My Thoughts:

Did you see Demi Lovato’s instagram post of the skincare products she uses? Well, the Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm was included.  Not to push Ms. Lovato aside, but, I’ve been using the Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm both night and day for over a year to hydrate my eye area, and strictly as a preventive measure towards wrinkles.  Honestly, when it comes to anti-aging products, there’s no way to tell if it’s working until further down the line, and as of now, I do not have wrinkles.

The Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm works well as an all around eye cream that keeps my eye area supple and moisturized; however, I have not noticed any reduction in my dark circles.  I’m a contact lens wearer, and I do have issues with products irritating my eyes, and the Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm doesn’t irritate them at all.

The texture of the Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm is creamy, and it goes on light without any oily or greasy residue, and absorbs easily, which makes it a perfect for use under eye makeup.

The Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm costs $65/0.5 oz, which sounds a lot, but to be honest, a little goes a long way.  The year is coming to close, and I still have some eye cream left over to last me at least another 2 months. If you’re in the market for a hydrating eye cream, then the Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm is something you may need to pick up.

The Algenist Eye Renewal balm can be purchased at Algenist.com, Sephora/Sephora.com and QVC
