Himalaya Herbals Under Eye Cream Review

By Simran

Hello everyone!

I believe, eye creams should be a mandatory part of every girl’s skin care routine.  The skin around the eyes is more fragile, more prone to dryness, and quicker to show age and fatigue.

Squinting and constant movement of the eyes also hasten the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and fluids collect under the eyes and cause puffiness and dark circles. Eye creams can address some of these issues.

Eye creams are formulated specifically for the delicate skin around the eye, so they tend to be thicker. They contain more oil than a regular facial lotion, and they have a lot of active ingredients aimed at the problems we see around the eyes.

So, today I will be reviewing my trusted eye cream which I have been using for more than 2 years; The Himalaya under eye cream.

Claims: Himalaya Under Eye Cream clears under eye circles, pigmentation and blemishes. It also brightens and smoothens the areas around your eyes reduces dark circles by 80 percent in just 4 weeks, reduces under eye wrinkles and fine lines by 28 percent in just 4 weeks, brightens and smoothens eye contour.

Ingredients:

How the cream works: This under-eye cream comes with breakthrough herbal ingredients of Bergenia Ligulata and Cipadessa Baccifera, which actively fight against the appearance of dark circles and shield the sensitive skin around your eyes from harsh sunlight. Your skin must be free of toxins and be moisturised to sustain a healthier look without wrinkles and fine lines. Himalaya Eye Cream detoxifies and moisturises your skin, thereby rejuvenating your eyes. Consistent use of this cream can make your eyes stay wrinkle free and youthful.

Price: INR 165 for 15ml (Buy HERE)

Packaging: The product comes in a simple tube form which makes the handling of the product easier. You can directly apply the product on your under eye area from the tube. The packaging is not anything fancy but very sturdy.

My take on the product: The reason that I have been using the product for more than 2 years is enough to say that the product is amazing. The texture of the cream is light so it won't feel heavy underneath your eyes.

My eyelid area used to feel dry but after using this cream, the problem was solved. I never used eye creams until I started seeing some puffiness around my eyes. The product targets the puffiness and fine lines around your eyes and it takes about 30-45 days for your under eye issues to vanish.

I never suffered from dark circles but my mother did, and after about 2 months of the using the product continuously, her dark circles almost vanished. You can see visible results in about a week of using the product. You only need a little amount of the product so, one tube will last you a very long time. It lasts me for about 3-4 months.

Pros:

-decently priced

-sticks to its claims

-light texture & easily absorbed

– convenient packaging

Cons:

– has parabens

Rating: 4/5

If you’re searching for an affordable eye cream which actually works on dark circles or fine lines, you should absolutely give this cream a try.

Editor’s Note: This sounds pretty good Simran

Lancôme Launches Teint Visionnaire and Visionnaire Yeux

TEINT VISIONNAIRE

New vision of high perfection: Beyond complexion perfection, to skin perfection
Today, women’s demands go beyond instant make-up results alone. Women are also seeking products to be able to visibly improve skin quality.

Ever attentive to their expectations, Lancôme invents the first ever ultra-perfecting foundation that creates an instantly flawless complexion whilst visibly transforming skin within 4 weeks. Teint Visionnaire: a synergy of science and expertise from Lancôme’s make-up experts.

For the first time, two complementary expert steps are blended in a single product, to reconcile perfect coverage and a natural, no-compromise result available in 12 shades of tone-to-tone corrector + perfecting foundation.

Step 1: Targeted high-coverage corrector
The lid compartment contains an easy-to-work corrector enriched with vitamin CG, known for its brightening action. Apply locally to instantly correct dark spots, under-eye circles and any other imperfections. This high-coverage texture need only be applied to areas in need of correction.

Step 2: Complexion perfecting foundation
For a perfect complexion with a natural finish over the entire face, this fluid flawlessly harmonises the complexion whilst remaining extremely light for a fine, weightless make-up result. It evens out skin without accentuating pores, wrinkles or fine lines. Enriched with [LR 2412], the “perfect skin” molecule, it works day after day to smooth wrinkles and refine pores, recreating truly beautiful skin.

Two fundamental products with two complementary textures, for the ideal balance between high coverage and a natural finish, as well as between make-up and skincare.

Groundbreaking dual benefits: instantly, 100% perfect complexion and visibly improved skin quality, day after day.

