EYE CANDY
Revaleskin® Replenishing Eye Therapy
“Coffeeberry reduces undereye puffiness and swelling, and it also softens skin,” he says. “There’s also a licorice extract,?which soothes the delicate undereye skin. Use this during the day.”

“If you want a sleek, soft, hydrated look to the eye, this is the one that you use at night,” he says. “The silicone tightens the skin and increases elastin production.”
