Great Stuff!
I`ve already written a review on a different page for this stuff, but I feel compelled to come out in defense of this product on this page. A couple of things first: yes, this stuff is expensive and yes, the jar is small. However, this stuff really really works wonders. It is a short term miracle. I first tried it by buying a sample from their website because I was scared to drop 90 bucks, but I was sold with my first application. I rushed over to my mom`s house and she experienced great results, too. I am 31 and I have lots of fine lines around my eyes and good size forehead creases. A couple of small dabs of Athena (a little goes a VERY long way) and my fine lines had all but disappeared and my forehead looked much smoother. My boyfriend even noticed, and that says a lot. My mom looked years younger, too, after using it. A friend of hers also tried it and didn`t get the best results but she has very, very dry and weatherbeaten skin and I think for this stuff to work to its full potential your skin needs to be well hydrated.
This product does take a little bit of practice to apply (comes with great instructions) and it does feel weird. Once you apply it your skin starts to feel tight and tingly, but it isn`t uncomfortable just weird and the sensation seems to fade after a few applications.
It IS pricey and the samples don`t seem to be available anymore, which is why I took off one star (my previous review was a fiver). However, this product works really well and goes a long way and for me, it is worth the price tag. I believe that everyone should give this stuff a try, you`ll like what you see in the mirror!

Tiny Jar O` Youth
I just bought the stuff a week ago and day one it worked. I have stubborn genetic wrinkles ( born with them) under my eyes. Even my 2 year old daughter has them. I haven`t found a thing that worked. I was extreeeemly skeptical, but amazed when I saw the lines disappear--if anyone wants to see my before and afters, I can show you.
It does feel weird and makes the skin tight, and on black skin (I am a woman of color) it dies to a white paste. I find that if I mix Athena with my foundation, (and don`t over apply) it doesn`t do that. It will last about 7-10 hours depending on oiliness, but doesn`t go to it`s pre-Athena state until you wipe it off.
I am also noticing that the lines that have bothered me my whole life are starting to be less noticeable. Athena promises that in time, you will see long term results--I am starting to believe that too.
Is it expensive? Yes--however, I looked into getting Juvederm for my eyes and it was 500 dollars a syringe. For about 90 bucks I get stuff that last roughly 60 days and actually starts to improve my eyes. Can`t beat it.

Athena
This product was shown to me by a friend whose complexion I was admiring. She gushed about it. I think it`s great stuff. Not only do I look younger, but my complexion has improved too! I don`t want to be without it now. I was considering botox, but I don`t think I need it now. Please do remember, a little goes a long way. If you use too much and there is a bit of white residue, just rinse your brush off and go over it again with water. Used properly, it seems like a miracle!
