I have a thing for eye brightening serum or gel with the rolley-rolley ball bearings. It feels good on my skin and feels like the product would penetrate deep into my skin cells after being massaged in by the metal balls.
Soap & Glory Eye Brightening Moisture Serum ($26)
It is hydrating, but isn’t as effective as the Biotherm Aquasource Eye Perfection.
(I know Ginvera has the ball bearing eye cream/gel/serum too, but I don’t think I will try that. I have the Garnier one, it didn’t work for me.)
This brightening cream has a hint of lavender in it, unlike the Aquasource one which is transluscent. I feel that it is the lavender colour which reduces dullness, like lavender concealer. It will only make eyes brighter temporarily each time after usage.
For about a year now, I have been using Biotherm Aquasource Eye Perfection ($69). At the beginning, it was really effective. My fine lines disappeared and skin around the eye area became more moisturized. But gradually, my eye didn’t look as bright as when I first used it.
Then, I realised that my skin is already immuned to the product. I should constantly remind myself to change my skincare every 3 months.
Lesson learnt. No more going for the rolley-rolley balls. Perhaps using my finger to massage good gel or cream in would be more effective. There are thousands and thousands of skincare product out there in the market, and I don’t believe I won’t find one that works for me.
