My Opinion:

 

I was out of eye serum, didn't knew what to try next so I went to Watsons and asked the lady for a recommendation, I was told that this was being discounted and that alot of customers came to stock up.

 

Honestly I wasn't sure if I wanted this, because as I've mentioned on my previos article, when it comes to eye care I always opt for high end products, but the sales lady was really nice, and since I've asked for her recommendation it would appear rude not to take on her recomendation.... (Remind me not to ask for recomendations again...)

 

Anyway, back home when I've opened the product I've instantly disliked the packaging, the bottle was just too bulky.

 

I've been using this for nearly a month, and noticed that it only provides minimum hydration, and my undereye area has been dryer than usual, I've been using a richer eyecream on top of this to balance it out.

 

I think this would work for a teenager, but definetly not for me or someone with really dry undereye area, I'll try to finish this, but won't be repurchasing.

Ingredients: Aqua, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Saccharomyces Cereviae Extract, Isodecyl Neopentandate, Butyrospermum Park II, Trisiloxane, Artemia Extract, Saccharide Isomerate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methylsilanol Hydroxyproline Aspartate, Sodium Acrylate, Sodium Acryloydimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Sodium Palmitoyl Proline, Brassica Napus Extract, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine, Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Pueraria Lobata Symbiosome Extract, Palmaria Palmata Extract, Allantoin, Ascorbyl Glocoside, Dimethicone/ Bis-Isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer, Isohexadecane, Dirpopylene Glycol, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 80, Butylene Glycol, Tromethamine, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Salicylic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea.

 

My Opinion:

 

I've never been a huge fan of Ultima II, because I found their sales lady too aggressive, but after trying out several products from this brand, I'd actually kind of like their products.

 

This eye essence was actually a free gift with purchase, and since you could almost always score a free gift after spending a determined amount of money, their product aren't really that expensive, and their gifts are not sample size, they are actually full size product.

 

Back to this serum, although it has a creamy texture, it's actually very light and it gets absorbed almost instantly, it hydrates my undereye area without feeling heavy. But it does nothing in terms of whitening, my circles are still intact. I would recommend this product if you are only looking for hydration otherwise look elsewhere.

It's Skin Prestige Serum D'Escargot

Contents:
Face Serum: 40ml
Eye Serum: 15ml
Price: HK$250.00
Local of Purchase: Moms & Moms

According to the package:

This special set contains a face serum and eye serum which promote anti-aging and restoring skin care benefits to your skin. Contains Musin essence that extracted from snail mucus, an ingredient with superior cell restoration, hydration and nourishment effects for improving various skin problems. These serums soften, hydrate and smooth out rough skin texture and fine lines on face and eye areas. It also contains EGF (epidermal growth factor) which helps to rejuvenate damaged and mature skin for young, supple and dewy appearance.

Snail is known to protect itself by recovering scars or cuts in short period of time. Its' repairing function inspires a Korean skin care brand - It's Skin, to produce a series of D'escargot products which are suitable for most skin types.

My Opinion:

 

I've started using this set around fall, and I've nearly finished it. Honestly, for something so inexpensive I was really impressed with the results and I'm definetly going to try out other products from this brand.

 

The face serum has a jelly texture that leaves your skin really smooth, and I've noticed that this would be great for someone with sensitive and acne prone skin, because my skin always gets irritated during fall/winter and this serum has definetly calm it down. Please note that the face serum is heavily scented, but it did not irritate my skin.

 

The eye serum has a cream texture and it has really hydrated my under eye area without causing any millia, definetly comparable to the some high end serums that I've tried before.

My Opinion:

 

I got this because I remember liking the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Advanced Time Complex Capsules and since Sasa always has a bunch of value sets on Elizabeth Arden's products around X'mas....

I'm about half way down my first bottle and ready to review. This is basically an oil that dries fairly fast and leaves your skin really smooth. One capsules would be more than enough for both eyes, so I've been using it on my face as well. Apart from leaving my undereye area really smooth, I didn't really notice any improvement on my undereye skin texture, and I've noticed that you have to top it with an eye cream, otherwise my under eye area would still look dry.

I'm not sure if I'm right, but I got the impression that this product is only sitting on top of my skin and is not really penetrating into my skin, overall, I didn't really notice any permanent improvement on my skin texture. Final verdict, I'll try to finish my set but won't repurchase.

