He said I could wake in the morning and go out without doing anything to my face, that it had a glow. Couldn’t ask for a better review! These products are high priced but definitely worth it.” Bubette

It is thick and creamy, thus takes a very small amount to get the job done. I use it twice a day. Elizabeth Arden, I want to also thank you for the little scoop that came with this last order. With this cream being in a jar, plus I have long fingernails, this scoop is a wonderful addition. I am 60 years old and I am usually guessed in my 30’s to 40’s. Thank you for this eye cream.” Sharon

Neocutis is slightly pricey but when you want quality and results, you’re going to need to pay for it. They deliver in spades! You won’t be disappointed.” Verified user from Davenport
