Review of MyChelle Fabulous Eye Cream


My skin is sensitive and so I have to be careful what I put on it.Usually this means I end up spending a little more on face care products as I have learnt the hard way by trying cheaper products and ending up with a sorry result! Only last month I decided to experiment with a cheaper eye cream and overnight my eyes developed a horrible reaction. They became puffy, the skin was extremely itchy and red welts appeared. It was quite a severe reaction that prompted me to go to the doctor but fortunately it healed within a week or so.
So having learned my lesson I am back to using MyChelle Fabulous Eye Cream and it really is rather fabulous.

About the product:

MyChelle Fabulous Eye Cream is designed for all skin types. It is described as being a rejuvenating eye cream to help reduce the visible signs of aging as well as hydrating and soothing the delicate eye area. The active ingredients include edelweiss plant stem cells and hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid helps plump out skin and keep it youthful looking whilst edelweiss contains high concentrations of leontopodic acids A and B which have strong antioxidant properties. Edelweiss stem cells are especially beneficial for the eye contour area.

How I tested the product:

I use this product in the morning and just before bedtime. I dot it gently under the eyes and between the eyebrows. Sometimes I use it above the upper lip since the ingredients can also inhibit lines forming.

Pros:

  • Non - irritating.
  • A light pleasant smell which doesn't overpower.
  • Seems to work, my furrows have all but disappeared between my eyes.
  • Scientifically formulated preparations using natural and bioactive ingredients.
  • The product comes with good educational material about the ingredients.
  • Comes in tube, which I prefer as my fingers are not dipping in the jar. More hygienic.
Cons:

  • Expensive. I love MyChelle products and I will continue to use them due to my skin sensitivites but the products are not cheap. The eye cream is around $28 for a 5oz tube.
 Conclusion:

Well prepared product that uses natural non -toxic ingredients in theraputic doses that are the correct amount to affect a positive change.The company has a great website and publishes literature to educate consumers about safe alternatives in skin care.

Where to buy it:

Online, health stores, company website. Shop around online as you can often find the product a little cheaper.

I give it 4.5 stars out of 5 and if you have sensitive skin this just might be a good product for you.