I'm a milia banisher

Contents: 0.17 fl oz/ 5ml
Price: HK$330
Local of Purchase: SASA

According to cellnique.com:

 

Don't let milia and dryness take over your eyes. Banish milia with 13 plant extracts that act as powerful anti-oxidants by protecting delicate skin against your daily adventures in an urban polluted environment. Formulated with Retinyl Palmitate, it encourages the turnover of new skin cells that help remove milia. Banish your eye problems by giving your eyes an easy alternative to painful removal and a complex protection against aging signs and dryness.

For dry to very dehydrated skin

Benefits:

• Removes milia
• Heightens the skin cell renewal process

 

My Opinion:

I must have mentioned before that I have really dry undereye area that is easily prone to milia. It's been really hard for me to find something that's rich enough for my undereye area that won't clog pores.

 

I had this milia on my eyelid that's been really irritating me, so when I saw this at SASA I got it straight away. I've been applying it on my eyelid for 3 consecutive days and on the 3rd day I've noticed that the milia was gone.

 

Since I've such a success with this product, I've been applying it twice everyday on my undereye area, and after 1 week my undereye area was super dry and irritated. Well I guess this was just too harsh for daily use, I've tried reducing application to once a day and it was still irritating.

 

After some trial and error, I've concluded that this product shouldn't be used all over your orbital area but only as a spot treatment.

La Prairie Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex

Contents: 15ml (0.5 fl oz)
Price: HKD741.00

According to the package:

This intensive, highly effective gel from of treatment for the delicate eye area provides visible results in tone, texture and firmness. The appearance of fine, dry lines are immediately dramatically minimized as it helps prevent the feeling of under-eye puffiness. This ultra gentle treatment provides effective day and night care.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Lactose, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panthenol, Glycerin, Algae Extract, Glycoproteins, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Fructose, Polyquaternium-11, Allantoin, Sodium Hydroxide, Carbomer, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Saccharide Isomerate, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Yeast (Faex) Extract, Caviar Extract, Aleuritic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben.

My Opinion:

This is a really good eye serum that hydrates your undereye area, and if you have visible dry lines, it'll get rid of it instantly (note: it will only get rid of dry lines, not wrinkles).

Although this product might sound expensive, you only need one drop for both eyes. I've been using it of about a month and only 1/4 of the bottle is gone.

As much as I like this serum, I'd still prefer Ultima II over it, because apart from hydration, Ultima II does significantly lighten my circles. I've noticed my circles getting worst as I've switch to La Prairie.

容量： 15ml (0.5 fl oz)

價錢： HKD741.00

根據產品說明：
這款深層，　高效的啫喱狀眼部精華，特別適合脆弱的眼週肌膚，能明顯改善眼部肌膚，膚質和緊實度，即時淡化細紋和乾紋，并預防眼部浮現現象。性質亦非常溫和，能日夜肌膚提供卓越的眼部護理。

我的意見：
這是一支非常之保濕的眼部精華，如果你眼周有乾紋，這真的能令它們消失（注：只會令乾紋消失，皺紋不會消失的）。

這個產品價錢好像有點貴，但每次小妹只需一滴就足夠兩隻眼，所以用了差不多一個月亦只用了1/4瓶。

雖然覺得這個眼部精華不錯，但還是比較喜歡Ultima II，因為自轉了用La Prairie後小妹發現我個黑眼圈深了很多。

Garnier Aqua Defense Hydrating Eye Roll-On

Contents: 15ml

Price: HK99.00

According to Garnier's webpage:

Product Information:

Garnier Youthful Radiance Caffeine Eye Roll-On is an innovative anti-dark circles and anti-puffiness eye treatment enriched with caffeine and grape anti-oxidants for an instant refreshing effect.

Garnier Youthful Radiance Caffeine Eye Roll-On combines an ultra refreshing massaging roller-ball with the stimulating effects of caffeine to eliminate the appearance of puffiness from tired eyes. The hydrating gel formula also contains grape anti-oxidants to visibly reduce dark-circles and help restore natural radiance to the eye contour area.

Dermatologically tested.

Ophthalmologically tested.

