Rita Ora Swears By This Eye Serum That Looks Like It’s “From Outer Space”

Celebrities may bring us an endless stream of makeup and hair trends to try, but one thing they never seem to be without is glowing skin. Given that they have access to the best in the biz when it comes to dermatologists and facialists, it’s not totally surprising. But it also doesn’t come without a dedicated regimen of products that even us civilians have access to. One brand that’s part of multiple celebrities’ beauty routines is COSMEDIX, a luxury skin care line created by aestheticians, whose goal is to combine technological advances similar to those found in-office with plant-based ingredients that are non-irritating and amazing for the skin. And from now through June 9th, Bustle readers will receive 25% off at COSMEDIX.com by applying the code COSBUSTLE at checkout.

Among COSMEDIX’s dedicated following is Rita Ora, who recently took to her Instagram stories to tell her more than 16 million followers about the brand’s Opti Crystal Eye Serum. The iridescent formula, which works to instantly plump up and brighten the delicate, tired skin beneath your eyes, has become a best-seller for the brand. Ahead, learn more about the Opti Crystal Eye Serum, as well as the COSMEDIX products that help to give Hailey Bieber, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Victoria Beckham their glowing skin.

Fact Facts:

• Key benefits: hydrates, protects, brightens
• Key ingredients: copper complex, spin trap, liquid crystals
• Can be used morning and night
• Cruelty-free

At first glance, the Opti Crystal Eye Serum’s pearlescent glow is certainly convincing enough to give it a try, and Rita Ora confirms that its unique shimmer “looks like it’s from outer space.” But the luxury serum is also seriously effective when it comes to hydrating the delicate under-eye skin and brightening up unwanted dark circles. “It’s not the cheapest thing in the world, but it’s REALLY good,” said Ora.

One of the key technologies in the serum is a copper complex, which helps to firm skin as the liquid crystals in the formula provide intense hydration and brightening benefits. Meanwhile, spin trap (a type of antioxidant) and alpha-lipoic acid protect the skin around your eyes from harmful free radicals, which are produced by a variety of factors, including exposure to UV radiation and pollution. That free radical exposure leads to oxidative stress, which can show up on the skin in the form of a loss of elasticity and an uneven skin tone and texture. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that protects the skin by neutralizing free radicals, while spin trap takes things a step further by neutralizing those free radicals and then converting them into useful cellular energy. And finally, the serum also includes moringa seed oil, aloe vera, neem extract, and jojoba seed oil to help with moisturizing, calming, and providing antioxidant protection.

Discover More Celeb-Loved Products From COSMEDIX

While the Opti Crystal Eye Serum can certainly help you get glowing, it’s not the only COSMEDIX product that’s celebrity-approved. Here are a couple of other favorites.

Another favorite from the brand is the Purity Clean Exfoliating Cleanser, which has been spotted on model Rosie Huntington Whiteley’s skin care shelf and was even used by Hailey Bieber as part of her pre-wedding skin care prep. The bright green cleanser uses a 5% concentration of lactic acid, a chemical exfoliant that helps to create a more even skin tone and texture by gently removing the top layer of dead skin cells. The exfoliation from the lactic acid helps to promote skin clarity, as do the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients tea tree oil and neem leaf extract, which aid in reducing excess oil and quelling acne. Plus, the cleanser refreshes and moisturizes the skin with ingredients like peppermint oil, glycerin, and aloe vera.

Though the exfoliating cleanser was designed to be non-irritating, you’ll want to start by incorporating it into your routine just once or twice each week, and slowly working your way up depending on how your skin tolerates it. But, if you’re looking for a cleanser that’s more suitable for daily use (and definitely more helpful when you’ve got makeup that needs removing), there’s the Purity Solution Nourishing Deep Cleansing Oil. Part of Victoria Beckham’s skin care routine, the two-in-one formula uses botanical oils to break down makeup, sunscreen, and other impurities without stripping the skin of the moisture it needs. To let the blend of moringa seed, kukui seed, and argan oils get to work, massage the cleanser into your skin while it’s still dry and add a bit of water to emulsify the oil before rinsing your face clean.
