Germaine de Capuccini - Timexpert Lift (IN) | Supreme Definition Eye Contour Emulsion - Anti-Aging Eye Cream for a Firm, Luminous and Rejuvenated Look

This beautiful pot, and applicator look very fancy out of the box, and it even comes with a free sample of one of their other products - always a hit with me.I have quite pronounced crow’s feet, as I’m a woman of a certain age, and i recognize that no cream can work miracles - at least I’ve not seen it happen yet, and I’ve tried many, MANY potions. So i don’t really expect a vastly noticeable result in my eyes. The best results I’ve seen are those “quick fix” temporary tightening creams, but those are not a long term solution, and a temporary solution, before you go somewhere to an event, and briefly tighten up the skin round your eye.This is a targeted cream, for use around the eye socket, and claims to rebuild the skin’s matrix, by lifting the eye contour and improving sagginess. Bold claims, so lets see what long term use does for me.Short term use (I’ve only been using it for a few days) my eyes do feel more awake, and wider. The cream smells very nice, though i know some people prefer unscented products, i don’t have an issue with it, and this smells really good to me. The texture is pretty light, yet rich. From beauty school, i learned that with eye products - less is more, and go gently when applying it. The skin round eyes is very delicate and stretches easily, so we were taught to gently pat eye creams in with our fingertips, as well as a light massage technique. Not that i do any of that now - there are tools to do everything. And this comes with a cooling, very soothing applicator, that just feels so pleasurable when I’m applying the cream.My eye skin feels pretty hydrated, though no difference in the wrinkles. I don’t have, sagging, bagging, puffiness or dark circles, so none of those are a concern, but a tightening effect would definitely be desirable.I would say that effects after 3 days are marginal, but I’m hopeful. Maybe not to reverse the aging process, but at least slow it down a bit.

Spain is renowned for incredible skincare, and GERMAINE DE CAPUCCINI is a well-established skincare line that's been around for years. I've only had the pleasure of using two of their products, and unfortunately didn't have the same luck with their serum as with this eye cream.Usually, I don't prefer fragrance in skincare and European countries are notorious for it. This scent, however, is lightly feminine and fresh scent that doesn't cause allergy or sensitivity reactions around my eyes. This is great for me because the skin around the eye is very thin and more reactive to the ingredients in eye moisturizers than other skincare. Any eye cream that passes this test is a win for me. The eye area definitely shows lift and smoothness with increase luminosity and some depuffing. This was my experience, but yours may differ. Gel creams are a particular fave of mine, as well as serums and oils, because they have the most dramatic and visible effect on rejuvenating and treating the eye area.This cream absorbs well without being greasy or shiny, and has the added benefit of a metal roller ball to smooth the cream along the eye area, from the inner eye to the outer eye. The skin looks smooth, moisturized, and tightened afterwards with no bothersome scent. That really surprised me given my experience with the skin serum in the same line, which was the exact opposite. The product is pricier than some and there are three drugstore brands that are even better than competitive department store or luxury brands, but to each their own. Buy what works best for you, regardless of price. As much as I like this eye cream, I probably won't re-order it in favor of other cheaper and/or reliable brands that work even better for me. Still, this is a good, effective product but not the best I've used for my eyes.

I received this product on October 30 and did patch tests for two days. I tried some on my arm on the 30th with no ill effects and then a small part under my eye on the 31st. I’ve had some bad results when I haven’t patch tested thoroughly in the past,so now this is my standard operating procedure for every new product I try.The first thing I noticed when removing this from the box was the extremely nice way it is presented. I’ve been unlucky with dark circles since I was a child and they have just gotten more pronounced as I’ve gotten older. This formula claims to improve your eyesocket and to reduce sagginess. Honestly I’d be pretty impressed and I would’ve been surprised if it happened in the 28 days I’ve been using it. I haven’t seen any type of noticeable difference but I didn’t expect to in this short amount of time. It goes on nicely with the roller and I’ve had no negative reaction to the product. My skin seems to absorb it quite well and even though it’s a rather small jar it doesn’t take too much product to get the job done. The cream feels rich and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I see an improvement. For me personally I rarely notice any positive results in less than four months. The best I can hope for this early is a product that moisturizers my eye area well (it does) and that the texture, smell, and presentation are enough to make me buy it at least one more time after I run out of the first jar(I will).
