Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Blink Eye Repair Peptide Complex is a wonderful eye cream, with its own cooling magnetic applicator built into the lid. The peptide-rich eye cream is lightweight, fast absorbing and emollient. It melts into the skin and leaves behind no greasy residue. The metal applicator is magnetic and attaches to the lid, and its convex surface protrudes enough to fit perfectly under the eyes. Gently gliding it back and forth has a wonderful cooling effect that helps reduce any puffiness. This eye cream leaves the delicate skin under the eyes soft, moisturized, nourished, smooth and supple. Additionally, the caffeine reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, while the Niacinamide and Vitamin C brighten the skin, and the Hyaluronic Acid plumps fine lines and deeply hydrates. Furthermore, the peptides smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Overall, this is a very effective eye cream that lives up to its claims and that is a real pleasure to use.

    HH Science Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift on Sale!

    Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

    HH Science Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift on sale! Normally $119.00, it is currently on sale for $59.99. HH Science was gracious enough to include Lola's Secret Beauty Blog in their most recent catalog (pictured above).

    With over 40 years of experience in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Helen M. Torok, MD, who is the Medical Director of the Trillium Creek Dermatology Center in Ohio and co-founder of HH Science, has launched a new eye cream.

    According to Dr. Torok, "Using a dermatologist tested fragrance-free eye cream with clinical strength + clean anti-glycation ingredients like green tea, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and skin firming peptides is key to achieving ageless eyes.” explains Helen M. Torok, MD, Medical Director of the Trillium Creek Dermatology Center in OH and co-founder of HH Science.

    She asserts, "The skin is naturally thinner around our eyes and as a result this is where we tend to show our age first. Glycation is a natural process that occurs as you age, starting around the age of 20. Excess sugar in your body begins to bind with fats and proteins, creating compounds called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs. Even though aging is a natural process, there are some external factors that accelerate the process like diet, sun exposure, smoking, stress, and lifestyle choices. AGE’s tend to gravitate and latch on to proteins like collagen and elastin which are key to keeping skin firm, plump and supple. Over time, this creates fine lines, wrinkles, and makes the skin appear dull, dry, and uneven which can be combated with daily use of an eye cream with clinically effective and bioavailable anti-glycation ingredients.”

    HH Science’s Clinical Strength + Clean Instant Eye Lift is formulated with optical diffusers and Peptides since they firm, brighten, and smooth fine lines. This formula contains powerful skin firming peptides coupled with anti-glycation ingredients, and potent antioxidants. Together they make skin appear more firm, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles. Furthermore, this gem of an eye cream provides essential hydration while the optical diffusers brighten the delicate skin around the eyes. This cream formula is lightweight, ultra-emollient and it melts into the skin with ease. It neither contains fragrance, nor does it have any sort of aroma. Therefore, it causes no irritation to my sensitive eyes.

    According to HH Science,

    Powerful, skin-firming peptides pair with anti-glycation ingredients and potent antioxidants to help restore skin firmness, smooth fine lines, and wrinkles and visibly reduce dark circles. Delivers essential hydration while optical diffusers immediately brighten the delicate skin around the eyes.

    HH Science Good Morning Sunshine! Brightening and Hydrating Eye Cream is formulated to soften the appearance of fine lines, to lighten the appearance of dark circles, to nourish and hydrate the delicate skin below the eyes and to stimulate circulation. Not only does it deliver upon these promises, but it also de-puffs skin and leaves it with a lovely luminosity. Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates the skin, while plumping fine lines, caffeine reduces puffiness and the peptides and vitamins nourish and moisturize the skin. The cream is lightweight, fast absorbing and I found that my skin was immediately hydrated and nourished. The plumping effect and luminosity was likewise immediate. However, the lightening of the dark circles took several weeks of consistent use to really see a difference, and the difference was quite obvious. This is a really effective eye cream, and I am thrilled by the results that I am seeing after using it for about a month. This brand is cruelty-free and prides itself on using high quality ingredients for their first-rate products.
    According to HH Science,

