Rodan Fields Anti-Age Eye Cream
Product Overview
Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields started a skincare company and named it Rodan and Fields. Both have impressive credentials as physicians and dermatologists. They were two of the doctors who helped start the Proactiv brand of acne products. Since that time, Rodan and Fields have produced their own line of cosmeceuticals, based on the concept of merging effective OTC formulas with botanicals for natural support. Rodan and Fields currently offer one product for eye treatment, which is called Anti-Age Eye Cream.
Anti-Age Eye Cream contains several different kinds of peptides to help minimize crow’s feet and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Peptides consist of chains of protein molecules bound together. Delivering peptides into the skin can perform a rejuvenating effect and encourage the production of collagen and elastin. This helps in keeping the skin youthful, elastic and resilient to damage. One of these peptides, Acetyl Hexapeptide 3, is known for its moderate ability to relax facial muscles and thus counteract the contractions that cause crow’s feet.
Anti-Age Eye Cream also have several natural compounds, such as Sea Whip extract and Cucumber extract, which are added to produce a calming effect on the skin and promote healthier circulation so that dark circles and under-eye puffiness can be diminished.
The Good
- Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields have an impressive background in cosmetology.
- There is scientific basis for the use of peptides in this formula.
The Bad
- No scientific research showing the ingredient’s effects on dark circles is included.
- The company does not offer a free trial of its products.
- Does not contain Actiflow, Lipolight and other proven eye treatment ingredients.
Dos And Don’ts
While some of these botanicals may have a mild effect, we noticed that Anti-Age Eye Complex does not contain any light diffusing compounds (such as Lipolight) nor proven circulation enhancers like Actiflow. It seems that this formula, despite its many ingredients – may not be powerful enough for most eye problems. So you can try the product if you want to.
Final Comments
Considering the good reputations of both Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields, it can be suspected that the Anti-Age Eye Cream will likely have a positive effect on the eye area. But the site does not contain the list of all the ingredients. You can still try the product out.
