Vichy Neovadiol GF Lip & Eye Contour<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Vichy cream is designed to provide definition to ageing eyes and lips, coming in a little tube topped with a funny-looking nozzle applicator. An alloy of zinc, aluminium and magnesium in case you were interested, the applicator is cold to the touch and does a decent job of soothing eye bags in its own right. The shape is probably better suited to the lip than the eye contour, but a little dabbing of anything cold never really goes amiss when it comes to dark circles.<\/p>\n

The consistency of the cream is a little thicker than expected but apparently it transforms into a cooling gel on application. Except that it doesn\u2019t really. Applied with the nozzle, this was just far too thick for the metal to glide easily, causing it to catch and drag the skin. A big no-no in caring for the delicate eye area, I squeezed out more of the product to ease the friction. Sliding around the skin a bit better this time, the problem was now way too much product sitting heavily on the skin. <\/p>\n

Abandoning my nozzled endeavors altogether, the traditional ring-finger-pat was adopted. Applied this way it\u2019s actually quite nice, and there\u2019s some of that fabled cream-to-gel metamorphosis going on. And, applied to the lip contour, it\u2019s nicely moisturising with this tougher skin also withstanding the metal applicator.<\/p>\n

Separately, the cream is lovely and the nozzle is a great cooling idea. They just don\u2019t really work together around the eyes. Vichy products are available from pharmacies nationwide; the Neovadiol GF Lip & Eye Contour is \u20ac26. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
