Overview
Life Cell is another eye care product that seems to have a large presence on the Internet, thanks to an aggressive “affiliate” program, which means that this product is available not only directly through the manufacturer, but also through several third-party vendors. After several days of sifting through the information on this formula, we found the actual web site posted by the distributors. According to the company, Life Cell was created by a physician with an Ivy League medical degree, whose sole purpose was to create an all-in-one formula that could not only reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the facial area in general, but also one that would help target the specific problems associated with the eyes, including dark circles, crow’s feet and under-eye puffiness. In our experience, this is a difficult if not impossible task to achieve, since the eye area skin is so delicate. This usually means that a separate formula or system is needed to specifically address the problems that occur in the eye. Although we were hesitant, especially considering Life Cell’s claims, we still proceeded with our review of the product.

Featured Ingredients
One of the difficulties in reviewing Life Cell is that the company’s web site spends most of its initial time and effort (pages and pages of information, in fact) on dispelling so-called myths about skin aging and arguing why most cosmetic formulas are wrong. While we do not dispute that many products contain less-than ideal ingredients, we were a bit skeptical that the Life Cell web site did not contain up-front information about the product, until you searched through pages of criticism first.

When we finally did come upon the ingredients for the formula, we were less than impressed. The company speaks a lot about Nitric Oxide and the achievements of the scientific team that discovered this remarkable molecule and its various effects on aging. However, then Life Cell goes on to tout the ingredients of its formula, including Diothiolane-3-Pentanic Acid, without showing scientific proof that it contains or stimulates Nitric Oxide in the skin. What scientific evidence is given for D3PA fails to mention that the research was conducted on injections of the ingredient. Life Cell also contains Idebenone, a chemical antioxidant that is supposed to have many anti-aging effects. While antioxidants do protect the skin, Idebenone is an old chemical that is not used very often any more. 

More importantly, despite its claims, Life Cell does not seem to contain any compounds that will specifically help the eye area. No Actiflow. No Lipolight or similar ingredients.

Web Site Description
As mentioned earlier, the web site for Life Cell seems to be one of the longest we have ever come across. We’d like to believe that amount of content equals scientific proof, but unfortunately the Life Cell web site spends most of its time criticized other products as opposed to supporting why its product is so good. In addition, much of the information seems overhyped and a lot of the scientific research that is posted seems to be associated together rather loosely. The site does contain some compelling video testimonials, so the product may in fact have some merit. But we were disappointed that the web site was not clearer on this fact.

Positives
- Testimonials suggest that this product will positively affect the skin

 Negatives
- No support for its effect on dark circles, puffiness and other factors in eye aging

- Web site is too long for most consumers

- Spends too much time criticizing other products

- Some of the scientific research seems to be used rather loosely

Conclusion
While we do not doubt that Life Cell has in fact helped some consumers look younger, we cannot recommend this formula, since we are not convinced that it will perform specific benefits for the eye area. Until more information becomes available, we recommend avoiding this product.
