One of the more effective products I’d tried from Strivectin quite many years ago was the Strivectin-SD eye cream. It worked quite well for the fine lines around my eyes but as is wont to happen with me and eye creams, it fell by the wayside. I think I almost finished the tube but I never repurchased because I got slack and went without eye cream for ages. Oops! 😛
Well, there’s a new eye serum now out at the counter from Strivectin, which is the Strivectin-TL 360° Eye Serum that claims to tighten and visibly lift the sagging skin around the eye area, so eyes look younger.
I looked up some info on this, and it appears that this eye serum is targetted at those of 40 years and up, and those who have loss of firmness round the eye area, or droopy lids. Hmm… I’m not 40… yet! And I don’t think I’m experiencing droopy lids just yet so I’m not sure how effective this will be for me to try. But I’ll give it a go and see how it feels, if anything, and report back. For now, here’s a quick rundown on the product if you’d like to know more about it.
The Strivectin-TL 360° Eye Serum comes in a tube, with a metal tip that when applied to skin, helps cool and massage the eyelid area. This isn’t new in eye creams. We’ve seen them around for a while, and I’d tried a similar cooling tip eye serum from Dior once before. It was nice to press the cool metal against your skin and it might be the cooling effect but it does seem to help reduce puffiness around the eyes. Think of it as an in built teaspoon – you know that old trick for reducing eye puffiness right? 😉
Aren’t the customised macarons adorable? I was told they were from Crumbs
Anyway, back to the eye serum LOL! 😀
The 360° in the product name implies that this eye serum works to lift droopy sagging skin around the eyelid all around, so you have firmer, smoother and more lifted eyes therefore looking younger. Yes, apparently, our eyes do tell our age as well. At the rate we’re going, we’re going to need a serum for every part of us 😛
On the box, as apparent in all Strivectin products, it documents what you should observe with regular use of the product. So, the immediate effect is to tighten skin so it feels firmer and smoother. After 4 weeks, it should minimize undereye puffiness and after 8 weeks, eyelids should look more lifted and eyes look more youthful. Helpful perhaps, so you don’t look tired and sleepy all the time.
So there you have it. A brand new eye serum in the market which is now coming up with more and more eye serums. I’d never really heard of “eye serums” until recently and now with this and the Estee Lauder ANR Eye Serum in the market, it looks to be an interesting time. I haven’t tried either yet.
Have you tried an eye serum before this? Do you have a problem with droopy eyelids?
Some people may be genetically more prone to having droopy lids so I suppose its not as if you have to wait till you hit 40 before you get this, although it is more likely that someone in their 40s may notice more improvement compared to someone with already lovely bright, firm peepers. I don’t have droopy lids myself although puffy undereyes is a problem. I will give it a go for texture but I will not promise before/after photos because from experience, its hard to measure the efficacy when you don’t have the original problem to start. I may also rope in Mom to test it if she’s keen but we’ll see 🙂

They sent you those macarons with the press samples? That is SUCH a cute idea!! Love that! 😀 I’ve heard that Strivectin’s eye products are *amazing*–really really effective! I haven’t tried anything from the brand myself but I am curious about their….OH NO!! I just googled the name of the serum I was curious about and it seems they’ve discontinued it! Gaaaaahh!! (it was the Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum :/). That’s too bad…anyway, this eye serum looks really nice–I have been wanting to try an eye serum with one of those cooling tips for a while now. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it! 😀
They did and it was an adorable and yummy touch 🙂 I tried the SD version from years ago and it worked for me. Then (as usual) I got lazy so oops! It fell by the wayside 🙁 I actually have seen a few posts about the Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum since your comment it looks like they may have reformulated or relaunched it 🙂
I am also slack when comes to apply eye cream, maybe because the result is not significant. Thank god, I “haven’t” got droppy eyelid yet.. but definitely would want to see how this would work!
Yep, its not something we notice unless we have a problem with the eye area right?
Interesting! Can’t wait to read your findings. I haven’t tried anything from this brand before… And i have a habit of using up skincare before purchasing another. I have a lot to get through and quite a few in my list to try. Next up is Pai skincare which has been receiving great reviews. I’m curious 🙂
Yes, Pai Skincare is definitely having its moment right now 🙂 I’m sort of interested to try their face oil but I saw it has rosehip and that seems to really clog my pores badly so I’m not so sure about trying it >.<
This looks interesting! Would check it out! Love the macaroons!
They were yummy too! If you do check it out, would love to know what you think of it 🙂
Oh ya…I saw the poster for the ANR eye serum too, but was really confused. Am I suppose to use the ANR eye serum first then the actual ANR eye? Or maybe not? -shrugs- The SAs at the counter were too busy attending to purchasing customers, so I just walked off and didn’t thought of it much.
The ANR eye is expensive enough by itself, so I don’t think I’d spend on the extra “serum”. 😛
I have been curious about the ANR serum for a while but haven’t had the time to check it out. Like you, I went to the counter but no one was able to attend to me so I left and that was that. Seems like EL didn’t place a lot of emphasis on this product despite the ads – makes me wonder why.
This is interesting. I used to apply kind of an eye serum before my regular eye cream. To me, I really didn’t see much difference. An eye serum just seems like a more intense version of an eye cream, so I stopped.
Ooh that’s interesting that you’ve been doing it already, Angela! Which brand were you using?
Ok Paris that’s shame on you, you always complaint like you are old and you’re not even 40 yet!!! 🙂 I used only the retexturizing scrub from Strivectin and it was a godsent, so I kinda trust in Strivectin (yes with one good product you can gain all my trust :))
I also noticed that after face serums, eye serums are becoming a hit. I believe it started with Asian companies and moved pass to Western ones (as in BB cream). I am (almost) 30 years old and I only started using eye cream two years ago so eye serum is a bit reduntant for me right now but I always recommend Strivectin to my mom. Her skin type is oily so her problem is more about firming rather than wrinkles. I believe this serum can do some good for her eyes, that is rather a problematic area for her. Thanks for the review!
ahahahaaaa I’m old, you just don’t know how old LOL! 😉 Ooh you like the scrub? I love the scrub too! I used up the whole tube and it lasted me ages and ages 😀 I’m not sure I understand eye serums just yet. This one looks to be just another regular eye cream so I think it may perhaps be just a little more intensive so they call it an eye serum. I hope your mom will like this if she tries it!