Results:

Day after day, Garnier Youthful Radiance Caffeine Eye Roll-On’s massaging action and natural active ingredients help boost micro-circulation and encourage drainage to reduce the appearance of dark-circles and puffiness.

Visible action, proven effectiveness:

• Instant freshness that relieves the congested appearance of tired, fatigued eyes
• With daily use, the appearance of dark circles and puffiness is visibly reduced*

Ingredients: Aqua, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Aluminum hydroxide, Biosaccharide Gum-1, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Caffeine, Caprylyl Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Escin, Guanosine, Hydroxyproline, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Laureth-7, Methylparaben, Mica, Panthenol, Polyacrylamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Gum.

My Opinion:

This product is commonly known as the garnier eye roller, but while I was researching for this product I've found that it actually has several different names around the world:

• In the US is call Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller
• In the UK is call Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine Eye Roll-On
• In Australia is call Garnier Youth Radiance Caffeine Eye Roll-On
• In HK is call Garnier Aqua Defense Hydrating Eye Roll-On

I'm not sure if they all have the same ingredients, but the ingredients list above is for the HK version.

I've been using this product for over 2 weeks and didn't notice any difference on my undereye area (at least it didn't get worst). When I've initially started to use this, I've noticed a warmth on my undereye area after application, but this feeling was gone after using it for about a week.

I believe that this warmth is suppose to accelarate the blood circulation under your eyes, and by doing so, it was suppose to diminish eye puff, but since I do not have any eye bags (only dark circles), I didn't really notice any improvement on my undereye area.

根據卡尼爾的網頁：

水潤凝護系列 - 密集保濕 Aqua Defense ——持久鎖水保濕 阻擋外界侵襲

卡尼爾水潤凝護多效眼部走珠精華露

• 產品詳情

卡尼爾水潤凝護多效眼部走珠精華露，含咖啡因及維他命原B5，其獨特按摩走珠設計，將按摩技術與咖啡因成分完美結合，達到專業級的護理，更有效舒緩眼袋，改善黑眼圈，滋潤眼周肌膚。

成分 / 容量

成份：咖啡因具有啟動能量，緩解疲勞作用，配以按摩方式，有顯著的促進血液微迴圈的功效。同時配以維他命原B5，能夠充分滋潤眼周肌膚。
容量：15ml

我的意見：

已用了這支走珠精華筆兩星期，初時用發現眼部皮膚會發熱，但用了約一個星期後就再沒有這個感覺。我相信發熱的原理是為了加速眼部的血液循環，這樣就不會再有眼袋，但由於小妹並沒有眼袋（只有黑眼圈）所以用後並沒有發現眼部皮膚有任何改善。

Directions for Use

Daily Collagen Eye Care Regiment

Extraordinaire Supreme Pure Collagen Eye Contour Reconstructing Serum offers intensive daily care and protection to the delicate eye area. It helps to solve skin-problems around eye areas and helps to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, eyes bags and evens out skin tone.

Carefully apply a small amout of the eye serum (approximately 5 drops) onto each of the cleansed eye area. Gently smooth the collagen concentrate with your fingertips to ensure even application. Use every morning and night. Follow with regular Ultima II day or night care products.

Intensive Collagen Eye Treatment

The combination of Eye Contour Reconstructing Serum and Eye Contour Reconstructing masks is an intensive collagen treatmenr for the fatigue and dull skin due to changes of season, stress or lifestyle. This is an ideal treatment before important meetings, wedding or other special occasions when you want immediated results. The eye area that looks tired and dry recovers its healthy radiance and youthful vitality.

1. Carefully apply a small amount of the eye serum (aproximately 5 drops) onto each of the cleansed eye area. Gently smooth with your finger to ensure even appllication, wipe fingers clean.
2. With the eye pads still in their container, evenly applu 10 to 15 drops of the eye serum to each pad. Gently remove from container and orient, under eye and over crows feet.
3. Smooth the pads over the eye area. Re-apply suitable amount of eye serum to the pads. Leave pads on for 15-20 minutes. Pads will shrink as they deliver moisture and treatment to eye area.
4. Gently lift off the pads and lightly tap skin around eyes with fingers until the remaining serum is completely absorbed. Use once daily.

