I dont normally write reviews, but I have to for this stuff since its so awesome! I dont know what the prior reviewers beef is with this product but I have nothing but great things to say about it! I read about it in People and decided to try it... it totally depuffs my eyes and removed the tiny crows feet that were forming. If you want a super soothing and hydrating eye mask that will make your eyes look amazing, buy this stuff. The first thing people look at when they see you is your eyes, why not invest in making them look uber sexy? Estee Lauder Cooling Eye Illuminator is another good one to use in conjunction with this if you want truly amazing eyes!)

These were gift that I forgot about until last summer. That turned out to a blessing, as I really enjoyed using these sheets in the summertime as they're cooling and refreshing. At first I thought I'd hate them because they looked a bit awkward to use, but in reality, they're a cinch. After cleansing my face, I place them under my eyes, and kick back, watching some TV. I'll often forget how long I have them on. They don't completely dry out, but then do gradually start to peel up on the edges. I should add that the sheets aren't sticky, but because they're so damp, they just naturally stick to my face.

One box contains 12 packets, each with 2 elliptical shaped sheets, that are drenched in the Retinol formula. Pull off the foil top of the package and place one sheet under each eye. There is no "front" or "back" side to the sheets, but Shiseido recommends placing the broader end at the outside of the eye.

I'll admit I was a bit skeptical and didn't think that they would really provide much benefit, but I noticed right away that my skin looked softer and more refreshed. The texture of my skin was smoother and my fine lines did appear to be less noticeable. But would this all disappear by the next morning? Surprisingly not! I woke up and noticed immediately that my under-eye area looked rejuvenated.

Obviously, I need to use these eye sheets every couple days for continued benefit. But as I finish up my first box, I feel like I'm already hooked on Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask. I feel lucky that I got my first box as a gift and shudder at the thought of paying around $60 for another box. But for the summertime at least, when I do enjoy the refreshing benefits of these sheets, I feel it's worth it.

This review is from: Shiseido Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Eye Mask - 12 Packettes (Misc.)

This "Pure Retinol" product lists retinol as the 24th out of the 32 ingredients. Shiseido's website calls "Pure Liquid Retinol" a delivery system, and doesn't even mention retinol as an ingredient while touting hydroxyproline as the magic chemical.

This is actually a good news since retinol is a powerful teratogen, which causes birth defects with pregnant women. There should at least be a warning in bold type on every package if retinol is a substantial ingredient of a cosmetic product.

Lastly, all your skin needs is moisturizer and UV protection. Large molecules don't penetrate the skin and simply and literally go down the drain. Getting rid of the dead skin with abrasion(sea salt, crushed seeds) or dissolution by chemicals (AHA) will temporarily soften the skin but at the same time causes damage since the protection layer is removed, and your skin will work hard to replace the dead cell layer, which makes any "benefits" temporary.

Don't waste your money. Glycerine and a zinc oxide-based sunscreen (Badger, Blue Lizard) would be sufficient.
