Just to add this review to the one I just did on the Rememergent Microcirculation Therapy.....
I was sent this product when I ordered some actives to mix up a batch of my eye serum from skinactives.com. They've started to offer some ready made products (we've talked some about their DMAE serum in other threads...) and this is one of them. I started to use it in the mornings after the Rememergent Micro. The consistency of this stuff is really delicious - I loveeee putting it on! I liked it from the start because it sinks right in, it's very moisturizing without being oily, and it has an immediate brightening effect, which I sometimes need! But, after using it for a couple of weeks in combination with the Remergent Micro., my eyes are wider, brighter, and firmer, and not just when I put this stuff on! The brightening and firming seems to be cumulative. I'm not 100% sure which of the two products are responsible. I've tried some experiments using one and not the other. When I do, my eyes don't look quite as good, and given the price of this stuff ($17 for .5 fl oz.), I can afford to use both!
I'll also add the ingredients and skinactives' own description of it. I definitely give it 5 katee stars 
Properties: Brightening, anti-inflammatory, skin thickening.
Use: Use once or twice daily on clean skin around around the eyes and on the eye lids.
Ingredient list: Water, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Sea kelp bioferment, Sorbitol, Butylene glycol, Cetyl alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Stearyl alcohol, Sesamum indicum Seed Oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Persea gratissima (Avocado) oil, caffiene, hesperidin methyl chalcone, natural active peptides, grape seed pronathocyanidins, Sodium hyaluronate, Chrysin, Pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed oil (and) astaxanthin (and) lycopene (and) alpha-D-tocopherol (and) tocotrienols (and) lutein (and) alpha lipoic acid, Cholesteryl oleyl carbonate (and) Cholesteryl nonanoate (and) Cholesteryl chloride and BHT, Glutathione, Pal-GQPR (palmitoyl tetrapeptide), Neroli (Citrus aurantium) flower distillate, Polysorbate 20, Citric acid, Dimethicone, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Diazolidinyl urea, phenoxyethanol methylparaben, propylparaben
Additional Information:
This eye cream has everything that could help the delicate skin of the eye lids. It is rich but not oily (because too much oil could bring about milia.) It contains actives that will help de-puff, like caffeine, and others that will help maintain skin thickness, which otherwise would decrease with age (sodium hyaluronate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide, natural active peptides). There is some chrysin there too, to help your own enzymes deal with hemoglobin-derived pigmentation, and hesperidin methyl chalcone and grape seed proanthocyanidins to protect blood vessels. I added lots of anti-oxidants, including glutathione, astaxanthin and more. Although this eye cream is so full of actives, it is still nice and pleasant to use: it has the soft pink color of astaxanthin and lycopene, the radiance of the liquid crystal and the fragrance of orange flower petals (neroli distillate). |
