Product Information
It’s so hard to find a good eye cosmetic like the SkinCeuticals Eye Renewal Gel which according to one internet user has decreased her
milia and fine lines. This is just my opinion though, I can’t speak for everybody because I’m the most awkward eye cosmetic user in the entire universe (an exaggeration, of course). But honestly, do you happen to be like me who has (on so many cases) used the face moisturizer as an eye cream? No? I didn’t think so. It was just me because I thought I knew better and it’s only lately that I’ve discovered I can’t continue with this self-imposed beauty regimen.
It started from a very casual conversation with a friend.
“Wow, you look so nice today! You’re eyes are sparkling, did you take anything? Or did you just get enough sleep at last?”, said I to a friend who looks fresh-faced.
“Well, partly that. But also because I’m using this really great product, SkinCeuticals Eye Renewal gel.”, my friend said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Have you heard of it?”
I shook my head not only because I haven’t heard of it but also because I didn’t know that I have to use a different product for the areas around my eyes. I googled SkinCeuticals Eye Renewal gel and stubbornly this, “Can I use a face moisturizer for my eyes?”
The latter inquiry sent me to www.blog.myskin.com for reasons why a face moisturizer is a NO-NO for the areas around your eyes.
- The skin around the eye is much softer and sensitive and hence prone to more damage in the form of fine lines, dark circles, puffiness etc.
- Aging makes the skin thinner and hence more vulnerable to genetic and environmental change.
- Most facial moisturizers contain active ingredients that are too harsh for the delicate under eye area.
The reasons listed above were enough to change my crooked moisturizer philosophy. Simultaneously, I learned that SkinCeuticals Eye Renewal gel is consist of elements to combat lines on the skin around your eyes and to make it softer and hydrated. Tanna Frederick, a movie and stage actress, inlcude the product in her nightly skincare routine.
I don’t know about you but if an actress gives praises about a skin product without even getting paid (see Gwyneth choosing a SkinCeuticals product as well), it’s a validation of its quality. Moreover, the lady from www.pinklavenders.com also talked about SkinCeuticals Eye Renewal gel as a part of her nighttime routine.
This product is by far the best eye serum I’ve ever used. Good value for the price, hydrating and Because it is in gel form, the ingredients are absorbed easily and doesn’t just sit on top of your skin like a regular eye cream.
One thing that you should take note about the Eye Renewal gel though is to NOT use it during the day. The hydroxy acid blend, I’ve gathered, reacts badly with daylight. You may end up with damaged skin. It’s safe for the sensitve areas around the eyes however. Just apply it at night.
Now that I’ve known of these things, you can expect me to contemplate on getting one for my badly-in-need-of-treatment skin areas around the eyes. Hopefully my friend will notice a big difference in me too on the next time we meet. Most likely, I’ll tell her then that it’s thanks to SkinCeuticals Eye Renewal gel.