    • Promotes collagen growth on the cellular level increasing the strength and flexibility of fragile capillaries.
    • Stimulates circulation around the eyes with peptides, vitamins and anti-inflammatory agents.
    Directions: Typically, one pump for both eyes. Then dip a finger into the cream and use that to make a semi-circle of dots, starting just below the inner part of your eyebrow and moving sideways and upward along the orbital bone that surrounds your eye. Then, tap the eye cream gently into the skin with your ring finger, which provides the least amount of pressure on the skin.

    Curél Moisture Repair Eye Cream Review

    Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

    Curél Moisture Repair Eye Cream has been a revelation for me, and it is proof positive that an eye cream doesn't have to cost close to a mortgage payment! I should preface this by stating that I am quite finicky about eye creams, and that is because I have sensitive eyes and because rich eye creams tend to give me milia under my eyes.

    Given that Curél is Japan’s #1 brand for dry, sensitive skin, I was certain that this fragrance-free eye cream wasn't going to irritate my sensitive eyes, but I was concerned that it was going to be too rich for my skin and cause milia. Therefore, my trial period was handled with great care. I dabbed a tiny amount between my ring fingers and warmed it up before gently patting it into my freshly washed– and still slightly damp– skin, and let it sink in completely. This cream is rich, concentrated and ultra-emollient, and therefore only the smallest amount was needed for both of my eyes. Each time I use this cream it leaves my skin very soft, smooth, supple and moisturized. What is more impressive is the fact that it diminishes under eye puffiness, softens the appearance of fine lines and leaves skin luminous. The bigger issue for me was whether prolonged use was going to cause milia, and after several weeks of twice a day use I am truly delighted to state that I have no milia! Not only is this my current favorite eye cream, but it is very affordable. It is now a staple for me, and nobody is more surprised that I!

    According to Curél,

    This concentrated eye cream deeply hydrates and visibly reduces fine lines. It nourishes the sensitive eye area with long lasting hydration.

    Features:

    HYDRATING EYE CREAM – This ceramide infused under eye cream works to noticeably reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness.

    RICH IN CERAMIDES – This ceramide infused eye cream helps replenish ceramides, a vital part of your skin’s natural moisture barrier.

    FOR DRY, SENSITIVE SKIN - This daily eye cream gently hydrates with care for a soft and dewy complexion.

    FRAGRANCE FREE, pH BALANCED, COLORANT FREE - This hydrating eye cream is formulated without drying alcohols for dry, sensitive skin.

    DOUBLE HYDRATION - Use after moisturizing with Curel Japanese Skin Care Moisture Facial Milk or Curel Intensive Moisture Facial Cream for a complete hydration skin care routine.

    Directions: Gently apply a small amount to the eye area and on eyelids using a gentle patting motion. Smooth from the inside corner of the eye outwards.   

    Overall Assessment: This is an excellent and affordable eye cream! Its efficacy is impressive, and it leaves my eyes looking and feeling wonderful. A+

    Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

    Derma E Skin D-Stress CBD Cheek & Eye Cream Corrector is a really nice color corrector cream that transforms from a green shade to what Derma E describes as a universal skin tint, but I find that it imparts no color at all once it sinks into the skin. I have only used it under my eyes, and I find that it reduces puffiness when I don't get enough sleep, it also calms irritated and red skin and helps to diminish the appearance of dark circles. Furthermore, it is a moisturizing, nourishing and antioxidant-rich formula that is effective and very affordable.
    According to Derma E,

    Our color-correcting, cheek and eye cream transforms from green to a universal skin tint, instantly neutralizing the appearance of redness and calming sensitized skin for immediate skin stress relief.

Antioxidant-rich Tamanu Seed Oil and skin-strengthening Pycnogenol® help reduce the appearance of puffiness to restore the area’s suppleness for a youthful-looking complexion.
