- “You can use it around your eyes to help diminish the appearance of those little fine dehydration wrinkles”▶ 1:35

Olay$29.99
mixsoon$31.50

- “It allows you more control of where the product goes as opposed to pouring it into your hand and trying to pat it into the skin. Less likely to drip”▶ 6:39
- “The collagen is very hydrating as an ingredient. It's not like a complete gimmick to have that in there”▶ 7:10
- “Does have orange peel and lavender oils. You're allergic to fragrance, this is one to pass on”▶ 7:28
StriVectin$82.00
RoC$29.99- “This has caffeine, which can help to improve the appearance of under-eye puffiness, along with peptides again, going to be moisturizing”▶ 8:31

Abib$20.70
espoir$25.00- “This claims to contain caffeine, which again, under the eyes can help with puffiness, but it's also an antioxidant”▶ 11:25

- “This does have fragrance, so not an option for those of you who are allergic”▶ 11:49
Olay$29.99
StriVectin$79.00- “They've put vitamin C in with retinol”▶ 13:16
- “I'm not seeing ascorbic acid. I'm seeing a bunch of the wimpy derivatives that, you know, may help with evening out skin tone, warding off oxidative stress. Not useless”▶ 13:36
- “This also has fragrance though, which, you know, can be irritating”▶ 13:56

- “There's even some evidence for its use in improving the final appearance of stretch marks”▶ 14:25
- “If you've never used it before and then you don't like it, then that's quite a bit of product. That's something to keep in mind with Costco”▶ 14:34
Lubriderm$4.97- “This is a decent like moisturizer. It does what it's supposed to do, moisturizes the skin”▶ 14:43
- “This is a really good value right now though, y'all”▶ 14:50
- “You can use this on the face. Dip on in there and put it on your face”▶ 15:09
- “Might feel a little heavy, not to your liking, but it's not prohibited”▶ 15:15

- “This is formulated for the American market. So it's got the standard American chemical sunscreen ingredients”▶ 18:02
- “It does have a fragrance”▶ 18:11
- “Doesn't appear to be water resistant. So got to be careful because it may run into your eyes more readily since it's not”▶ 18:32
