Benefit it's potent eye cream

Hello!

If you've read my previous posts you will know I am a little obsessed with skin care. 

What I haven't said before is that I am in fact petrified of looking old. I think it's a genuine phobia. 

My skin care obsession started when I was going through acne treatment. I don't know about you but when I am insecure about something I tend to notice that area on other people. As my obsession is skin I am forever looking at and adoring other people's.With living in London and using public transport I have a constant supply of people to look at. What I noticed was that tired eyes really make people look old. 

Botox can help to some degree but it won't get rid of the fine lines under your lash line and it won't do much for crepe eyelids. It can raise the eyebrows and help with the crows feet but I think they can add character. Lines that you get from smiling I think are cute and make you look warm and friendly. Frown lines and tired eyes I am less impressed by. 

With the worry of wrinkles playing on my mind I decided about a year ago that eye cream was something I should start using. 

Disclaimer- I do not have a single wrinkle on my face. I am using anti ageing products as prevention rather than cure. 

At night I use Estée Lauder advance night repair on my eyes. 

However in the day I have been using the benefit it's potent eye cream.

I was given a couple of sample pots last time I went to Debenhams and I have to say so far I'm quite impressed.

As I don't have fine lines I can't comment on that. What I can comment on is the claim of reduced dark circles and promise of brighter eyes. 

It does do both for me. After a late night or a busy week the best of us can sufferer from dark, tired eyes. I've been using this for 6 weeks now along with my Estée Lauder night repair which is been using for 1 year. I no longer suffer from dark circles. As soon as I apply the benefit eye cream even if my eyes feel puffy and tired they instantly feel tighter and more awake. The delicate eye area is moisturised  and my concealer looks better. In the past I have found some eye products leave a film and what ever you put over them either splits or is highlighted neither of which is a good look. This doesn't do this. A little of the product goes a very long way so although it may seem expensive, be assured if used correctly it will last you months. Remember to always apply eye cream with clean fingers and use your ring finger. Be gentle and don't rub or drag the skin.

I am not saying if you already have five lines and wrinkles it will magic them away. It won't. Nor am I saying that those black bags under your eyes from a 3 day drinking sesh will vanish in a swipe of this. They won't. Everything has its limitations. If you are looking for a daily morning eye cream to help reduce dark circles and give you the feeling and appearance of more awake bright eyes then give this a go.
