Real Women, Real Results
Based on clinical studies, Relastin has been proven to visibly produce changes in the skin in as little as two weeks, based on a clinical study among women aged 45 to 59 who used Relastin Eye Silk for 30 days. The results were astounding:

• 82% saw a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• 75% saw a visible reduction in eye puffiness
• 81% saw improved skin firmness
• 90% thought that Relastin left skin smoother
• 75% said it improved elasticity

How It Works
Relastin takes a revolutionary approach to the aging process by working with your skin's own cells to promote the formation of elastin. Elastin is a protein in the connective tissue of the skin that is elastic that allows it to return to its original state after stretching or contracting. During childhood, elastin fibers are strong and spring back easily, just like a rubber band. During the teenage years, your body stops producing elastin and the fibers start to weaken. Over time, skin loses elasticity, resulting in visible signs of aging--fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.

Relastin's Zinc Firming Complex penetrates deep within the skin to restore lost elasticity. Clinical results show skin treated with Relastin contains more functional elastin than before improving fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. The Relastin formula is also designed to seal in moisture and improve skin's brightness and texture. The result is skin that looks more youthful, radiant, and resilient.

To demonstrate the remarkable changes in skin texture, we took silicone replicas of the surface of the skin before using Relastin and after 30 days of use. These photos capture the visible reduction on the depth, spacing and number of wrinkles.

Customer Reviews

exactly what here creates 'relastin'?
i've seen all the hype about this product on the net and by various 'beauty' editors and i started researching the ingredients. A miracle youth generating eye cream for $69 just seems ..erm...funny...

Ingredients were a bit plastic sounding to me. I was dubious as to how this would 'kick start' relastin production, so I sent the list to a few dermatologists/chemists, and they said that the ingredients are basically solvents (delivery agents) and an antiseptic and sunscreen agent + they were very distrusting of polysyllabic chemicals and could not see any active ingredients that would actually do anything. Hmmm.

It would be really great to see the 'clinical study' results, which i believe were done in Relastin's lab? All I've seen of that study has been the % of women and how they felt in regards to their faces, we don't really know if its relastin, or water retention or just hope that fountain of youth has been found.

Now, i've been putting this on one side of my eye area for 4 weeks and can't see the slightest difference. Feels like im patting in silicone, maybe if i get enough plastic into my eye area it will appear plumped? ;) i'll let you know if things get better.

Wonderful eye treatment, but be patient
I started using the both Relastin skin products a couple of months ago. The eye silk product feels more like an ointment, and I didn't notice much difference for about three weeks. From then on, though, I have seen a significant reduction in the lines and wrinkles around my eyes. Last week I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a while and she was sure I had had cosmetic surgery! Guess I'm hooked. I'd recommend both products.

Not just another coat of paint
OK, I'm a little biased - I love this product. I'm not above "painting over" a few blemishes and imperfections, but it's nice to have a product that actually fixes the root problem. One of the main reasons our skin looks old is that it loses its elastin - Relastin stimulates new elastin production in your skin, for the first time since you were a teenager. Plus, it does a nice job firming and moisturizing. Relastin comes in two versions - I use the Eye Silk because that's my particular neurosis, but my sister likes to use the Revitalizer product on her face and neck. Your call, but I could only fit one in my "fave-five" list of look-young products:

Lancome Absolue Replenishing Cream SPF 15
Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3
Relastin, Eye Silk, 0.5 oz, 15 ml
SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 3oz
RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Serum 1oz

I can't turn back the clock, but I'm not going down without a fight either!
