Christian Dior Hydra Life series is designed for women in their mid twenties to early thirties prone to dehydrated skin. Formulated with three concentrated plant extracts - Jisten, Centella and Black Rose, these ingredients infuses the skin with intense hydration by enhancing water movement in the skin's surface and delaying the first signs of aging by stimulating collagen production. Skin is left feeling instantly refreshed, supple, and smooth.

- Jisten : Helps to promote aquaporins, real hydric channels to optimize diffusion and maintain water in each cellular level.
- Energized water joins forces with the anti-free radical power of Black Rose to help slow down the oxidative processes. It also helps to boost the densifying activity of Centella.



I purchased this eye cream from Hong Kong drugstores ( either Sasa or Bonjour ). It was the only hydrating eye product in miniature form that I could find, so naturally, I picked it up.
At 2ml, it was still able to last me for about 3 weeks, with daily night use. While I don't fancy cream form around the eyes, I thought I would try something heavy duty around the eyes, at least hoping to see an improvement to my dry undereye skin. This is my first eye treatment product from Dior.

With the risk of incurring millia seeds, I tried to be careful in applying it sparingly and observing the condition of the undereye area during the 3 weeks of usage. However, due to my carelessness and forgetfulness, I have, at times, apply more than its necessary, thinking it was an eye gel. I haven't been using cream-based eye products for a long time, ever since I am aware of millia seeds.
And guess what, I have a millia seed at the corner of my left eye. I am so upset, as I am writing this post.

The white cream smells artificial, which really puts me off. It reminded me of electronic components I used in my work. The soft texture is of light to medium consistency and gets absorbed into the skin well. It does not feel as rich as an eye cream, falling between a gel to cream texture. I did not feel that its hydrating enough but then again, I believe eye treatment products usually needs time to show its effectivness. I did not feel or see any of the benefits as claimed. An overrated product, in my opinion.
