TOV Hevatox Gold Eye Cream

Hevatox Gold Eye Cream

A hundred dollars for a lightweight cream built for the under-eye area specifically. Light is the point: it absorbs quickly and sits under concealer without creasing into it by lunchtime.

Desiree has been a licensed esthetician since 1995 and stocks two eye creams. This is the lighter of the pair.

Who it's for

Anyone whose under-eye area reads tired rather than lined — shadowed, a little puffy in the mornings, looking more exhausted than they feel.

It's also the answer for people who've given up on eye cream because every one they tried migrated into their eyes or made concealer slide off by midday.

Which eye cream should I choose?

Desiree stocks two and they suit different people.

This one is lighter, absorbs fast, and is the better choice for daytime and for anyone who wears makeup over the top.

The Promoter Repair Eye and Lip Cream is richer, works well overnight, and is the only one of the two that doubles for the lip line. It suits drier skin and anyone whose complaint is tightness rather than tiredness.

Plenty of people end up owning both and using one in the morning and the other at night.

How to use it

Morning and evening, after serum, before SPF.

A small amount on your ring finger — the weakest finger, so you press more gently by default. Tap it along the orbital bone, the ridge you can feel beneath your eye and under your brow. Never drag across the lid.

Give it a minute to absorb before concealer goes on. That minute is the difference between makeup sitting flat and makeup creasing.

Questions people ask

What does "Gold" refer to?

It's the name of this part of the Hevatox line rather than a description I can verify for you. The full ingredient list is printed on the box, and Desiree will happily go through it with you rather than have you guess.

Will it work under makeup?

Yes — that's what it's built for. Give it a minute to absorb first.

How is it different from the other eye cream?

This one is lighter and better for daytime. The Promoter Repair is richer, better overnight, and also treats the lip line. See above.

Will it help with dark circles?

It depends entirely on what's causing them. Shadowing from lost volume, pigmentation and genuine thinning are three different things with three different answers. Ask Desiree to look at yours rather than buying on hope.

How long will one last?

A long time. The amount needed per application is very small, and using more doesn't work faster.
