EYELIFT BY DR. DIAMOND’S METACINE
The comprehensive, clinically proven eye treatment designed to be used on the upper lid.

DISCOVERED
The skin around the eye is exceptionally difficult to treat. This periorbital area sports the thinnest skin on the body, which shows damage and age in myriad ways: drooping, puffiness, dark circles, crepiness, hollowness, and laxity, to name a few. We’ve come across many decent eye products over the years—great options for addressing one or two of these symptoms. But, finding a formula that makes a visible difference for this laundry list of concerns—and is designed to be used on the upper lid—has proven to be a very, very tall order. Then, Dr. Diamond’s Metacine gave our editors an advanced look at their new EyeLift Bioremodeling Peptide Multiplex.
Think of the periorbital area as a scaffold under the skin, a tight web that holds everything in place. As we get older, this web grows weaker; holes widen, the structure loses its support, and those visible aging characteristics start to show up. EyeLift works by reinforcing this scaffolding with a bioremodeling peptide multiplex that supports the synthesis of twenty types of collagen, and helps inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)—our bodies’ own enzymes that accelerate visible skin aging.
The lightweight, gel-like formula also features a novel retinoid hyaluronic acid complex to stimulate skin renewal and regeneration—and yes, it is ophthalmology-tested and safe to use on the upper eyelids. We were intrigued by the technology and the immediate brightening and de-puffing effect produced by the metal rollerball applicator, so when Dr. Diamond informed us that preliminary clinical testing showed that 96% of participants had improvement in upper eye lid crepiness and eye contours and 100% had improved under eye dark circles and firmness after four weeks, it was clear the time had come for weigh-in from the Committee of Industry Experts.
TESTED
“This works magic on the eye area, which is one of the first areas of our face to display signs of aging. It's formulated with powerful ingredients for a visibly firmer, lifted, more contoured and youthful-looking eye area. I love that this product is backed by clinical testing, and—unlike many other eye creams out there—it can be used on both the upper and lower lids.”
—DR. DENDY ENGELMAN, Dermatologist
“I love that the HA-retinoid complex in this causes no irritation, which is difficult to achieve. Retinoids are the best and most proven way to improve skin quality in aging.”
—DR DANIEL BELKIN, Dermatologist
“Most eye creams that promise firmness are really just giving you a temporary plump. This one is different. I felt an immediate tightening through the eye area that layered beautifully with my sculpting eye routine; no film, no residue, just skin that feels more awake and supported. That’s not easy to do.”
—JOSEPH CARRILLO, Makeup Artist & Facialist
