Retinol Anti-Aging Eye Gel Pads: Rev-EYE-talize for Fall

They say your eyes are the windows to your soul, so what are your eyes telling the world about you?  To keep eyes moisturized, de-puffed, and prevent the early signs of aging, look to the retinol revolution with Retinol’s *new* Anti-Aging Eye Gel Pads, which launch in-stores this month.

With the changing season, the fade of summer tans, and fewer daylight hours, it’s easy to fall prey to a tired, run-down appearance which are instantly made noticeable through the tell-tale signs of puffy, irritated eyes. Fight back this fall with Retinol’s vitamin enriched eye products:

  • *NEW* Retinol Anti-Aging Eye Gel Pads (SRP $16.00) offer quick, soothing treatment that provide visible improvement in the appearance of fine lines and puffiness while hydrating the sensitive and fragile skin under the eyes. It is a perfect treatment before a night out or any time you want to look or feel refreshed.
  • Retinol Eye Gel (SRP $22.00) is formulated to reduce the visible signs of aging around the delicate eye area. This gentle gel will help minimize the appearance of puffiness, dark circles and restore tone and elasticity. Formulated without fragrance for use on even the most sensitive skin.

JO MOUSSELLI BEAUTY SKIN RENEWING CONCEALER

Brighten, contour, and rejuvenate skin every time you apply your makeup with skin renewing concealer. Created by Jo Mousselli, Co-Founder of the acclaimed eyelash extension company, Xtreme Lashes, the concealer is formulated to hydrate, protect, and soothe skin while offering long-wearing medium coverage. With continued use, skin appears visibly smoother, plumper, brighter, firmer, and more hydrated.   This Skin Renewing Concealer is available in four fabulous shades: Fair, Neutral, Beige (New) and Mocha (New).

Skin-Renewing-Concealer

Skin Renewing™ Concealer targets visible aging via a three-pronged approach:

 

·        Corrective Prevention: Halt aging deep within the skin with Carnosine (an encapsulated dipeptide), Vitamin E, and Milk Thistle Fruit Extract. Delivered via a liposomal complex, the trio of nutrients fights signs of aging by reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, revitalizing skin, increasing elasticity, and preventing the stiffening and breakdown of skin’s natural collagen.

·        Hydration & Anti-Inflammation: A blend of Australian Myrtle Oil and Bisabolol, a derivative of German Chamomile, offers deep hydration and inhibits inflammation, preventing redness. Its natural antimicrobial properties help soothe redness and heal blemishes.

·        Youthful Radiance: Perfect for the under-eye area, the concealer also helps counteract the look of dark shadows, lines and wrinkles, and enlarged pores. Light-diffusing pigments help even skin tone, giving your skin a flawless finish. The waterproof formula is also long-wear, ensuring your skin stays vibrant all day.

WHAT THEY COST: $36 each

WHERE TO FIND THEM: Visit www.xtremelashes.comwww.nordstrom.com, www.tricoci.com, and Nordstrom Spas
