L.Raphael: The Secret Ingredient every woman needs after hitting 30

There is one thing I know for sure; there are only a few brands in the world that are as effective and luxurious as L.Raphael. Something about the formulas and the end result is what takes their products to the next level of skincare. I have previously reviewed the Vitamin C Face Serum which showed really impressive results, along with the Lavender Massage Body Oil which was the most soothing and light oil formula I've ever tried. 

Today it's all about eyes and the Ultimate Anti-Wrinkle Lifting Eye Serum. I have been putting this product to the test every day for the past month. The eye area is the most sensitive and vulnerable part of the face, with very delicate skin that gets a lot of movement and stress. With time, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes thinner, and starts to dry out; that's when you need to start seeking out a more serious solution than just a typical moisturiser.

Serums should become an essential part of any skincare routine, especially in your late twenties or early thirties. They contain a concentrated portion of all the active ingredients your skin might be lacking already. Here is a brief overview on what L.Raphael Ultimate Eye Serum claims to achieve:

• Boosts natural collagen production
• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines appearance
• Brightens dark circles
• Firms the skin
• Moisturises
• Reduces puffiness

This is all we really need and expect from a high-end eye product, but doesn't it sound too good to be true? Basically every brand making similar products claims the same results, but usually hardly ever delivers on half of the claims. Happily, this is not the case with L.Raphael. They know they have to keep up with their promised claims as they care about their reputation more than anything. With famous and wealthy clients from all over the world, this brand is focused on delivering great and noticeable results in the first place. 

Regarding my personal experience, this was a product that came just in time. I was having a break after using another serum and began experiencing my under-eye area getting very dry and fine lines showing up more than usual. That was the moment I understood that being 30 is not only a number. My skin is getting more vulnerable and prone to wrinkling now, so I need to start taking my skincare rituals more seriously.

1-MONTH USE RESULTS 

Over a month of use, this serum helped me gain back my confidence in how I look, and I can honestly admit that my under-eye area looks fresher now. The skin gained back its softness and it looks much more plump and firm. Puffiness and dark circles were again under control and the wrinkles started to fade away.  Of course I should not expect them to disappear completely, but what is important, they became shalllower and less defined now. Good products need time and I think after 3 months of using this serum I will see even better results with wrinkles.

IS IT WORTH IT?

The packaging design and applicator is very typical to the brand, but also very comfortable. It is easy to have control over the product because the pump allows you to gently press it until you have the right amount. This way you can be sure that the serum will last you for a very long time. I used it day and night for a month and I can barely see the product decreasing in bottle. So when it comes to skincare, I believe it's worth to splurge on a thing that works especially when it will last you forever.
