A Cellex C Product to Erase the Signs of Time? The Eye Contour Gel

There are various Cellex C product options for minimizing the signs of aging in the eye area. One of the more high profile among these is the Eye Contour Gel. It is part of the company's lineup of formulas that contain the Cellex-C Patented Complex. According to the manufacturer, regular use of this gel will result in minimizing the sagging of the skin above and below the eyes and the appearance of wrinkles around the area.

The Eye Contour Gel is recommended by Cellex to all skin types, except for the most sensitive kind of skin. It is said to be effective in promoting skin resilience and elasticity around the eyes where the signs of aging are usually highly manifested. The company states that results can be seen within eight to 12 weeks of daily use.

Comments from users

"This is a great eye gel, it really does smooth the eye area and takes years off my appearance. One drawback is that it can leave an orange/brown color on the skin. It washes right off."

"I have been using this product for several years and it is simply great. It is a little bit expensive but it is worthwhile."

"I have used the eye contour gel for eight months, as per package directions. I followed it exactly. Instead of decreasing the fine lines I had under my eyes, it actually made them worse...It may be just me, but I would not recommend this product."
Excerpt from a customer review on epinions.com

"...After three days, I started feeling some burning sensations and after four I could see the burns and redness. I stopped using the product for a week to let my skin heal and tried again: same exact issues...this product just burns my skin."

Our opinion

Mixed reviews on this one. Definitely not for everybody and absolutely not for people with sensitive skin. This will probably work on people who have severe skin problems in the eye area (like very dark spots, wart-like dots and really sagging under-eye skin) since it seems to be formulated quite strongly. But for those who have minimal fine lines, we don't think this is the right product for you. And for people with sensitive skin - don't even think about it!

Our verdict

Use it only if you have severe eye-area skin problems. However, we do commend the manufacturer for giving enough warnings, detailed explanations and other information about the product on their Web site so as not to mislead potential buyers. For that, we notch the rating a bit higher than we would have normally done. Honesty is still the best policy. Even in marketing.
