WHAT:

Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream

THE PROMISE:

From the website:

“Prevent the first signs of aging with this ultra-light and non-sticky cream that penetrates skin instantly; allowing you to apply your make-up immediately.”

“Enriched with high performance ingredients, this unique care will increase micro-circulation, reducing puffiness and dark circles. It deeply moisturizes and protects the delicate eye contour area.”

PRICE:

$27.50 CAD for 15 ml

PROS:

An eye cream that does it all! Hypo-allergenic and perfume free. Affordable price

CONS:

The light texture might not be suited for really dry skin. The pump also dispenses a little too much per application and you end up getting more than you need. With eye cream, I find that a very little amount is suffice.

THE VERDICT:

This is a good start-up cream that battles the first signs of aging for people who want to kick start their skin care routine. The cream provides  hydration (it got rid of my dry lines   and combats fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. I don’t think that this cream will cure everything but as a basic eye cream, I think that this is a very good choice. It has a gel-cream texture so this is suitable for people with normal and combination skin.
