Eye Care Review: Christian Dior Dior Capture Totale Eyes Essential Eye Zone Boosting Super Serum

Despite my love for Dior Beaute and Dior fragrances, this Dior Capture Totale Eyes Essential Super Serum is a déception totale to me. I used it for 14 days. No visible improvement of the fine lines under eyes. Believe it or not, although not an anti-wrinkle formula, Elemis Absolute Eye Serum has actually done a better job in ironing out my fine lines. Hmm, perhaps I'm supposed to use this Super Serum for a longer period of time. But at the very least, it's not as superb a serum as it's named. You may have a splendid experience with this Capture Totale Super Serum if you've used it for...say a month...or two...??? Do let me know then.

Sensation-wise, I don't quite like it either. It carries the fragrance of...Dior Forever and Ever, I think...which I personally dislike both as a body fragrance and in any of my skincare products. As with many anti-aging products, there was this short period of tightening sensation after application, which delighted me for a while. But the serum seemed to form a transparent film over my under eyes which came off when I applied my foundation - this is a minor yet annoying issue. Hmm, of course, one possible reason is that the particles of my foundation are too large to blend harmoniously with those of the eye serum. I don't know, but this product has been added to my list of dislikes. 

Background

My skin's beginning to have problems adapting to climate changes these two years. I've dry combination skin that's only oily at the T-zone. But the 'beauty war' broke out last summer when oil suddenly oozed out all over my face and my entire collection of skincare and cosmetics just didn't work, almost at a click of the mouse! Since then, I started hunting for the right products and natural remedies to replenish and maintain my skin condition. Natural beauty is like a luxury when the air is polluted, working hour is long, and more importantly, when you are sleep-deprived most of the time (I'm also referring to a quality sleep)! 

Basically, my 'battle fields' are my dark circles, the dry fine lines under eyes and the unhealthily pale and uneven skin tone. In this blog, I will review the products I've tried in the past, as well as my latest purchases.
