Drunk Elephant Shaba Complex Eye Serum

Product Information

We loved its easy-use triple-bead applicator: the trio of stainless steel beads are designed to maximise results by providing a gentle massage at the same time as application. The price point is another great talking point, as it straddles the line between budget and high-end perfectly, and can typically be found even cheaper at Boots than the RRP stated above. Considered a grown-up version of those chalky, kid-friendly sunscreens, the Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense SPF 30 is devoid of any chemicals. Conventional sunscreens can oftentimes be sensitizing, and are overall not beneficial for the skin. The original formula was good, but this new and improved one is great. My eyes didn't suffer from any redness or irritation, and while I can't say for sure if it helps with fine lines (thanks, Botox), I can say it made my skin feel tight and firm and even seemed to reduce puffiness. I especially love putting this on right when I wake up and have found it layers well under makeup. Shoko T, Maharaj VJ, Naidoo D, et al. Anti-aging potential of extracts from Sclerocarya birrea (A.

Ubiquinone: Supplies coenzyme q10, a vital antioxidant that decreases with age and has been shown to reduce the depth of fine lines and wrinkles. We liked how the clear, scent-free serum simply melted into our skin, with the lightweight formula leaving the eye area feeling instantly refreshed. It’s also incredibly straightforward to apply: simply squeeze the dispenser and gently massage in the product. This Drunk Elephant vitamin C eye cream has a rich texture that leaves the eye area feeling hydrated but not heavy or greasy. The formula is pretty impressive with 8 peptides, 5 forms of vitamin C, vitamin E, superoxide dismutase, ubiquinone, and several more antioxidants. There are also soothing ingredients like cucumber and licorice extract, as well as hydrating ingredients like panthenol and hyaluronic acid. The formula truly contains everything your skin needs to stay healthy and youthful. One reviewer even said this Drunk Elephant eye cream “Took a few years off my under eye area”. Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly CleanserHesperidin Methyl Chalcone: A derivative of the bioflavonoid that is found in citrus fruits, this is used for its potential to reduce and soothe inflammation in skin, particularly when used in eye-area formulas.

So rather than choosing ingredients based on whether they are natural or synthetic, the brand chooses ingredients based on their biocompatibility. Biocompatibility means they focus on healthy pH levels, formulations the skin recognizes, small molecular structure that’s easily absorbed, and effective active ingredients that also support and maintain the skin’s acid mantle. As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness. It’s in Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum, along with additional antioxidants like ferulic acid and vitamin E. I may only be in my mid-20s, but retinol has been a mainstay in my skincare routine for about a year, although it wasn’t love at first application. My initial foray into using the ingredient didn’t go very smoothly: I was 23 and dove head first into using a potent 0.5 percent retinol eye serum day and night. To be honest, I hadn’t quite done my homework on the ingredient or its side effects. Within a week, the skin around my eyes looked red, felt itchy, and started to peel. Needless to say, I’ve avoided using retinol near my eyes ever since.

Niacinamide: Aka vitamin B3, niacinamide has a wide range of benefits, most notably its ability to improve signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness) as well as uneven tone and texture.
