| 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.
