I’ve got 89 problems but my eyes aren’t one. And I have to send all the props to Vichy’s Minéral 89 Eyes.
Considering I’ve been a beauty writer and editor for double-digit years, when I like a product, I fall for it hard. Back in the day I never bothered to slather anything other than my face cream on under my eyes, but after I turned 30 that all changed. Tack on a few more years and I can’t get away without an under eye serum, cream or lotion and this repairing eye booster is golden, working it’s magic on smoothing my crow’s feet into almost oblivion. It also brightens my eye area and if I’m over tired, gives me a more wide-awake look, which I especially appreciate during 4pm meetings.
But that’s just the surface stuff. The formula contains 13 heavy duty ingredients like mineralizing thermal water to hydrate my skin, hyaluronic acid to plump it up, caffeine to drain puffiness and dermo-chlorella to stimulate collagen, while brightening and reducing skin pigmentation. What it doesn’t include are parabens, fragrance, mineral oil, alcohol or colour. It also doesn’t cost a fortune, a good thing in my pocketbook. So go out there and get yours, because we, cough, I, cough, need to have this baby around and on drugstore shelves for a long time.
Vichy Minéral 89 Eyes is $34.95, available online at Shoppers Drug Mart stores.