*Use each pair of eye pads with approximately half vial of eye serum

My Opinion:

I've only used this as a daily serum, never tried the intensive treatment (too expensive). I usually need 2 drops for each eye and a vial will last me slightly more than a month.

Although I had a really bad experience while shopping for this product, the product itself was really good and I've really enjoyed using it. After using it for about a week, I've noticed that my undereye area was really hydrated and alot smoother. My under eye area can easily develop milia, but i did not have any trouble with this product. Now my only problem is how to repurchase it, because I've sworn that I would not go near a ULTIMA II counter ever again, does anyone knows if I could get this online?

根據產品說明：

ULTIMA II EXTRAORDINAIRE SUPREME純膠原蛋白眼部再生昇華組合

90%高純度／珍貴非凡的深海膠原蛋白力量

重建眼周膠原蛋白網絡活現緊緻／無紋的眼部肌膚

過去30年來，ULTIMA II研究中心一直致力研發及改良膠原蛋白科技，領導膠原蛋白科技領域的發展，堪膠原蛋白專家。

早在1980年，ULTIMA II己率先利用水解科技，將100%純穩定性膠原蛋白應用於護膚產品之中。自此，ULTIMA II一直致力研發提煉出更先進有效的膠原蛋白，能深入滲透至肌膚底層，真正改善膚質。最新的EXTRAORDINAIRE SUPREME純膠原蛋白系列，萃取自珍貴的深海膠原蛋白，配合尖端科技，提煉至極高濃度，能有效提昇皮膚中膠原蛋白的質／量。創出膠原蛋白科技的新突破。

追蹤眼部肌膚出現老化的根源

眼眶四周的皮膚厚度是人體薄處，僅0.5毫米，只得臉部皮膚厚度的１/3，是最容易衰老／最需要悉心保養的部位。眼部皺紋及其他老化徵象產生的最初根源在於真皮層失去由膠原蛋白建構而成的網狀支撐力。

25歲以後，真皮層中的膠原蛋白逐漸劣化和減少，其再生與修復機能亦開始衰老。膠原網絡變細變脆，甚至斷裂，導致眼下第一道皺紋的出現，眼周肌膚亦逐漸失去緊緻和彈性。膠原蛋白質／量的衰退更會削弱皮膚的抓力，加速眼部乾紋／細紋的形成。膠原網絡的進一步鬆跨，就會產生眼袋及眼皮下垂的情況，亦會深化因營養及供血不足而產生的黑眼圈。

想截停這種連鎖式的改變，就必須加強膠原蛋白的質／量，一方面為皮膚提供新生的膠原蛋白，另一方面，更要改善膠原蛋白自我更生及修護的機能，令皮層維持在最佳狀態，重現緊緻／無紋的眼部肌膚。

今天，ULTIMA II研究中心為妳帶來了專門針對幼嫩眼周肌膚而創研的EXTRAORDINAIRE SUPRENME純膠原蛋白眼部再生昇華組合，全效修護眼周的七大問題－－細紋／皺紋／失去緊實／失去彈性／浮腫／黑眼圈和乾燥。透過90%高純度／源自深海的珍貴膠原蛋白，揉合多種以尖端科技研製／極具顯著功效的成分分，全面重建眼周膠原網絡，即時集中淡化乾紋，有功助消減眼袋及均勻膚色，讓眼周肌膚回復緊緻飽滿。

功能：

• 萃取自極稀有／珍貴的深海角鯊，以高科技提煉至極高濃度(90%)的純海洋膠原蛋白，即時為眼周肌膚補充純／淨的膠原蛋白－－相對於其他類型的膠原蛋白，能更容易深入滲透至真皮層，且吸收速度更快，大量補充天然流失的膠原蛋白，使眼部的膠原蛋白纖維更穩定兼具凝聚力，眼周肌膚變得盈潤緊緻而富彈性。
• 尖端科研成分－－TRYLAGEN，足以發揮三合一膠原蛋白力量：透過促進膠原蛋白合成／鞏固膠原蛋白結構及防止膠原蛋白分解，全面提昇肌膚中膠原蛋白的質／量，能減淡幼紋，令眼周肌膚緊緻度大為提昇；重建眼周膠原蛋白網絡，締造出肌理細緻／富彈性光澤的眼周肌膚。
• 專利複合元素HALOXYL從兩方面改善黑眼圈的問題：i）可刺激UGT A酵素製造，有助減少紅血球分解物，並移除堆積在眼周的膽紅質，從而解決因黑色素沈積物所造成的黑眼圈；ii）有效增加鐵分子的可溶解性，從而減少導致黑眼圈的鐵質代謝物，活化微血管擴張功能，減少因血液循環不良而引起的黒眼圈問題。
• Eyeseryl由六角縮氨酸（蛋白鏈）合成，改善因細胞醣化(protein glycation)所引起的眼部肌膚問題，如幼紋／眼周黯沈／黑眼圈／浮腫及眼袋等。同時能增進微血管迴流，令眼部的浮腫消失於無形。
• AMC 全能高效補水因子和Lipidure銷水因子能瞬間為皮膚補充大量水分，有效防止水分流失，並具持久滋潤效果，更能提升眼周肌膚的抓水力，有效地撫平因乾燥而形成的乾紋／細紋。

