Review | Filorga Optim-Eyes Refresh

Did you know that, on average, we sleep 1.5 hours less per night that we did 50 years ago? (I’m going to hazard that it’s even more since Covid.) Maybe not a huge number, but it says something about the lives we live now. While there is no quick fix for disrupted sleep patterns, there is one for tired, puffy eyes.

Fans of Filorga will know the cult classic Optim-Eyes Triple Action Eye Contour well. The product is son popular, it has been a best seller for 10 years, with one sold every ten seconds. To give their customers an on-the-go option, the brand has developed a portable stick version. Delivering the same triple action, anti-fatigue ingredients, Optim-Eyes Refresh (R430) delivers an immediate cooling boost to the eye area.

Decongesting carrageenan gel is joined by a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin, while mirco-powders have been added to illuminate tired skin. Or long-term anti-fatigue results, the formula also contains Filorga’s patented Melaton-Eyes technology, which includes a peptide that helps target tired, dull skin.

The handy stick formula can be used any time of the day as an instant pick me up. On mornings where I look a little worse for wear, I apply it after my eye cream to boost circulation around my eyes. The cooling effect is going to be great in warmer weather, when my eyes feel like they are carrying sand bags around.You’ll find the Optim-Eyes range at selected Clicks stores nationwide.
