Kerstin Florian Caviar Eye Crème
Kerstin Florian Caviar Eye Crème is an eye crème that claims to use the ultra-moisturizing properties of caviar extract to improve the under-eye area and make the skin look younger. The use of caviar as skincare is not a new concept. It is well known that Angelina Jolie often receives spa-treatment that features caviar extract. We are interested in learning more about how this product functions, as well as what the other ingredients are.
Ingredients
The key ingredient is the caviar extract. Skincare specialists have determined that this ingredient, though rich in vitamins and minerals, and high in fat and protein, is no more effective than cod liver for your skin. The appeal is primarily the association of caviar with decadence and luxury. A “Cod Liver Oil Crème” simply would not have the same appeal, though it might function equally well. This product also contains palmitoyl tripeptide-5, which stimulates collagen production and reduces wrinkles.
Pros
The caviar extract will moisturize the skin effectively, and the peptides will probably aid in anti-aging.
Cons
This crème is expensive – $120 for a half of an ounce. One skin care specialist said, regarding the trend of using caviar in skin care, “the best thing you can do with caviar is put it on a plate and eat it.” Though it is effective, cheaper ingredients are equally effective and you save money.
Conclusion
We would not recommend this product. We do not condone the idea of manufacturing products made up expensive ingredients that are no more effective than cheap ingredients. Companies should not claim that these ingredients are more effective simply because they are rare or expensive – they should let the facts speak for themselves.
