2.0 out of 5 stars
Other 5 Stars give every MenScience Product 5 Stars, January 28, 2009
This review is from: MenScience Eye Rescue Formula (.75 oz.) (Health and Beauty)
I tried this product based on reviews read here - it didn't work. Then I noticed all the 5 Star reviewers who reviewed other products only or predominantly reviewed MenScience products and always gave all of them 5 stars - that seems a little fishy to me - don't believe reviewers who only review one brand of product and always gives 5 stars!!!

Honest opinion from buyer!, March 27, 2010
This review is from: MenScience Eye Rescue Formula (.75 oz.) (Health and Beauty)
I waited for results before writing a review due to all the erroneous 5 star reviews. I've been using this product for a little over two weeks.
I bought this after having read the ingredients and weighing my options against a few other products. It was either this stuff or something from Olay, Clinque, or that Vita-K cream. Whether it's made for men or women has no relevance. I'll use creams marketed towards women if it'll make my skin look better. My final decision was based on the ingredients and reviews. About a day or two after I got it I felt like a fool for paying for this stuff. I paid closer attention to the 5 star reviews and realized they were likely paid to give phony testimonials. All of their other reviews are also 5 star MensScience reviews. The customer review section of all their products look just like a commercial. It's a deceptive advertising tactic and it infuriated me. I was lied to, mislead, and felt suckered. Thinking about it now rekindles a harboring mistrust I have toward this company. I have firsthand experience, so here's what I think about this product:
I like it. Yes, I do. It's actually working for me. I use it once a day that goes over a witch hazel/light salicylic acid toner. I've only tried one other cream in my life to combat dark circles. It was some cream made by Wexler (they have a good glyco acid peel), but it turned out to be more of a concealer than part of a treatment to actually treat a chronic problem I've had since my teens. Let me make this clear, the improvement hasn't been stellar, but enough to take a second look in the mirror and notice an improvement. I don't know if it'll work for you, but it's working for me. According to the ingredients this stuff should help. It has a good combination of ingredients that a lot of other creams don't mix together and include in one package. I was looking for key ingredients in one cream, such as vitamin A, E, K, and Kojic Acid. I read somewhere those were good ones to look out for when looking for an eye cream. I'll probably start using it twice a day. It goes on smooth and doesn't smell bad, and the greasy feeling goes away in a couple of minutes. It has a matte finish. Again, there has been some improvement. I'm hoping for more improvement in the future.
I don't know if I'll buy it again. Those perfidious testimonials is the worst thing they could have done to promote their products. It's so shady and so obvious. How can I trust them when I was lured under false pretense? To me it looks like they paid people to lie about their products, to fool you and to fool me. Well, I'm not stupid and I'm not their surf. They don't trust their own products to work. They should allow all their products to undergo fair scrutiny, leading to honest reviews and testimonials. I know there are as good as or better creams out there, and if you're like me, you'd be willing to pay far more than what this stuff costs if it'll really make a BIG difference. Next, I'll probably try something from Olay or that Murad lighten and brighten eye cream or just see a dermatologist.
I have no other reviews yet. I mostly buy music from Amazon's MP3 download collection. I'll probably write one more review for a gift I bought for a relative. It was some wax stuff.

False Hopes, January 11, 2010
This review is from: MenScience Eye Rescue Formula (.75 oz.) (Health and Beauty)
Ok. . . Well I'd like to begin by saying that I am usually a very smart shopper. I had been viewing this item for a few weeks, when I noticed one day that when i went to wash my face my eyes got extremely dark. I've had dark eyes ever since I can remember, and it tends to make me look tired. So i read all the wonderful reviews from people on this website and the products actual website and decided at $35 was enough to risk for a product that supposedly worked wonders. To my dismay, its been 3.5 weeks since I got the item, and I'm fairly certain that my skin looks the same. What I have noticed is that this rescue formula seems to act more like a "cover up" for woman. Although it might work on some minorly dark spots, it didn't improve the spots that I actually bought it for. Now since I'm a nice guy and hopeful, I'm going to continue to use this product for another two-three weeks. If things work out better than I will update this message and give wonderful reviews. Until then, I warn you Not to purchase this product. In addition, I don't like liars.
