My eye area looks bright,  fresh and is all plump with no fine lines. At one time, I am rotating few products based on what my skin needs, the same way I have these three eye cream which I am loving these days and rotate them based on what I need. For the days, I feel dryness, I go for more hydrating eye cream. For the days, I did not sleep well or did not get enough sleep,  I got for the brightening one. I am glad all the eye creams I am talking about in this post are keeping my eye area without wrinkles or lines.

Darphin Stimulskin Plus Multi-Corrective Divine Eye Cream

Darphin Stimulskin Plus Multi-Corrective Divine Eye Cream (CAD $160) for youthful, firm, and bright eyes is described as a total anti-aging transformation for eyes. It contains Youth Activating Crystal Resin, Luminizing Jade Powder and Potent Sea Emerald that combine for collagen-boosting rejuvenation and radiance.

The powerful botanical ingredients for smoothing lines, lifting and volumizing are below:

Crystal Resin – Extracted from Pistacia Lentiscus tree, it reactivates a protein found in fibroblasts that degrades over time but is
key for optimal cellular activity. Increases natural collagen production and promotes the dermal re-densifying process.

Sea Emerald – Helps to improve skin cohesion and restore natural bounce, and helps reinforce the natural production of collagen. It is a botanical jewel which is extremely rare and as expensive as caviar, to help lift, firm and re-volumize skin.

Siegesbeckia Orientalis – This botanical extract supports natural collagen, thus helping to maintain skin’s structural integrity for a smoother appearance. The look of lines and wrinkles is reduced.

Commiphora Mukul – Helps visibly restore volume from within, so skin resists the loss of its youthful, natural cushion and maintains firmness and elasticity.

The brightening and depuffing ingredients include:

Jade Powder – Micro-fine powder from this powerful stone creates an immediate brightening effect.

Sea Bouquet – Algae extracts help to reduce dark circles and puffiness over time thanks to the natural polysaccharides they contain.

There are two multi-corrective massage tools included with Stimulskin Plus Eye Cream, not shown in the pictures, which help massage the eye area from inside to out and also for lifting the area upwards.

The eye cream comes in a sturdy heavy jar and I take my spatula to take out the pea-sized amount. I have used this eye cream for more than a month regularly and now using this in rotation with the other eye creams. My eye area looks firmer, smoother, and appears more lifted. The eye area is well moisturized and I do not notice the few fine lines I started noticing a few months back. It does help with the puffiness and the dark circles, which are so un-invited guests these days as I do tend to get less than 6 hours of sleep on most days. I do notice there is a luminizing or illuminating effect on the eye area, it appears so healthy and youthful when I am using this eye cream regularly. I am very impressed by the results from this eye cream and do not want to be without it ever. The moisturizer I am loving from Darphin from the Ideal Resource line I reviewed here is almost empty.

Darphin is available at ShoppersDrugMart.com and Darphin.com.

Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening And Depuffing Eye Contour Cream

Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening And Depuffing Eye Contour Cream (CAD $85) is described as an eye cream that delivers a lifted and depuffed look to the eye area while rapidly reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream gives a brighter, lifted look while reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Caffeine and Brazilian ginseng root extract rapidly reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, energizing tired-looking eyes. Concentrated horse chestnut and acamella oleracea extract smooth the appearance of crow's feet and fine lines while giving a lifted look. Antioxidant-rich lutein provides a radiant glow to the fragile skin around the eye. Cocoa and shea butter plump the skin with moisture, as watermelon rind extract and sodium PCA infuse hydration into the skin. Eyes look fresher, younger, depuffed, and more rested for immediate and noticeable results.

