I sometimes use concealer to disguise the dark circles under my eyes, but unfortunately it doesn’t really help hide bags, wrinkles or puffiness – so I was keen to try Eyesential for myself to see if it really was the miracle product the advertisements claimed.
Directions for using Eyesential
For best results, shake the bottle, dot the tiniest amount on your middle finger tip, and whisk it under your eye area with a feather light touch. This is important – on my first attempt I think I used too much, and dragged it across.
Even in some of the example videos on the website, it looks like they use too much pressure when applying Eyesential.
Don’t be alarmed if you are disappointed in the results on your first couple of attempts. It takes practice to get the application right.
My skin felt a little tight for the first few minutes (not unlike wearing a clay face mask) but that soon eases and you forget you’re wearing Eyesential, aided by the fact that it disappears when dry.
The Results
Initially, the area under my eyes DID look better – as you can see in the un-retouched photos above. So I guess the initial answer to “Does Eyesential really work?” is “Yes”.
However – I was disappointed that Eyesential didn’t live up to the claim of lasting “10 hours or until washed off”. My skin is quite oily and I suspect that is why – perhaps it would work better on dry skin. Within a couple of hours I felt it became “cracked” (again, like a clay face mask) and if anything made my under eye area look worse!
On further consideration, my under eye area is pretty much fine just the way it is – Eyesential would probably be more effective on more mature skin.
If you feel that Eyesential could work for you, it’s available from the Eternal Cosmeceuticals website or call 1300 ETERNAL; RRP $99.
