I've been using Jeunesse Instantly Ageless for years I tried this because I'm looking for a product that does the same thing for less. I figure they all use the same ingredient, a sodium silicate, to achieve the same results, tightened skin, and Jeunesse is expensive and comes in tiny vials that make for a lot of product loss at the bottom of each vial.
So far so good. I'm getting the same results. Smooth under eyes. I put it on as a test and it held for 8 hours. Haven't tried it for longer but that's a good sign. I've had Jeunesse on for 14 hours and it held. An 8 hour first test is all good.
I'm seeing negative reviews and I think some of those are because of not knowing how to use this. It takes trial and error to be good at this. Think of the first time you tried to put on liquid eye liner or false eye lashes or contacts. It took a few tries to get it right. This is the same. It takes practice and trial and error to get it right.
Sodium silicate liquid must go on OVER makeup. If you put it on first and put makeup on top of it, that breaks it down, smears it out, and it won't work. Ditto for sunscreen and such. Put this on last.
Sodium silicate works best with water based and powder foundations. Oil based foundations break down the sodium silicate compound and it won't work as well with those.
When putting it on on top of foundation, stroke it into the foundation in the direction you want the skin to lift. It will always follow the direction you apply it in. Do not stroke down.
If you put it on top of liquid foundation and the liquid foundation starts to smear, reapply the liquid foundation under the eyes and go again. It's easier with powder foundation, powder foundation blends more readily with the compound.
The two foundations I've used this with this type of product with the most success are Smashbox water based liquid foundations and E.L.F. powder foundations.
It takes practice to get the amount right. If you put too much on, it will be crusty and will look wrinkly and patchy. If you're looking crusty, wrinkly, or patchy, you put too much on.
If it isn't taking at all, you probably put too little on. Add a little. You don't have to take it or the make up off to do that. Just reapply on top of what is there.
Do not rub this into the skin. It's not lotion. It's not supposed to absorb. It works on the surface. Think of it like eye shadow. You don't rub eye shadow into the skin. You blend it on top of skin. This is the same.
Cover as little area as possible to get the results you want. I only use this right below the inner and center eye area and stroke up. That pulls everything up I need and the thing about this is, it smooths and tightens the skin under the eyes, but it also creates a surface area that is a little more brittle than normal under eye skin. That will crease more than normal, and you'll end up with a lot of lines under your eyes you don't need when you smile if you smear this all over. So, if you only need it in a small area, only use it in that small area, don't smear it all over.
I love sodium silicate under eye products. They make for great close ups in photos and look great in Zoom meetings. But. It took practice and trial and error learning how to use them. Don't give up if you gave it one try and it didn't work. Change the amount, change the application, change the foundation makeup you are using. Put it on AFTER foundation, not before. Stroke it on the direction you want the skin to lift. Just keep working at it, just like you did with any other new makeup product you never used before.

Suggested Usage & Study Results
(1) Start by cleansing with an oil-free cleanser. Make sure skin is completely dry. Do not use cream around the eye area. (2) Shake the tube. Apply a pea-sized amount to the top of the hand. (3) Using a clean, dry makeup brush, pick up a tiny amount of the product. (4) Using upward strokes, spread a thin layer of the gel underneath the eyes for puffiness, onto the crow's feet area, onto the "11" lines between the brows, and beneath and above the brow bone (but not on the moveable eyelid). (5) Let the product dry for approximately 5 minutes while remaining expressionless—do not squint or smile. (6) If you notice any white residue, simply moisten a cotton swab (or your fingertip) and remove excess by gently patting the edges. (7) Once product is completely dry, you are good to go! You can gently pat on foundation and/or apply powder. For external use only.

WORKS but PLEASE READ THIS
It ACTUALLY WORKS, but you MUST not get a drop of moisture on the applied area because the magical barrier (that smooths out the bags and puffiness) literally breaks down immediately and the effect is gone. Like others have mentioned, you have to shake it first and every time - even though it’s a paste in a tube and you’d think you would not have to shake it… But you have to shake it anyway even if you think it’s not mixing. Use a pea size amount on each eye and use your finger to LIGHTLY DAB an extremely thin coating - go across the entire width of your under eye area and get as close to Your bottom eyelashes as you can without getting the product into your eyes (because it will burn). Do not MOVE your face and fan it with an index card. It’ll work - but do not put ANYTHING on top or near it because the second you do the composition or the “magical barrier” Completely breaks down and the puffiness and bags are immediately back. I go so far as to put my contact lenses in first, brush my teeth first, dry my hair first - anything at all that eliminates the possibility of moisture. Lastly, sometimes you’ll get a weird mark under your eye, almost like a ring mark. I think that when the area “smooths out” it can connect freckles or age marks for some reason, And you’ll have a weird dark marking under your eyes… Since you cannot put make up on top of it then you’re stuck with depuffed eyes but with weird marks under your eyes. I tried mixing in a teeny amount of Bare Minerals dry powder into the pea size amount and I think it worked! Smooth area and no marks today. Please see photos - not sure the order you can see them but the puffy eyes are the before and I am cautiously optimistic. I’ll give an update at a later time. Just wish they could give more product in a bigger tube and REDUCE the price. Otherwise this’ll end up costing as much as a lower blepharoplasty. UPDATE: found a much CHEAPER price!! Walmart online has it for $28 instead of $48 which is what I’ve paid at cosmetic and beauty supply stores. I tested and it’s not a knockoff. Life has its little victories.
