Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream 21 ingredients
TL;DR: Expensive, but softens my under eye wrinkles tremendously!
I received this as a sample from Sephora while getting something else, and since I was looking for an eye cream, trialed this.
I actually really like it, and it didn't irritate my under eye area at all. Didn't notice any breakouts in the area while using it either, and it left my skin nice and hydrated. I pat it into my skin Show more
This has been fantastic for healing the skin around my eyes after a bout of nasty blepharitis caused by blasting my eyes with too much vitamin c.
Highly recommended for recovery of dry, damaged skin.
