Nutritional-Dermatology. A breakthrough approach in skin care.
- The beauty of your skin reflects your inner health and vitality. Skin’s appearance is at its best when essential nutrients aid in stimulating and protecting skin cell activity throughout the surface layers of the skin. Thus, diet and nutrition, as well as lifestyle and aging, influence the beauty of your skin. Through collaboration with dermatologists and nutritionists, Garnier has developed an advanced skin care line with a unique combination of natural and essential “skin-nutrients,*” surface-cell-recharging ingredients targeted to help your skin stay healthy-looking and beautiful, day after day.
Is it right for me?
- While you sleep, circulation slows down and causes fluids to collect in your lower eye area. Dark circles and puffiness appear. Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller is right for you if you want to gently stimulate micro-circulation around skin’s delicate eye area to decongest excess fluid for diminished dark circles and puffiness.
How is it different?
- Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew is our 1st anti-puff eye roller that uses a unique-combination of “skin-nutrients*” and a cooling, roll-on applicator to stimulate micro-circulation. It’s ideal for a hygienic application in the sensitive eye area and convenient for use on-the-go.
Pros:
- Nice design, Easy to use, It’s feels good, light and cooling,Glided smoothly, Absorbed quickly, Fluid was not thick or oily, Great value.
Cons:
Bottom line:
- I am one of those unblessed people who have dark circles around their eyes because of fatigue and sleepless nights. So that’s the main reason why I got it.The first time I used it there’s a little bit stingy feeling but i do have sensitive skin around my eyes so i guess that’s understandable.I also found this to have an immediate effect, my dark baggy shadows immediately looked and felt alot better. I will try it out for a bit longer though to see the real result. Overall, I have notice less puffiness, but so far it hasn’t done much for dark circles or tightening. I’d recommend it for the soothing effect, but I’m still waiting for the 4 week noticeable difference.Try it out, you might like it!
- Recommended : Yes
- Price paid: $13.00+tax
EMPTY BOTTLES
- I found this 3 Empty bottles and I immediately got it because of one bottle pump ahehehe.Thinking Why? Well, I’m going to use it as my foundation bottle because my Maybelline foundation has no pump in it so this would be a good idea. So yeah try it out girls trust me, your life will be easier ahehehe~
