Not worth the cost. Wish I hadn't wasted my money. It can help if you apply it right, but usually you end up with a white residue under your eyes. It's unable to be paired with any makeup, which defeats the purpose when you would only wear this to go with makeup in most circumstances. Save your money, do not purchase this product. Show details

Had a terrible reaction to it. Bought it today and tried it and it stung so bad I had to take it off. Even after washing it off when I run my fingers over my skin it feel like pins are being stuck in my skin, and it's so sore. It's like I've had some stinging plant touch my eyes and there are tiny needles still stuck in there. The effect was also… Read more

trash, it tightened the skin but made it wrinkle in a really weird way and felt very strange on my face. Worst thing was the stinging though, I have no idea what's in it to be causing this pain, but never touching it again. A total waste of $24.

Hate it – I find that no matter how I apply it it is crusty and dries like a white powder on your skin. The only time it isn't noticeable is if I put a miniscule amount but then it doesn't do its job. I will never buy this or any skin doctors product again. Leaves your skin white, crusty and feels horrible. And the pump seems to get clogged all the time and… Read more

doesn't work. I wash it out and it never works. I have to unscrew it to use it. BINNED. You can see in the pic the white line on my cheekbone. It actually looks worse in person. My camera doesn't show detail too well.

Very happy with product – The last few bottles I have purchased seem to be an improved formula, easier to apply and leaves a much smoother result, disguising puffy eyes. I keep a pin handy to pierce the applicator as the product can dry out and a blockage can occur. More than happy with the results, would highly recommend. Show details

Great product – I love the product. But I put it on after I've done my makeup not BEFORE as it says. I have complained to the company about the nozzle as it clogs up and then have to unscrew it. This causes wastage so not happy. They don't listen. Show details

Don't bother with this product. It does tighten the skin. I shook it vigorously as instructed, ran a small line under the eyes. It left a gritty residue and some whiteness. Also caused wrinkling of the skin where it had tightened. I didn't like it one bit. Disappointed Show details

Skin Doctors Instant Eye Lift – I purchased skin doctors instant eyelift and sadly was very dissatisfied with the product. After just one use it stopped pumping and I took it back to chemist warehouse with my receipt and the lady at the counter pumped it so hard, that it all came out. I lost so much as a result. She never apologised but just handed me the bottle back. Well, it… Read more

stopped pumping yet again. I left it for a few weeks and then went to try it, only to find out it had crusted all over and even opening the bottle, I had nothing left. I am so upset having spent a lot on this, and after reading reviews also stating about the pump not working, suggest you rethink about purchasing this product.

The bottle design is the problem – I bought a second bottle and, like the first one. it is faulty.. When shaking. liquid leaked out of the whole spray top assembly into the clear plastic lid. This has wasted much of the fluid. I hope the manufacturer - if it is aware of this - has rectified the bottle dispensing fault.

Have been using for years. Overall quite happy. I tap it over my makeup. Sometimes it looks white. I have actually complained about their dispenser a couple of times but it is still rubbish. I screw the top of and dab on my finger. This causes wastage. Please take note Skin Doctors! Show details

Not worth the money – The eyelift serum leaves a white residue once applied to skin. It gets crusty after it dries and you can’t put makeup over the top of it. The pump bottle is ineffective in that it blocks after the first use. Trying to get the pump to work caused the serum to spurt into my eye. Definitely not worth the money! Show details

What has happened to this product? – I have been using Instant Eyelift for years. I loved it. My new bottle is thick and like glue. Leaves white scaly patches under my eyes. I look like a panda. The pump dispenser gets clogged up and sets like concrete . Have to poke around in it with a pin. What has happened to a once fantastic product? Make it like you used to Skin Doctors. Wont be buying it again. Very disappointed. Show details

When this works it is fantastic! – The first bottle I bought was great Have now bought this product 4 times and 3 out of the four bottles doesn't work. The serum is thick and gluggy and the pump action doesn't work, such a waste of money Show details

Don't waste your money – I've tried a couple of "eye lift" goos. None of them work but this is the worst. The lid broke on the first day so the pump action wouldn't work. It goes on white and crusty no matter how little you use or what kind of gentle sweeping action you apply it with. I'm done with buying these products that make false claims. I feel ashamed of myself for… Read more

getting sucked in yet again. Total waste of money. Better off to have surgery or just make amends with your wrinkles. Skin Doctors my [Content Removed].