The product comes in pump dispenser and half pump is all I need for one time use for both eyes. I have used it regularly for more than three weeks and then continue to use this in rotation with my other eye creams and have noticed my eyes feel well rested, fresh, with no puffiness on the days I have lack of sleep. Along with that, I notice few fine lines which are not much noticeable and no wrinkles in the area, it does keep the area very moisturized. My eyes and eye area is sensitive and I did not notice any irritation or eye-watering when I use this eye cream. After cleansing in the morning and evening, I pump a pea-sized amount of Auto Correct onto my ring fingers and lightly pat onto my eye area, taking care not to apply the product too close to the lashline. I follow up with my face oil and moisturizer. There is no impact on the application and staying power of the makeup over it during the day. Another thing I do with this eye cream is to keep it in the fridge, it gives such cooling effect once applied. Another favorite from Sunday Riley is the Good Genes I reviewed here.

Sunday Riley is available at SundayRiley.com.

Resultime by Collin Paris – 5 Expertise Eye Cream

Resultime by Collin Paris – 5 Expertise Eye Cream (£40.70) is described as an eye cream that uses a unique formula to fight the five signs of aging in the eye contour area: dark circles, puffiness, fat pockets, wrinkles and sagging. It provides a rejuvenating boost for your eyes. This is the eye cream I have used for a few years already (on and off as not available in Canada) now, I think I am on my fourth or fifth jar. I purchased this for the first time when I was in London and then repurchased from CultBeauty website. I do not find it on their website anymore and as you see in the pictures, I am almost done with this jar too.

But I am glad I am using some amazing eye creams mentioned above but I will surely repurchase them on my next trip to the UK or Europe. I apply in the morning and evening, starting from the corner of the eye, massage using small circles, and smoothing movements. I smooth over the eye contour area using your fingertips, then gently tap the remaining product into the skin to penetrate. Resultime by Collin Paris – 5 Expertise Eye Cream is available at resultime.co.uk

These eye creams are surely worth checking out and I have used these for some good amount of time before compiling my thoughts here in this post.

Good Genes

I bought Sunday Riley Good Genes more than a few months back and is one of my favourite products with acid, I have used many acids and liked a few, and this is one of them.

Good Genes is described as “All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment is formulated with high potency, a purified grade lactic acid that immediately exfoliates dull, pore-clogging dead skin cells, revealing smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin. Fine lines appear visually plumped while the skin looks more radiant. With continued use, the appearance of stubborn hyperpigmentation and the visible signs of aging are reduced for a healthier-looking complexion. Perfect for all skin types and all ages, this treatment is enhanced with licorice for brightening, Good Genes clarifies, smooths, and retexturizes for instant radiance. “

This is a great product for dullness, uneven skin texture, dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. It is suitable for normal, oily, combination and dry skin types. For your reference, I have a combination skin type with occasional hormonal breakouts. The product comes in a glass bottle with a pump.

My Review

After using this product continuously in the beginning and occasionally when I have an acne flare-up, or I want that glow in the morning. This can be used both during the day (of course, followed by a moisturizer and sunscreen) and at night, but I do prefer to use this as a treatment during the night. I get such good results with this product that I can not say enough about it. Also, I do not use any moisturizer or night cream when I am using this during the night. I cleanse my face and apply this product to my face avoiding the eye area. In the morning, my face looks so glowy, clear and plumpy. It does give the feeling of new skin.

I have noticed less acne or hormonal breakouts when I use it and when I have a breakout, it does get better soon. With this, I have felt my acne scars fade much faster, which is like a miracle for me as I get a few new acne scars every month. I have not noticed such fast results with any other acid product I have used. Also, I did not notice any peeling or irritation with this product. I did my due diligence to use sunscreen the next day when I used this treatment at night.

This product has a different chemical kind of smell which fades away very soon. But once you see the results, you will not even bother about the smell. This is an AHA exfoliant, and this formulation of Lactic Acid works perfectly on the skin's surface and is very effective in resurfacing it. The effect of this product is almost immediate; I could see the glow even 5 to 10 minutes after application. It does absorb easily when applied and does not leaves any oily or dry feeling on the skin. The skin feels calm and smooth. I am a Fan and would highly recommend trying this unless you have very sensitive skin.
