Eye creams can be a little polarising. For The Australian Women’s Weekly Lifestyle Director Brooke Le Poer Trench, it’s the product she gets asked about the most. Specifically, are they crucial or just teeny pots of face cream? In Le Poer Trench’s expert opinion, it’s the former. Your eyes are one of the first places to show signs of ageing, so if you’re serious about skincare, an eye cream is a non-negotiable.
Le Poer Trench gets to test beauty products for a living (tough gig, we know) which means she’s tried a lot of eye creams over the years. So when a product piques her interest, we listen. Her latest obsession? Elizabeth Arden’s recently-released Retinol Ceramide Line Erasing Eye Cream.
THE FACTS
#1. Smooths. The formula helps to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
#2. Brightens. Each use helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles.
#3. De-puffs. Expect reduced under-eye puffiness for a more well-rested look.
“The formula has one of my all-time favourite anti-ageing ingredients, retinol, and is packaged to keep the light and air out and the potency in,” she shares. “Thanks to Elizabeth Arden’s Smart Retinol technology, the product is able to absorb five times deeper than standard retinol which makes it incredibly efficient at brightening, de-puffing and smoothing the eye area.”
“Each dose contains an eight-hour continuous delivery of microencapsulated retinol to refine texture around the eye. Meanwhile, the niacinamide and peptide blend helps to firm skin, and improve the tone, while reducing dark circles and puffiness. When I apply in the evening, I wake up looking refreshed.”
After trialing the new formula religiously for the past few weeks, she has some thoughts. Hit play on the video above to hear her full review.
