Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue is a luxury eye cream sold at department stores and prominent online retailers like Sephora.
It claims to “visibly brighten eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines” as well as minimize wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness, and fatigue. Costing $100 for just .5 ounces, we would expect to see nothing less.
We need to look at the ingredients and the consumer reviews before we would recommend Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue. This is the kind of eye cream that people assume is high quality because of the high price, but that is not necessarily the case.
Ingredients
The ingredients found in Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue are disappointing, to say the least. In an effective eye cream, it is critical to have an ingredient (or several) that will stimulate collagen production and brighten the skin. Two ingredient that we look for are peptides and glycolic acid.
Instead of those ingredients, we see several unproven ingredients that make big claims but are not supported by clinical research.
Additionally, there are also some that are potentially harmful. Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, and Propylparaben are all parabens found in this eye cream. Parabens are unsafe ingredients that have been linked to skin irritation and even potentially fatal conditions.
Conclusion
When deciding whether or not to recommend a wrinkle cream, we take a few factors into consideration. Basically, we look and see if that wrinkle cream is effective, affordable, and safe. In the case of Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue, it is very easy to determine that this is not a wrinkle cream that we would recommend.
Not only is it outrageously expensive, the primary ingredients are ineffective plant extracts, perhaps useful for temporarily moisturizing the skin, but not at all capable of the results that Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue promises.
Most importantly, we do not consider Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue to be safe. It contains several parabens, which are irritants at best, and could be extremely harmful.
