What is Dr. Grandel Hydro Active Eye Contour Cream & Mask?
Dr. Grandel Hydro Active Eye Contour Cream & Mask is a dual-purpose eye treatment from the brand’s Hydro Active line. Dr. Grandel formulated it as a lightweight cream you can wear daily. When you apply it more generously, you can also leave it on for around 15 minutes as an eye mask.
Dr. Grandel packages it in a tube. The brand also notes that keeping it in the refrigerator makes the texture feel even more refreshing on application. This is a nice trick for tired mornings or after a long flight.
Key benefits of Eye Contour Cream & Mask
- Intensive moisture boost: leaves the delicate skin around the eyes feeling supple rather than tight or dry.
- Visibly reduced dryness lines: Hyaluron also helps plump the look of fine dryness lines around the eyes.
- Brighter-looking under-eyes: the formula visually reduces dark circles for a smoother, more radiant eye area.
- Less puffiness: the Eye Fit complex is formulated to reduce congestion and puffiness, so the eye area looks more relaxed.
Key ingredients
According to Dr. Grandel’s own ingredient notes, Classic Hyaluron is a high-molecular hyaluronic acid. It forms a moisturizing film on the skin’s surface for an instantly smoothing, hydrating effect. In addition, the Eye Fit complex combines flavonoids from citrus fruits with peptides to help reduce congestion and puffiness.
Corn germ oil and wheat germ oil are precious plant oils naturally rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. Dr. Grandel chose them to support the skin’s elasticity and leave it soft and supple over time. Finally, an algae-seawater complex rounds out the formula, supporting the skin’s own moisture-holding factors.
How to use Eye Contour Cream & Mask
- Cleanse the skin as usual.
- Then apply an amount the size of a hazelnut generously to cover the eye area.
- As a mask, leave it to work for approximately 15 minutes. Then massage in the residue and leave to work overnight, or remove it with a warm, damp cloth or tissue.
- Follow with a suitable eye care product if desired.
- Avoid direct eye contact when applying.
Who Eye Contour Cream & Mask is for
Dr. Grandel recommends Eye Contour Cream & Mask for combination, normal, oily and dry skin, and for every skin type. As a result, it is a flexible choice for most shoppers with dryness lines and dark circles around the eyes. Its light, unisex formula and mask-or-cream flexibility also make it useful as a quick daily step and an occasional intensive treatment.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 50 ml (1.7 fl oz) tube. It is a larger, higher-volume size than Dr. Grandel’s standard 20 ml retail eye tube. It suits shoppers who use the product often, both as a daily eye cream and as an occasional 15-minute mask. That is because the larger tube covers both uses without running out quickly.
