During our young, invincible years, our skin springs back naturally, thanks to elastin, a protein found naturally in the skin.

But our bodies stop producing it while we are still in our teens. And unless we intervene, it’s all downhill from there.

Enter Relastin Eye Silk Zinc Firming Complex, which clinical tests report improves the appearance of skin’s firmness, as well as the resiliency of the delicate eye area. Formulated with zinc firming complex, Relastin is formulated to reduce the appearance of dark circles and improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

It’s easy to smooth on and can be applied under makeup. Use your ring finger to avoid pulling the skin around your eyes.

After two to four weeks, 80 percent of the women who tested Relastin reported that fine lines and wrinkles were not as noticeable. (I suggest you stick with it for at least four weeks before making an evaluation. Good skin care requires consistency and stick-to-it-tiveness.)

That said, the results speak for themselves. For the past four years in a row, Relastin Eye Silk was the winner of Allure magazine’s Best of Beauty Award for best eye cream. 

MSRP: $69. You can find Relastin at  www.precisionMDskin.com and lots of other beauty outlets.
