Ole Henriksen’s Visual Truth Eye Cream
This is a new eye care product that I have heard much about recently. It is by Ole Henriksen and contains a big wallop of Red Tea extract. This is what Sephora says:
[…]it contains nature’s highest concentration of skin-saving antioxidants that repair collagen damage and strengthen the skin. Facialist to the stars, Ole Henriksen, loved the tea so much, he bottled it in his newest face and eye cream after clients raved about its skin-firming benefits, particularly around the eyes. “The great thing about African red tea is its ability to stimulate the cell turnover rate without causing any irritations. The result is firmer skin with a more refined texture and less visible pores,” says Henriksen. “It has an amazing ability to calm and soothe skin that’s prone to rashes and irritations, including rosacea, and really is a miracle ingredient for sensitive skin.”
In addition to calming irritated skin, it’s also said to be a wonder tonic for colicky babies and troubled tummies with its anti-spasmodic properties. From body aches to complexion pains, this wonder tea is sure to be your new health drink of choice. But thanks to Ole Henriksen, you won’t just be drinking it, you’ll be slathering it on like nobody’s business.
Ole Henriksen gives red tea a much bigger vote of confidence than Dr. Weil does, but again, Dr. Weil also said that there was not near the research on red tea as their has been on green tea. What we do know is that there isn’t much harm in giving it a try, and I am out of eye cream! You can buy Ole Henriksen Visual Truth Wrinkle Resistance Eye Creme at Sephora.com, for a pretty reasonable price of $45 for a .5 oz jar (I know, eye cream is expensive). Have any of you tried this?

Ole Henriksen… Is he Norwegian? It’s a common Norwegian name… :)

I would venture to say yes, Agathe - but naturally, his spa is in L.A., not Oslo. :) I hope you are doing well, Agathe!

Ah, he had to be either Danish or Norwegian. :) It sounds so weird having a beauty product line named that cause I picture an old farmer living alone in the woods or something. It has do ring differently in the ears of Americans. :P

Not for me, Agathe - I was REALLY surprised to see that young, hip guy at his web site. Older Norwegian farmer was about what I was expecting too. :)

OK, my Norwegian Elkhound said for you guys to knock it off.
What I want is an answer to bags and swelling above the eyes. I can’t find anything that will help this. Most products are for under eye bags, I’ve got steamer trunks above my eyes. Help!

Betty - have you ever tried Preparation H? Don’t get it in your eyes, but I have heard people get pretty good results on the top of the eye… If that just sounds too bizarre to be true, do some Googleing on it - a lot of people use it as it decreases swelling and just tightens everything up just a bit. :)

I just received a sample of this eyecream from ordering my usual Ole Henriksen products and I have to say it is fabulous!! It really has hydrated my eye area, reduced morning puffiness and is actually diminishing the appearance of the “crows feet” I now am starting to develop when I smile. I love this product and in fact all of Ole Henriksen’s products! I plan on making this my routine eyecream along with the express the truth all-over facial cream. Love it!!
