Melvita Eye Contour Gel

 

While I love , adore make that , a heavy, creamy eye cream. sometimes  you want something lighter. Fresher. But I still want moisture. That's usually in summer for me when all my skincare goes the serum route.  Last year I added the Melvita Moisture Replenishing  Gel into the routine some days.  Light  and refreshing with just enough moisture for oilier skin.

Now there is a similar eye gel.  This is lightly  hydrating and a heavier gel than you might expect, it's no light thin serum. The ingredients are said to help puffiness and circles as well, all good things .  Melvita says it is  " Clinically proven to significantly reduce puffiness and dark circles in just 28 days, this triple-action treatment refreshes and revives tired eyes for visible results. A lightweight yet potent formula, it combines the ultra-moisturizing properties of the rose with the anti-puffiness and decongesting benefits of red seaweed and cornflower water" .

The gel  certainly feels good on the eye area. A bit cooling and if you want you can store in the fridge for even more cooling effect. Ahhhh.

Also to keep in mind much of  Melvita's line including this eye gel is Eco Cert certified.


 Melvita  Eye Contour Gel is $ 34 at  www.usa.melvita.com
 

Melvita Moisture Replenishing Facial Gel

Want good basic, but not that basic , natural skincare? Melvita might be for you.

Melvita is a top French organic beauty company and most products are  EcoCert certified. Honey plays a big role in much of their line ( they even have delicious honey hard candies)  as the company was founded by a beekeeper in 1983.

New  though, is a line based on rose,one of my favorite things.  They have have  made the Rose Nectar Collection using a blend of many of the rose's extracts including rose hip oil and rose enfleurage.

All this means it's rather nice for your skin and a bonus, it smells lovely too.

I tried the Moisture Replenishing Facial Gel as it's geared towards normal to combo skin and that's me. It's a nice lightweight, refreshing  formula that is exactly what it says- a gel cream. It looks like cream , goes on like gel.  It has rice powder to help mattify  with rose floral water ( long known to be very good for skin) and rose seed milk for moisture.

It comes in a nice pump container to keep out contamination and is meant to be a  day cream.

The Replenishing Facial Gel has 99 % of ingredients as natural origin , 36 % from organic farming and is ECOCERT certified.  Retail is $ 37.00

Overall, Melvita seems to be a nicely priced, and nicely done natural skincare line .    Within the Rose Nectar line there are cleansers- creamy and micellar, as well as night cream and  drier skin day cream.
