Paula has often said that eye creams aren’t necessary if you have a quality moisturizer, but some of us love eye creams. So she created an eye cream for those of us who use them. This eye cream is loaded up with pretty fantastic ingredients. Peptides are great because they’re supposed to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Licorice Root is good for anti-aging, as is resveratrol. Shea butter is an amazing moisturizing butter.
I love the packaging beccause it’s simple and effective. It’s a squeeze tube so you can get out an exact amount of product. The eye cream has a thick texture that is ultra hydrating and absorbs pretty quickly into the skin. I apply it by patting it on gently with my ring finger. I’d previously been using the Moisture Boost Cream as an eye cream but it wasn’t moisturizing enough for me.
This eye cream can be used day or night, but I stick to night. If you’re using it during the day make sure you use SPF on top of it. You can also mix in Paula’s Choice Moisture Renewal Oil Booster, Hyaluronic Acid Booster, Josie Maran’s Argan Oil or Cover FX Jasmine or Neroli drops if you want to. All of these have mixed in fine for me.
I really love the texture of this eye cream. While it certainly works well on its own and I used it on its own for the first few weeks, I started experimenting with mixing in some of my favorite skincare drops. I love it both ways. My eyelids are oily, but under the eye area gets dry like the Sahara Desert. So I try to load up on moisture under the eyes. During the day, I can’t use too rich of an eye cream under the eyes or it will travel to my eyelids and make my eyeshadow disappear. So I prefer thick eye creams like this at night.
Overall, I’m happy to see Paula’s Choice release this eye cream and it’s become a staple in my nighttime routine. If you’re looking for a moisturizing eye cream, I definitely think this is one to check out.
What do you think of Paula’s Choice releasing an eye cream?
Good timing, sort of. I just ordered her new eye cream yesterday. I’ve never used an eye cream before (always just used my facial moisturizer), but while my face still seems fine with my current regime, my under-eye area always look dry anymore. I’m really looking forward to trying this!
Can’t wait to hear how it works for you!
Sounds like a good one! Right now I sort of alternate between Andalou Naturals Luminous Eye Serum (has peptides) and 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine eye cream. Then when I’m moisturizing with my mostly Paula’s Choice moisturizer and serum mixture I pat that over the top. For eye primer in the morning I almost alway use CoverFx Anti-Age Smoothing Eye Primer (which does help smooth out creepy eyelids!). But I will keep this in mind next time I’m looking for an eye cream! xo
Sounds like your picks work really well too!
This sounds nice. I’m still looking for a HG eye cream. God knows that area could use some firming. Aging, crepey eyelids suck.
I feel your pain for sure!
I don’t use an eye cream but I suppose I should! I’ll have to give this a try.
You might love it 🙂
The key ingedients are definitely ones that I would like to see in an eye cream.
Yeah I really like the ingredients listed
I love Paula’s Choice though this one is a bit out of my range. I do splurge on her exfoliants because I cannot find a low-cost dupe anywhere.
She often has sales if that helps!
Haha. Yeah I know, I ordered from her today. I don’t know how it happened, but I got 112 dollars worth of products for 32 dollars (a mixture of free stuff and referrals). I think it is nice they give you 10% off for your birthday as well.
The hard part is the timing because you shop too early, you miss amazing deals, but you can’t wait too long or you miss it. I think I hit the nail on the head today, though.
Maybe in the future I’ll get it, but I don’t even use eye creams right now so I’m good. I do like the fact that it has licorice root in it. I’m all about hat liorice root.
