Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream-Active Copper, Does It Work?

When I was a very young tot I would go over to my Grandmothers house every Saturday. Upon arriving she always had a box filled with beauty products on her table. If we didn't walk in to her plucking her eyebrows, she was applying gobs of facial lotions. I guess the love for beauty products is genetic, because I followed her footsteps.

I remember her always telling me 'Melissa, if you don't put on moisturizers, you're face will get all wrinkly, and you will end up looking like your other Granny', (hehe, Grandma rivalry; But heck yes she was right! My fathers mother was covered in wrinkles, and there was no way I wanted skin like that!) 'See my skin Melissa? Wrinkle free at 55!' (and she was right. Her skin was as flawless as mine at 5 years old. Firm, soft, and looking radiant as always).
 
Some are quick to blame genetics for their wrinkles, but my Grandma... perhaps genetics had a part, but I sort of formulated the idea that facial care played a huge part as well, and I thought to myself then, at 5 years old, that I better start my facial care regime right then and there.

In my time I have tried tons of products, from lotions to eye creams, to body exfoliators. I've pretty much tried it all, and when I was given a small glass tub of Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream, I sort of had a felling it wouldn't work well, because most Neutrogena facial products I've used have always had a tendency to suck!

Inside of this small 0.5 ounce container you can see that the cream inside is a pale minty colored green thanks to the see through glass container.

The directions on the small container simply state to rub it all over eye area daily, and to avoid getting it in your eyes.

The promise on the package that Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream came in states that using Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream will improve skins elasticity and firmness. It has something to do with the active copper formula which delvers copper deep within skins surface, to improve the skin. I guess that was why they used a copper colored lid for the glass container. How clever.

How did it work though is the main question?
 
Well... hmm...
 
Gee, I can't say I'm impressed with Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream at all. I applied it daily in the morning for about 2 weeks straight, and saw absolutely nothing different. My eyes looked the same, my skin looked the same. By week 3 with no results, I finally tossed Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream to the curb, and marked her off as another waste of money.

Overall:
 
Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream is a waste of money.