1- EXPERTISE: FOUNDATION/CORRECTOR

Teint Visionnaire offers two expert tone-to-tone textures to reconcile optimum correction with a natural finish:

• High-coverage local texture
Its creamy texture hugs skin, melting in perfectly to soften dark spots, under-eye circles, redness and imperfections. Apply in a targeted manner using the fingertip or a concealer brush for coverage and hold in perfect harmony with skin.

• Natural uniformity all-over texture
Fine and light, this fluid formula offers the uniformity of a foundation empowered by the perfecting power of skincare. With its groundbreaking architecture, this formula instantly evens out and corrects the complexion without ever emphasising wrinkles or pores.

Focus on formulation feats

The formulation secret behind the Teint Visionnaire corrector lies in the subtle balance of its various components. The corrector formula unites flawless coverage and long-wear hold with an incredibly refined texture:

1. A blend of polar oils and transparent polymers
Traditionally used in lipstick formulas to enhance and reveal their pigments, the polar oils have the unique quality of improving pigment dispersal for ultra-uniform coverage. They are combined with transparent polymers which provide adhesion in line with the desired make-up result.

2. A groundbreaking fillers duo for unrivalled refinement
The secret behind the corrector’s feather-light feel lies in the association of 2 complementary fillers: lamellar fillers for greater uniformity and coverage and incredibly light spherical fillers, ensuring the formula’s lightness and refinement.
This unique corrector with ultimate long-wear hold is designed to layer flawlessly beneath the fluid perfecting foundation.

At the heart of Teint Visionnaire’s perfecting foundation, two formulation innovations offering natural flawless coverage:

1. V-Pigments Complex
A micronized pigment complex so refined it guarantees a uniform, build-up-free make-up result. An innovative technique offering optimum coverage without accentuating flaws.

2. V-Oil Complex
The secret behind the perfecting foundation formula: a meticulously selected blend of oils with complementary actions for improved skin hold and regular pigment dispersal. The make-up film perfectly hugs skin’s surface for supreme comfort: it masks both pores and wrinkles without ever drawing attention to them. Coverage is flawless yet feather-light.
9 tone-to-tone fluids – 9 targeted correctors

Teint Visionnare had to rise to a further challenge: finding the perfect match between the corrector shades (available in 9 shades versus the usual three) and those of the fluid for a tone-to-tone make-up result. A formidable feat for two textures with different formulas spanning a rich palette of 9 shades.

9 duos devised and developed to suit women across the globe, whatever their skin colour: a universal promise at the heart of the Lancôme brand since the “Women of Color” adventure began. Our Laboratories carried out a study on 6,000 complexions across the world representing the different skin tone colours of women from over 21 countries. Result: 9 judiciously crafted and ideally balanced shades, perfectly suited to the specific needs of women of every colour.

2- PERFECTING SKIN, DAY AFTER DAY

A flawless complexion is essential for a perfect skin. That’s why Teint Visionnaire offers an instantly perfect complexion, but also enhances skin’s beauty from 4 weeks.

Unique skincare efficacy
Incorporated within a fluid SPF 20 formula, the prodigious [LR 2412] molecule offers skin all the efficacy* of a “dermo-cosmetic” active ingredient. Acting on 12 age markers, it evenly sinks into the skin. Fine lines, pores and irregularities are visibly corrected.
Skin is triggered to recreate brand new skin substance.
The targeted high-coverage corrector from Teint Visionnaire contains a stable form of vitamin C – vitamin CG – known for its activity on brightening dark spot. This corrector is thus more than a mere concealer as it instantly camouflages dark spots, under-eye circles and skin-pigment irregularities.

Skin is genuinely transformed in 4 weeks
Day after day, Teint Visionnaire visibly metamorphoses skin, improving its quality. After 4 weeks, on bare skin, imperfections, dark spots and wrinkles are corrected**, revealing skin that is perfectly smooth, even and infused with light. Skin is truly transformed.

A technological feat: [LR 2412]
[LR 2412] is a molecule derived from jasmonic acid, a plant-derived molecule that activates skin’s defences and healing. 10 years of research were needed for our Laboratories to develop [LR 2412], today protected by 20 patents. What makes it so unique? Its ability for “auto-diffusion”, triggering a cascade of micro-transformations within the skin.

