The delicate skin around the eye area deserves special attention and requires a specific cream that is lighter than your moisturiser but just as hydrating and effective. So which organic eye cream to try? When I heard Giselle Bundchen recently singled out Dr. Alkaitis' Organic Eye Cream (January, InStyle) as a favourite product, I figured it was time to try the line of 'living' skincare' products and see what all the buzz was about.
The 'certified organic, biodynamic and ethically wild-crafted ingredients' used in their raw state' create products that are so pure and natural, they are edible (but stick to using it on the skin). Research scientist, Dr Alkaitis believes 'if you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin'. I concur doctor. I only want the purest of ingredients on my skin and that is solely what you will find in the 'living' skincare range from Dr Alkaitis.
Dr Alkaitis' Organic Eye Cream has an aloe vera gel base which soothes, hydrates and refreshes the eye area and there is also wonderful exotic and nutritious ingredients from the unique 'herbal eye renewal complex' and 'eye rejuvenation support complex' such as wild rose buds, linden blossom, green tea, natural vitamin A, C and full spectrum E.
Review
Application: Apply a small amount underneath the eye area and on the lids remembering to gently tap the cream into the skin, rather than dragging the delicate eye area.
Feel on skin: Literally feels like organic gourmet food for the skin. It hydrates and absorbs quickly.
Scent: Fresh and botanical, like walking into the Eden Project
Skin types: All ('due to living complexity of the formulations' they will adjust 'to each individuals unique skin type' and bring the 'skin into balance'.)
Results: My mother saw visible improvements and reduction in eye 'puffiness' (technical talk) and is now refusing to use anything else. My late twenties skin felt hydrated and I liked how it worked well as a base for concealer. Sometimes eye creams can make your concealer look cakey or clumpy but this cream is the perfect base for achieving a smooth and natural make up look.
Value for money: I'm the kind of girl that doesn't part with £38.20 (to be precise) for an eye cream unless it's worth it. As I don't have time (or the ability) to research, source and concoct incredible batches of eye cream in my little London flat, I am willing to invest (that makes it sound better doesn't it?) in quality products for the eye area.
Who would like it? Those who love luxury products or extremely pure products. Women in their twenties and upwards who want to look after the delicate skin around the eyes.
Would I buy it again? I would buy this eye cream again because the ingredients are organic and 'living' and my skin looks and feels good. If this price range is an option for you, I would seriously go and get all the 9 Dr Alkaitis products pronto. If this a little too pricey for some, perhaps consider investing in the Dr Alkaitis moisturiser and eye cream.
Score: 10/10
