The Body Shop Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel

For the sake of having to put something on my dark circles, I decided to pick this product from the sale racks of The Body Shop especially that its packaging is so decent that I thought it would never go on sale.  Cooling and Unscented?  Let's see:  The Body Shop's Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel.

"Fragrance free, wide-awake refreshment to soothe, cool, and refresh those delicate peepers. With gentle elderflower extract and witch hazel."

Gently pat around eye area as needed

Hmmm, it's not really fragrance-free because I can smell alcohol upon opening the 15ml tub but upon application, the scent disappears.  It is a gel type so it's transparent and lighter than cream and is quickly absorbed by the skin.

transparent gel

It's main ingredient; Elderflower, has a cooling effect and can be used as a wash for irritated eyes.  And yes, it definitely has the cooling effect that relieves my tired eyes in an instant but I think it doesn't moisturize my under-eye area so I put some Sunflower Oil first before this gel and somehow this combo helped my eyes to look less tired.  Although I finally decided to get an eye cream that promises to lighten and lessen the appearance of dark circles and fine lines, I still uses this gel (and the sunflower oil) during daytime because of its cooling effect which is its main purpose.

Thanks for reading.  Till then.  Bye!

The Multi-Purpose Gel: Nature Republic's Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

Annyeong Haseyo! I just recently found joy in Korean Products and the first that landed into my hands is this Multi-Purpose Soothing and Moisture - Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel (the name already explained everything about this product hahaha)

Got curious with this product because it was sold out 39 times (whoah).

The Gel is clear and watery and has an aloe like smell (refreshing).  I use it everyday as a body moisturizer and as an eye mask (I put the gel on a cotton pad) to soothe my tired eyes.  I also tried it as a moisturizing pack by mixing 2 part of the aloe gel and 1 part of baby oil.

Here are other ways to enjoy this product:

One tub of this by the way goes a long way (300 ml good for 1 to 2 months).

What I Like:

Soothes and moisturizes skin (lotion still needed if you have very dry skin like mine)
Has fresh and refreshing scent
AFFORDABLE, P220 for 300ml (P295 as of September 12, 2012)
Paraben Free
Mineral Oil Free
Light and Non-Sticky
