Bremenn Research Labs Upper Eyelid Lifter
Posted on | March 8, 2010 | 19 Comments
Hello beauties!
Unlike some of you, I am of an age where certain body parts aren’t where they used to be, and my upper eyelids are one of those parts. I don’t really remember it being an insidious slow type of thing. It seems that I woke up one morning, and my eyelids were flying at half mast. While some people manage to pull of the hooded eye look splendidly, I am not one of them.
I’ve considered surgery, and if my bank account were willing, I’d have it done in a heartbeat. I looked into seeing if my insurance would cover blepharoplasty, and it would, if my eyes were more droopy than they are right now. So I’m stuck in the peculiar situation of hoping that they get worse so that I can get them fixed. In the meantime, I walk around looking like a basset hound.
Then not long ago, I got a mailer from Sephora. One of the featured new releases was Bremenn Research Labs Upper Eyelid Lifter, and it immediately caught my attention. According to the product description, this was just what I’d been looking for.
This specialized formula was created specifically to address deflated, drooping lids for a more wide-awake look. Ordinary eye creams designed to counter under-eye puffiness don’t fit the bill when it comes to supporting sagging eyelids—choose this targeted solution for a serious boost, exactly where you need it.
So I pulled out my trusty credit card, forked over the $59, and waited anxiously for it to get here.
It arrived lightening-quick, and when I was opening the box, I got that little excited, butterflies-in-the-tummy feel that you may be familiar with if you love online shopping as much as I do. 
With the caveat that I am not a chemist, let’s start out by taking a quick look at the Sephora glossary, and at other resources from the Web to look up the ingredients, and see what they are supposed to do.
Water
Isododecane – Enhances spreadability, and has a weightless feel on skin. It’s a hydrocarbon and prevents water from evaporating on the skin.
Cyclopenatasiloxane – A silicone solvent emollient (something that softens). It enhances spreadability, and can act as a temporary plumper for lines and wrinkles.
Yeast Extract (Faex) – A source of B vitamins, purported to stimulate and activate cell metabolism
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter – Conditions and moisturizes as well as adds viscosity to product
Cetyl Alcohol – A solid fatty alcohol used as an emollient and emulsion stabilizer that gives skin a velvety feel
Silica – The spherical type of it improves spreadability and product smoothness.
Cetearyl Methicone – Skin conditioning agent that forms a barrier to slow loss of water
Glycerin – Humectant that attracts water to the skin
Dimethicone – A silicone polymer, it forms a protective barrier on the skin
PEG 100 Stearate – Can be used as an emollient, an emulsifier and a moisturizer
Glyceryl Stearate – Emulsifier that softens and soothes
Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter – Slows the loss of water from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface
Tridecyl Salicylate – Beta Hydroxy Acid with multiple uses in cosmetics and skin care products
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 – Increases elasticity, firmness, and tone
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide – Aid in skin repair and renewal; work as bonds between amino acids
Phenylethyl Resorcinol – Antioxidant that brightens and lightens pigmentation
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Extract – Acts as a lubricant to give soft and smooth appearance
Secale Cereale (Rye) Seed Extract – An emollient
Calcium Hydroxymethionine – I can’t really find out much about this. I believe the gist of it would be that it promotes cell turnover, and it works as a protective barrier. However, keep the above caveat about me not being a chemist in mind.
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein – Provides a smoothing effect for wrinkles. Also increases the skin’s ability to retain moisture
Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil -An emollient with antioxidant properties
3-Aminopropane sulfonic Acid – A surfactant
Carbomer – Used to control consistency and flow
Xanthan Gum – Various uses…improved texture, improves shelf life, aids in stabilization, skin hydrating, used to prepare water based gels
Butylene Glycol – Used as a solvent and as a viscosity decreasing agent
Pentylene Glycol – Humectant with moisture-binding and antimicrobial properties
Phenoxyethanol – Bactericide
Polysorbate 60 – Emulsifying agent
Ethylhexylglycerin – Vegetable based preservative used as an alternative to parabens
Polysorbate 20 – Various uses…emulsifier, fragrance ingredient, surfactant
Hydroxyethyl cellulose – Thickening agent
Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil – Slows moisture loss
Triethanolamine – pH balancer
That’s a lot of ingredients, and some of them very good for moisturizing. But is the combination of them enough to act like a jack and prop up my drooping eye lids? I’ve not used it long enough to be able to give you a fair assessment, but I will be reporting back on the results.
Until then, remember to Celebrate Beautiful You!

Hi i was really interested in how the eye cream has worked. I also would like surgery but don’t have the extra funds… This sounds to good to be true. Im only 36 and have real bad droopy eyes, i havent check insurance yet to see if they think they are bad enough. Please reply with your honesty about the product.
Thanks

Found this site on page 3. Sephora’s reviews might help to answer some questions you have here.
April 5th, 2010 @ 09:00
Thanks Vivian! It seems like the reviews are really a mixed bag. I appreciate you sharing that.

Your post was great – like most women, I always hope the new product will be the “the one that REALLY works”. Since this product is not very expensive, I will shell out the $$ and HOPE!

I just got a sample of this product from Sephora. I’m only on the fourth day, but it doesn’t appear to be doing any good. My eyelids are so saggy that you can’t even see my eye shadow after I put it on. I probably could have afforded a face lift, if I hadn’t wasted so much money on Sanita’s peptide, The “cube”, Strevectin I could go on
November 9th, 2010 @ 10:15
i purchased the Bremenn upper eyelid lifter and there was so little in the container that I could not determine if it works or not. It was way to much money for the small amount received.
January 14th, 2011 @ 20:24
I have used this product for nearly a year, spending lots. Frankly I have not noticed any improvement. I asked my Opthalmogist about the product just recently and she felt the only change was in my bank account. So after I have used up the supply I have, I’ll forget it. I can’t afford surgery.
March 9th, 2011 @ 21:15
I used two consecutive samples of Bremenn Upper Lid Eye Lifter and noticed very minimal improvement, however it is not compatible with make up/shadow because it curls!
October 17th, 2011 @ 10:24
I have used this product for 6 months and noticed not too much of a difference. Another gimmick.
