Cosmedix Opti Crystal is an anti-aging eye cream that claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It promises to firm thin and sagging skin. It contains alpha lipoic acid, growth factors and liquid crystals to help correct and prevent the signs of aging.

I have never heard of liquid crystals being used as an anti-aging ingredient before. Let’s find out how and if these liquid crystals really work and if Cosmedix Opti Crystal if worth your money.

Cosmedix Opti Crystal Active Ingredient Profile

Cosmedix Opti Crystal contains 98% liquid crystals. However, there is no proven research that liquid crystals prevent fine lines, wrinkles or provide any anti-aging ingredients. If fact, I have never heard of liquid crystals in skin care products and Cosmedix Opti Crystal gives no explanation as to how they are beneficial to the skin.

I have heard of the following active ingredients and they are all proven to reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles.

Spin Trap is a powerful anti-oxidant that prevents the breakdown of collagen and elastin. It helps protect the skin from free radicals by converting them to oxygen.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is an anti-oxidant known for its ability to hydrate and heal. It is also known to promote the production of collagen.
Coconut Extract is believed to contain growth hormones that stimulate new cell growth. It is also used for its nourishing and hydrating properties.
Copper Complex is a natural healing agent that helps to stimulate the body’s own repair functions.

*Cosmedix Opti Crystal is formulated without parabens, mineral oil or chemical dyes.

Cosmedix Opti Crystal offers a 14 day money back guarantee. 14 days? There is really no point in offering a 14 day money back guarantee because that is not nearly enough time to really see if a product works for your skin.

How Much Does Cosmedix Opti Crystal Cost?

Cosmedix Opti Crystal costs $90. That is extremely expensive for an eye cream. It contains to technology or ingredients that warrant such a hefty price. My guess is that you are paying for the liquid crystals even though they aren’t proven to actually do anything for your skin.

Should You Buy Cosmedix Opti Crystal?

Cosmedix Opti Crystal has relatively positive customer reviews and does contain proven anti-aging ingredients. I also like that it is paraben free.

However, I wouldn’t pay $90 for Cosmedix Opti Crystal. There are plenty of eye creams on the market that are less expensive and have better anti-aging ingredients. In all honesty, you are paying for the “crystals” in this product and I can’t find any evidence that they do anything for your skin. Liquid crystals are generally used to give the skin a glowing or luminous appearance but they provide no anti-aging benefits.

I was also disappointed that Cosmedix Opti Crystal only offers a 14 day money back guarantee. That doesn’t give you much of a chance to try the product.
