Find our why our Eye Cream is perfect for during pregnancy and beyond.

Sleepless nights in pregnancy, or in motherhood can cause strain on our skin and under eye area, but with pregnancy and breastfeeding comes challenges with being able to use certain ingredients that are in skincare and confusion on what is ok to use and what is not.

Skincare can be a grey area in terms of transparency so for Lucy Bee it was important that customers felt confident in what they can use on their skin, effective natural and organic products which were independently reviewed, so that they never have to worry. 

Changes to the Skin During Pregnancy

Pregnancy can cause the skin to change, sensitivity, hormonal breakouts, dry, tired skin so we have created results-driven innovative products to help you through pregnancy and beyond as we didn’t feel it was fair mums/parents have to compromise so we created an effective retinol alternative eye cream which has been independently reviewed and safe to use in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

 

What makes the Anti-Ageing Eye Cream special?

The Lucy Bee Pregnancy Safe Anti-Ageing Eye Cream has a serum consistency, and so is not heavy under the eyes. Helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, puffiness and dark circles whilst hydrating and repairing the skin. It will help to condition, replenish and protect the delicate eye area. 

 

Why a Retinol Alternative

The key ingredient Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract is a botanical alternative to retinol that doesn’t cause redness or irritation. It has data studies which give the benefits of retinol by reducing the signs of ageing by stimulating cell renewal and collagen synthesis and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.   

 

Safe to Use During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Our Eye Cream has been independently reviewed as safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which means that you can confidently include it in your skincare routine.

Unscented and Dermatologically Approved

Free from fragrances which can cause irritation, our Eye Cream has been dermatologically approved suitable for sensitive skin, perfect for when your skin may be more prone to sensitivity.  

 

Other Key Ingredients and Benefits 

• Squalane locks in moisture, helping with skin suppleness and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Pumpkin, carrot and broccoli seed oils are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants to help repair and condition the skin, whilst protecting against environmental damage.
