Review: Derma E Soothing (Pycnogenol) Eye Gel

Note: Packaging has been updated since this image was taken.
If our eyes are the windows to our souls, it's no wonder that we want them to look their best! As women age, we tend to get more sensitive to fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness. Fortunately, there are some effective eye treatments that won't break the bank. One of these is Derma E's Eye Gel.

Pros:
  • A little goes a long way
  • Available in retail stores
  • Helps improve skin texture
  • Tightening effect
  • Gentle ingredients
Cons:
  • Better for wrinkles than under-eye circles
Summary:
This eye gel has a tightening effect that I could feel almost immediately after application. Although I don't suffer from puffiness, this product can further reduce puffiness by applying after refrigeration. I was glad to see that it is extremely gentle, rating only a 1 on EWG's Skin Deep database. The price is very reasonable for an eye treatment, especially since it is available in many retail outlets. Those looking for this product in stores should note that it now has a green packaging instead of the pink and white packaging shown here. The name also has been updated to "Soothing Eye Gel." The only real disadvantage I saw with this product is that it didn't seem to have any effect on my dark under-eye circles, but it's not advertised for this purpose. If you're looking for a gentle eye treatment designed for anti-aging benefits, this is a great option.

Also available on Amazon.com.

UPDATE: A rep from Derma E has informed me that they have a separate product for under-eye circles: the Evenly Radiant Dark Circle Eye Creme.
