Algenist Eye Cream: Nature’s Technology

The number of beauty problems is much smaller than the number of beauty solutions. Making it difficult to zero in on the right fix. The process of elimination can be tiresome and incredibly expensive, especially if there is an issue you are particularly self-conscious about. For many, the eyes are a sensitive and serious issue. Whether you are trying to beat fine lines, dark circles, puffiness or bags there seems to be a different cream for everything. Added to this conundrum is the simple fact everyone’s skin reacts differently to products and a certain amount of trial and error is needed.

One ingredient that seems to outperform many others is alguronic acid. This ingredient is extracted from micro-algae and is the defining fuel for the regeneration of micro-algae. With this in mind, the compound is used in the products of Algenist and has shown to rejuvenate skin more quickly. A new proprietary ingredient is algaprotein, rich in antioxidants and amino acids, essential for protecting the skin and reducing signs of aging.

The basic eye cream offered by Algenist is its Complete Eye Renewal Balm, available in the mid-high price range for eye cream ($68 per jar). This balm is free of dyes and fragrances and supports all skin types. It combines everything an eye product should have — cucumber, vitamin C, caffeine, aloe and green tea extract — with the addition of alguronic acid.

Algenist takes a specifically scientific approach to skin care and maintains its products are naturally sourced. It might be worth a try, but before investing always ask for a free sample from Sephora or Ulta Beauty.
