just 24 volunteers? By the way 1 out of 24 = 4%. So chances are at least 4% of people will get irritation.
The point here is read the fine print on the package. It was there (see below) and if I had read tested on 24 volunteers I might have thought twice. As for me, that is not enough of a test sample for anything. Two dozen - that's it.
The product I am currently using to moisturize and help clear up the mess is a product I paid less than $5 for. Hmm... you get what you pay for does not apply here for me. Read the fine print and think - has that really been tested or just passed out to friends and co-workers?
