Vichy LiftActiv Collagen Specialist 16 Eye Care 15 mL - Brand New

The Vichy LiftActiv Collagen Specialist 16 Eye Care is the eye-contour member of Vichy's Collagen Specialist range, a 15 mL fragrance-free cream made for the thinnest and most reactive skin on the face. It goes after the sixteen visible ageing signs the range is named for, so wrinkles, crow's feet, dark circles and puffiness are all being worked on at once rather than one at a time.

Skin loses collagen steadily from the late twenties, and the eye contour shows it first because there is so little tissue there to hide the loss. Vichy's answer is CO-BOND Technology, a patent-pending combination of three actives that each take a different part of the problem. Rhamnose works on surface smoothness, a biosynthetic collagen peptide targets firmness in skin that has been collagen depleted, and maitake extract lifts radiance so the area stops reading as tired.

Texture matters as much as formula on an eye product, and this one is silky and light. It absorbs quickly and leaves nothing sticky behind, so concealer goes on over it without dragging or settling into fine lines. The tube dispenses a small, controlled amount, which is exactly what you want when the whole application is about a grain of rice per eye.

Vichy ran a consumer test on 53 subjects over eight weeks: 92 percent saw smoother under eyes and 88 percent saw more radiant under eyes. The formula is allergy tested, dermatologist tested, paraben free and completely fragrance free, which is why it suits sensitive skin and anyone who reacts to scented eye creams. Use it morning and evening on clean, dry skin, smoothing outwards from the inner corner with a fingertip.

Key Features

• Corrects 16 visible ageing signs - the Collagen Specialist 16 Eye Care treats wrinkles, firmness, dark circles and radiance together instead of picking one target.
• CO-BOND Technology - a patent-pending complex built around rhamnose, collagen peptide and maitake, formulated for collagen-depleted eye contours.
• Biosynthetic collagen peptide - made to resemble a protein fragment found in human collagen, and aimed squarely at firmness.
• Rhamnose and maitake - one smooths the surface of the skin, the other brings back radiance so the eye area looks rested.
• Quick-absorbing, non-sticky texture - a silky lightweight cream that disappears in seconds and sits cleanly under concealer.
• Fragrance-free and allergy tested - no added scent at all, tested under dermatological control for sensitive skin.
• Paraben free - a short, deliberate ingredient list for skin that reacts to most eye products.
• 15 mL precision tube - the narrow nozzle doses a grain-of-rice amount, so one tube lasts through a full routine.
