What is Dr. Grandel High Excellence The Eye Cream?
Dr. Grandel High Excellence The Eye Cream is the eye-area care from High Excellence, the brand’s high-tech anti-aging line. This listing is the 50 ml professional cabin pack in a pump dispenser. The bottle is printed “For professional use only / Not for sale”, since Dr. Grandel supplies this size to salons rather than to store shelves.
The creamy texture nourishes the thin skin around the eyes and leaves it feeling supple. In addition, the formula combines three named complexes. As a result, one product addresses lines, puffiness and the look of dark circles.
Key benefits
- Visibly smoother lines: Smooth Relax Peptide is formulated to soften the look of expression lines right away and help limit new ones.
- Less-puffy look: the Eye Fit complex of peptides and citrus flavonoids helps reduce the look of puffiness.
- Brighter-looking under-eyes: the Drainage Complex visibly reduces dark circles, while it also firms the look of the contours.
- Supple comfort: macadamia nut oil suits delicate or dry skin, so the area feels soft after each use.
Key ingredients in Dr. Grandel High Excellence The Eye Cream
The INCI lists acetyl octapeptide-3, a biomimetic peptide of the type the brand describes as Smooth Relax Peptide. Alongside it, dipeptide-2 and hesperidin methyl chalcone, a citrus flavonoid, fit the brand’s Eye Fit description. Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 then adds a further peptide.
Meanwhile, soybean protein and hydrolyzed rice protein reflect the soy and rice peptides of the Drainage Complex, together with the enzyme superoxide dismutase. Macadamia seed oil and shea oil supply the rich, cushioning feel. The cream also contains fragrance.
How to use High Excellence The Eye Cream
- First, cleanse the eye area morning and evening.
- Then dispense a pea-sized amount.
- Next, pat it gently onto the skin around the eyes.
- Finally, continue with serum or cream on the rest of the face.
Keep the cream out of the eyes. For a cooling application, Dr. Grandel suggests its Excellent Massage Tool, which is sold separately.
Who it is for
Dr. Grandel intends this pack for professional use by licensed estheticians who use High Excellence in eye treatments or facials. The brand formulated the cream for every skin type. It especially suits clients with expression lines, puffiness or dark circles.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 50 ml professional cabin pack (article 41818), not the 15 ml retail jar (article 41820). Because an eye treatment needs only a pea-sized amount, 50 ml goes a long way in a busy treatment room. The pump also avoids dipping into a jar between clients. For home care, though, the 15 ml retail jar is the better match.
