“Hydrosil Eye Gel is pure magic! I've suffered for over a year with dermatitis (likely menopause-onset) that primarily affected my eyelids. I get flare-ups in which my eyes are red, burning, itching, and raw -- especially in the creases of my wrinkles. The flare-up would last days, and the only thing that provided soothing were petroleum jelly and/or prescription Hydrocortizone. Neither is ideal, for various reasons. I tried Callendula cream, which mostly just burned and intensified the itch, especially initially. I also tried Calamine lotion, which provided relief by dried my skin into leather. I'd been researching for over a year what might be wrong with my skin (other spots on my face and most of my neck would flare up as well), and didn't find a single thing that really matched my symptoms. . . UNTIL. . . I saw an article on Skin Shop's blog: write-ups and photos of four women, all around my age, whose swollen eyelids and neck looked exactly like mine! I decided to give the Hydrosil Eye Care Duo pack for my eyelids and under-eyes, and the Hydrosil Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve for my face and neck. I noticed a difference right away -- application did not burn or sting, so that was my first pleasant surprise. I felt soothing within about 10 minutes, and the itch also disappeared. Since that first application, I've used the eye gel and salve twice a day, every day. The worst spots are significantly reduced in redness and irritation, and some of the spots on my face are gone. My skin is soft and moisturized and is really starting to feel much more like its younger self, pre-onset of this awful dermatitis. I'm sold! NOTHING has remedied like these two products have. In fact, I'm about to place my second order for them, and will continue forward with these two products. These are my new facial skin-care regimen. The concealer is really nice too. I don't normally use much concealer or any foundation on my face, but it's nice to have a concealer on hand for days with I need it, that I know will not cause or intensify irritation around my eyes. In summary, I really love these products, and I'm so grateful to have stumbled across the article that introduced me to them. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Skin Shop!”
“I have been suffering from eczema on my eyelids. Very painful and itchy. As soon as I started using the gel it calmed down and was cleared up within a day. This truly is a fabulous product. I shall keep some in now all the time. Concealer is good too. I use as a base before applying eye shadow.”
“I have been suffering with terribly dry and swollen skin around my eyes - to the point I was having to wear sunglasses all of the time. I've no idea why this started, I was taking antihistamines, using some cream the pharmacy suggested etc but nothing helped. The eye gel I purchased from Skin Shop has been the answer to all of my prayers - it worked within a few days, my eyes are back to normal, but I am continuing to apply it.”
“I used the dry eye gel post C02 laser resurfacing around my eyes. After I was told to stop the initial use of petroleum by my MD, I switched to this and it worked wonders for relieving the itching and dryness without any irritation or stinging. My eyes have always been extreemly sensitive and I am an allergy sufferer. The concealer was also amazing in covering up the redness that is normal after laser resurfacing. I had no problems with the concealer applicator and it was quite easy to dispense. I found patting the product into the skin gave better coverage than rubbing. Thank you for making such an amazing product.”
“I was hoping the gel would work on my red skin around my eyes. I had read reviews from others on this site that it had cleared theirs up. I've only been using it for a few days but I don't see any signs that it working yet. I like the gel though, it has a smooth, cool feeling as it goes on and when I use the concealer on top, it makes a big difference. The concealer is nice but there's not a lot in it for the price.”
