The Eyes Have It • The Nob Hill Gazette

Whether it was actually William Shakespeare, the philosopher Cicero or Leonardo da Vinci who first expressed the idea that “the eyes are the window to your soul,” one thing is for certain — your eyes can convey plenty. Dark circles indicate you’re probably over-tired and need more sleep. Deep crow’s feet and lines can make you look older than your actual years. And, when the area around your eyes appears bright and glowing, it can signal that you’re well-rested and healthy. In an effort to stay on the more flattering side of the spectrum, try one of these gold standard eye treatments.

Revive

The ultra-rich LXP Ultimate Revival Eye Cream from SK-II has been formulated with the brand’s highest concentrated Pitera — its signature ingredient that’s been condensed for purity — to smooth and enrich the skin and nourish the area around the eye. While it improves overall firmness by boosting moisture, it also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and enhances radiance by brightening dark circles. Use it in the morning and at night. For even better results, pair it with SK-II’s deep penetrating LXP Ultimate Revival Serum and LXP Ultimate Revival Moisturizer.

Relieve

Ideal for crow’s feet and under-eye lines, Estée Lauder’s Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Eye Serum has been designed to reveal a brighter, tighter “sculpted eye look” in as little as two weeks. The secret ingredient — an exclusive Black Diamond Truffle Extract — is a lightweight serum that’s absorbed quickly. When applied by massaging it into the skin with the accompanying cooling Sculpted Ceramic Eye Wand, you’ll begin to experience instant, visible depuffing.
