Review: Korres Black Pine Antiwrinkle & Firming Eye Cream

Korres Black Pine Antiwrinkle and Firming Eye Cream

I am someone who desperately needs eye cream in my life. Growing up on the borderline of needing glasses but also not really needing glasses unless I was sitting in the back of the classroom means that I spent a lot of time squinting. I also grew up in a sunny place and didn’t always wear sunglasses– so again, more squinting! And all of that squinting has left me with fine lines around my eyes, so I was very excited to see black pine extract (a natural polypeptide–think collagen booster) as an ingredient in the new Korres skincare line.

I have only been using this eye cream for two weeks. So far, I do like it and find it moisturizing but I would warn people from applying it too close to the eye itself. I know, it’s eye cream, where else does it go? However, if you get this too close to your eye there is likely to be an accompanying burning sensation that I think you’ll want to avoid. The fragrance may also be off putting for some, so I would definitely take a long whiff before purchasing, if possible, to make sure you won’t be sensitive to it.

Two weeks isn’t really long enough to judge the merits of a product utilizing polypeptides but as I am updating my eye-care regime this month, I thought I would put down my first thoughts about this cream and update later to reveal whether I stick with the Korres Black Pine line or go back to my much-loved Shiseido eye cream. Stay tuned to find out! And if you have any suggestions for eye cream, drop me a line in the comments.
