Review: Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream
What They Say: "Symptom: Deeper lines, darker circles, more puffiness in under-eye area due to stress-related oxygen and nutrient depletion.
Solution: Icelandic Relief Eye Cream delivers immediate relief to delicate under-eye skin. Puffiness, wrinkles and dark circles are minimized and skin is revived with a blend of soothing nutrients. Rice peptides help counteract the aging effects of stress and optical diffusers help to soften fine lines and brighten the eye area for a refreshed and wide-awake look."
Jen's Experience: Because I don't always get the right amount of sleep, and even when I do, have really dark circles and pretty dry skin under my eyes, I am always on the lookout for a good eye cream. This one, sadly, is not my pick. The texture is somewhat uneven, making it difficult to spread on the eye area. Worse, it doesn't do much for my dark eye circles or the dry skin situation. I have actually had people at work telling me I look tired. (And that's after concealer!) Needless to say, this is not a product I recommend.
Retail Price: $45.00 (SkynIceland.com)
