What is Hydroxatone InstantEffect?

Hydroxatone InstantEffect is said to be 90 seconds wrinkle reducer for the eye area.  They say this non irritating serum can make your skin look 10 years younger in a matter on 1 ½ minutes. It claims that it dramatically reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet and reduce the appearance of puffiness and swelling that can be common with the delicate skin found around the eye. They say the key to this amazing product is micronized-firming ingredients, skin-tightening crystals, moisturizing agents and vitamins cause the skin to tighten on contact and can last up to 8 hours and may be reapplied as often as needed.

 

Hydroxatone InstantEffect Ingredient Profile

The key elements they suggest are (as mentioned above) micronized-firming ingredients, skin-tightening crystals, moisturizing agents and vitamins. And from the information they give, it looks like Silicate Crystals are there active ingredient. These crystals are known to tighten the appearance of skin and deliver a light-diffusing effect.

Hydroxatone InstantEffect Cons

• Some speculation that the alcohol found in this serum is really what is causing the tightening effect. If this is the case than this could lead to drying of the skin in the eye area.

 

Final Thoughts

I’m not usually on the fence about a product, but in this case I am. The product reviews  and a before and after picture (which is on the company website, so it could totally just be airbrushed and touched up) raised my interest in this product. But the thought that the true reason this serum is working is due to the alcohol in the compound. If this is the case then it could cause drying of the skin and with how delicate that skin is, I don’t think putting a drying alcohol is the best thing for it and I can’t help but wonder if this could cause more damage in the future. I think for myself I will pass on this eye complex and continue on using an eye product full of peptides, antioxidants and moisturizers. They may not give me results in 90 seconds, but that I know is enriching, moisturizing and healing this area that is so fragile and susceptible to damage.

I think that if you are looking for a quick fix then this may be a product that is right for you, but overall I don’t think this is the best product for someone who truley wants to turn around the appearnce of their skin. Look for products that have proven clinical results. I have seen many products out there that can blow this “instant” product out of the water. Obviously the eye creams and products that I think are the best won’t work as quickly as this instant product, but honestly I think that to rebuild the skin at a cellular level is a much better route and will give much more satisfying results overall.
