If you managed to catch my review of Estée Lauder's Pure Color Envy lipstick the other week, (here's the link if you're interested) you may have noticed me mention at the end of the post that I was given a sample pot of the Advanced Night Repair Eye by the lovely lady at the Duty Free beauty counter. Maybe it was the fact that I'd been traveling for several hours and the poor girl thought I could use a little help, either way, I'm not complaining.
This rich gel creme is a comprehensive anti-ageing product which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, dryness and uneven skin tone. Phew, that's one busy eye cream!
First things first, I love the texture of this product. It's definitely more of a gel than a cream and feels silky smooth to the touch. It applies like a dream and feels extremely rich and luxurious. Despite having a gel-like consistency, the Advanced Night Repair Eye isn't sticky and doesn't leave any nasty residue on the skin. It has a very subtle scent which I almost want to say smells minty in the pot; however this doesn't translate on the skin.
I have been using the Night Repair Eye for almost two weeks and if truth be told, I haven't noticed much of a difference. That being said, I'm pretty lucky in that I have very few, if any fine lines around my eyes, perhaps only the occasional dark circles so I guess I'm not the ideal guinea pig. I think those with more mature skin may see better results. One thing I will say about this product though is that it does add a bit of luxury to my night-time skin routine and I actually do really enjoy using it. Plus I'm going with the fact that the best way to tackle wrinkles is prevention rather than cure... I'm guessing it can't hurt to start a little early.
