Eye Cream of the Month: SkinCeuticals Eye Cream

Eye Cream by SkinCeuticals may not have a fancy name or packaging, but this under eye cream promises to pack a punch when it comes to treating eye area concerns. Billed as your eye area’s first defense against environmental aging, SkinCeuticals’ Eye Cream aims to restore the skin’s natural ability to protect and repair itself, resulting in improved health and function.

Eye Cream contains old favorites, like peptides, ceramides, sodium hyaluronate, and centella asiatica, as well as lesser-known ingredients, including hesperidin methyl chalcone and ectoin. These ingredients are chosen to work together to provide a synergistic approach to restoring and maintaining a healthy, youthful eye area. The eye wrinkle cream advertises many benefits, including the ability to:

  • Reduce puffiness
  • Lighten dark circles
  • Diminish sagging skin
  • Boost collagen production
  • Improve skin healing
  • Restore and protect hydration

Marketed toward those with skin damaged by UV rays, chemicals, and environmental pollutants, Eye Cream by SkinCeuticals seems like it could be the answer to photo-damaged and environmentally assaulted eye areas. But, the question is always the same; does it work?

According to reviews on DermStore.com, the eye cream product delivers on its promises! Customers state that this anti wrinkle eye cream truly reduced the appearance of wrinkles, diminished puffiness, and supplied long-lasting hydration. In addition, DermStore customers raved about the product’s wonderfully creamy, non-greasy texture and quick absorbency, one even going so far as to say that Eye Cream by SkinCeuticals is the “best eye cream” on the market!

With honest reviews like these, Skinceuticals’ Eye Cream may be the most promising skin care eye cream we have reviewed thus far. At $68.00, Eye Cream is of slightly above average price. However, when you consider the results promised and the exceptional customer reviews, slightly above average price doesn’t seem like such a bad thing! After all, true results, especially when it comes to eye anti aging cream, are priceless.

Best Eye Cream Storage Tips

Keep it Cool

The delicate skin around the eye is more susceptible to damage than almost any other area of skin on the body. Drastic climate or temperature changes can do a number on the eye area, leaving it irritated, uncomfortable, and looking ragged. This leads some people to believe that storing under eye cream in the refrigerator will do more harm than good.

The opposite is true, however. Storing your anti wrinkle eye cream in the refrigerator is one of the best ways to de-puff swollen eyes. Plus, the cool cream can be ultra soothing during summer’s heat waves. For really puffy eyes, make sure to choose an eye cream product formulated with anti-puff ingredients, such as cucumber, witch hazel, or caffeine.

If your entire face suffers from morning puff (possibly induced by late summer nights), try storing your toner and regular skin care face cream in the fridge, too. The cold causes the same effect that an ice pack has on swelling. After application, your face will be de-puffed and ready for makeup application. For refreshing the skin throughout the day or after work, keep a hydrating spritz handy in the refrigerator door.

Short on fridge space? Keep your travel-size skin care eye cream and other skin care products in the fridge instead of your regular-size products. That way, you have the option of using cool or room temperature products, and you won’t use up so much room on your skin care items. If you don’t own travel-size products, you can purchase empty travel-size tubs or bottles at any store selling travel-size toiletries. Using a skin care spatula to avoid contaminating the formulation, scoop some of the product into the empty container. Voila! Instant miniature beauty care products.

Tips like these may seem simple, but they make a world of difference. So go ahead, pop your best under eye cream in the fridge without worrying. You’ll be thankful it’s there after your Labor Day celebration!

Eye Cream Reviews: Kerstin Florian Rehydrating Liposome Eye Creme

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

This month’s eye cream review is dedicated to all those suffering from dehydrated skin around the eyes! Rehydrating Liposome Eye Creme by Kerstin Florian is created to infuse the eye area with rich hydration while nourishing with botanical extracts.

Kerstin Florian is a European-inspired beauty company that formulates and manufactures bath, body and skin care products. Dedicated to creating formulations which improve health in addition to beauty, Kerstin Florian uses naturally nourishing skin care ingredients such as algae, herbal extracts, mud, mineral water, and essential oils. The company’s Rehydrating Liposome Eye Creme is no exception to this business practice!

Loaded with liposomes and botanical extracts, Rehydrating Liposome Eye Creme protects the delicate skin of the eye area while replenishing lost nutrients and moisture. Perfect for dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin, it offers comfort and hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. It also supplies exceptional antioxidant protection against free radicals, which are one of the main causes of visible signs of aging.

Reviews of the Kerstin Florian brand are nothing short of rave, and with the eye cream’s sensational ingredient list, it’s sure to be as effective as it promises. One reviewer of the eye cream even stated that it made an improvement in her dark under eye circles! Rehydrating Liposome Eye Creme is meant to be used as a day cream, though we won’t tell if you love it enough to use at night, too.

Downsides to Rehydrating Liposome Eye Creme are few, though not nonexistent. At $57.00 for half an ounce, the product’s price point could certainly be more appealing. However, an under eye cream is worth it’s weight in gold if it addresses the user’s concerns while maintaining a luxurious quality, two benefits Rehydrating Liposome Eye Creme promises to provide. The only way to know is to try it for yourself, and with summer coming to a close and winter only a couple months away, it seems as if the opportunity is getting ready to present itself.