建議：

使用數天後，即可見到肌膚明顯改善；但如欲達致最理想的修護效果，建議完成２８天純膠原蛋白眼部再生昇華組合。

適合各種皮膚類型使用，特別切合乾性及成熟型肌膚的需要。

無可比擬的卓越效果：

經由試用者親身體驗及確認，證明產品有卓越的修護功效***：

• 顯著提昇／抗皺效果：83%試用者發現有助減少眼部的幼紋，眼周肌膚的緊緻度明顯有所提昇。
• 超卓保濕效果：92%試用者倍感眼周肌膚潤澤／豐盈，富彈力。
• 全面修護效果：94%試用者表示，眼周肌膚更加柔滑／幼嫩，重現生機。

***在參與為期4週的產品試用之後，試用者均感到眼周肌膚得到明顯改善。

使用方法：

日常眼周膠原護理

平日早晚使用純膠原蛋白眼部再生精華，足以為眼周幼嫩肌膚提供密集的修護，並全面改善眼部七大問題。

潔膚後，把適量（約５滴）的眼部精華由外向內均勻地塗於每邊的眼下位置，輕拍至完全吸收，無需清洗。早／晚各使用一遍。建議配合其他ULTIMA II日用或夜用護膚品一同使用。

眼部急救修護療程

遇到日曬／熬夜／壓力等問題，脆弱的眼周肌膚變得鬆弛／暗沉，乾紋亦隨之形成。純膠原蛋白眼部再生精華配合膠原蛋白眼膜，是重要日子前夕的眼部急救修護療程，能令明眸極速回復最佳狀態，雙眼重現明亮／攝人神采。

1. 潔膚後，把適量（約5適）的眼部精華由外向內均勻地涂於每邊的眼下位置。
2. 抺乾雙手後，分別在每片眼膜均勻地加入10至15滴的眼部華，再把眼膜從盛器中取出。
3. 輕輕將眼膜固定於眼下位置。再次輕拍適量的眼部精華於眼膜上，靜待15至20分鐘。
4. 富眼膜接近乾透時，將眼膜由外向內慢慢取下。把剩餘於眼下位置的眼部精華，輕拍至完全吸收，無需清洗。每天使用一遍。

我的意見：

說明書指出這個產品有兩種的使用方式，但小妹從未試過＂眼部急救修護療程＂，因為這樣的使用方法實在太貴啦....

雖然於購買這個產品時曾經有過不愉快的經驗，但用後這個產品真的不錯。一支精華大約可以用到個多月，每次每隻眼只需一滴。用了大約一星期已經見到眼周皮膚有明顯的改善，乾紋小了，眼圈淡了，遮瑕高都用小了。

現在小妹最大的問題就是如何再買，因為我已經用完一set，但真的怕了ULTIMA II的售貨員...

• Lightly smooth into the area below eyes, moving in an outward direction. Repeat this six times.

My Opinion:

Overall a good eye serum, it's rich without causing any milia.

Don't expect this to remove your wrinkles because it won't, but it does improve the dry lines around my eyes.

I liked using this product, but I'm not sure whether it's worth the dollar, because I'm pretty sure that I can find a similar substitute for a lot less.

My Opinion:

It didn't do anything at all to my under eye area, my lines and dark circles are still intact, and it takes ages to absorb, I hardly use it anymore.
