Dr Organic Virgin Olive Oil Eye Serum

Dr Organic Virgin Olive Oil Eye Serum 

Dr Organic Virgin Olive Oil Eye Serum is a recent discovery in my search for eye care that really works. Formulated to reduce puffiness, dark circles and under eye bags, it boosts collagen around the eye area - the protein that ‘glues’ the skin, and it promotes cell hydration. As with the Dr Organic Pomengranate Advanced Recovery Eye Cream, I found after three weeks, the skin around the eye was completely hydrated, smooth, and fine line free. The anti-aging ingredient in olives is a hydrating fruit oil rich in Oleic acid, a powerful anti-aging antioxidant. Dark circles around the eyes were less reduced by the Dr Organic Olive Oil Eye Serum - the Dr Organic Pomengranate Advanced Recovery Eye Cream was more effective in erasing dark circles completely but the Virgin Olive Oil Eye Serum achieves its aims.

Eye serums are recommended for all skin types including more mature, aging skin. You will notice the difference between an eye cream and a serum. Creams are made by mixing oil with water. Active ingredients are added. Creams are more suited to dry and normal skin types. A serum is cooling, lighter and more easily absorbed, less like a cream and more like a gel. Serums are water-based only and are a more concentrated way of delivering key ingredients to the skin. One factor determining your choice of a serum or a cream generally should be your skin type – creams are for drier or normal skin conditions and oil-free serums suit acne-prone or oily skin. 

Apply sparingly by lightly tapping the Dr Organic Virgin Olive Oil Eye Serum twice daily around the delicate eye area using your ring finger, morning and at night after cleansing the skin to moisturize and rejuvenate. Apply also during the day if your skin is exposed to central heating which happens frequently during the winter months and drains moisture from the skin. An excellent product, this serum is an incredibly reasonably priced £9.29 for 15ml, the usual size for eye care. Available exclusively from Holland & Barrett stores nationwide or online. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Dr Organic is against animal testing. The Dr Organic Virgin Olive Oil Eye Serum is an honest little product.

Dr Organic Pomengranate Advanced Recovery Eye Cream

Dr Organic Pomengranate Eye Cream 15ml

Although seemingly slow-acting at first, Dr Organic Pomengranate Advanced Recovery Eye Cream is by now my eye cream of choice, the one I use twice daily, morning and night to moisturize the delicate area around the eye - tap lightly around the eye area using your ring finger. Available exclusively from Holland & Barrett, along with the entire Dr Organic range (previously reviewed), at an inexpensive £9.29 for 15ml, it is a super-efficient, light cream formulated using the anti-aging super berry pomengranate, a fruit which is bursting with Vitamin C and B5. I found after three weeks, dark circles around the eye area were reduced and the skin around the eye was completely hydrated, smooth and fine line free. Preventing dryness by actually protecting the skin, this eye cream is formulated to boost collagen stability, return elasticity, reduce puffiness and promote cell regeneration, ambitious claims fulfilled by a highly successful product. Recommended for all skin types including more mature, aging skin. £9.29 for 15ml. Available exclusively from Holland & Barrett stores in the UK or buy online at www.drorganic.co.uk

Dr Organic Organic Rose Otto Night Cream

Dr Organic Organic Rose Otto Night Cream

Like the Dr Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream reviewed previously, Dr Organic Organic Rose Otto Night Cream is free from petrochemicals and artificial preservatives including parabens and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) that strip the skin causing long-term damage. Using only organic and natural ingredients in its products, and the latest scientific methods of extraction, this ecologically-conscious beauty range fulfils the aims of its products I think. 

The Dr Organic Organic Rose Otto Night Cream anti-ages instantly. Working specifically when applied overnight, I found it brightened the appearance of the skin to reveal a natural, moisturized glow. Penetrating  the subcutaneous layers of the epidermis, lowering trans dermal dehydration, and stimulating new fibroblasts - cells that synthesize collagen, the skin’s vital proteins - the health of my skin was revived during sleep. 

One of the most expensive and newly applied essential beauty oils, the Oil of Rosa Damascena contained in the Rose Otto Night Cream is renowned for its rejuvenating properties. It improves the skin's texture making it appear smoother, softer, younger. The rose oil combines with biologically active ingredients including Menyanthes Trifoliata, an aquatic plant clinically tested for its anti-aging properties. As a successful overnight cream, the Rose Otto Night Cream leaves the skin hydrated and nourished. One of my favourite recently found skincare ranges, Dr Organic is stocked exclusively at Holland and Barrett stores in the UK. £9.79 for 50ml. Available also to buy online. www.drorganic.co.uk

Dr Organic Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream

Dr Organic Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream

Free from petrochemicals, additives and artificial preservatives that strip the skin of valuable moisture causing long-term damage, Dr Organic Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream is a rich cream which rescues the skin in emergency conditions. Containing manuka, the healing honey of New Zealand and the Maori people, it is a hypoallergenic (tested against allergies), moisturising, nourishing, rejuvenating and soothing cream which can be used on dry skin, sun exposed skin, sensitive skin, irritated skin and allergic skin. It is, I found, particularly effective as an under eye moisturiser, an eye cream.

As a rescue cream, it repairs, restores and hydrates dry, cracked and damaged skin, enhancing natural cell regeneration and improving skin tone. Additionally, it contains Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax, Zinc Oxide, Liquorice Root and the essential skin nutrient Vitamin E. Dr Organic Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream is a treasure of a product. 50ml for the incredibly reasonable price of £8.69. The Dr Organic range is stocked exclusively at Holland and Barrett stores in the UK. Available also to buy online. See the Dr Organic range at www.drorganic.co.uk
