LONG BEACH, Calif., March 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Obagi Cosmeceuticals LLC ("Obagi"), a leader in skincare innovation and the originator of medical-grade skincare and a subsidiary of Waldencast plc, (NASDAQ: WALD) ("Waldencast"), today announced the launch of Daily Hydro-Drops® Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream. As the latest addition to the bestselling Daily Hydro-Drops® portfolio, known for the brand's beloved "liquid gold" Facial Serum, the Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream is meticulously formulated with clinically proven moisturizers, oils, brighteners, and antioxidants to precisely target the delicate skin around the eyes.
While dry skin can appear anywhere, treating around the eye is one of the most challenging areas because it's the thinnest area of skin on the body, with fewer oil glands than other areas of the face to keep it moisturized and protected. Daily Hydro-Drops® Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream offers a transformative solution to the eye area, bringing an immediate boost in radiance, while simultaneously rejuvenating the eye area with 24-hour lasting hydration for a more awakened appearance. The product offers a thoroughly researched and developed solution to address key skin concerns such as dry and tight skin, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
"We had a white space in our portfolio for a brightening and hydrating eye product and we are excited to grow our bestselling Daily Hydro-Drops® collection with this new eye cream," said the CMO of Obagi, Justin Giouzepis. "As the authority on medical-grade skincare, it was critical for us to create a product that provides transformational results. With just one swipe, Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream delivers brighter, smoother, and more hydrated skin around the eyes. Plus, we added a cooling, dual-sided metal applicator to help massage the cream into skin making it so easy and convenient to use."
Ophthalmologist and dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic, Daily Hydro-Drops® Rejuvenating Eye Cream is formulated with a rich combination of lipids and emollients, skin-tightening sugars, and antioxidants to refresh and quench the fragile skin around the area. Featuring Obagi's Isoplentix® technology, key ingredients remain suspended and preserved in the formula, only releasing their benefits upon application. With Niacinamide, Meadowfoam Seed, Abyssinian and Hibiscus Oils to help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as an oat Derivative for smoothing effects and Tuberose to reduce unwanted puffiness, the skin around the eyes is rejuvenated. Complementing the formula is the contoured metal applicator, which provides an instant cooling and soothing effect for a more refreshed feeling and appearance.
