Dark Circles and Baggy Eyes- Instant Solution

I recently discovered this product and had to write about it! I think it's unreal. It's called the Shiseido Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask. No joke of a lie- you put this 'mini mask' under and around your eyes for 15 minutes and it works with the collagen in your skin to INSTANTLY reduce puffiness and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. So one of the wonderful ladies at The Bay, showed me these fantastic products for use in my makeup kit. She said it was great for dealing with 'hangovers' or for someone who needs to fix up the crow's feet around the eyes ASAP. I definitely did not believe her until I tried it out. No joke- it was refreshing and definitely helped the puffy tired eyes. I know I don't have wrinkles- thank God- but just the rejuvenating sensation of this product was amazing.

It honestly goes back to what I was talking about in my Age-Fighting Retinol blog, with the immediate effects of retinol on the skin. Definitely something I think everyone should try out, if they have a brutal under eye area.

According to the Shiseido website, "the original Pure Liquid Retinol Delivery System, penetrates skin rapidly and helps combat wrinkles, dark circles, dryness, and loss of resilience. It helps minimize uneven texture, fine lines, and crow's feet in just 15 minutes for a look that is visibly younger and smooth as silk. Contains Hydroxyproline, a high-technology amino acid that parallels skin's own natural building blocks and helps natural collagen production."

Although it is pricey, costing $68, for a box of 12 packets (2 pieces in each), I would recommend this to people who need a quick 'fix-me-up' and no time to sleep. Honestly, I'd probably use this if a) had an event to go and looked like death that day, or b) needed help with aging (not yet at least). Try it out, and let me know if you've tried other products like this on the market.
