Beauty Buzz: Biotherm Blue Peptides Uplift Firming Day Cream, Virtue Hydrating Healing Hair Oil, and Dr. Hauschka Regenerating Intensive Eye Serum
Beauty Buzz: Three buzzed-about beauty products we tried this week
Article content
Biotherm
Blue Peptides Uplift Firming Day Cream
They say: A firming day cream that features the brand’s peptide-rich Life Plankton ingredient to give skin a “firm and visibly lifted” appearance.
We say: Subbing this facial moisturizer in for her go-to product, our tester found this rich cream left skin feeling hydrated and smooth. With a strong, fresh scent, our tester found a little of the product went a long way to provide an instant hit of welcome hydration.
$105 | Shoppers Drug Mart, shoppersdrugmart.ca
Virtue
Hydrating Healing Hair Oil
They say: A “healing” hair oil that’s suitable for fine-to-thick and straight-to-coily hair. The multipurpose oil promises to hydrate, add shine, and protect hair.
We say: Boasting a super lightweight texture, this product gave our tester’s strands some much-needed weightless control and shine. A few drops smoothed into strands helped to tame frizz and add softness without any slick or stickiness.
$60 | Shoppers Drug Mart, shoppersdrugmart.ca
Dr. Hauschka
Regenerating Intensive Eye Serum
They say: An “intense” eye cream that features almond and white poppy oils, along with blackthorn blossom and sea buckthorn berry to hydrate and “fortify” mature skin in the eye area.
We say: Our tester, a woman in her 60s, found this smoothing eye serum provided an instant improvement to the hydration, tone and appearance of the eye area. A little goes a long way, she reports.
