I am 36 years old and was getting fed up of the wrinkles and bags under my eyes. I have tried several different products to no avail. Then I saw an advertisement for eyesential and after much deliberation (It's about £36 a bottle) I decided to buy some. It is brilliant, It does exactly what it says. Firstly, remove all traces of make-up, cleansers, toners and moisturisers, using just water on a cotton wool pad. Wait for your skin to dry. Secondly, shake the bottle well! If it is at all gritty, then you haven't shaken it enough. Thirdly, put a small amount on your middle finger (this finger uses the least amount of pressure) and smoothe under the eye, working from the inner eye and out toward the temple. For best results use as little as possible. Avoid any facial movement for 2 to 3 minutes while the product dries. After it has dried, you can apply make-up over the top but avoid using liquid foundation. You can use any powder make-up such as transclucent powders but mineral make-up is recommended. When you first apply eyesential, you start to feel your skin getting tight, this sensation stayed with me until I removed it, but it isn't an unpleasant feeling. Apparently it works by compressing the skin, it doesn't stretch it at all, which could make wrinkles worse. If viewed under a microscope it looks like a 'web', but it's invisible to the naked eye. I applied it at 9am and removed it at 6pm and it hadn't started to wear off at all. To remove it, you just use water on a cotton wool pad. If you are going out at night, you can remove it and reapply it. Although it was still working for me after 9 hours, I would definitely reapply before going out at night (you don't want to be like Cinderella and have to get home before the magic wears off!) According to instructions it last between 8 + 10 hours. I know it's expensive, but you only need the tiniest amount, so it will last for ages, and the shelf life is approximately 2 years, so you could just use it occasionally if you wanted. I use it every day and wouldn't be without it. If you are going to buy it, check out several websites for the best price. Also, make sure you get the new design bottle, it has a wand not a pump and it has 50% more than the old version, 15ml as opposed to 10ml. Now for the boring bit - the ingredients:- Aqua, sodium silicate, magnesium aluminium silicate, iron oxides, propylene glycol, methylparaben and propylparaben. Lastly, if your under eyes aren't your problem area, then this product can be used on wrinkles anywhere. Hope you get the results I did.

Sounds interesting. What does it have in it that makes it tingle, how does it claim to work? x
