Pros: Amazing light product, I can feel it working immediately after putting it on.
Cons: Could be expensive if bought retail
The Bottom Line: Save on eBay or get a sample to try, I love what it has done for my tired eye circles, softness of skin, and general eye elasticity. Perfect!
maguilar's Full Review: La Prairie Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex
I first heard about La Prairie...
...from a girlfriend who had a friend who was using the Caviar line and was absolutely hooked. Obviously its EXPENSIVE...but I was intrigued. I've been obsessed lately with different skin care products..figure you can't start too young. So I bought a small sample size of it on eBay to try it out..and the addiction begins. I recently bought the regular size .5 oz for 50% off on eBay as well, can't wait til it comes.
Using it only at night so far...
...since I don't want to waste it..and have been using it for 2 weeks with a marked improvement. I am young, 27, with normal/combo skin..however my eyes always betray how I am feeling. If I am tired or if I am sick..I get darker circles and look generally not well and definitely not perky and young. This product helps immensely if I didn't sleep well or just am tired/stressed. It puffs up the skin under the eye, so no more sunken circles, and the extra elasticity in the skin is definitely more visible now. I don't have a lot of lines or wrinkles (yet!) so don't know if it would work on that..but so far I adore it. Also right after I put it on, I feel a slight tingle/tightening of the skin which lets me know that it is starting to work its magic as I slide off to sleep. Added benefit is that the skin under and around my eyes is much softer to the touch.
Have tried a few other eye creams...
...such as Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv and Age Management Eye Repair from EL as well..both with marginal positive effects..cheaper retail pricing as well. I now use Re-Nutriv for day use and the La Prairie potion for night-time. However, once I get the full size bottle I will probably be using it for day and night as I definitely can't get enough of the tingle!
Would definitely recommend...
...trying it out via sample size at the store or on eBay (I got my sample of .17 oz for $15...in stores its .5 oz for $95). The sample size will go a long way if you use it sparingly. I found a great deal for the regular size in the lovely dark blue La Prairie 'Caviar' bottle..and got it at about 50% off! Don't spend the $100 in retail stores unless you have to.
Absolutely addicted..
I have to say that now I am REALLY intrigued to try the other members of the La Prairie Caviar line..however I don't know if my poor little budget can handle it. We will have to see what happens! In the meantime however, I am addicted to the Eye Caviar Complex and warn you..try it and you will be too. :).
