Amazon Shoppers Say This $20 Firming Under-Eye Treatment Gives Botox-Like Results

In the words of George RR. Martin, "wine makes all things possible." And believe it or not, that even holds true in skin care — resveratrol, a potent antioxidant found in red wine (among red grapes, peanuts, dark chocolate, and yes, skin care), fights off the visible effects of aging in the skin like no other. While you can certainly indulge in a glass of wine to reap its benefits, the anti-aging ingredient is also a key player in the Derma-E Stem Cell Lifting Eye Treatment (Buy It, $20, $25, amazon.com).
Resveratrol is increasingly being utilized within the skin-care world for a variety of reasons: It minimizes inflammation and redness, smoothes over unwanted texture, softens dry patches, and combats environmental pollution (city folk, listen up). And when combined with additional age-defying ingredients, such as copper peptides, plant stem cells, and kakadu plum, you've got one time-reversing formula on your hands.
The Derma-E Stem Cell Lifting Eye Treatment treats the delicate eye area with all of the above in mind, visibly lifting, firming, and tightening crows feet, laugh lines, and wrinkles above and in-between the brows instantaneously (true story: One reviewer saw results in as little as a week.) The treatment also contains other notable additives, such as hyaluronic acid for hydration, and caffeine and niacinamide for brightening dark circles and dullness.

People were so impressed by how the lightweight formula "melts into the skin" without being "greasy or perfumed." One reviewer claims those around them assumed they had gotten Botox after implementing the treatment into their regimen, while other shoppers were blown away by how much their droopy eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags had improved overnight. Even more inspiring, one person shared that it blew products they spent "three times as much" on out of the water.
"I'm nearing 30 [years old] and I've developed some fine lines and a little wrinkling around my eyes, as well as dark circles," shared the same reviewer. "This product helps all of those issues very well, with consistent application. My eye area looks brighter and smoother, and generally more youthful. Improvement begins quickly, and there has been no irritation of any sort on my sensitive skin." (Related: How Under-Eye Filler Can Make You Look Less Exhausted Instantly)
"I've been using this product twice per day for a few weeks and think the area around my eyes does look better," said one customer. "It's definitely smoother to the touch, which is nice. It doesn't have any smell, isn't greasy or oily, and is absorbed well. I also like that it takes a very small amount per eye. It [also] makes me feel good knowing that animals aren't hurt testing my beauty products."
The ultimate self-care? A glass of red wine and an application of the Derma-E Stem Cell Lifting Eye Treatment. Snag it while it's currently 20 percent off on Amazon — this $20 price tag won't last forever.
