Lab by Natura Siberica Biome Phyto Retina Anti-Puff & Dark Circles Eye Cream 30ml RRP £12

 

The last year has been a tough one for me, with my back operation came a huge reduction in sleep and that was without throwing menopause into the mix. As such I have noticed a big difference with my eyes, by way of dark circles and puffiness. Something I never used to suffer from, was the lack of sleep but now I am lucky enough if I get 4-6 hours broken sleep. 

I was searching through my products when I realised that I hadn’t reviewed the Lab Biome Anti-Puff & Dark Circles Eye Cream. Natura Siberica is one of my favourite brands due to the quality of ingredients and the price!

Whilst I have written about Biome before, here is a quick re-cap. Microbiome is basically the organisms that live on and inside your skin such as bacteria, fungi etc. So the purpose of the Biome products is to balance and maintain a healthy skin.

There are several active ingredients in the product that help de puff and improve circulation under the eyes, as well as protecting the delicate eye area. Such ingredients (and yes, there are a lot more) include:-

• Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil - Sunflower Seed Oil, this plant extract contains many fatty acids that help dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles. 
• Lactobacillus Ferment - helps protect against environmental aggressors such as pollution, smoke and heating. 
• Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate - a 3 amino peptide that targets wrinkles. 
• Biotin - contains B vitamins that help nourish the delicate skin area, giving hydration. 
• Folic Acid - firms the area under the eyes and helps prevent sagging, as well as protecting the delicate skin barrier function. 
• Cyanocobalamin - vitamin B12 helps promote healthy cell growth and provides essential nutrients for collagen production. 
• Niacinamide - reduces wrinkles, brightens the skin and improves the appearance of dark circles. 
• Pantothenic Acid - contains vitamin B5, which is antibacterial and again helps with hyperpigmentation and dark circles. 
• Pyridoxine - vitamin B6 helps with regulating oil production.
• Riboflavin - vitamin B2 helps improve skin tone and gives radiance. 
• Thiamine - vitamin B1 helps with the production of collagen, so prevents the onset of wrinkles and fine lines. 
• Angelica Archangelica Root Extract - skin brightening, reduces patchiness. 
• Aralia Mandshurica Leaf/Stem Extract - rejuvenates and strengthens the under eye area, helps prevent those fine, crepey lines by restoring the skins elasticity. 

Here’s a before of my eyes, you can see that I have puffiness and dark circles, caused by lack of sleep and illness.

I have applied the eye cream to just my left eye, and wasn’t expecting an ‘immediate’ difference. The eye gel was easy to press lightly into my under eye area and disappeared without the need to apply any pressure.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the results were instantaneous. 

There is a remarkable difference with lightness and brightness to the left of my eye. I will continue to use this over the next month, as the 30ml tube really does go along way!

As always with this fabulous brand, many of the ingredients are wild harvested and organic. The product is vegan friendly and you can purchase it by clicking the link HERE
