I have never used it...... however, I did have a rather wrinkled old lady

come into my booth at a craft show last fall and tell me that she used Prep H

for bags under her eyes. She thought she looked great for 68, because her

mother was much more wrinkled than she, at the same age. To my observation,

it wasn't helping much. She looked *way* older than my own mom, who was also

68.

A friend of mine read an article in some free magazine given to her at a

health food store, written by a doctor. That's what he recommended in the

article ! I found it interesting, but I'm not feeling old enough to try it

for myself. =o)

Of course! Back in high school, I'd learned that models do that. I had the

puffiest eyes, so tried it a few times. It is formulated to constrict

swollen tissues, and it does do that.

Here is a little snippet about someone who did try it. I think we

all have so many different results but this one was a chuckle:

BTW, there are some spectacular hydrosols for eye puffiness!

Kindest regards,

Due to the squalene content, perhaps? And do you happen to know what

they've subbed for it?

Haven't ever used it myself, but have known party- hearty types who

swore by it.

Also, my daughter was a competitive gymnast (*very* competitive, lol---

she was headed for the Olympics but couldn't compete in Nationals as she

broke a bone in her foot just prior to the event) and she and all her

teammates used Prep-H on the " rips " on their hands from the parallel

bars. Believe me, those kids and their coaches were deathly serious

about competition, so if they were using it, there must have been

something effective about it. FWIW from my unscientific observation, it

really seemed to cut inflammation and speed healing.

HA HA Olga! My daughters were gymnasts too! I forgot about all the

young girls buying Prep-H to keep in their gym bags! LoL!
