NUXE MERVEILLANCE LIFT LIFT EYE CREAM

They say: A firming eye cream from the French brand Nuxe that sees ingredients of 97-per-cent natural origin, including micro-algae oil used to hydrate, smooth and strengthen the eye contour area.

We say: Our tester, a woman in her 60s, was very pleased with this product. With a cream consistency, she found a small amount was all that was needed to fully smooth around the eye area. Unlike some eye products, she found this hydrating cream stayed in place without migrating or irritating eyes throughout the day.
