Choosing an eye product

Choosing An Eye Product Found yourself wondering how to choose an eye cream lately? We’re here to help. With a library of extraordinary textures; gels, balms, creams and masks, ELEMIS’ eye care products are expertly formulated with powerful actives for eyes that look beautiful and bright. Eyes may be windows to the soul, but the delicate skin around them tells just how old that soul is. This fragile area is one of the first places to show signs of age. Sleep deprivation, exposure to electronic screens, pollution and the trials of everyday stresses all play their part. Naturally thin, it is prone to dryness, puffiness and decolouration, all of which contribute to a worn-out look. Nurturing your eye area with specially designed creams or gels, which need to be lighter than a normal moisturiser, will hydrate the skin around the eyes, without overloading. But how do you choose the right eye cream for you?

Enriched with Hawkweed, Daisy and Night Scented Stock, this beautiful botanic eye cream was formulated to specifically tackle the look of tired, puffy eyes and dark circles. Peptides help to revive and restore whilst the cold pressed extraction of Star ArvensisTM helps improve the appearance of skin elasticity.
