SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex For Dark Circles

Our #4 Choice

SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex For Dark Circles is an anti-wrinkle eye cream which says it can reduce the appearance of puffiness by 29% and dark circles by 27%.* These stats would be even more dramatic if there was an actual clinical study we could read about. Below is our complete review to attempt to understand the science behind this eye cream.

Introduction

Our number 4 pick for an eye cream is from the company SkinCeuticals and is called A.G.E. Eye Complex for Dark Circles. A.G.E. stands for advanced glycation end-products. These are harmful compounds which are formed in a process called glycation, when protein or fat combine with sugar in the bloodstream. While normal amounts of A.G.E. are disposed of by the body, an accumulation can lead to inflammation and has been linked with diseases like diabetes. In recent years, A.G.E. has been associated with skin aging and, therefore, anti-A.G.E. products have joined the market. The problem is that there has not been enough scientific research done to show that these products are, in fact, effective. In this review, we’ll delve into the exact formula of this eye cream to see what it can offer and if it is a cost-effective product for your anti-aging needs.

Ingredients

We are pleased to note that there is a patented ingredient found in this formula. We were hoping for more than one trademarked ingredient, but 1 out of 4 active ingredients is still positive. Below is a list of all four active ingredients found in SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex For Dark Circles:

Complex of flavonoids and synergistic peptides - Reduces the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags while increasing the look of firmness in the eye area.
Blueberry extract - An antioxidant and anti-glycation, this extract helps with the skin’s matrix and prevent the appearance of wrinkles.
Proxylane™ - Helps to support skin’s own G.A.G. synthesis and restore water and nutrients to skin.
Optical diffusers - Disperses light to minimize the appearance of dark circles.

How To Use

Apply cream once or twice per day, under the eyes and around the eyebrow area. After morning use, it is recommended to apply sunscreen

Price

One 15 ml jar is $98 which is definitely on the expensive end for eye creams. There are no bulk discounts available, but there is a coupon code for a sample for a different product from SkinCeuticals.

Guarantee

Returns of SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex For Dark Circles are accepted within 30 days of the purchase date.

Conclusion

We like that SkinCeuticals includes a patented ingredient in its eye cream formula. The rest of its ingredients also sound beneficial to the skin. Our main problem is that with all their products they don’t have any third-party clinical studies available for consumers to read about. Consumers these days have the benefit of the internet at their fingertips to do their own research about what skincare products will be best for them. Every link on the SkinCeuticals site gives their summary of what the benefits of certain ingredients are, but does not give any sources. Even its one patented ingredient doesn’t link to any scientific proof. So while this product talks a good game about their anti-A.G.E. formula, it’s not clear as to how effective it will be.

Additionally, we were disappointed to see the inclusion of parabens in this eye cream formula. As most skincare brands stay away from potentially dangerous ingredients based on clinical research, we would have expected SkinCeuticals to follow suit, especially since they advertise that they are "backed by science".

You can take a chance and buy this eye cream as long as you remember that you have 30 days in which to return it if you are not pleased with it. At $98 a bottle, it is your decision whether or not you believe the science of SkinCeuticals or not.
