What the gurus are saying

The formula delivers striking immediate results, but experts split on its staying power. One reviewer praises how smoothly it applies and wears under makeup without the flaking of older versions. However, others found it pills and bunches noticeably within 30 minutes to an hour, especially with facial movement, leaving texture that can look worse than the original concern. The instant lift is real, but wearability throughout the day is where this stumbles for most.

"This is really a breakthrough formula. It is so much better than the original. It works so much better. It really is easy wear. It's much easier to apply, much easier to work with. I think it works a little bit better and you don't end up with that crusty, scaly looking skin even after a few hours. You can also put makeup on over it, which makes it so much more wearable."

"The instant results are incredible and it really does look amazing, but give it about 30 minutes, an hour, an hour and a half, and the formula pills up so quickly and bunches together, leaving this really gross appearance of so much texture and piled up product on the under-eye area that is almost more obvious than just leaving the eye bags the way they are. Particularly if you're someone like myself who's very expressive, who smiles a lot and makes a lot of faces, that's where I noticed the most intense downside of this product, it just bunches up so quickly. I remember trying to use this and talking to other makeup artists about it, and pretty much across the board they were like, 'Yeah, it looks really good at the beginning, but I ended up not using it anymore because after a certain time passed it would just look really bad on my clients.' This product has been around for so long, it is by no means a new technology or innovation. It's really unfortunate because I really would love those results to stay, but it's hard because you really won't find a product that gives this instantaneous of results that can fight against the natural movement and aging that we have in our face."
