TRIUMPH & DISASTERDichotomy Eye Serum | Anti-Aging, Targeting Dark Circles, Crows Feet & Puffiness for Men - 0.5 fl oz

I'm a 45 year old Male, and I get a lot of sun. Adding this eye serum on top of my other skin care has been the cherry on top. I seriously keep getting comments even from strangers finding it strange that I obviously look sunned but have a very smooth face. Friends have said my eyes look way more blue for some reason...it's because I don't have the intense crow lines I used to have. Compared to other products, this has been the most effective by far!

I think i have gone too far into the wrinkly camp, because this isn’t doing anything for my crow’s feet, and wrinkles.It’s my own fault - i partied hard, and i smoked too, during my 20’s and 30’s and i did not make any effort at skincare. I didn’t even taking my make up off before rolling into bed.During my 40’s i settled down, got married, became a good girl, and made paltry, half-hearted efforts at skincare, occasionally dabbing some moisturizer on here and there, when i remembered, but i certainly didn’t have what anyone would call “a good skincare routine”In my 50’s, faced with the effects of my hard living, I’m panicking at the ravages caused by time, drinking, smoking, tanning, and all that jazz.Not much can fix this face i swear - maybe a facelift.But i try, I keep trying, hoping one day, a miracle will happen with one of these products.Anyway, to the interestingly named Triumph and Disaster Dichotomy Eye Serum which said it was for men, and though I’m not one, the packaging, and name called to me.It s a small, brown glass, pump bottle, dispensing actually more than enough of this thickish serum. I’m use to serums being more thin and watery. This is a little thicker. One pump seems excessive, and i can spread that not only around my eyes, but also the deep set wrinkles around my upper lip - i feel like they need additional help.Whilst it does an admirable job of moisturizing these craggy areas, it’s really not affecting the depth of the wrinkles, though the puffiness seems less. The skin does feel good though. I like the texture and smell of the serum. I like that it comes in a brown glass bottle to reduce the effects of light which could affect the active ingredients. Maybe a longer time with the product is called for, to see effects on my wrinkles, but possibly, it’s too little too late.

For $69, at the time of this review, you’d expect a full bottle of serum, but nope.. not here! I got a bottle that was 1/2 full.. WHY? I don’t feel like the cost justifies the product, in full.I DO think the serum is a very good one, I cannot lie about that, but the value just isn’t there for us. I’ve tried equally good products at 1/2 the cost. That being said, it does rejuvenate the under eye area, and refreshes tired, worn out eyes. Why just for men though 🤷‍♀️? Are we really that different, as far as skin goes? That I don’t get.Me and my hubby do like the serum, but it’s just very expensive to get such little product. It’s between 2.5 & 2.75 stars from us. Had it been a full jar and/or a lower price, this would obviously be a higher-rated review. That’s the best I can give, under the circumstances. I DO like the brand though. It’s a quality company, but this one product just fell a bit short.⭐️⭐️ + 1/2-3/4**I hope my review has been helpful 😊!**

The Triumph & Disaster Dichotomy Eye Serum came well packaged in a box and pump dispenser. It's a rich lightly scented luxurious cream. It pampers my eye area with its soothing moisture. It soaks in and leaves my skin looking fresh and hydrated. It also helps diminish fine lines. It's hard to tell if it fades dark circles. Maybe after extensive use I will see a difference. For now, I'm enjoying this effective non-irritating serum and apply it every morning to help me look my best.Made in New Zealand~ Kort

...buttah....I was trying to come up with what the texture of this reminds me of and it finally came to me.On a warm day, if you leave a stick of butter out, it sort of softens and gets melty (yes it *is* a word...).Don't get the wrong idea though; it's not greasy like butter, but it is rich and slippery.This has a nice creamy texture, though not a cream, but, as described a serum.As shown on the product page, this comes in a pump bottle (glass).For me, only about 1/2 of a pump is quite enough.I've been using a high end eye cream from a famous Japanese brand since my mid '20's (and that's a long time).As a Vine reviewer and a product junkie, I get to try and review many products.So far, only one eye product has been compelling enough for me to consider my Japanese brand to have an equal.In a very short time, that product gave an appearance of plumping and less wrinkles; I was pretty surprised.While this is a nice, luxurious feeling product, made with what sound like great ingredients, the brand of apparent quality and reputation, for me, it is not compelling enough to switch from my old faithful.A half ounce of that brand is $54.00; a half ounce of this $69.00.That brand is a cream; this, a serum.Old habits die hard I guess.What I will say is, if you want to scare away the appearance of years, use a good product (like this) and the sooner, and more consistent, the better.I hope this review has enabled you to make an informed purchase decision.I rarely give an overall 5 star rating.
