Lily.B Ultra Eye Cream Review

Hello Ninjas!

This is my first official cosmetic product review. I received this eye cream from SkinCareRx.com in return for my unbias review of the product. Since I have been looking for an under-eye cream to combat my existing dark circles and prevent the small wrinkles on my lower eyelid from getting any deeper.

Ok, so, this sounds like a great product! I've now been using it AM and PM as my only new eye product for a 3 weeks I've got pictures of the whole testing period week by week for you to see the results then I will discuss them at the end. Sorry the lighting isn't consistent but remember that my main purpose for using this was under eye circles and wrinkles.

Ok so here is what my eyes looked like before. Keep in mind all of these pictures are without makeup. I also have decided I want to re-shape my brows so you'll see a little grow out in these lol, sorry!

Ok so here's after a week of twice daily use. There is a little yellowing of the skin around my eye that I didn't notice until going back and editing all of these. The wrinkles under my eyes have actually become more defined.

After two weeks of twice daily use there is some significant change, for the worse! There is now some hyper pigmentation along my lower lash line, the dark circles have gotten more pronounced and the wrinkles are still very defined.

These were taken on Tuesday! Now, we can see that the hyperpigmentation has not gone down and has gotten somewhat darker. The odd yellowing is now concentrated around my lash lines and tear duct. The product itself is a sort of light buttercup yellow color which may contribute to the strange discoloration. However, since the ingredients do not include any colorants or dyes, it may have been my skin's own personal reaction to the cream. The under eye wrinkles are slightly less than the week before but still definitely more defined and deeper than when I started using this product.

Overall, this product did not improve anything it promised to fix! I will say that I have fairly sensitive skin and this may not be the case with every person who tries this product.  Lily.B Ultra Eye Cream itself comes in a nice bottle with a pump top for easy dispensing of the cream. The cream doesn't smell strange or too strongly so it doesn't irritate the eye area. It has a nice texture and is easy to apply as directed. Eye cream is an accurate description of the product since it is very creamy without being watery at all and it adheres well to the eye area which can be hard for some products. However, despite the physical quality of the product, the corrective qualities were just not there.

Also, this is not a unique product. In fact, if you do a web search for the ingredients of this eye cream, you get the exact same list for at least two other eye creams: Vitamin K, DCX & Arnica Eye Cream and SkinGenX Eye CompleX What this points to is something called Private Labeling. This means that one company mass produces a product and sends it off to smaller retail companies who then put their own label on it.  Therefore, this is not a secret very effective blend of ingredients, it is one that is mass produced and sent out to places who could have all sorts of mediocre decanting practices. Private labeling is one thing when a grocery store does their own brand of pasta and you know what you're getting but entirely another when a company lays claim to a wonderful skin improving eye cream.
