Dermadoctor Photo Dynamic Therapy&#153 Liquid Red Light Eye Lift Lotion

What it is:An eye lotion that helps restore a youthful appearance by helping to improve aging eyes, sagging lids, undereye fat pads, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration. What it is formulated to do:Photodynamic therapy is the ideal nonsurgical alternative to undergoing blepharoplasty (eye lift). Building from the same technology as DERMAdoctor’s Photodynamic Therapy, this formulation helps restore a refreshed, alert, and youthful appearance. Clinical studies show that this lotion lifts and tightens sagging lids, visibly reduces appearance of undereye bags, and temporary relaxes fine lines and crow’s feet. Research results:Clinical studies show: - 65% of panelists reported less sagging skin - 80% of panelists reported firmer skin - 90% want to continue application

Not a dramatic difference
-05.10.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
The sales person swore I would see dramatic reduction in puffiness in a week or so. Not so. I paid $200 for my last eye cream so I thought it was a bargain. Just so so.

I *think* it's working?
-04.17.13
Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly
I've had under-eye bags and dark circles since I was a kid. Sadly, it's in my genes! I've tried just about every eye "de-puffer" and dark circle brightener, but none of them really work. So I threw down for this spendy product and crossed my fingers.
I've been using it for several weeks now, and here's what I've noticed so far:
- creamy but not greasy; absorbs quickly
- tingles a little when you first apply it (at first this was more of a stinging sensation, but only where my lids were very dry—now that my lids are more moisturized, the stinging has stopped)
- moisturizing, helps to minimize fine lines
- a bit brightening, but I wouldn't call it dramatic
- has made a modest dent in my dark circles
- has made a modest dent in my bags
Some reviewers claim this is "botox in a bottle"—either I'm a nearly hopeless case, or there a bit of wishful thinking going on.
Overall, I'm happy with this product and will keep using it. It's making a minor difference, which is better than everything else I've tried, but isn't wow-ing me either. Worth the price? Not sure. I'll decide when I get through this bottle.

Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly
I've been using this for nearly 3 weeks, every morning and some nights. I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin's ability to retain moisture in the eye area. This product goes on easily and lasts through the day. Makeup application on and around the eye is no problem. I haven't noticed any difference in fine lines, but my under eye circles are less pronounced.
For a really great eye treatment, keep the product in your refrigerator. That way, it will be chilled when you apply it and increase circulation to your eye area to reduce puffiness, redness, and dark circles. It feels very refreshing.

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, effective
I'm in my early 30s so naturally my eyelids are losing their elasticity. I purchased this product and after a few uses I have noticed a huge improvement! I'm definitely going to continue using it and I highly recommend it!

OMG ITS BOTOX IN A BOTTLE!!!!!!!!!
-02.05.13
Quick Take: hydrating, brightening, absorbs quickly, firming, priming
Its a mircle in a bottle.. I have tried counteless eye products from Dr. Perricone to Kate Sommerville even pricey La Prarie. I had given up hope on my eyes. I was told by a friend to try this eye product at first I was a bit skeptical but in a matter of 5 days my eyes look like they did in my 20's OMG.. I was very close to getting botox. I love my new eyes they are lifted my wrinkles have disappeared into thin air and no more dark spots. I feel tighter brighter a more fresh look. Dermadoctor has done it once again. I also use her Photo Dynamic Therapy Spf30 no more dark spots for me :-) A Winner!!

Don't see it yet
-01.03.13
Quick Take: gentle
Been using this faithfully for about 3 weeks and I don't see a great difference yet. The wrinkles under my eyes have gone into turbo and are really looking bad. This caught my eye because it specifically mentioned "undereye fat pads" which are my biggest problem (hereditary). I am going to keep using it, as it does provide deecent moisture and I hope to start seeing some more apparent results - and It doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin around my eyes.

Best eye cream I have tried
-12.22.12
Quick Take: best eye cream
This is good stuff...worth the price. Immediately softens eye area. I use it everyday. Not sure why its called "red light". That is sort of "off-putting". It is just a nice, gentle eye cream that works (not miracles, just improvement).

Wrinkles really disapeared
-12.21.12
I have some wrinkles and lines under my eye. I use Photo Dynamic Therapy around 10 days and I found that my wrinkles and lines were reduced exaggeratedly. But I didn't find my lid lifted yet. Maybe I should wait it longer.

It's OK

This is a nice creamy product for around the eyes, but I don't notice it much different than others I have used. I'm not sure I'd order it again - probably wouldn't....I'd try something else!
