Overview
Neostrata is an international cosmetic company that is known as one of the foremost promoters of products containing Alpha-Hydroxy Acids, which are known for their skin resurfacing abilities, at a fraction of the price of spa treatments. Neostrata has three main brands - Exuviance, Cover Blend and NeoCeuticals - all of which take a slightly different spin on skin rejuvenation. The company also offers treatments for skin conditions such as acne and rosacea, but we were primarily concerned with their eye treatment formulas. Neostrata currently offers two separate formulas for the eyes - Brightening Bionic Eye Cream and Hydrating Lift Eye Complex.

Featured Ingredients
Brightening Bionic Eye Cream is formulated to make the skin around the eye are look younger and more youthful by brightening. The formula contains Pro-Vitamin A, Vitamin K and Cucumber Extract to help reduce dark circles and combines these compounds with polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. While we are aware that Vitamin K and Cucumber can enhance circulation to the eye area and thus improve skin brightness (as well as having a mild effect on puffiness), we are not familiar with any research on Pro-Vitamin A and its brightening effects. Unfortunately, Neostrata does not provide any science to support use of this ingredient.

Hydrating Lift Eye Complex is meant to both hydrate and soothe the skin near the eye area in the hopes that skin will become brighter, diminish puffiness and reduce fine lines. This formula contains many of the same ingredients as the Brightening Bionic Eye Cream (PHA and Provitamin A) but also adds Pro-Vitamins C and E for additional antioxidant protection. Unfortunately, we see nothing truly different than the other formula, therefore the researchers at EyeWrinkleReviews.com have to wonder whether this product will truly add more moisture to the skin nor provide any sort of lift as expected. 

Web Site Description
Neostrata’s web site is quite massive in comparison to other companies within this industry. Mainly this is due to the fact that the company markets three separate brands of skin formulas, all of which are listed and described on this one central web site. Thus, it may take some time for the typical visitor to find the information needed. Especially those who are looking for the Neostrata eye treatments, it may take several minutes to find such products. While the descriptions are clear and straight-forward, we did not find the additional research material needed to substantiate the company’s claims that the ingredients in these two formulas could in fact brighten the skin or produce any of specific eye-area rejuvenation. The company does have plenty of customer testimonials and products can be purchased directly from the web site, but no free trial is available.

Positives
- Large company that offers dozens of skin-care products- Plenty of customer testimonials

 Negatives
- No research posted supporting these two treatments and their specific effects on the eye

- Neostrata does not offer a free trial of its products

- Both products seem nearly identical, leading to potential confusion over which to choose

- While AHAs can exfoliate skin, they also lead to dryness and irritation in many cases

Conclusion
Even though Neostrata must have a certain degree of success, judging from the sheer number of products that it offers, we simply cannot recommend formulas that contain AHAs, especially since the company does not share any research showing how its formulas will specifically battle aging in the eye area.
