Whose Line Is It Anyway

Eye Contour Advance Night Repair by Estée Lauder is a fitting reply to expression lines, wrinkles and imperfections emboldened over years.

The task at hand

Every day, our eyes are subjected to more than 10,000 micro movements, something that we don’t even realise are happening. A daily ocular marathon is equivalent to approximately eight kilometres of walking, which, over time, only weakens the skin around the contours of our eyes. The outcome? Eyes that are gradually more and more fatigued and blood shot, exhibiting signs that betray our age: dark circles, eye bags and wrinkles. “For every blink, frown or laughter, cutaneous movements occur making them possible,” Dr Nadine Pernodet, vice president of research and development at Estée Lauder, says. Stress linked to these micro movements and the delicate nature of periorbital skin leads to the premature ageing of this sensitive region compared to the rest of the face.

An SOS formula

The new technology, a massaging applicator, envelopes the contours of the eyes, and reduces the shocks like a soft, oxygenating cushion. With strong action combining two hyaluronic acids of different molecular weights, this powerful concentrate fights against all signs of ageing. The best ally to a beauty sleep, it jumpstarts the nocturnal purification processes of the skin.

The benefits

After a month of use, we observed extensive hydration of the contours of the eye lasting for up to 24 hours. Skin tissues held water better and skin had a rejuvenated look. Signs of ageing began to lighten and ultra-fine skin of eye contours gradually regained its softness.
