MY Perricone MD BEAUTY PICKS

Perricone MD Eye Lid Serum, £95 & Nutritive Cleanser, £35

Perricone MD needs no further introduction (if you’re a regular reader of my blog!) – it’s pretty much on the top of my list of skincare; although I am firm believer in switching your skin care around once in a while – this brand still does wonders for my skin all the year around. As their range is pretty big, I am still working my way through their many products. The latest items I’ve been testing is their Eye Serum and Nutritive cleanser, both of which I am so pleased with so far (surprise surprise).

The Acyl-Glutathione Eye Lid Serum is meant to target the upper eye lid area (although I’ve been using it on both upper and lower), to give a more “youthful, more wide-eyed appearance, smoothing creases and minimizing dark circles”. Sounds perfect. Has it worked? Well, I am fortunate to not have a lot of wrinkles around my eyes (yet!) – however, I have always struggled with my sleep, so I feel my eyes are sometimes very puffy with dark circles. I was desperate to try something to brighten up my eyes – and this has certainly delivered! My eyelids feel smooth and soft, and my eyes are definitely more open and fresh. The consistency is smooth and fast absorbing, enabling me to easily smooth it on as a primer underneath my regular make-up.

After falling in love with this Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser from Perricone MD a while back (it has literally done wonders for my skin), I was curious to try out their Nutritive Cleanser. What I really liked about the Hypoallergenic cleanser was the way it left my skin feeling so clean, fresh and soft. The Nutritive cleanser basically does the same job! My skin is left feeling super soft, bright and smooth (with minimal traces left of make-up). I personally didn’t see much of a difference between the two (they’re both excellent); the only thing I would say is that the Nutritive Cleanser left my skin feeling that bit softer, and the Hypoallergenic Cleanser made my skin feel that bit cleaner (if I had to say something).

The results?

Fresh-faced, reduced darker circles, brighter eyes and a smoother complexion.
