I already knew the brand ESSENCE for their affordable makeup and nail products which I have been very satisfied with, so when I saw they had a skincare line I wanted to try it out.
Claims: Hydrates and depuffs the under-eye area for a fresh look.
Container: 15 mL tube
Color: Transparent
Texture: Gel-like serum
Scent: Floral
Key ingredients:
• Glycerin: Moisturizing
• Cucumber juice: Hydrating, soothing
• Sodium hyaluronate: Hydrating
• Caffeine: Promotes blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
How I use it:
I apply a small amount on my fingertip and gently pat on the under-eye area until fully absorbed.
Verdict:
• What I liked about this product:
- I was impressed by the formulation of this product as it contains great ingredients that may help with under-eye puffiness and dark circles
- The tube packaging is well-designed to make it easy to apply an appropriate amount of product.
- A little bit goes a long way
- The product absorbs quickly into the skin
- It is extremely affordable: $5.99 for 15 mL of product.
- After 2 weeks of use I already noticed that my dark circles faded a little bit, which is encouraging. I will continue to use this product for better results
• What I didn't like about this product:
Despite that the fragrance is listed at the very end of the ingredients list, the scent is very strong and can even be smelled on the tube packaging. I find it quite irritating when applied on my under-eye area. I wish there was a fragrance-free version of this product.
