Consumer Reports' review of antiwrinkle eye creams

Consumer Reports did an article on eye creams earlier this year that is now only available to subscribers. Luckily, The Washington Post reported on it today in a story titled "It's hard to see creams' value." Among the antiwrinkle creams deemed "worth a try" were Dr. Brandt Lineless Eye Cream and Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-Aging Booster Eye Transforming Cream. I was at Sephora over the weekend to look at the Dr. Brandt Lineless cream and was kind of dismayed that it does not have the special proprietary ingredient "hydroxyprolisilane CN" that's available in the Dr. Brandt Lineless cream for face. That ingredient could be too irritating to use near the eyes, but I didn't see anything in the Lineless eye cream that would seem to produce cumulative, corrective results, rather than just temporary, protective benefit. It sounds like none of the creams really knocked Consumer Reports' socks off.
