Review (5/5): Wonderful Eye Cream - Delivers Results - Soothing and Cooling
've been heavily looking into and researching Korean skin care beauty routine for about 4 months and trying a myriad of products. For years I have suffered from dry patches as well as acne breakouts ... which has perplexed me because I had never suffered from this as an adolescent ... only since I got into my 30s -- annoying and bizarre! So, I researched and researched and decided to give myself a go at the Korean skin care routine.
Skederm Ultimate Eye Cream is manufactured in South Korea, which is widely known all over the world for their cutting edge products in skincare .. so I was really hoping that this eye cream would hold up to other brands that claim the same regarding Korean skincare. Well, this eye cream is top notch ... it's incredibly soothing and cooling ... it hydrates like crazy and it absorbs into the skin very easily ... the texture is smooth and silky without being sticky and goopy. The scent is pretty much non-existent unless you really stick your nose up into it so that is a huge plus as the serum counterpart to this does have a strong scent, and while it is not an unpleasant scent it is just ... strong. This eye cream absorbs into the skin at a fast rate and really helps to plump up any under eye bags or fine lines you might have. I do really love it.
The Skederm Eye Cream has the following ingredients:
1 - It contains antarcticine. Antarcticine is a glycoprotein extracted from the Antarctic Sea. It's highly sought after because it has anti-wrinkle and restructuring properties. A bit of background information on how antarcticine was discovered and where it got it's name goes back to the Antarctic summer of 1988 in which a Spanish expedition went to the Admiralty Bay inlet (located near King George Island in Antarctica). The scientists collected mud samples and wound up managing to isolate and characterize a new bacterial strain called Pseudoalteromonas Antarctica. During its growth, the bacteria created an exopolymer of glycoproteins; an extracellular material that aids the bacteria to retain water, adheres to surfaces and has the ability to withstand the extreme cold.I ts protective function in nature has been applied to cosmetics and skincare products by scientists to protect and regenerate the skin. And there you have it ... your fun fact of the day!
2 - This eye cream also contains pure retinol which is a potent form of synthetic Vitamin A that helps to remove dead skin cells and prevent wrinkles. It brightens the eye orbitals and helps in improving skin elasticity as well as brightening dull skin tones and reduces pore size. Its anti-aging properties make it is a critical component to the success of maintaining one's skin.
