Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum

Let's be honest, it's hard to tell if an eye cream is doing anything unless your wrinkles disappear miraculously over night. On the other hand understanding if the eye cream is not working for you is way simpler. You can figure it out after several uses. I've had Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum for some time now and let me share my thoughts!

Kiehl's Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum

It promises to visibly lift, firm and restore youthful looking shape to eyes. You can use this eye cream underneath your eyes and for the lids. It contains 10% of Botanical Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate. It comes with a pretty standard amount of product for an eye cream - 15ml, but what's not so common, it has a pump. I think it's a big plus since you don't have to dip your finger into a pot (that can be pretty annoying if you have longish nails). The packaging is made out of a light weight material, my guess it's aluminium but don't quote me on that. This makes it fantastic for travelling as it's not prone to breakage as glass would be. You can also control how much product you squeeze, meaning you can press lightly and get a small amount or apply more pressure and pump a larger amount of product.

When it comes to the actual product it has a relatively light weight texture. It's not heavy by any means. I haven't noticed any overpowering artificial scent to it. So far so good, right?  It absored pretty quickly when I tried it on my hand, but when I applied it on my lids it was a totally different story. It would just sit on the lids and under the eye area. After waiting a good amount of time for it to absorb (around 10-15 min) it still felt tacky. The best part was when I tried to put my eye-makeup and concealer on and it started to crumble. It was not a good look nor feel. Frankly speaking I was really disappointed. It's not cheap and I was hoping that it would at least help in the moisturization department, needless to say have eye-opening properties. I tried to work with it multiple times. I would stop using it and later come back to it and give it another shot. Every time I would do so, I would catch myself thinking that I know why I stopped using it on the first place. I actually started to wonder maybe I got a bad one and it's just a bad luck. My friend has tried a sample of this product and she experienced exactly the same problem with it crumbling off.

My final verdict, I would not recommend this product. If you want a good all-rounder that will absorb quickly, keep your dry eyelids at bay and one that would come with a pump, I say look in the direction of Biotherm Aquasource Biosensitive Fragile Eye Contour. This eye cream has not let me down and one of a few I can actually see working for me. If you are not concerned with dry eyelids and want something more potent for the area under the eyes that would also brighten I would suggest getting a sample of Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Eye Balm and see how you get along.

Let me know what is your all time favourite eye cream or have you found one!

Lifesaver for Dry and Flaky Eyelids

Today let's talk a little bit about eyelids and eyeballs. Recently with my skin getting more sensitive and dry I stumbled across a problem of extremely dry eyelids. I am talking about eyelids that flake and any eyeshadow you put would emphasise it like no other. Besides the not so pretty look the itching also gets to you. Therefore I was determined to find a solution. I have tried multiple eye creams from different price points and nothing seemed to work, until I went with my friend to get her makeup done at the YSL counter. There her makeup artist nicely suggested I try an eye cream that contains Omega 3. She recommended Biotherm Aquasource Biosensitive Fragile Eye Contour. This eye cream doesn't leave my sight and to find out why keep on reading!

I haven't tried a lot of products from Biotherm, a few moisturisers and a serum. They were ok but I haven't been really wowed. Biotherm Aquasource Biosensitive Fragile Eye Contour has been specifically developed to target redness, tightness and itching while soothing and reducing puffiness. Its key ingredients are Omega 3 & 6 and pure thermal plankton. It's alcohol free, colorant free and fragrance free. It comes in a sleek packaging with a pump. I really appreciate the fact that I don't have to dip my finger into a pot which is the case with most eye creams. You get 15ml of product. You can control how much product you pump out from the tube. I usually use a pea size amount for both eyes. The consistency is not too thick which I like. It absorbs quickly into the skin so you can proceed with applying your concealer and eyeshadow without having to wait around for long.

It comes in a plastic container which is good for traveling as it's less likely to break and leak. But the best part is that it actually works! This is the only eye cream that has been able to combat my dry as a desert eyelids. After using Biotherm Aquasource Biosensitive Fragile Eye Contour for a few days I could already tell the difference. My eyelids were less itchy and within around a week the flakiness was gone. It's a true miracle worker for me. As said I mainly use it for my eyelids and the area slightly above it but you can of course apply it under the eyes as well. Weirdly enough I don't have as dry and sensitive skin under my eyes so I opt for something that happens to be in my stash. Currently I am using Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Eye Cream. The only downside of the Biotherm Aquasource Biosensitive Fragile Eye Contour is that it doesn't have any anti-aging or wrinkle reducing properties as such.

If you struggle with dry eyelids and your eyeshadow always clings to dry patches, give this one a go. It will change your life, no joke. You can purchase it at your closest Biotherm counter or online. In my opinion it's not ridiculously expensive for an eye cream and I would gladly pay more if I had to. 

Let me know if you have any other remedies for dry eyelids. I would love to know!
