Eye Creme | Beauty and Fashion Tech

Vichy has a neat little product for tired eyes: the Vichy Aqualia Antiox Anti-Fatigue Ice-Effect Stick. This little eye gel stick moisturizes the under eye area and feels cooling, which is great for puffiness.

The product feels gel-like when it is first applies and the cooling is also felt immediately. It quickly absorbs to provide some light moisture. Put it in your refrigerator for an even greater cooling effect. The Vichy Ice-Effect stick also has Vitamin C, which is nice for its anti-oxidant properties and for brightening the skin. It is fragrance and paraben free.

If you have puffy eyes, this is a nice little item to have around. It is small, so it also fits nicely in a purse.

L’Oreal Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream comes in a double sided tube. One side for night and the other for day. As far as eye creams go, it is pretty standard, but a decent enough choice for a product with Retinol at around $20.

The day creme is really a light lotion that includes SPF 15 and moisturizers for basic conditioning and protection. It absorbs well, feels fine, and I really can’t find anything to complain about other than it doesn’t really stand out either. It basically is a just a good everyday basic eye cream.

The night creme is slightly thicker (but not much) and includes Retinol for anti-aging and wrinkle treatment. Retinol is pretty much the ingredient of choice for night treatment and L’Oreal’s cream feels good and absorbs well. However, without knowing the concentration of Retinol, it might not be the best choice available. If you are not sensitive to Retinol, look for an eye cream that includes the full amount allowed over the counter, such as ROC. I have my doubts that L’Oreal includes it to that concentration. Also, keep in mind that this cream, or any eye cream for that matter, regardless of the amount of Retinol, is not going to repair your deep set wrinkles. They might help with the appearance some, or better yet, prevent worsening, but no cream is a cure. Sorry.

Overall, L’Oreal’s eye cream duo is pretty standard. It has an OK price point for its ingredients, but mostly I just like the combo of a day and night cream in one package and I think it is particularly nice for travel.
