Valmont's own routine for the range runs V-Firm Serum first, V-Firm Eye second, V-Firm Cream last, and its serum directions say to keep the serum off the eye contour, so the eye contour is the part of the routine this gel covers. It sits with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/skin-firming\"\u003ethe eye and neck end of the firming range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValmont's directions: mornings and evenings, or either, apply half a pump to the eye contour with delicate taps of the fingertips, after \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valmont-v-firm-serum-30ml\"\u003eV-Firm Serum for face and neck\u003c\/a\u003e. It goes on before V-Firm Cream when you use the full range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Valmont Says It Does\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is what Valmont calls a melting honey-gel. Valmont lists three actions for it:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces elasticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrengthens the skin's structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifts the eyelid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValmont reports an elasticity increase of 17.8 percent over three months, measured on 22 women of average age 54 who applied V-Firm Eye twice daily for 84 consecutive days. That is Valmont's own test on its own product, not an independent trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Is In It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValmont names three parts of the formula. A Density Complex built on vitamin C, the amino acids lysine and proline, a glucosamine derivative, Immortelle flower extract and copper. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which Valmont describes as forming a tensing and lifting film. And a peptide cocktail Valmont labels its anti-wrinkle booster. The ingredient list carries ascorbyl glucoside, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, sodium hyaluronate and helichrysum stoechas extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValmont puts this at all ages and skin types, and points it in particular at eye contours prone to dryness, droopy eyelids with loose skin, sunken eyes and crepey under-eye skin. One thing worth knowing before you commit: Valmont describes the whole V-Firm range as highly concentrated in vitamin C and says anyone sensitive to vitamin C can adjust their routine around it. The gel also sits in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/skin-barrier-repair\"\u003eour skin barrier repair shelf\u003c\/a\u003e, since hydration is part of what Valmont built it to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions About V-Firm Eye\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much do I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalf a pump for the whole eye contour, per Valmont's directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it with the V-Firm Serum?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and Valmont's routine sequence puts the serum first. Valmont's serum directions cover the face and neck and tell you to avoid the eye contour, so the two do not overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMorning or evening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eValmont's directions allow mornings and evenings, or just one of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a gel or a cream?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eValmont describes the texture as a melting honey-gel, not a cream.
