Has anyone tried the eye cream Hylexin

So has anyone tried this insanely priced eye cream that touted to be the miracle for under eye circles?

I just turned 40 and have been through a hell of a three month period. After all this stress, I really don't recognize my face in the mirror. Especially the bags and circles, AND wrinkles under my eyes.

I swear to you they were not that bad last September-- before all the crap started.

Anyway, before I invest $75.00 on a small tube of cream, I was hoping to get unbiased opinions on the product.

Thanks for your help

I'd rather put that $75 towards a good massage. Have you ever seen the book, "Don't Go To The Cosmetic COunter Without Me"?

Read this first, and you'll save LOTS of money!

Do you know how hard it is to find shoes to match those bags? Nearly impossible.

Good luck, it sure is fun growing old. :)

Before I would add anything, I would test the soil first to see what your ph level is. Julia

Christy, one of the more experienced SSE members listed it in the 2008 SSE Yearbook and here's what he had to say about it: 80 days, indet, RL, 4 oz purple black fruit, flattish and ribbed, good tart flavor, high yields, and he got the seeds from Amishland Seeds in PA who I think introduced it. Penta Sigh. I know this lister very well and know the adjectives he uses to describe taste and he knows mine and trust me, when he says good flavor that's wayyyyy down the list in terms of taste adjectives for him. If you want a very ruffled, scalloped, so called black why not grow Noire des Cosebeauf? Personally I can't stand the taste but it's one of the most beautiful fruits I've ever seen with perfectly scalloped ribbing on the shoulders. And you may actually like the taste. ( smile) Carolyn

So what ARE some good online/mail order sources for seed potatoes? i've been fairly successful buying locally, but nothing outside of stuff like Red Norland, Yukon Gold and Kennebec. I was stoked to find Purple Majesty at a larger nursery/garden center. The standard mail order seed companies usually carry a few varieties. Johnny's has a better selection, but minimum 5 lbs of any one variety (I'd rather do a pound or so of several). I have browsed Potato Garden and Irish Eyes. What are some others?

Hey fairegold! Thanks a lot for that link - I just spent about an hour on it and ordered a bunch of her products! Do you use any of her line or just a fan of her book?

Her book doesn't cover the brand I have started using, Janson-
Beckett. I have to say I'm really pleased with the results, among which is the fact that they don't make my skin break out. Seems a small request, but all other more intense systems I've used before I've had to stop, because I break out at the slightest impurity. I'm a fragile woodland flower :)

So although the wrinkles aren't completely gone, they are definitely diminished and my skin looks much better hydrated. Might want to check it out. I use the skin prep, the AlphaDerma CE, the okusil (for eyes), and am trying the DermaExcel7 and the C serum. But the skin prep and the Alphaderma CE are great. I got my first trial sizes on eBay, fwiw...

I don't use her products, but I got one of her books a few years ago, and I probably have saved hundreds of dollars since then by NOT buying things after getting a little education!

After reading the book description it seems good, but I would caution you that everything she says is not indeed correct. I cannot elaborate here - however there was some untruths in her factual comparison.

I do think that overall the book looks quite excellent!

That book has been around forever. It would be fine if we all had the same skin and reactions but we don't. I find what works for me through trial and error but it may not be what works for someone else.

I personally cannot use some product brands. I'm allergic to some that are supposedly hypoallergenic and not to others. Cannot stand certain fragrances.

The hylexin was the subject of a TV story just the other night with another product created by a dermatologist that supposedly resurfaces hands on mature skin.

If it works on you go with it. If not, return it and tell them you're allergic as many places will refund you in that case.

But overall, anything sold o-t-c (drugstore or dept store) will not have the same result as something prescribed by cosmetic dermatologists.

And nothing truly removes bags under the eyes execept, well, you know.

A friend of mine just had the surgery. She is only a few months older than me, 38, but her bags were pretty bad. There was no question that she was imagining it or over reacting. She had the surgery (which was not cheap, around $5k) and she looks great. She looks the same, but without the bags.

Heck, if I had the money I would do a full body makeover!

I'm going to be a candidate for over-eye-surgery...I dont' think I'd recognize myself if I got rid of my under-eye bags.
