The Obagi Elastiderm Day Eye Gel is designed to reduce the first signs of aging, the ones which penetrate the thin, sensitive skin around your eyes. By providing the skin the hydration, collagen and elastin that your eyes need, Obagi claims your skin will look perfectly refreshed and refined.
During our testing of the product we place small dots of the gel around the eye area and smoothed it in until thoroughly absorbed, just as directed. It did leave us with a refreshing feeling and it certainly moisturized our skin, but the wrinkle reduction we encountered was less than impressive. This is a unique feeling blend of ingredients, but overall it just did not do that much to reduce the actual signs of aging.
Our Impression
Our impression of the product, was that it was overpriced and a rather strange gel. The application of the gel was rather sticky and tacky. The product did not absorb rapidly and kind of coated our skin with a sticky after effect. At first we thought that this cover would protect the skin while it healed, but then we saw the results…limited at best. It just became a messy part of our morning, in fact, over 50% of our testers reported wanting to stop application prior to the six week mark.
Recommendation
If you enjoy rubbing paste all over your face for limited to no results, then this is the product for you. We had heard quite a bit of good reports about this product prior to testing and were quite excited about the use, but that is where we were left….wanting. It just never delivered what we hoped for. Yes, we experienced the hydration and moisturizing qualities of this product, but priced at $85.50 for each 0.5 oz. we cannot recommend it to you as a moisturizer or an eye cream. This is just one of those cases where a unique feeling gel gains interest, but does not deliver.

I could not even use this on a daily basis. i had a terrible reaction to it and it was so sticky i dont know how anyone could enjoy using this.
Not worth it. I used the full bottles of both day and night Elastiderm eye creams over a 3 month period. In conjunction with the Obagi Nu-Derm skin regimen. The eye creams do not live up to their advertised expectations.
My wife swears by this stuff, but when I use it is all over my fingers all day. too sticky and I dont see results but Im a guy, what do I know?
It was not the stickeyness that bothered me it is the smell. it smells really gross, my boyfriend even said it one time… like what is the aweful smell. be careful
This stuffy is sticky and nasty to use. I have to admit my puffiness is gone down, but I hated using this stuff.
I liked the results of this stuff, but it is gross. It smelled bad and was very sticky. I guess if you dont mind that it is good. LOL. but you’ll think its gross for sure.
I did not mind the stickiness at all, I thought it made the product nice to wear. The stuff worked too, what do I care how it feels if I can look better.
