I love shopping! However, not all shopping places are the same, don’t you think so?
As for Target, it has a great selection of products, a nice atmosphere, a wonderful shopping experience and prices are competitive. I do not know anyone who complained about his or her shopping experience at Target.
Talking about shopping, I feel that my skin tends to be more of normal to dry in winter (though I have combination skin). That is why I always switch my skincare products in winter and buy a creme instead of a lotion as I do in summer.
In a previous post, I mentioned that I started using derma e Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate Crème almost two months ago. Since then, I became curious about derma e products, especially that I loved this anti-aging crème.
And since I ran out of my eye crème, I was curious about how good would derma e eye crème be.
So, when I had the chance to try out the derma e Firming DMAE Eye Lift crème, I was very happy to give it a try.
In addition to the Firming DMAE Eye Lift, I received a deluxe sample size of the Hydrating Night crème, and samples of Hydrating Day crème and the Firming DMAE moisturizer.
(Though this is a review for the eye crème, I should mention that I liked all of them).
I have been using them for 14 days now, and this is what I found out…
derma e® is a family owned company based in California. By starting derma e®, they pushed skincare forward in a new direction by fusing powerful vitamins and plants together with modern science – we called it Green Chemistry. derma e® built a passionate following in the natural products industry and beyond, always aspiring to make highly effective, premium skincare formulas but with cruelty-free green chemistry.
derma e says that the ” Firming DMAE Eye Lift visibly lift, firm and tighten the delicate eye area while smoothing crow’s feet with this doctor-developed, multi-action eye treatment crème that contains advanced, clinically proven natural ingredients. ”
Science behind Firming DMAE Eye Lift crème:
- DMAE, a widely acclaimed skin-firming nutrient, is clinically proven to boost collagen for firmer skin.
- InstaLift® Goji Berry glycopeptides have the power for firming, lifting and tightening antioxidant power.
- Advanced peptides Argireline® and Matrixyl® synthe’6® soften facial muscles helping smooth wrinkles and discourage new lines from forming.
- Hyaluronic Acid helps the skin around the eyes stay moisturized.
Full list of ingredients:
Purified Water (Aqua), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Coco-Caprylate, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Propanediol (Zemea®), Lycium Barbarum (Instalift® Goji) Fruit Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Diheptyl Succinate, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Dimethyl MEA (DMAE), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl® synthe’6®), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline®), Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid; Actimoist®Bio-1), Thioctic (Alpha-Lipoic) Acid, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C, Stay-C® 50), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil* (.1%), Caffeine, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
As I mentioned before, I have been using the eye crème for 14 days, twice a day, along with the other samples.
My skin around my eyes was quite dry, with fine lines under my eyes. Thankfully, my fine lines are not very deep and mostly visible when I smile.
When applying a small amount around the eye area, make sure to use light pressure, using your ring finger, and apply to the entire orbital area.
After 10 days…
I noticed after about 10 days that my under eyes skin is smoother, and never dry (thanks to hyaluronic acid). The crème is somehow thick, but it spreads easily and my skin absorbs it quickly. I should mention that my fine lines are still there, but somewhat less deep.
You know, fine lines and wrinkles will not disappear in just a few days, but keeping your skin well moisturized will make them less visible, and by regular use, DMAE along with the peptides are supposed to stimulate the formation of new collagen, which in return will make your skin firmer.
As for a beauty blogger who has the chance to try out many skincare products, I can tell that Firming DMAE Eye Lift works. And for $17.49 I believe it is a great deal.
I should also mention that my husband noticed that I have brighter looking eyes, and like I had enough sleep though I rarely sleep early these days. I know I should sleep earlier, but this crème helps me get fresh looking eyes, even without makeup!
In addition, it is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten-free, GMO-free.
#NOTICETHELOTUS at Target starting January 2016, and do not miss the derma e has arrived deals!
Since it is getting colder and colder, I guess it is time to prepare my winter beauty shopping list. What about you? 🙂
