No7 Pure Retinol Eye Cream 15ml

Product Information

Professionally, I spent years trying out products on a weekly basis, and personally, I learned to find moments of peace in my nightly and morning skin-care routines. And unlike some eye creams, this pick from No7 has a super lightweight texture that doesn’t feel greasy or tacky.

The first couple of days my eye lids were a bit sore but the instructions said this might happen so I only did it every other day for a couple of days and then it was fine. Now the question is only this: If we put ceramides all over our face do they work as well as ceramides already naturally in our skin? The BeautyBrains blog made a fantastic article about ceramides and they have listed a couple of examples about studies showing that ceramides - especially when used in certain ratios with cholesterol and fatty acids - do hydrate the skin and can help to repair the skin barrier. Better yet, the formula is safe for daily nighttime usage and is fragrance-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin types.Btw, Xanthan gum is all natural, a chain of sugar molecules (polysaccharide) produced from individual sugar molecules ( glucose and sucrose) via fermentation. Along with ceramides 4 and 7, they also play a vital role in epidermal integrity and serve as the main storage areas for linoleic acid (a fatty acid that's also very important for barrier repair). You can see the detailed formula review with the breakdown of all actives in the product and the full ingredient list with estimated concentrations in the tables below. A helper ingredient that helps to neutralize the metal ions in the formula (that usually get into there from water) that would otherwise cause some not so nice changes. It's a film-forming and thickening polymer (a large molecule composed of many repeated subunits) that comes to the formula usually as part of an emulsifier, thickener trio (with C13-14 Isoparaffin and Laureth-7, trade named Sepigel 305).

However, after heading to my local Boots, I realised that they had a lot of different of eye creams on offer, from eye creams for wrinkles, retinol eye creams and more. Even better, No7 uses pure retinol, which is proven to be more effective than commonly used retinol derivatives. Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin (penetration enhancer), making the product spread nicely over the skin (slip agent), and attracting water (humectant) into the skin. Once inside the skin, it hydrates, but not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin (hello long baths! The skin under my eyes was always an issue for me as I have had 3 kids and worked shifts so their is some lack of sleep damage!You know that curve of cheekbone just beneath your eye, the lower orbital bone, which reaches up to your temple? No7’s retinol collection are the first products that make adding retinol to my daily skin-care regimen seem like an attainable, consistent change that feels good and provides results — and that’s worth more than anything. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking.
