In my 20s I worshipped organic products, but as soon as I declared the war on wrinkles at 30, I demanded the full arsenal. It was time to bring out the big guns, and if it didn’t have science behind it or some revolutionary new ingredient that promised to make me look 5 years younger in 30 days, I’d turn my nose up at it like a cosmetics counter girl being pestered by a sample scab.
I’ve contemplated Botox, but Nicole Kidman (the poster girl for how not to age gracefully) and my rampant fear of needles puts me off. This leaves me vulnerable prey to the Swiss laboratories and their tiny pots of cream they peddle for hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars. Like all addictions, resistance is futile.
I’ve pretty much tried them all – Clinique, Chanel, La Prairie, La Mer, Lancome, Dior … you name it, if it’s got an expensive price tag and comes in a pretty little jar, you can bet I’ve pawned my life on eBay to own it.
So, by now you’re wondering, just which product actually works? A revolutionary concept, that we often forget about, because we are blinded by the bright lights of the counters, and fall in love with the promise, packaging and how it makes us feel when we use it. Guilty as charged.
So, if there is one product I would recommend in lieu of being injected with bovine toxin on a regular basis, it is La Mer’s Eye Concentrate. The active ingredient behind it is the miracle broth, which was created by a NASA scientist to treat the chemical burns he suffered when an experiment blew up in his face.
It’s a combination of sea ingredients that are harvested from the pristine waters of the Californian coast, along with vitamins, minerals and essential oils that are then biofermented for 4 months. The result is a highly concentrated broth, which is anti aging, healing, soothing and gives clarity and luminosity to skin.
The eye concentrate contains three different forms of the miracle broth, which help to dramatically reduce wrinkles, soothe puffy eyes and diminish dark circles. It comes with a silver orb that not only helps to cool the eye area, but ensures that you don’t use too much product – considerably important when it’s a mere $350 for a 15ml jar.
It might sound like marketing hype, as though they’re selling a story, and yes I admit, I can be a victim, but this is the first product I have used that has really made a visible difference. Maybe it really is a miracle.
