Since some people seemed interested, here are four reviews of some products I've already tried...

1. Olay Regenerist Thermal Mini Peel:

You have to read the labels carefully if you are actually looking for specific ingredients. Just saying "anti-aging" or "anti-wrinkle" doesn't mean much. I found this when looking for a cleanser with Glycolic Acid at the pharmacy and this was the only one that contained it, as far as I could tell. I actually liked it quite a bit, but didn't feel like it really came as part of a whole regimen, so I'm trying some other things in the meantime. It feels warm on the face, exfoliates, and definitely leaves your skin feeling smooth.

2. Alpha Hydrox:

This is a very cheap supermarket brand that contains some good ingredients, but I was just "meh." The cleanser didn't leave my face feeling any different and the moisturizers was quite harsh (it stung near my hairline) and I don't have sensitive skin even.

3. Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream:

An affordable supermarket brand and I felt like it had quick initial results that then leveled off. A bit strong, so not for sensitive skin. It was the only supermarket eye cream I could find with retinol, so maybe the initial results followed by tapering off was just my skin experiencing retinol for the first time.

4. Sephora Age Defy Eye Cream:

This didn't appear to do anything, confirming that, for me at least, I should stick with an eye cream with retinol.

Next paycheck will be a new eye cream, as my Neutrogena one is just about out (that little tube does last a long time). I will probably try a Peter Thomas Roth one to go with my current regimen, but am still researching.


As always, your mileage/skin may vary...

I LOVE that you are doing this! Thank you!

I'm mostly looking for a great eye cream, since I'm in that weird category where I have wrinkles around my eyes, but still have some issues with acne.
