I have horrific eye bags, and I have accepted this fact years ago. It’s genetics and I can’t get rid of these bags even though I sleep 8 hours a day. I can’t find a way to make them disappear without having surgery or injection or something that requires me to go to the doctor, clinic, or hospital. Something that I don’t favor at this moment, but who knows, probably ten years from now I’ll do that. Unpredictable is one of human’s natures, right? 🙂
That doesn’t mean I don’t take care of my eyes area. No matter how my eyes look with their bags, I do my best to take care of them. I want to prevent the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. I want to keep the skin around my eyes soft, supple, and healthy as well. I bet most of you already know that out of our face areas, our eyes have the most thin and delicate skin, so we have to take care and maintain the skin without harming that delicate skin. What kind of things are we talking about right now? Let’s see the simple ones: rubbing and applying eye makeup in excessive amount, especially when you put eyeliner on the waterline and you drag down your eye bag. Do not do that, ladies. Just don’t!
So it’s very important to take care of our eyes. There are a lot of eye creams and eye serums out there, and the one that I’ve been using since last month is Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Infusion. A super-potent, fast-penetrating repair serum with all the repair benefits of Advanced Night Repair, made specifically for the delicate eye area in a new lightweight, refreshing texture – as stated from the press release.
If you’re confused about the difference between Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Infusion with the old one, the main difference is basically the texture. I have never tried the old one, but one thing for sure, the new one has a light texture so I don’t have to worry about my eyes looking cakey if I put foundation or concealer over the serum. On the contrary, it makes makeup products stay on pretty well.
The new Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Infusion claims to contain high-performance technologies such as:
- Anti-pollution technology: Comprehensive repair technology including encapsulated Alkyl Guanine Transferase (AGT) that helps to continuously repair the appearance of damage to the eye area caused by every major environmental assault including ozone, pollution and UV rays.
- Exclusive Chronolux™ Technology helps support the natural synchronization of skin’s repair around the eye area at exactly the right time. Consequently, signs of aging that can first appear around the eyes are reduced over time.
- Prevention and hydration: A high concentration of shooting anti-irritants plus a proprietary blend of antioxidants and high levels of proven Hyaluronic Acid working together to create the optimal environment for the natural protection and repair of the delicate eye area, thus helping reduce the look of dark circles, puffiness and crepiness around the eye.
My verdict about this eye serum is that it does the job like I expected. It hydrates and moisturizes the skin around my eyes. It doesn’t sting at all (this is the first factor for me whether to keep an eye product or give it away to someone else). But don’t expect this serum can make your eye bags disappear, because in my case, I still have visible eye bags. However, I can feel the eye area feeling supple and fresh now, and since it is a serum, I can layer it with another eye cream to add more treatment on the eye area. It retails for IDR 750,000.
Do you have an eye serum that you love?
