When it
comes to looking after your skin it’s important to know that the skin around
your eyes requires special treatment.
The eye
contour area is 3-5 times finer than the rest of the face, meaning that it is
usually the first to
show visible
signs of ageing. This is certainly the
case with me as I’ve had crows feet lines around my eyes since my mid twenties!
I’m forever keeping
my eyes out (‘scuse the pun) for the
next great product to help my eye area look youthful and came across Clarins
Multi-Active Eye.
Housed
within this very pretty pink tube is a new eye care product inspired by the
latest technological advances in plant power, that is meant to help counteract
the effects of a stressful lifestyle.
This
serum-esq product is designed to preserve radiant, youthful-looking eyes,
smooth fine lines, minimise signs of fatigue and brighten the eye area.
It contains
several key ingredients;
Teasel extract helps to revitalise and protect
tired, stressed skin by encouraging the production of the energising molecule
Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) that helps fight free radicals. The fatigue
fighting properties of Teasel extract also helps to fight dark circles and
puffiness.
Myrothamnus extract (a
South African plant capable of surviving hydric stress) reinforces the
preventative anti-ageing effect of encapsulated teasel extract by helping to
reduce the look of fine lines on the contour area.
Escin from horse chestnut helps to fight dark circles while
caffeine helps to fight puffiness.
The product itself is light and very much like a gel/serum
in texture. You might be able to notice from the photos that it is also
slightly iridescent in colour which I rather like as it instantly helps to
brighten tired eyes and lighten eye bags (of
which I have plenty).
The applicator itself is fabulous with one side dispensing
the product and the opposing side featuring a sleek, smooth and cryo-metallic (meaning ultra cold metal) smoothing
tip.
I like to dab the product around my eye area before using
the cool metal tip to massage it into the skin. The coolness of the tip
instantly revives tired, sore eyes and helps to reduce the appearance of
puffiness.
The gel-serum is absorbed really quickly and instantly my
eyes feel revived and I look more awake.
I’ve been using it for several weeks now and I’m very
impressed.
I’m a big fan of its lightweight texture as opposed to a
thick, heavy cream and while it hasn’t got rid of my crows feet (but then what will other than cosmetic
surgery) it has really helped to brighten my eye area, reduce the
appearance of dark circles and really helps with puffiness after a bad nights
sleep.
I would highly recommend giving this a try if like me you
suffer with dark circles and puffiness of a morning!
Clarins Multi-Active Eye is available now and costs £35.
