Boots Expert Sensitive Hydrating Eye Cream

Gentle and Effective

The winter air drys my skin like a desert. The cold air can make my somewhat sensitive skin burn, especially around the eye area. This eye cream is a medium weight white cream that is fragrance free and delivers a smooth, soft moisture to my upper eye area. I use it above my eye around the brow where I don't like to use my thicker anti aging eye treatments. It leaves the skin smooth, supple and non greasy. There's a great glycerine content which helps prevent moisture from escaping the area as well as draw moisture from the air to hydrate skin so that is definitely a plus. It is rich, effective, and will not irritate. The only thing I dislike about this product is the packaging. It comes in a soft plastic tube, which you can't beat for the $6.99 pricepoint at Target, but I never am able to get all my product out of tubes. I recommend this to anyone who has eye area dryness or sensitivities without requiring anti aging or depuffing above the eye. I will purchase this again. It lasts forever and the price is fantastic. It is a perfect winter weight hydrator for eyes.

Boots No7 Advanced Hydration Night Cream

Glad I tried this.

In the winter, my combination skin becomes dry and flaky. I've tried other Boots products and enjoyed them so I decided to give this cream a try. For a night cream, it's not heavy like some can be, and a iittle goes a long way. In the morning, my skin is smooth and plump with moisture. No oiliness or breakouts, this cream completely absorbs into skin. The scent is pretty benign to me. I'm sensitive to a lot of fragrance; if it was too perfumed I wouldn't be able to use it. I wouldn't call the scent pleasant but I definitely don't hate it. It smells like I think a face cream should, meaning effort wasn't put into scenting this product. What I don't like about this is the packaging. There are other Boots products that are packaged in plastic jars which I just prefer over glass. That's a personal preference though so only one star garnish. This will become a staple in my routine. Try this if you need a no-nonsense, comfortable moisturizer that will result in perfectly hydrated skin the next morning.
