Our eyes, and the thin skin around them, are constantly exposed to environmental aggressors that speed up the ageing process. It should therefore come as no surprise that this especially delicate area can benefit from a powerful product.
If I had to pick just one eye treatment product to use for the rest of my life, it would undoubtedly be the Revitalizing Eye Concentrate by Retrouvé.
This is everything I’m looking for in an eye product – and more. It is ultra-hydrating and lightweight, with a potent formula designed to deliver a high concentration of active ingredients to the eye area.
Retrouvé’s Revitalizing Eye Concentrate is an ultra-luxurious eye-area treatment that enriches and plumps the delicate skin around the eyes. It is imbued with some of the most potent and beneficial ingredients available in topical skincare and is designed to hydrate the skin in the same way it would naturally. The skin surrounding the eyes is one of the first areas of the face to show signs of ageing; Retrouvé’s intensely nourishing balm-concentrate is formulated to protect the under-eye area from damage due to age, sun exposure, dryness and facial gesticulation.
A rich, water-free concentrate, it is masterly formulated with a powerful fusion of results-oriented ingredients that have protective properties and antioxidants that work synergistically to hydrate, minimise fine lines, firm and brighten. Some of the active ingredients include:
- Squalane: Transports the active ingredients into the dermis so they can work efficiently.
- Cholesterol Ester, pharmaceutical-grade: Provides plenty of moisture.
- Antioxidants, including Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate – a form of Vitamin C that is considered the gold standard, as it is highly stable, less irritating than other products, and known for good penetration: Protects against free radicals and stimulates the production of collagen, improves the skin’s tone and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
- Retinyl Palmitate: Once absorbed by the skin, it is converted to retinol and induces increased collagen production and thereby minimises signs of ageing.
- Padina Pavonica: An algae found in the Mediterranean Sea that boosts the skin’s natural production of glycosaminoglycans, or GAGs, necessary for skin strength and elasticity.
- Resveratrol: Helps to prevent damage and repairs the skin from environmental damage.
- Yeast Amino Acids: Help to stimulate the skin’s cellular renewal, soothe skin, and increase oxygen flow to skin cells.
It is free from water, fragrance, parabens, silicone and mineral oil.
Retrouvé’s Revitalizing Eye Concentrate is recommended as an overnight treatment for all skin types that require the ultimate in eye-area hydration.
A super-concentrated blend, only a miniscule amount is required. Use a gentle tapping motion, apply to the freshly cleansed eye area around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with the eyes or eyelids.
Having used Retrouvé’s Revitalizing Eye Concentrate diligently since the beginning of the year, I can honestly say that my under-eye area has never looked better. This miracle-in-a-bottle eye concentrate is by far the best eye treatment out there. Not only does it deliver amazing moisture to the skin of the eye area and diminishes fine lines, puffiness becomes practically non-existent. The price point may initially seem steep, but I have been using the Revitalizing Eye Concentrate nightly for almost eight months and the results are undeniable. I feel that this long-lasting product is truly remarkable and well worth the investment.
It features a luxurious and rich balm-like texture, yet it is light and spreads like a dream. It is absorbed easily and completely into the skin surrounding the eyes, and does not leave any greasy after-feel – it just replenishes the eye area beautifully.
If you are going to splurge on an eye product, then Retrouvé’s incredible Revitalizing Eye Concentrate should be the one upon which to splurge. Immensely impressive, it will change your eye care game.
Beauty visionary Jami Morse Heidegger and her husband, Klaus Heidegger, are the creators of Retrouvé’s exclusive collection of skincare. Initially it was developed for their own personal use. This is a line of skincare products featuring advanced technology and state-of-the-art ingredients in superior concentrations that set a new standard in luxury skincare.
Clinically developed synergies between antioxidants, vitamins and actives are integrated with innovative technologies in order to penetrate the deep layers of the skin, working on cellular repair, nutrient buildup and regeneration. All of their products are made in small batches to ensure craftsmanship, quality and freshness.
Having taken over the skincare line Kiehl’s, from Jami’s father, Aaron Morse, in 1988, she and Klaus turned it into an iconic beauty brand. Jamie, in fact, represents the third generation of her family in the business, with her grandfather, Irving Morse, having acquired the original pharmacy in 1921 after apprenticing with John Kiehl. In 2000, Kiehl’s was sold to L’Oréal.
Today, Retrouvé has garnered a cult following for their transformative skincare products. Every one of Retrouvé’s high-powered, high-performance products is sure to wow.
