ARTISTRY HYDRA-V Refreshing Eye Gel Cream
An anti-wrinkle cream is every mother’s secret-weapon and some serious science has gone into creating ARTISTRY’s Hydra-V™ range. Inspired by a Nobel-Prize-winning research, involving water channels called aquaporins (that’s not another made-up marketing term by the way), these new creams and serums deliver intense hydration to skin that needs some TLC. With rare ingredients like Norwegian fjord water, we recommend the Eye Gel Cream to soothe tired eyes and banish dark circles.
