PRODUCT REVIEW: KORA ORGANICS BERRY BRIGHT VITAMIN C EYE CREAM - BEST ORGANIC EYE CREAM, BEST BRIGHTENING EYE CREAM WITH VITAMIN C
KORA ORGANICS | BERRY BRIGHT VITAMIN C EYE CREAM
Back in the spring, I reviewed the super cool, refillable KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Moisturizer.
As I said in my article on it, the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer a treasure trove of natural ingredients, many of which are derived from organic farming. And it just happens to be one of the best organic face creams and best antioxidant moisturizers with the power-antioxidant, Turmeric Root Extract. It’s simply a next-level, modern face cream from A to Z.
And, like the brand’s new Berry Bright Vitamin C Eye Cream, the Turmeric Glow Moisturizer is fully refillable, sustainable — and replaces water with Aloe Vera Leaf Juice. I love when a brand’s chemists are wise enough to replace useless water with aloe vera or a fermented extract. These are nourishing for the skin and, in the case of aloe, have a humectant benefit and even some antioxidant activity on the skin. Water delivers nothing more than a temporary, ten-second humectant benefit and wastes precious resources.
KORA Organics is really stepping up in terms of sustainability; they’re helping to lead the way.
And there’s no more relevant place to focus on sustainability than at the beach. We’ve all seen it: horrible plastic garbage washing up on shore. I recently returned from a much-needed vacation in Cancun, Mexico. (I know we all need a break from the madness. I hope you each find some peace and quiet, too!)
THE BEST AZELAIC ACID SERUMS AND CREAMS FROM PAULA'S CHOICE, THE ORDINARY AND NATURIUM – WHAT IS AZELAIC ACID?
While I didn’t find the beaches of Cancun overly littered with plastic waste, the experience was a reminder to me how important it is that skincare brands like KORA Organics do their part to slow the proliferation of plastics in our oceans and landfills. And to use as little water as possible in their products.
Bravo to KORA Organics for all of that!
The new KORA Organics Berry Bright Vitamin C Eye Cream is an exceptional formula. First, of course is the replacement of water with Aloe Vera Leaf Juice. I think it gives the formula a distinct texture and finish on the skin..
Berry Bright has a medium weight, velvety texture that’s not too rich, not too light. For me, it’s perfect as we transition into cooler weather here in NYC. The brand says it’s infused with 5.5% Vitamin C, which is a nice amount for brightening the eye area.
What Does Vitamin C Do for Skin and Does Vitamin C Really Help Skin?
There’s an excellent article on the remarkable benefits of Vitamin C for the skin from the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team titled, What is Vitamin C and How Does it Benefit Skin?
Vitamin C is one of the most exciting, research-proven ingredients you can apply to skin. This water-soluble antioxidant is a natural component of healthy skin. When we’re young, vitamin C levels in skin’s outermost two layers (epidermis and dermis) are abundant, but as we age, these levels naturally deplete. Unprotected sun exposure (UV damage) and pollution can accelerate this decline, leading to skin looking and feeling dull, uneven, and less firm than it once was.
Luckily, there are topical skin care solutions that can help mitigate this damage, so skin looks and feels healthier and younger longer.
Vitamin C Benefits for Skin
Vitamin C’s benefits for skin are vast, including its ability to even out skin tone and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While this powerhouse ingredient is well-known for its skin-brightening benefits, research also shows it can shield skin from the visible impacts of environmental stressors, including free radical damage. This synergy of mitigating problems both before and after they occur makes vitamin C a force to be reckoned with.
But what I really love is the plethora of non-fragrant plant oils and numerous pro-skin health ferments. At ingredient number two after Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, is Rosehip Seed Oil — one of the best anti-aging face oils.
The inclusion of fermented actives like Lactobacillus Ferment help to nourish delicate eye area skin while antioxidant botanicals help protect the thin skin around the eyes from environmental damage.
If you’re interested in a fully sustainable, refillable, organic eye cream, the KORA Organics Berry Bright Vitamin C Eye Cream is the perfect option.
