Eye Cream
VII Code sent me their eye cream, and let me tell you, it was life changing. I have only tried a few under eye creams and I’ll be honest, none of them did a lot for me. They maybe hydrated in the short term but I could get that from any old rich moisturizer. But the T2 under eye cream (also side note- it smells like heaven) plumps for a full 24 hrs. I wore it before bed and in the a.m. and I have to say, my fine lines are closing up AND when I applied makeup, there was a NOTICABLE difference in creasing with my under eye concealer.
Before I launch into the T2 eye cream though, I want to educate you a little on the company as a whole. Inspired by the 18th century Austrian dermatologist and esthetician, Byrne Victor, the company’s name sake comes from one of his descendants who came to New York and opened the first luxury club for personalized skincare. He was named Byrne Victor the 7th, and that is where the VII comes from. Byrne Victor believed that every woman should have a personalized formula and regimen for her skin. He even treated NAPOLEON’s wife, Josephine. For someone who is a history lover, this origin of the company was right up my alley.
Eventually the club eventually developed two lines of products for the “every-woman” who could not afford to be a member. There was VII Beauty (the basic skincare line) and VII Code (the luxury version). This eye cream comes from the luxury line, VII Code. I have noticed significant difference in the hydration (consistently) in my under eyes as well as the reduction of fine lines. I haven’t noticed any difference in my dark circles but I have only used the product for a few weeks. But you all know (if you watch my Instagram stories…) that I am SUPER picky about scent. If it doesn’t smell good, I don’t care what it does for my looks! I don’t like things that have sulfur in them etc. But this is actually my new FAVORITE product smell-wise.
Some of the of the VII Code V2 eye cream ingredients include:
- Evening primrose (boosts circulation and smoothes wrinkles)
- Avocado (HELLO HYDRATION!)
- Elderberry (helps with anti-aging)
- Chamomilla Recutita (reduces flaking/ restores dewy-ness)
Here’s the insane part though guys – ALL of these ingredients are FLOWN directly to their labs within EIGHT hours of harvesting…. WHAT! I think that is a big part of why they work so well. I am obsessed with this factor because think about it – there is a big difference in food products that are fresh and aren’t. The same goes for skincare. You want the freshest.
Anyhoo – CLICK HERE TO SHOP their products. I can’t speak to anything beyond the V2 eye cream but if the other products work half as well, they’re for sure worth it.
