Beauty Thesis

Lancôme Primordiale: ESR

Product Name ~ Primordiale Eye Skin Recharge

Product Description (from packaging) ~ Visibly Smoothing & Renewing Eye Treatment

As the aging process begins, your skin’s celluar activity slows down, resulting in rough and uneven skin texture, and the appearance of fine lines around the eye contours.  From Lancôme, a daily eye cream to visible smooth and renew skin, restoring it’s youthful look and vitality.

The Experience ~ I picked up this eye cream at a gift with purchase event a few weeks ago.  I figured that it was a good time to try and line, and I’ve been looking for a new eye cream to help in the fight against fine  lines.

The formulation is quite nice.  It’s a very rich cream, but it’s not heavy.  It absorbs quickly and easily into the skin, without leaving any residue.  There is a floral scent though, which I don’t think is a good idea for an eye cream, due to possible sensitivities.

Overall, I think it’s a quality product and is definitely something for people who are pro anti-aging, but don’t have mature skin yet.  The price is steep however, and I think that would be the primary turn off for most people.  However, Lancôme is known for their skin care and has the quality to back up the name.  I would recommend asking for a sample if you’re interested, to see if it would be worth the investment.
