Estee Lauder advanced night repair

Claims: All the proven repair of our #1 Serum. This silky serum-gel helps dramatically reduce the look of every key sign of aging around the fragile eye area:

·         Fine lines

·         Wrinkles

·         Puffiness

·         Dark circles

·         Dryness

·         Uneven skintone

This is a silicone base eye gel.The main active ingredient is the bifida ferment lysate ,that is a yeast ferment extract,which can improve the skin turnover for a brighter eye counter.This is a not proven ingredient ,recently being found to help in repairing of cellular injury(DNA repair).Soybean seed extract for targeting uneven skin tone.Wheat germ extract nourish the epidermis.There are endless list of beneficial plant extracts for anti oxidative purpose to protect the skin from free radical that speeds up the aging around the eye.Caffeine improve the lymph circulation around the eye. Sodium hyaluronate,cholesterol,linoleic acid and squalane are excellent hydrating and repairing ingredients for the skin and long term usage can ensure the efficacy.

Petrolatum poses the risk of congesting the pore.Congesting pore around the eye area will develop into oil seed ,which is very embrassing around the eye area.

This is a light weight eye gel with a little bit sharp essential oil smell,I can tolerate with the smell.A small pea size is enough for both eye,including upper and lower eye lips.I tap it gently around the eye area and absorb quickly into the skin without any sticky feeling like a eye cream.The result is noticeable after 1 week,the eye area become brighter.Normally,when I burnt the midnight oil for the exam on the next day I will look extremely tired the next morning.However,after using this eye gel the condition has relieved.I will put a thick layer of eye gel around the eye as an eye mask before I started to study the whole night,the next morning my eye area will look brighter,others think I have a sufficient 8 hours sleep.=)This eye gel has a little bit stingy feeling on application,but after application the stingy feeling subside and won`t redden the eye area.

Tap it gently around the eye area day and night.Personally I will use it as an eye mask when my eye is very tired .

Pros:absorb easily,hydrate,long term usage beneficial for the skin

Cons:hmmm…actually no,only the oil seed problem but not so significant

Available in all estee lauder counters,RM200 for 15 ml,sometime comes in a set with a parfum sample and 5 ml eye gel for traveling.

Hylexin serious dark circles eye cream review

a formula of antioxidants, humectants, repairing elements, and de-puffing components to fight darkness under the eyes and ugly discoloration.(claim)

This eye cream won as the 2011 best eye cream in cleo magazine .I bought this eye cream was because of a prospect of this eye cream can help to solve my serious dark circle problem.

Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Silica, Cetyl Alcohol, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Stearic Acid, Dipeptide-2, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Chrysin, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Hydroxysuccinimide, Hesperidine Methyl Chalcone, Steareth-20, Polysilicone 11, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Potassium Sorbate, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben

This eye cream consists of various active ingredients such as :hydroxysuccinate, gynostemma pentaphyllum extract, palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3.All of them helps to reduce the puffiness and spider vein around the eye area. The main active ingredient is the chrysin which is a plant extract and poses the function almost same with the other active ingredients. Silica is a semi metal that only helps to make the skin surface smooth virtually .Cetyl alcohol may cause driness,The worst thing is that ,this product is labelled as paraben free,but what can you see at the end of the ingredient list?

I massage for  around 5 mins also can`t absorb properly...

It has a creamy texture and cannot be spread out easily, this leads to the formation of fine line around the delicate eye area in case you over rub  when you are applying. It has a distinctive natural floral smell without the aiding of fragrance. After applying on the eye area, you can see an immediate brightening effect, but it will not persist until the next morning. After using for one month, I did not see any reduction on the dark circle, on top of that, my eye area becomes allergic sometime. However  I would not blame this eye cream since this condition may due to I overused of the eye cream .The allergic reaction will be more obvious in case you put the eye cream on the upper eyelid.

Instructions:

Apply by massaging the cream around the eye contour region. (Note: No actual how-to-use information is published on the Hylexin site.)

Pros: one tube can last for a very long time

Cons: expensive, causing allergic, poor texture