Visionnaire Yeux

Muvazi Renewal Skin Care Set Review

About Muvazi: With over 21,500,000 million results found when “Anti Aging Skin Care” is entered into Google you might just be confused as to how you sort through all of the entries to find the one product line that delivers results for you.

Confucius says “The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.”

We agree with Confucius here. M U V A Z I has built results into our skin care, and then we doubled it!

Understanding what is right is a great start in reinventing skin care and how it meets the expectations of its customers. Let’s take Oat Beta Glucan for instance, studies have been done on its effectiveness in treating fine lines and wrinkles and was tested at ½ %, we liked the studies and doubled it. M U V A Z I starts with 1% Oat beta Glucan.

Once again returning to understanding what is right instead of what sells, skin care lines use 1% – 3% of a 1% solution in a formulation.
M U V A Z I likes to take results and double them as a minimum.

We don’t want to give away all of our proprietary information here as this would not be wise, but sufficed to say that M U V A Z I uses more Oat Beta Glucan in our Hydrating Face Serum than any one!

What does this mean for you potentially? It means that we have formulated for what is right, not just what will sell, understanding that what is right will ultimately sell.

WHY CHOOSE M U V A Z I ?

This serum also comes with a dispensor but a normal one..its a runny thin lotion..which is to be dabbed on the skin..it is indeed very hydrating apt to its name..I did not feel any dryness on the skin..since I started using it..along with the other products in the set though…it feels a little slick..but gets absorbed in a few minutes..

Though mine is combination skin and this is supposed to be hydrating..its not the typical creamy serum..meant for dry skin..and suits my skin well..without leaving it greasy and gets absorbed completely..This too would suit all skin types..and even this is paraben free..in fact all the products from Muvazi are paraben free.

Now the ingredients list is a little big in this..its an off white colored thick cream..not completely water based..takes a little time to absorb..it does seal in the moisture..and keeps skin hydrated even in harsh winters..I am not sure about the wrinkles claim since I am way too young for them..but the testimonials I read..do say that this worked for them..Cannot comment on that..but worked for me in winters..it would be a little thick for me in summers..but I can always use the four steps at night time..

Step 4: Oxygenic Eye Cream

What the Company claims: This eye cream virtually defies gravity as it lifts and firms skin around the eyes. It brightens and hydrates, building a cushion of density into time-thinned skin while it helps to erase the look of lines. You will feel this one working.

And the last step..the eye cream..you need just a little quantity and can dab it with your ring finger around the eye area including the crow’s feet. I do not know why there are silicones in the ingredients..but the eye cream does feel good in the delicate under eye cream..the skin there does feel hydrated and good..this is not something that would help you with dark circles..its not meant for that..but for moisturising the under eye area and the area around it..and it exactly does that ! I quite liked it..

The whole set has main ingredient as Oat Beta Glucan which is their trademark ingredient..and they have used this in all their products…targeting aging skin…I cannot claim about wrinkles..but I am using it from more than a month..and skin is surely softer,smoother and feels plumper and hydrated.

MRP: 7.25£ for 5ml and £13.75 for 10ml

It comes in a small tube form with a very small nozzle tip..which I think is nice..coz one gets the exact amount as required. Its a white colored lotion and has some light reflective particles which brighten the under eye area.

It keeps the skin moisturised and hydrated the whole day without leaving any greasiness…it brightens the under eyes considerably. I do not have puffy eyes but it has helped many in that too. Its has won many Beauty Awards and rightly so..

Pros:

1. Perfect tube packaging with a small nozzle.
2. Its travel friendly.
3. Has borage oil, beta carotene, Vitamin E and other ingredients which provide decent hydration to the under eye skin.
4. Keeps under eyes hydrated the whole day…and you would not feel any greasiness with it.
5. It does brighten the skin..with its light reflective particles and with daily use too.
6. Not overtly expensive..it can easily be compared to high end brands in quality.
7. Since its so light in texture..it can easily be used under a concealer.
8. Has sunscreen too…but SPF 10.

Cons:

1. It has to be used regularly..once you stop using..the effect goes away slowly.
2. Only available online. You can buy it here
3. It would not conceal as it claims..just brighten the under eyes more.

Overall I quite loved this under eye daily eye repair cream..but the only qualm is its to be used regularly..but that I guess I have noticed with most of the under eye creams..once you stop using it completely..it comes back to normal..so I do not blame this for that.

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.
