Overview
Peter Thomas Roth is a company founded by its owner of the same name. Mr. Roth comes from a long line of professionals with an interest in promoting skin beauty and health. His family owned and operated two of the most prominent European Health Spas in Hungary throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. Based on his family’s dedication to the skin, Mr. Roth developed a line of skincare products intended to capture the same approach. Many of the 100 or so products in the Peter Thomas Roth line contain a high concentration of the minerals discovered within the healing waters of those renowned health spas. Mr. Roth has taken that quest a few steps further, to the point where he now offers a wide array of anti-aging products. Not surprisingly, the company offers its own eye treatment formulas. For our purposes, we will review the Power K Eye Rescue, since it offers a dual effect of reducing dark circles and wrinkles, which most consumers will be interested in.
Featured Ingredients
Power K Eye Rescue contains a solid blend of known anti-aging ingredients. For example, the formula includes Vitamin K, which is known as a beneficial nutrient for the delicate skin near the eye. Vitamin K does seem to have a positive effect on reducing dark circles and improving blood circulation in the eye area. The formula also contains CoQ10 encapsulated in caviar. While we are not aware of any research illustrating the superiority of providing CoQ10 (an important antioxidant enzyme) along with Caviar, we are aware of some limited information that speaks about the benefits of the oils and proteins contained with Caviar. They seem to help fill in lines and wrinkles on a limited basis. The formula also contains bioflavonoids and vitamin C for added antioxidant protection.
While we do not doubt that many of these ingredients will indeed have a positive effect on dark circles and overall eye condition, the impression that we get is that Power K Eye Rescue may be more of a preventative formula rather than a “rescuing one.” Since Peter Thomas Roth does not provide any scientific information showing how these ingredients will specifically brighten dark circles or reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, we are left to using research on these ingredients that we have compiled on our own, which is limited at best and not as definitive as the company may want you to believe. In addition, we were surprised that the company did not include any at-home test results on the formula to illustrate its effects on dark circles or wrinkles.
Web Site Description
The Peter Thomas Roth web site is fairly straight forward. It does not overwhelm you with a lot of unnecessary information, but it does seem to lack some types of important details, such as scientific research. We would like to put our faith in a man like Mr. Roth who comes from a long family history of beauty and health, but a little more data or statistics would have been helpful. It is helpful that the web site does contain a full listing of all ingredients in the company’s formulas, but we were honestly surprised that no customer testimonials were posted. And considering the fact that Power K Eye Rescue is quite expensive ($100 each container), it would be helpful for many consumers if a free trial option was available.
Positives
- Peter Thomas Roth has a solid family history in the beauty field- The company offers more than 100 products for a variety of skin issues
Negatives
- No statistics available on product home-use tests - no testimonials posted
- We had a lot of questions about specific ingredients but no studies were provided
- Product is quite expensive ($100 a container) but no free trial option is available
Conclusion
Considering Mr. Roth’s family’s reputation in the skin beauty field, we feel fairly confident that Power K will provide at least modest improvements for dark circles and wrinkles. But at $100 each supply, most consumers will be looking for more-than-moderate improvement. However, without the kind of research that is needed to verify these effects - and without enough data on the product itself - we cannot fully confirm whether Power K Eye Rescue is worth the money.
