The cream and eye contour combo of the most iconic Diamond Extreme line has been improved for better results on the signs of ageing. In the cream you get firmer, more elastic, hydrated and rejuvenated skin. During the day it protects and repairs at night.
The eye contour: intensely moisturises, fights wrinkles, expression lines, bags and dark circles and also provides elasticity and firmness. The result is a dazzling look full of life.
The cream from the Essential Shock Intense collection is super moisturising for mature skin that is drier or suffering from the effects of hormonal fluctuations. It nourishes and firms the skin, redefining facial contours and providing essential nutrients to make the complexion look more hydrated, elastic, toned, rejuvenated and revitalised.
