Works!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is the first product in my anti-aging line of defense for good reason. Most effective product I’ve ever used and I’ve tried them all – Nia24, Perricone, Murad, Revaleskin, and a host of others. Inexpensive, it’s got it all. Firmness increased quickly. DMAE also has been shown to help the lips appear fuller. Studies indicate that two weeks after use, improvements in skin remained. I’d have given this product a full five stars but, because of the oils, it doesn’t absorb as quickly as I’d like, so I recommend waiting 20-30 minutes after application to apply make-up. (It doesn’t cause my acne prone skin to break-out, but I’ve been using a Clarisonic and generic micro exfoliator as well. Not all oils cause breakouts – some can even be drying to skin.)

Good product

I combine this with the Hyauluronic Acic Serum before applying moisturizer to my face. It makes my skin glow.

Good product, for a number of reasons, for the prevention, and treatment, of fine lines.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I don’t want to say that this product creates a permanent effect, because – just because it’s working right now (while I’m actually still using it) – it doesn’t mean that once I stop using it that the effects will remain; however – within the framework of my current and past use of it – the product has removed all of the fine lines on my forehead; if I cease use, they might come back.
Either way… what’s pleasantly surprising about this product are the varied, proven ingredients in one inexpensive product: Vitamin A, Ester-c, DMAE, of course, Vitamin E, etc., all for one low price.
Before trying this, I spent lots of money on ineffective, name brand products and only succeeded in irritating my skin, after a few weeks of regular use. If you have fine lines (I can’t speak on deep wrinkles, as I don’t have any), I would recommend this as a treatment. Good luck.
*UPDATE: after I stopped using the product – the lines remained gone. This stuff is the real deal.

Overwhelming Coconut Scent
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
If you don’t mind smelling like suntan lotion or a pina coloda on your face all day, then this is for you. The fragrance never dissipates and inserts the scent over anything you eat or drink all day. Think coconut latte, coconut pizza. On the label, the fragrance is in the middle of the ingredients. I certainly don’t want more coconut and kiwi extract than the stuff that’s actually supposed to be helping my skin. Get Reviva’s DMAE gel. That’s about all that’s in there and no smell.

Poor Product… but it smells good
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Unless you plan on buying this product simply because it makes your skin soft and it smells really good, please do not buy it.
I bought this product because of its many “powerful” ingredients, with the hopes of taking advantage of having a product that would aide in the tone and texture of my skin. After several months and several bottles later, I have yet to see any improvement. The product is very greasy, slightly sticky and worse of all, it is highly comedogenic (aggravates acne). It is definitely not recommended for those with acne proned or oily skin… probably not even combination skin.
Sarcastic Remarks: But it makes your skin soft and it smells really good. You would get the same effect by slathering baby oil all over your face.

Irritates my skin
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I have to admit that the product makes my skin look better, but I cannot continue to use it. The product irritates my sensitive skin and the fragrance gives me a headache. I think companies feel they need to add fragrance to overcome the fishy smell of the DMAE. I wish I could give this product a good review beacause the price is good and many of the ingredients are proven to be beneficial to the skin. If you don’t have sensitive skin and aren’t bothered by fragrance, its worth a try. Good luck!

Kiwi and Coconut
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
They call this a moisturizing “lotion” but you may need to use a regular moisturizer in addition to the Serums from Skin Eternal.
This product will make your skin softer. The secret? A combination of nutrients and plant extracts that are easily absorbed into the skin. With continued use, you will notice your skin feels softer and replenished. This product is scented kiwi and coconut.
I’d recommend this for daily use under your normal moisturizer. I use Eternal Serums all over my entire body and buy about one bottle every two or so weeks. Just a tiny amount mixed into body creams also helps the skin all over your body feel amazingly soft. The Chamomile Flower Extract, Vitamin C and slpha-Lipoic acid are great additions to your skin-care routine.
Ingredients: Deionized Water, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 80, Glycerin, DMAE, Vitamin C-Ester (Ascorbyl Palmitate), Polyethylene Glycol, MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), Coconut Fragrance, alpha-Lipoic Acid, Kiwi Fragrance, Simethicone, Aloe Vera, Methylparaben, Biotin, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D-3, Vitamin E, Calcium Pantothenate, Coenzyme Q10, and Chamomile Flower Extract
Also look for the Skin Eternal Serum that is scented with lemon and lavender. It has the addition of Glycolic Acid for gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells.

wonderful product!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been using this product for a few months now and I can’t imagine being without it! It goes on a bit greasy, and I got used to the smell but it makes my skin glow and it helps with lines as well. I’ve even put a few drops in some olive oil which I use as an after shower moisturizer. I love this stuff!

