In Praise Of… Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum
If you want an eye cream that is power packed and REALLY works, you’re looking at it.
Where to start with this? I love it so much I could literally just fill the airwaves with one big GUSH. And the irony is this. I generally can’t stand eye creams. Not because I enjoy staring at the puffiness and creases under my eyes. And not because I can’t be bothered with the faff of applying yet another thing to my face. No, my issue with eye creams is this: most of the options on the market don’t work. Yeah, sorry I said it. And so, in the past when people ask, ‘What eye cream can you recommend?’ My response was, SILENCE. Recently, this changed. I still rarely recommend eye creams but when I do, this makes the cut. Why? Because bottom line, it works - 93% saw a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines over 4 weeks - How do you argue with that? What sets this eye cream apart from others is the epic formulation. It includes retinol, the gold standard skin smoothing ingredient that everyone needs to have in their kit. But there’s a difference: where retinol has a reputation for being quite harsh ( i.e you would never use normal retinol around the delicate eye area), this has been formulated with a fast acting but slow release retinol technology so it can be used to smooth the under eye creases on even the most sensitive eye area - and can be used over your eyelids, which is highly unusual. The texture is light, the hydration is intense ( 24 hours) and the brightening effect is real. So please stop wasting your money on those useless eye creams that promise to ‘revitalise’ your eyes. If you want to ‘revitalise’ your eyes, stick slices of cucumber on them. If you want something that actually does a proper grown up job, just get this. murad.co.uk
