What is the difference between using the Hyaluronic Acid Serum vs. the Anti-Aging Serum and/or the eye cream? Trying to decide which to purchase.

I find serum to be more effective, more gentle, and more appropriate. any good brand will do. (e.g youth code facial serum is great too, under regular moisturizer, for daily use.) I would not use eye cream after discovering serum. much better moist, long lasting effect.

I use a moisturizer on top of hyaluronic acid. For me it works best this way. Hope this helps.

Hi, it didn't really work for me. For the cost...I'd expected much more. I've found that high concentration topical vitamin C and hyaluronic acid work in tandem really well! I hope this is helpful!

I use the cream for my face and neck. I've found for under my eyes I get better results from a good eye serum. Also, love the feeling of a serum

Good question. That is not written on the bottle, I just checked. Here's another recommendation: you can buy100% pure hyaluronic acid from Amazon (Timeless skin Care), its much cheaper, and very effective. Its fabulous. I just bought an 8 ounce bottle for $39.95. The Hyaluronic Acid Serum is also excellent but has lots of other stuff in it so if you're want non comegenic maybe you should try the 100% pure one. They both remove eye wrinkles, etc.

It's great that at 23, you're taking charge of your skin care. In reality, all eye creams are technically moisturizers. However, avoid using a face moisturizer around your eyes. The skin around the eyes is very thin and face moisturizers are too heavy for the eyes. In any event, I recommend always using an eye cream or gel. But I do not recommend this product. I had an allergic reaction to the product. Look into an eye cream (or gel) that has few chemicals or even better, one that is organic. Eye creams (or gels) with too many chemicals and preservatives will dry out the skin under the eyes...creating wrinkles. When researching skin care products that are organic, make sure that the item(s) have a seal certifying that the product is most definitely organic. Some products claim to be organic but still have harmful chemicals. Check the label and avoid products with these chemicals: parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, fragrance, formaldehyde and others. You can do a search for the complete list of chemicals to avoid. In closing, DO NOT purchase this product. Do your research. You may spend a little more but you won't be sorry. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I was told that I could use the serum on the upper eye area as well. However, I was sold the Replenishing Eye Cream for the upper lid. I have used the serum on the upper lid but it interfers with my makeup (too oily) but the eye cream on the upper lid works better. Retha

I do not use the eye serum. I think the wrinkle serum works very well around the eyes.

I'm not totally sure what the difference is. My facial gal recommended the ageless total anti-aging serum and I have used that for the year and a half I've been going to her. I am 66 and my skin is firmer and tighter since I've used this. I am trying the Vital C hydrating one right now just to see if there is a difference and at this point I don't see one. Sorry I couldn't be more specific as to the differences. I love the Image Skincare products. My skin has vastly improved since I started using them.

I use it on my eyelids and under my eye daily, and have never noticed any negative reaction. In fact, that is the area where I was most interested in reducing fine lines (and it works). This is not a scary, harsh "acid" despite the name. Hyaluronic acid is an humectant (meaning it helps bind water to the skin to keep it moist), it is NOT the type of harsh acid that is used in chemical peels and other harsh products (those you DO need to be careful with around the eye).

I didn't use any moisturizing cream or lotions. I used only vitamin C serum with vitamin E and a few other ingredients added and I awoke with a brighter complexion and reduced pore size. If you have trouble with dry skin, hyaluronic acid is a great moisturizer. There are many serums on here that others have used after derma rolling and I think they all work well on their own- without adding facial creams. I have rarely used my Cetaphil lotion since using the serums and I have only worn makeup on a few occasions since using the roller and serums. I almost don't see a need for makeup anymore. My under eye circles are almost gone and I've had them my whole life I believe it's the vitamin C serum I use every morning and night after washing my face with Cetaphil bar soap- as recommended by my dermatologist.

Short answer, yes. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring substance in our body especially needed for eyes and joints, it's gelatinous and keeps cells hydrated- this is why use for wrinkles are good some even opt for this injection than the other "normal" Botox injections- why use injections when I have cream no? I love this specific one- I have tried many different hyaluronic acid creams out there this is the best- given it to many friends and family helps w/ peeling skin after chemical peels it's like giving fluid therapy to my face. Also great for pregnancy dry skin. But isn't too oily for oily skin either. This is info I'm just copying from plasticsurgery.org "When this gel is injected, it acts like an inflated cushion to support facial structures and tissues that may have lost volume or elasticity due to normal aging. It also brings water to the surface of skin to keep it looking fresh and supple."

I can't tell about the age but I can tell you the product I got did NOT do what was used on me at a mall in KS. In a matter of SECONDS, yes I said SECONDS, puffiness under my eye was gone. Still, I use the cream and serum because they feel nice on my skin. And I'd prefer NOT paying $120. For each, rather the 25 or 30 on Amazon!!!

I have talked with the tech support on the phone and was told that all the formulas are same in terms of active ingredients, they are just labeled differently for different uses. Some people/contexts need specifically labeled products. There are differences in thickness in some of the products. There is the spray which is pure liquid, the hydrogel which is a light gel, the opthalmalgic formula which is extremely thick (and hurts like HECK in the eye, much prefer the hydrogel or liquid for the eye). Those are the ones I know. There is another question here about which formula is best for what, and that is a very valuable discussion, many of the answers contain valuable animal care insights. What I don't know is if the "Hot Spot" formula is the pure liquid or the gel (in terms of getting what they consider to be the best thickness for that use). You could call their Tech Support and ask them-- they were very friendly to me. But yes, the 16oz is the best deal and has the trigger sprayer which is so much easier to operate, especially when your hands are slippery. I also use this product on myself, they make a whole line for human use but it is ALL the same thing.

I've tried both products (actually tried almost all the Acure products). If you want moisture I would recommend this serum, but it's not something to wear during the day as your face will appear quite shiny & you couldn't put makeup on over it. It is SUPER hydrating & amazing so I highly recommend it. Maybe use the serum at night and the wrinkle complex during the day under makeup.

I don't know the difference. I never used the other one. All I know this one is used for maintenance, after undergoing the initial more intense treatment. The maintenance is very important because the sunspots do come back and it is good to use this cream on a daily basis to keep those dark spots treated.
