DDF Overview
DDF Bio-Molecular Firming Eye Serum is an eye formula that reduces dark circles, fine lines and puffiness around the eye area, as well as toning, firming and moisturizing the skin. Its active ingredient is a combination of proteins and peptides and the cream also contains some botanical extracts.
The small sub-page for the product on the company’s website lists the ingredients in their entirety, but the page itself is very basic and is clearly not used as a selling point, but rather uses a catalogue-style layout with minimal info,. As such, there are no product testimonials, and no information stating when results are to be expected, and by how much fine lines, circles etc are reduced.
The serum is manufactured by DDF (Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula), a dermatologist-founded company with 17 years of experience. The company was previously based in New York but was bought by Procter & Gamble in 2007, though all queries can be sent direct to the company, which has separate email, telephone and mail contact centers and FAQ sections for product use or order enquiries. The site also offers a mailing list.
DDF - Product Description
The cream is a 3-in-1 product: moisturizing, firms and tones the skin, and reduces the appearance of dark circles, eye puffiness and fine lines. A complete list of ingredients is provided, including caffeine, (known to soothe eye puffiness); carrot seed oil (used to balance skin complexion), Echinacea (a natural antiseptic); wheat germ (moisturizer) and witch hazel. Aside from mentioning the active ingredient as a combination of proteins and peptides, no other information is offered regarding how they actually work. There is no information on clinical trials, but the fact that the full list of ingredients is mentioned on the site is useful for allergy sufferers or those wishing to avoid particular ingredients.
The price is $82 for a 0.5oz jar, which is a relatively high price to pay when there is neither a guarantee nor free trial offered. The FAQ section covers questions relating to shipping and returns, and the site also boasts an order tracker. The return policy does cover “non-performance of products”, which suggests that if results are not noticeable, a refund will be issued, but no time frame is given for either the effectiveness of the serum or the return policy.

DDF - The Bottom line
If the site did not provide the entire list of ingredients, there would be very little to recommend about DDF’s Bio-Molecular Firming Eye Serum. Given that this is a product with the terms “Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula” and “Bio-Molecular” in its name, the complete absence of hard, scientific facts to bolster its selling point is disappointing, and to its own detriment ultimately makes this relatively unknown serum look like just an average moisturizer, albeit a very high-priced one.
