Rituals Awareness Rich & Firming Eye Cream
What is Rituals Awareness Rich & Firming Eye Cream?
This is an eye cream that claims to nourish the eye area, promote health and provide youthfulness. These things are possible with an effective use of moisture, without the use of strong chemicals. If the product claimed to stimulate collagen production, we would expect to see lots of peptides or the use of stem cells. The company states that its goal is to create quality products, not just cosmetics, but home furnishings as well – things like candles, organic cottons, and so on. We are impressed with what this company claims to do, but we need to look at the ingredients of this cream to see if they will give the skin the moisture it needs in order to look younger and be healthy.
Ingredients
AQUA (WATER), GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERYL STEARATE, PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (SWEET ALMOND) OIL, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) OIL, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) OIL, PEG-100 STEARATE, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA BUTTER), HEXYLDECYL LAURATE, HEXYLDECANOL, PANTHENOL, DIMETHICONE, SQUALANE, PHENOXYETHANOL, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, AMMONIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE/VP COPOLYMER,
Pros
There are almost a dozen emollients in this product, which means that as far as we can tell, this will be an effective moisturizer. It is also relatively inexpensive for an eye cream. Costing about $26 for a half an ounce, it is cheaper than most eye creams we review. As we said, hydration makes the skin look younger, and this product contains many effective moisturizers.
Cons
Every product contains some ingredients that have been shown to cause irritation, and this is no exception. There is nothing particularly troubling, though. We did not find anything contained in this product that would make a dramatic difference as far as collagen production or extreme anti-aging treatment, but the product does not claim to do that.
Conclusion
We liked the product. It offers moisture, it is relatively inexpensive, and it seems to be made from high quality ingredients. Overall, if you are looking for a product that gives you hydration in the eye area, we would recommend trying this product.
