Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix Reviews

I have found a little went a long way with this product and it provided results for my skin quickly. The formula creates a smoothness and reduced the fine lines around my eyes. The darling little bottle fits nicely into my cosmetic bag and can go where ever I go. The applicator in the bottle allows it to be applied evenly and prevents waste. This I found important as applying a concentrate to the skin only a tiny amount is required to create an effect. The skin tightens with the plumping action of the formula and appears more youthful and refreshed.

Full disclosure I have reviewed and pretty much hated the whole ANR range because I think for the price the performance was lacking and in fact dried my skin out. This little gem however is entirely different and I am very impressed with the performance. I tend to judge pricier products a little harshly if they don't perform, because why pay top $ for mediocre products?

I have no criticism of this product apart from the packaging. Comes in a little 15ml bottle with a weird "360 degree massage applicator" (please, it's just a blob in the shape of a ball on a stick, nothing high tech here!). That's it, the harshest I can be. 15mls might not sound like much but a little goes a long way and it lasts forever, it is quite economical really. It is rich enough to be used as a stand alone eye cream for me (in my 40's with normal to dry skin).

The ingredients list is positively sumptuous and I highly encourage you to check them out online - it is very impressive. It is a very thick serum type gel cream, off white in colour and that characteristic ANR earthy type scent with a little chemical note to it. Nothing offensive and no fragrance added, just the scent of all those gorgeous extracts.

Although it has dimethicone in the ingredients list it in no way affects other skincare layers or makeup/concealer that goes over it- in fact is seems to help it look great. My under eye area totally loves this product, it feels smooth and looks plump and refreshed and I really notice the days when I don't use it. Totally worth the price and I'm hooked and I'm a big critic of this range in general.

I received a 5ml sample jar of this Eye Concentrate and have used ut nearly to the bottom of the bottle. I wanted to use it for as long as possible to really assess the results. Since a little goes a long way I have been using this for more than a couple of weeks and really like this product.

The sample bottle is essentially a small version of the full size one with some minor differences such as the look of the lid. It has the same shaped bottle which tapers in towards the bottom. This actually makes the bottle slightly unsteady but I suppose EL wanted it to be differentiated from the ANR face serum.

Inside the lid is a built-in applicator with a ball-shaped tip. You scoop the product on to the applicator and roll it under each eye a few times I guess to help boost circulation in this area as well as impart product. The concentrate feels like a serum - it's a bit slick. I apply it to my eyelids too. It absorbs fairly easily and it really softens and hydrates the eye area well. It seems mostly unscented or barely scented and does feel very gentle on the eye area.

And the results? I have noticed that the dark circles under my eyes have almost gone and my eyes look perkier and brighter. I think my fine lines look less obvious too.

All in all I've been impressed with this eye concentrate. I've actually only been putting it on in the morning but will try to get into the habit of using it at night. Definitely considering buying this when my sample runs out.