The Fountain of youth…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
It is a well documented fact that DMAE is found in Wild Alaskan Salmon; along with Omega-3 fatty acid which is a huge benefit to the human body, DMAE does in fact tighten skin and improve the texture of skin. What you put on your skin is just as important as what you consume in order to help your skin from the inside out. One thing I see over and over when reading facial cream reviews is women complaining about puffy under-eye area…one of the best things you can easily do to improve or even entirely rid yourself of this problem is CUT DOWN ON SALT. “If you have puffy bags under your eyes in the morning, you are almost certainly consuming much more salt than you need,” says Doris Day, M.D., author of Forget the Facelift: Turn Back the Clock with a Revolutionary Program for Ageless Skin (book). Another problem is alcohol: It dehydrates skin and can make skin sag. The worst combination is alcohol and salt, which causes puffy dark circles under your eyes; reduce sodium intake to eliminate bloating. Instead of salt, season your meals with herbs and spices like oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley and garlic. Also, a lot of under eye puffiness comes from congested sinuses; use a netti pot to irrigate your sinuses; you will breathe better and look better. So remember, use DMAE to help tighten skin, make sure you are getting plenty of Omega-3, CUT DOWN SALT and treat your sinuses to a day at the spa and irrigate them with a soothing, warm saline solution. The one I use is SinuCleanse. Source Naturals is the most cost effective DMAE source I have found; any DMAE solution will work, it is up to the consumer to do the research; just one product is not going to perform a miracle no matter how much you pay for it…it is all about understanding why you have puffy eyes and what to do to resolve it from the inside and how to repair it from the outside. The one thing that concerns me is the claim of this product that if you have puffy eyes it may take longer to see results…you would think a research company would know the cause of the puffiness and make suggestions about how to rectify the problem. You can use this product every day till the end of time and it won’t do anything to relieve the puffiness…YOU have to cut down on salt…then the DMAE can repair the skin. Good Luck!

I love this stuff!

This is a wonderful product that I use every morning as soon as I awaken. I live in a dry climate and my skin really soaks it up! My skin then feels moist and soft.

Great Firming Product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been using this product for the last seven years. Keeps my skin firm and smooth. My skin glows. The best alternative to Dr. Perricone’s line at a fraction of the cost, maybe even better than his products. I also combined this with the Hyaluronic Serum. Would recommend this product very highly.

Good at Firming the Skin
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a less expensive version of the Perricone product – much less expensive!
I am looking for a better firming treatment but have not tried many due to budget considerations. This product does firm the under eye area and the whole face. I liked it so well, I sent my Mom some. She did not care for the smell. If anyone knows of a better, cost effective product I’d love to know what it is.

Excellent results
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
After much research about the firming effects of DMAE, I chose this product based on positive reviews and reasonable cost. I apply it as directed, once in the morning under moisturizer/sunscreen, and once at night under moisturizer. I’ve also been extending it to my neck and chest and backs of my hands. After two weeks, the results are quite noticable. Skin is visibly taut and firm, and wrinkles are diminished. I combine this with a once-a-week treatment of glycolic acid peel. My only reason for not giving this product 5 stars is due to the smell. The heavy vanilla scent is very strong. That being said, I will order this product again.

Don’t call me Ma’am!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is seriously great product-once you put it on you will feel it instantly working. I agree with the other reviewer(s) that it stings a little, but that is the effect of the product doing it’s job. I use this along with something made by Jason Organic Teatime green tea facial cream. Everything in the product is often mimicked by high end(read-WAAAAY more expensive) product lines. I almost went out and bought Estee Lauder Time Zone but remembered how well this worked and saved about 40 bucks!!!
