Review (4/5): My under eye area is very dry so I love to try a new eye cream
My under eye area is very dry so I love to try a new eye cream. I’m pretty picky about what eye creams I feel work for me and what doesn’t. Admittedly I didn’t research Valentia True Glow Eye Cream before trying it but I had heard of the brand.
Claims: Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Lightens Dark Circles, Depuffs Eye Area, Tightens eye area, Nourishes and Hydrates.
The True Glow Eye Cream includes organic and natural ingredients, is vegan friendly, made in the U.S.A. using sustainable energy and cruelty free.
There are some ingredients that were chosen for the Valentia True Glow Eye Cream that are believed to work together to achieve optimum results. Per Valentia those ingredients are:
– ASTAXANTHIN: A powerful antioxidant that increases moisture levels, smooths fine line and wrinkles, and restores elasticity to the skin.
– RESISTEM: Natural Plant Stem Cells repair and protect the skin from harsh environmental pollutants and stress related aging.
– VITAMIN C: Leaves the skin smooth and visibly brighter for a well-rested and bright eyed look.
– ORGANIC ROSEHIP OIL: Provides intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
– ARNICA: A key anti-inflammatory agent to the restorative process that works to diminish the appearance of dark circles.
The ingredient list is quite lengthy so I have not researched them all. The preservatives are 3 of the last 7 ingredients: Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin and Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Extract.
Valentia True Glow Eye Cream has very nice packaging. The tinted glass container is good because some ingredients degrade over time due to lighting. The pump dispenser keeps the cream protected from air.
The eye cream is a peach color and has a light citrus scent that I find pleasant. The consistency is thicker than I anticipated considering the bottle has a pump. I use the eye cream morning and evening. It absorbs easily and there’s no irritation. My skin feels soft and it works well under makeup. My under-eye circles are courtesy of hereditary so I didn’t expect any changes there (and I didn’t have any). As with any skincare product I recommend taking a photo before you begin to use a new product, use it for 6-8 weeks then look at that photo to see if you notice any difference.
The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because my under eye area is so dry and my skin absorbs this (and most eye creams) like a serum. I still need to use a richer eye cream on top. But when I use this alone it still has nice hydration and I would recommend purchasing this product (I feel that the skin under my eyes is drier than the average person).
I was given the opportunity by Valentia to try this eye cream at no charge for my (honest) opinion so I decided to give it a try. I take product reviews seriously because I understand potential buyers are reading this and I want you to trust all reviews or articles I’ve written.
