Well, let it be known that I've never (never!) written an online review for a product before. And as a dermatologist's daughter (who still got a LOT of sun, growing up in Southern CA playing outdoor sports for years – not to mention a streak in highschool where I snuck to my bff's pool and slathered up with baby oil), I've used my fair share of products. Now in my early 30's, all that sunshine was showing up on my face. All of a sudden I had a network of fine lines under my eyes that seemed to appear in a matter of months! It was disheartening, to say the least. What was really bugging me were these vertical and horizontal lines that seemed to be just from blinking my eyes! Great, I thought. I'm going to be blinking for a looooong time (let's hope!), so these are only going to get worse.
Anyway – I've loved Elta MD sunscreens for a while, and when I noticed they had an eye gel, I gave it a shot. That was about three weeks ago. I've used it once or twice a day and then my usual Retin-A product about every other night. And today, as I looked closely in the mirror, I noticed that those little lines are definitely diminished! They're not gone, but they are less noticeable, for sure. And if that can happen in three weeks, I'm pretty excited about the results I'll get in a longer period of time.
Love Elta MD. My new morning routine is the Eye Gel and the UV 46 Clear sunscreen, which is moisturizing but light, and also has niacinimide, which fights hyperpigmentation and little lines. It's a winning combo for me so far! Give the Eye Gel a shot – it really works, and it's actually a lot less expensive than the other "medical grade" skin care lines out there! I'll be letting my dad know about this find as well… 🙂
