EVERYONE I mention the skincare company Gallinée to smiles like its their little secret and now I know why. French and sophisticated, in part for their development and patenting of a number of probiotic, prebiotic and postbiotic compounds, they are my new go-to for advanced microbial skincare.
Founded by Marie Drago, a doctor in pharmacy, Gallineé skincare works to rebalance your natural bacteria, enabling the skin to repair itself and blossom to its own optimum state.
Gallinée Eye Contour Cream (£22, 15ml)
I find eyes and their surrounding areas tricky as I’m constantly communicating in ways that crease, stretch, and strain this most delicate part of the face. Top this off with regular exposure to harsh lighting, increasingly extensive screen time and unpredictable outdoor elements, it feels timely to be testing Gallinée Eye Contour Cream.
Substantial, thick and longlasting, like Devon cream as opposed to regular double, it also gives a subtle lift and smells great. I suffer from dry eyes with sensitive skin that lines easily, so feel lucky that this eye cream does smooth the area and make it feel hydrated quickly.
A good trick is to apply a little extra around the contour bone, now and again during the day or whenever your eyes feel tired. Enriched with probiotics it also contains deep sea algae extract known for softening dark circles and reducing puffiness.
My eyes happily recommend this luxurious and modern treatment.
