I spy under my little eye; puffiness, fine lines, wrinkles and telltale signs of far too many sleepless nights! The solution? Rid of all of the above by treating your peepers to an eye cream specifically formulated to repair the delicate eye area…
“The eye area is more thin and fragile than any other area of the face and the most prone to the accumulation of cellular damage. It’s where skin dries out the fastest and where most movement exists, which contributes to the appearance of lines and wrinkles. By treating the eye area first, we can postpone the look of aging.” -Dr Nadine Pernodet, Executive Director, Research & Development Estée Lauder Worldwide.
