PCA Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel Review

Press Sample Powered by Brandbacker (Unaffiliated Links)

During the summer, I often prefer to use a lightweight eye gel in lieu of a heavier eye cream, and when I began testing PCA Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel I knew that it was a great fit for me.

Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel is a lightweight gel that is neither sticky, nor too thick. Instead, it has a silky smooth texture that sinks into the skin quickly, is very refreshing, and leaves the skin remarkably hydrated. Furthermore, this formula simultaneously reduces the appearance of dark circles while reducing puffiness, and while I only occasionally have to deal with these unpleasant byproducts of sleep-deprivation- I definitely saw a measurable reduction in both when I used this eye gel. I also noted that this gel softened the appearance of fine lines while firming and lifting the delicate eye area beneath my eyes. Unlike many eye gels, PCA Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel is formulated to be used around the entire eye area– including on the eyelids. Therefore, people who have crepey eyelids, or need added hydration in this often neglected region, will appreciate the versatility of this eye gel. Since I have neither of these particular issues, I cannot comment of its efficacy in this regard, but judging by its overall efficacy– I imagine that it will deliver on this claim as well.

Select Ingredients and their Attributes:

Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3: a peptide that provides similar benefits as vitamin A without irritation, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and making the skin smoother and brighter.

Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract and Darutoside: reduces upper eyelid sagging, strengthens the skin and reduces crow’s feet wrinkles, while minimizing dark circles and puffiness.

Niacinamide, Fraxinus Excelsior Bark Extract and Silanetriol: this combination of ingredients reduces eye puffiness, dark circles and under-eye bags while providing antioxidant protection.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Callus Culture Extract (Orange Stem Cell Extract): strengthens skin structure to maintain healthy and youthful-looking skin; it organizes and firms the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
According to PCA,

This cutting-edge eye gel strengthens, firms and lifts the skin around the entire eye area. This unique formulation utilizes the latest science, combining proven ingredients in a single formulation that can be applied directly to all areas around the eye, including the eyelid, to treat all the common concerns of the aging eye area and achieve dramatic results rapidly. Its light gel texture is excellent for all skin types. Also formulated in a cream, Ideal Complex Restorative Eye Cream, for those who prefer a richer texture.

Claims:
  • One product to treat dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, wrinkles and sagging eyelids simultaneously
  • Can be applied directly to the eyelid to firm and lift
  • Has a light, silky texture
  • Rapid results seen within one week

Overall Assessment: Not only am I impressed that PCA Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel delivers on its claims, but I am also very happy that it is such a refreshing gel that offers deep hydration without being sticky or unpleasant. I have been using it so frequently that I imagine that I will finish this tube by the end of summer.
