It is soothing and non-greasy, as always for me an important factor. It penetrates your skin and feels like it keeps it soft all day long.
I usually have problems shaving and I’ve noticed a change in my skin texture when using Cocoon. I also use it on my feet and it makes …read more

I don’t know many women who aren’t a little obsessed with the skin around their eyes once they hit the age of 30. I have been lucky enough to always have good skin care in my beauty closet and am a true believer in eye cream. At 47 I have no crepy eyelids and no wrinkle around my eyes. Call it good genes but I have been pampering my eyes for years, and way before I turned 30. I have tried lots of eye creams to stop the signs of aging. Some of them have worked, and some have not.
