La Roche-Posay Effaclar Cleansing Towelettes, $7.99-$9.99

These French facial wipes are said to have been developed with a dermatologist to “remove oil and pore clogging impurities, down to microscopic pollution particles, while being gentle and safe for sensitive skin.” The towelettes are alcohol free, paraben free, fragrance free, and sulfate free. They also claim to refine skin texture and tighten pores as they clean.

Key Ingredients:

• Micro-exfoliating Lipo-Hydroxy Acid
• Soothing Antoxidant La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water
• Zing Pidolate and Mild Cleansing Agents

I used these towelettes several nights running and I did find them more effective at removing makeup than most other similar products, though I always follow up with a splash of water. They also left my skin feeling refreshed and smooth. The towelettes are great for travel and I plan to keep a pack in my gym bag for a quick, post-workout face wash.

Pigmentclar Dark Circle Eye Cream, $42.99

This French eye cream is said to “target both blue and brown dark circles for visibly brighter eyes.” It contains phe-resorcinol, caffeine, and light reflective pigments to “visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles and brighten the eye area.” The cooling metal applicator and gentle melt-in texture is suitable for even the sensitive eye area.

I’ve always had very stubborn dark circles under my eyes and was eager to see if this product could help. I loved the metal applicator (effective for under-eye puffiness, another persistent problem) and the texture was indeed melt-in – no rubbing or even patting required. I used it daily for about two weeks and found a slight improvement. I’m hoping that continued use will yield more dramatic results. Worth the price to see even a little improvement!
