My currently favorite eye cream (Shiseido Ibuki Eye Cream) is about to hit the pan (or tube?) and it's about time to keep an eye for a replacement. When I found out that Lavido had a special offer on their travel size eye cream, I just couldn't pass on that change.

Keep on reading to find out what were my impressions of Lavido's Eye cream and if it's a catch or a miss.

קרם העיניים הקבוע שבו אני משתמשת (Shiseido Ibuki Eye Cream) בשגרת הטיפוח שלי עומד להיגמר ממש בקרוב, וזה בדיוק הזמן לחפש לו תחליף. כאשר גיליתי שקרם העיניים של לבידו נמכר בגודל נסיעות מיוחד ובמחיר מיוחד עוד יותר, לא יכולתי לוותר על ההזמדנות. המשיכו לקרוא כדי לגלות מה חשבתי על הקרם הזה והאם כדאי לכן לשים את ידיכן על המציאה הזו.

Originally I planned a visit to Lavido's store to get a pampering skincare set to add as a gift for my cousin's bridal shower, and honestly I was quite surprised by the price of these lovely gift kits which contained a variety of great products. I spotted a kit that included a few products from the Patchouli & Vanilla range which I really love, and for the price of only 60 ILS (~$15) I got a nice kit with three products; Body scrub, hand cream and body cream. I decided to throw in the travel size eye cream which I tried at the store and already knew I'm going to love it, so I figured she might enjoy it too.

If you are following my blog for a while now, you've probably stumbled upon Lavido's products in my reviews, and for those of you who are not yet familiar with the brand I'll briefly mention that Lavido produce all natural and organic skincare products, based in the Galilee, Israel. Lavido's products are distributed in several stores in the United States and also can be purchased at their online store where they also ship worldwide.

Lavido's Eye Cream has pleasantly light texture, somewhat a hybrid of cream and gel. Thanks to it's formula it's very easy to apply on the skin, it immediately sinks in and leaves the skin feeling hydrated without the oily effect which can accrue with other eye creams I've tried that require more time to adsorb. The travel size eye cream comes in a little squeezable tube with a narrow nozzle, allowing to extract an exact amount of product, which is very convenient and prevents unnecessary loss of product.
I've been using this eye cream day and night for the past couple of days and I'm pretty pleased with it so far - Lavido's eye cream managed to surprise me with it's excellent texture that absorbs right away and it's mild natural scent that is barely noticeable (note that some natural and organic products might have a bit harsh scents due to the use of only natural ingredients and no artificial fragrances).
The thin delicate skin around the eyes feels well hydrated without leaving a heavy feeling, plus knowing that this product contains only natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals is a calming fact.
This eye cream contains Hyaluronic Acid, it's dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types.
Like with other products that are concocted at Lavido's laboratories, this eye cream contains many nourishing ingredients from natural and organic sources like Pomegranate Seed, Rose Hip, and Citrus. According to Lavido this eye cream moisturizes and relieves puffiness around the eye area while hydrating the skin with a lightweight water based formula, and after using it for a while I completely agree with that saying.

Beside the fact that this cream turned out to be a huge hit in my skincare routine, it's price is even more amazing. The full sized eye cream comes in a 30ml bottle equipped with a pump ($46 at their online store), while the travel size tube contains 10ml and currently available here in Israel for only 20 ILS (~$5)! Taking in mind that normally a full size of an eye cream is 15ml, this is a generous size for such an amazing price, making is a real bargain! This made me want to get as many of these travel size tubes as I can, as I rarely get a hold of such a great deal, but eventually I left the store with one tube and a promise to myself that I must repurchase Lavido's eye cream next time, even if just as a backup.
As for availability, I honestly don't know if that special size eye cream is available outside of Israel, but I'll do my best to find that out for my international readers.
Overall I'm more than happy with this eye cream, and I think that for such a great bargain price everyone should try it, even if you already have a favorite eye cream in your skincare routine. You might end up loving this one even better!
