Top Pick
MD Ultimate Eye Cream Review comes in just short of our #1 pick for a few reasons. While this product contains ingredients that are known to be beneficial for reducing the signs of aging, it doesn’t have any patented ingredients on the list. We like that this product has a long list of key ingredients, but we still needed to investigate their effectiveness.
Is MD Ultimate Eye Cream Effective?
While this product does contain a blend of ingredients that are said to have benefits, there is no scientific evidence to support the inclusion of each ingredient. For example, Artemisia absinthium extract has not been shown to produce any benefits as a topical agent. That being said, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate has been shown to reduce wrinkles. Shea butter is rich in antioxidants and a powerful emollient, while soluble collagen fills in wrinkles giving this cream its “filler” reputation.
Another strike against this product was the pricing. It is more expensive than our top product and half the volume, without patented ingredients to raise its value. We also don’t like the presence of a subscription offer on the check out page. Too often, it is easy to subscribe to a product but the unsubscribe option is always harder. If you get caught up and forget to cancel your subscription, you could always return the products. However, MD doesn’t offer a 100% money-back guarantee and charges a 10$ restocking fee.
MD calls this product “filler in a bottle” because it is intended to fill in your skin and make it look plump, firm, and beautiful. The cream comes in a pump bottle which is something that we always look for when it comes to creams. A pump bottle keeps the cream airtight which protects from oxidation and contamination. One pump, twice a day, is all it takes to apply in both eye regions and give your skin what it needs to reverse the aging process.
Is MD Ultimate Eye Cream Safe?
MD Ultimate Eye Cream contains parfum which if you sound it out, sounds like perfume. This is no coincidence as parfum is a fragrance. Parfum is not an ingredient name; it’s a placeholder for a list of secret ingredients that consumers aren’t told. When a product is fragrance-free, it’s something to publicize because fragrances have been found to sometimes cause adverse skin reactions. Parfum is a potential irritant, which can actually have the opposite effect than consumers hope to get from a skin care cream. If you’re prone to reactions, then it would be safer to find a fragrance-free eye bag cream.
Summary
We believe this could be a quality product, based on the number of key ingredients. It does have the necessary ingredients to make it a “filler” cream that decreases sagging skin, and could reduce eye bags. However, there is a lack of transparency when it comes to its ingredients, which means it may not be as effective as it claims to be. We don’t know which ingredients are active or how much of the ingredients are included. It also contains no patented ingredients and does not come with a 100% money back guarantee, which is disappointing considering the price of the product. The inclusion of parfum/fragrance also contributed to this product's place as number 2.
