I went to my dermatologist recently with my husband to get our moles checked (skin cancer screening). Thankfully we check out okay and this time I didn’t have to have any “suspicious” moles removed. I have had nine removed over the years. OUCH!
I addressed some concerns I had with my dermatologist as far as my facial skin was concerned. I have Rosacea, so she prescribe a topical medication for me to use. Hopefully it clears everything up.
I have had a “love/hate” relationship with my skin over the years. I love how it can be baby soft at times, but I look all blotchy and uneven. I’m sure the Rosacea feeds into that.
Another problem area is under my eyes. I have dark circles and puffiness. I think my eyes often make me look older than I actually am. After all, the kids at Dunkin Donuts give me a senior citizen discount, and I’m not even old enough to qualify! Ugh!
A while back I received a product that adresses my issues with my eye area. The product came from the brand AVYA.
Here is a little background on the brand.
Ayurveda is a healing system originating in India that seeks to integrate and restore mind, body, and spirit through a comprehensive, balanced approach to health and well-being. This “Clean,” high-performance product line combines advanced science with natural plant-based botanicals.
AVYA was developed by pharmacist and ayurvedic expert Deepika Vyas and double board-certified facial cosmetic and ophthalmic surgeon, Dr. Tanuj Nakra. AVYA takes traditional Ayurvedic ingredients and implements state-of-the-art technology to concentrate and boost their natural healing powers. Their proprietary technique of microencapsulation allows these botanical ingredients to deliver medical-grade results for maximum benefits.
In Sanskrit, AVYA means the “first rays of the sun.” They chose this name to celebrate a more radiant you—giving you the skincare products to enhance your outer beauty while letting your inner beauty shine through. Because they believe beauty begins with honoring yourself.
The product I received to review is their bestselling brightening and hydrating Eye Bright Cream.
The Eye Bright Cream’s hydrating formula lifts and brightens around the eye region to reduce the look of puffiness, redness, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles— leaving eyes looking luminous and refreshed. This breakthrough formula offers both instant and long-term results.
I find it interesting that this product contains caffeine. Caffeine has been found to protect your skin from free radicals, which are the molecules that break down your skin’s collagen, which causes those dreaded lines and wrinkles.
Caffeine has also been found to brighten your skin, reduce puffiness and can aide in inflammation.
This Eye Bright Cream applies very easily to your skin. Just a little bit goes a long way. I would suggest using your ring finger since it’s the most gentle finger on your hand. You need to be extra careful with the delicate skin around your eyes.
This cream absorbs quickly, so you can easily apply it before the rest of your beauty regime.
I have been using this product for several weeks and I really like it. I think it does help to reduce the daily puffiness under my eye. I suffer from allergies, so sometimes that can cause puffiness. It wasn’t as affective on that kind of puffiness, but the normal day-to-day kind it was.
As for the dark circles, it’s hit or miss. Some days they look better than others. I also am a horrible sleeper. There are nights I only get 2-3 hours sleep at best. So I can’t really tell how well the products works on dark circles if I always seem to have them due to lack of sleep. I DO think that it helps to make them look a lot better. My dark circles are not as prominent as they usually are.
I also think that this product adds some brightness to my skin. I look more “awake,” if that makes any sense?
I’m very impressed. This is one of those types of products I am sent to review that I enjoy so much that I purchase it again once my review sample is empty. I fully plan on buying more once my current bottle is empty.
I’m not the only one. If you read the product reviews written by customers on the brand’s website, a lot of people are very pleased with this product too.
