If there’s ever an actual fountain of youth close to its source, it might be Iceland’s Blue Lagoon. People come from all over the world to experience the legendary skin-repairing properties of the lagoon’s geothermal waters. While a weekly swim in the lagoon is nice, there’s good news for those who don’t live in Iceland or have access to a private jet: Blue Lagoon Iceland’s BL+ premium skincare line harnesses the anti-aging properties of these precious waters and brings them to you.
My latest obsession is the BL+ Eye Cream, which is made with mineral-rich water from the Blue Lagoon to lift, smooth and firm the eye area. The star of this cream is the exclusive BL+ Complex, which combines microalgae and silica from the Blue Lagoon to stimulate collagen production, prevent collagen breakdown and strengthen the skin’s barrier.

I’ve been using BL+ Eye Cream nightly for about two weeks now, and it’s fair to say I’m a believer. I love that the cream has a rich, hydrating texture, yet applies so easily it melts into the skin. But what really thrills me are the results I’ve seen: my under-eye area is much smoother, the lines around my eyes are less noticeable, and crow’s feet are practically gone. There must be some magic in this legend, because this cream has added years to the appearance of my younger eye area.
As you would expect from a product born from the wonders of nature, BL+ Eye Cream is vegan and cruelty-free. In addition to the BL+ Complex, the cream also contains 0.5% bactiol, a powerful anti-aging ingredient that works like retinol (but is much less likely to cause sensitivity) to brighten and improve skin tone and texture. Additionally, it contains niacinamide, which strengthens the skin barrier and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The formula also contains ceramides, which lock in moisture and plump the skin, and squalene, an antioxidant that works deep into the skin to lock in moisture. And, according to the brand, BL+ Eye Cream actually contains Blue Lagoon seawater, which is rich in electrolytes and enhances the formula’s performance.
I use a combination of my eye cream and BL+ The Cream every night. It’s a rich moisturizer that works wonders to plump, smooth, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This moisturizer is on sale at Nordstrom right now, so be sure to grab it.

Retail reviewers also praised the BL+ Eye Cream for being fragrance-free, with one shopper at Iceland’s Blue Lagoon retail store praising the product as “super creamy and hydrating.” Other users praised the cream’s soothing effects, luxurious feel, and how the area around the eyes looks “a little brighter and a little more alive” in the morning.
