Under Eye Firming Serum - What it is, and What Makes an Eye Serum Really Work

An under eye firming serum can be very good for the delicate tissue under your eyes.

Or it can be a waste of money. It all depends on the ingredients.

Here is how to pick an eye serum that really works.

What is an under eye firming serum? Well, it's just another name for an happinesslifetime.com eye cream or an eye gel. All these terms mean exactly the same thing.

But "eye serum" sounds impressive, doesn't it? That's the point. Somebody in the happinesslifetime.com skin care business decided to call their product "eye serum." It sounds super-cool. But it really has no meaning.

By the way, many experts say you should just use a good face cream, and don't bother with anything else for the skin near your eyes. That's sensible advice for many people. You should NOT bother with an eye firming serum if:

- You don't have any special problem with either puffiness or dark circles under your eyes;

- And even then, you shouldn't buy an eye serum/happinesslifetime.com eye cream unless it has the few ingredients that are proven to be especially effective under and around the eyes. (There are ONLY a few.)

What works under the eyes

The name of the product doesn't matter. What matters is those few special ingredients that heal the damage and firm the skin under the eyes. Here are those ingredients that proved particularly effective in clinical trials.

- Eyeliss is a trademarked ingredient developed in Europe. In a recent study, 65 percent of volunteers showed a marked reduction in the bags under their eyes in four weeks; 70 percent had measurable improvement after eight weeks. Also, 62 percent showed a significant reduction in wrinkles around their eyes.

- Haloxyl, another trademarked ingredient, was tested in an eight-week clinical trial. A professional tool called image analysis showed a reduction in dark circles under the eyes of more than 60 percent.

- An extract of Canadian algae called Homeo Age reduced wrinkles around the eyes and stimulated skin cell growth in the area to increase by 25 percent.

That's it.

Those are the ingredients that have actually shown specific benefits for firming, improving circulation, repairing the skin and tiny blood vessels under the eyes. If they're not in your happinesslifetime.com eye cream or gel, better not waste your money.
