Hi all,
I want to try something different for my face and eye. Can anyone who have used this line give me some recommendations bc I go spend my $$ ? I want something to brighten up the tireness/dullness.
Products that I am considering ARE, based on the feedbacks :
Obligio cooling eye gel
B21 anti-fatigue eye cream
B21 anti-fatigue serum
B21 skin recovery masque
Which is the MUST-have product ?? or are they just OKAY ?
Thanks in advance,
D  |

Also, for someone who has used both the Orlane obligio cooling gel and Clarins eye beauty flash, I would love to hear the comparison, thanks again !

| Oooh!! I'm really glad you started this thread, because I've been so close to ordering their B21 Oligo Cooling Eye Balm for so long, and I keep chickening out, and then keep regretting it. Hehe. Orlane is very hard to find in stores, unfortunately, so I can never get any samples. Saks is supposed to carry it, but everytime I go to one I keep getting told that that particular store doesn't carry it (I'm on 3 now.) I may try Neiman's or something, or just break down and order it. |

I  Orlane's B21 Oligo Cooling Eye Balm.
I have combo/sensitive skin with oily eyelids.  So I only need a wee bit of moisturizer. This eye balm's light and gel-like texture does the trick for me.  |

Orlane is a line that I simply cannot let go of!!! As long as I can remember, I've had at least a few Orlane pieces on my shelf......There are so many excellent products (in my humble opinion ) I don't even know where to start! The Morning Recovery Concentrate is excellent - light in texture, doesn't interfere with make up application and the result is a totally rejuvinated look -- it's GREAT around the eyes to disguise the "all-nighters" - this is one product that I always have in my bag on those days when I have to head out straight from work..If you've got $68 and you want to look pretty much instantly refreshed and rested without feeling or looking like you've been painted in egg whites - pick this up!! And don't be fooled by the size - you need just a couple of drops - FANTABULOUS!! OK - what next?! The Skin Recovery Mask - gorgeous stuff! And none of this "put it on and leave it on for 20 minutes" nonsense...I can slap this on when I get up in the morning and leave it for 3 to 5 minutes MAX and get a really refreshed toned look -- I use this in the morning when I have especially important meetings...And then there's the Claircilane line -- THUD. If you want bright and fresh without irritation, try this! I still use the Claircilane toner....and I am a heartbeat away from ordering at least the Claircilane serum to incorporate into my regime to take my skin from winter to spring....Anyways - I'll stop now...

Hi Diderot
I received my Oligo Cooling Eye Gel 2 weeks ago. I have been using it for the last week.
I was expecting a clear gel but was surprised that it was a smooth light cream/emulsion instead. It has a faint scent that was pleasant.
I have dry skin and the dryness around my eye area gets very obvious if I do not hydrate and moisturize it enough. Some of the richer eye creams have left dehydrated lines around the inner corners of my eyes despite what they were touted to do.
I applied Oligo every night and morning, all over my eyes, even on my lids. It does not leave any oily film as the gel gets absorbed quickly. I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to rested and well hydrated eyes for the last few mornings. Definitely lines were less obvious. Best of all, concealer went on without a hitch ( I hate it when the eye creams makes your concealer streaky or smudgy due to its waxy texture). And, I must add that my eye were not puffy either ( I get puffy eyes with some eye creams). Oligo definitely does a competent job of hydrating and moisturing the windows of my soul (without some unpleasant trade offs that some eye creams give). I would like to add that it quite holds its own even against the reigning eye cream king - Cellcosmet. On top of it doing a good job, I like it's price and scent better.
I think you will do well to try this one out - I would have place an order for this one if not for a parcel in transit (arriving any day now) containing Dermalogica's Power Firm for Eye and Lips. Will see how that one goes.
