Perricone Advanced Eye Area Therapy
Product Overview
Perricone Advanced Eye Area Therapy is designed to reduce dark circles, puffiness, crow’s feet, as well as skin discoloration and dryness. To reduce dark circles, Advanced Eye Area Therapy contains a combination of GABA, Vitamin K, 18B-Glycyrrhetinic Acid, and Folic Acid. While Vitamin K and Folic Acid are known for improving circulation – and thus could help diminish poor blood flow that contributes to dark circles – GABA is known more for its effects on relaxing the facial muscles. Also, 18B-Glycyrrhetinic Acid is a derivative of licorice root, which could irritate or cause allergic reactions in the skin for some sensitive customers.
Advanced Eye Area Therapy minimizes puffiness since it has caffeine, which without a doubt does reduce swelling. Unfortunately, caffeine accomplishes this primarily through dehydration, which could actually undermine the moisture-retention components in the formula. DMAE is included to diminish lines, but this neurotransmitter precursor has been primarily studied for its use as an oral supplement to promote healthy brain function.

The Good
-Perricone Advanced Eye Area Therapy claims to reduce dark circles, puffiness, crow’s feet, as well as skin discoloration and dryness.
- Dr. Perricone is one of the most famous cosmeceutical personalities.
- Many of Dr. Perricone’s formulas have impressed scientific research behind them.
The Bad
- The company does not provide with free trial of product.
- Some of the components (18B-Glycyrrhetinic Acid & Caffeine) seem to be odd choices.
- No such claimed research seems to be available for the Advanced Eye Area Therapy.
Dos And Don’ts
The Dr. Perricone web site is quite prevalent. Plenty of information is provided on Dr. Perricone himself, as well as his best-selling books. It has full descriptions of its products, and posts several clinical studies and case histories of the effects for many of its formulas. Unfortunately, no such studies have been conducted on the Advanced Eye Area Therapy.
Although a free catalog of Dr. Perricone products is available, no free trials of the actual formulas themselves are available, which may be disappointing for those customers who like to try out products before committing to a purchase. Considering the relatively high price for Advanced Eye Area Therapy ($95), a free trial would likely appeal to many potential customers.
Final Comment
While many experts and non-partisan critics in the cosmetic field continue to recommend Dr. Perricone products, Advanced Eye Area Therapy contains too many question marks, at least at present time. Hopefully, the company can reveal more information about its effects soon.
But you can definitely try the product if you want.