Works but bad dispenser – Great followed directions bags disappear. 2nd time I used it pump dispenser stopped working. Have to open lid and use a cotton bud to get it out. This is NOT good as the air gets to the product total waste of money. Show details

Disappointed – I followed instructions, read other users advice on application, but I STILL end up with white residue and I've not used more than a dot of this product. The minute make up is applied the effect is ruined. Very disappointing result. Show details

Read the reviews before you buy! – This is not an anti-wrinkle cream - it is a glue like product that sticks your face in place. Feels fake and uncomfortable. Prone to visible white powder once dry. If you don't mind the sensation of your skin being glued in place, then maybe under makeup it would be OK but for me..... in the bin. Do they take refunds? Show details

Waste of Money – Was excited to use and so very disappointed with the results did exactly as directed but ended up with dry chalked look and after a short time wrinkles looked worse wish I’d read the reviews before purchasing Show details

Waste of money – I purchased the Instant Eyelift Cream and used carefully as per directions. I was very disappointed with the results. They claim that the product Instantly smooths away eye bags, puffiness and wrinkles in 5 minutes and gives an immediate lifting effect to smooth and lift that lasts up to 8 hours. However, after using this product (closely to… Read more

directions) I found that although wrinkles are smoothed after drying, the minute you start smiling or using facial expressions, the product cracks and the wrinkles come back, looking deeper than ever and it does not lessen nor get rid of eye bags or puffiness. It did not last 8 minutes let alone the 8 hours they claim on their website. I gave it several chances, each time following directions closely. Each time I got the same disappointing results. This product was a total waste of money.

Purchased with a broken pump – From the minute it came out of the packaging the pump didn't work. I also couldn't unscrew the lid. So because I couldn't get the product out of the bottle and I didn't keep the receipt, I had to throw it away without ever using it. Complete waste of money due to faulty packaging. If they can't get the easy part right, I have my doubts about the quality of the product also.

Crusty white residue left around eyes – Despite using only 1 small pump in total for both eyes, I'm left with awful dried, white powdery muck around my eyes. Research showed this is a very common problem. I've contacted the company direct seeking refund / replacement with another product and awaiting reply. Seems others who have contacted them have not been assisted which is very disappointing. If that's the case, we need to name them Dodgy Doctors instead of Skin Doctors. Show details

skin doctors eye lift – I will never buy this product again, it dries crusty and makes my lines look worse than they are, when I have used it my husband has commented on it, he said it makes me look like I have more lines. I have very good skin but I do have some some crows feet from squinting. So So disappointed a waste of money Show details

Not effective – Dries badly, actually made me look like I had more wrinkles. Used it exactly as instructed. It takes away the puffiness but if you move your face (which of course you do after it dries completely) the effect wears off. Show details

Worse beauty product I have ever bought! – I bought this to try and reduce fine lines under my eyes but it actually created more wrinkles because it dries hard under the eye. You can’t wear concealer under or over the top as it makes the product go crusty and peel. Do not waste your money. Show details

I did have a bad review, but I've changed it! – It is good if u have patience to apply a few times and washing off white residue and wait till the next day. It does tighten and reduce puffy bags under eyes. It doesn't get rid of dark circles. I have less wrinkles but u need to apply a few times to see results. Show details

MY OPINION

The concept is there! – Easy to apply. I found that if you mix a little foundation with it, then apply, it is easier to put your makeup over the top, otherwise it tends to drag. Don’t make facial movements for a couple of minutes. Bags seem to disappear BUT it feels like you have PVA glue on your face, and when you smile or show expression, you seem to have ‘wrinkles’ under your eyes instead!!

Fixed something I didn't know I could fix! – For years I've had a Milia bump under my eye and I could never get rid of it and I was always so self conscious about it. I only started used the Skin Doctors serum after my mother bought it and she suggested I use it for my dark under eye circles, while I haven't seen a difference in my under eye circles, only days ago I realised it had removed… Read more

my Milia and could not have been happier! I cried tears of joy when I realised this and would definitely recommend this to anyone who asks!

Fantastic product, works EXACTLY as advertised – Bought this for my mother who is in her 70's and suffers badly with bags and wrinkles and dark circles under her eyes. She tried it and WOW, just WOW. She is so very happy with the results. I also tried it and think I used too much; less is definitely more! One of the other posters suggested keeping in the fridge, great idea! On my… Read more

second attempt, I used a cotton bud to apply with much better results. I think it's personal preference. My mum is fine dabbing a small amount gently around the eye and crows feet area whereas I prefer the level of control I get using a cotton bud.

Will buy this again, 100%

Why change? – The formula has been changed and the new product is just not as good. Why would you change it? It used to work so well.
