Hello, jojoloves!
Sorry, I’m test driving that nickname. It’s a combination of my nickname growing up (one of many) and loves since I love to call people that!
Now that I think about it, why don’t I call you guys my jojo-buns? ^_^ Either or, huh?
Tossing that aside, let’s get down to business. Recently I joined the site BrandBacker.com—a site that connects bloggers and bloggers to companies that want people to give quality reviews on their products. That said, this is a sponsored post. In this post I’ll be talking about the wonderful Radha Beauty Intensive Youth Eye Gel along with two other products that were sent to me along with it since these two products, when used in conjunction, offered the best results.
Let’s bear in mind that I am in no way, shape or form, a qualified dermatologist, but I do have some knowledge on some of the ingredients used in all three of the products.
First things first: I have bad undereye circles. They’re pretty much set in stone hard to cover unless I have a heavy duty concealer that breaks the bank. Yes, I have some concealers like that. Unfortunately for me, I have a hard time applying concealer. I have a tendency to pile too much under my eyes causing my eyes to look even worse.
That’s how bad my eyes are. It’s to the point that I’m labelled the panda in my group. *sigh*
When I received the eye gel and read the ingredients, I was mildly ecstatic. Mildly because I knew that the darkness of my undereyes wouldn’t go away, but at least other factors of it could be helped. According to the site, the gel will help your eyes by
- Eliminating Dark circles, Puffiness, Dryness and Sagging around the eyes.
- Increasing elasticity and plumps the skin around eyes.
- Providing a youthful texture around the eyes.
- Moisturizing the delicate eye area to prevent premature aging.
- Useful for the entire face. Can be applied all over the face for an enhanced glow and a more radiant looking face.
That’s one hefty list for such a small bottle to live up to, wouldn’t you say?
The effects of the gel are due to plant stem cells, Matrixyl 3000 (firms and tightens skin around eyes), aloe, cucumber, vitamin E, and rosehip oil, and hyaluronic acid. All of these help to nourish and moisturize the skin under the eye. (The stem cells help with aging effects.) All of these ingredients combined form a lovely white gel that you can swipe under your eyes as well as any other parts of your face—which I learned recently. ^_^
After using it for a month, I have noticed that the area under my eyes is plump and no longer looking deflated and dehydrated. The texture of the skin there is smoother than it has been in years. The dark circles still exist since I hardly get any sleep, but overall the product delivered (since I was expecting that my dark circles wouldn’t go away)! I’m starting to use it on my forehead to see if it helps any since it can be applied elsewhere.
Before we proceed, here’s something worth noting: I was suffering from some serious acne for a few months that was caused by the Tea Tree Oil Acne set from The Body Shop. I had HUGE pimples scattered all over my face—some as large as a quarter—that were sometimes painful. When I was given the opportunity to get the following two products for free, I jumped on it because I was desperate to get out of my current situation.
That said...
Next up on deck is the Vitamin C serum!
Ah, what can I say about this serum? Well…
IT’S FREAKING AWESOME! I love it! It delivered on everything it promised. Well, at least for me. The site says that it...
• Stimulates the production of collagen which makes your skin more vibrant, firm and youthful.• Contains Antioxidants that will greatly reduce skin damage caused by the sun, pollution and impurities in the air.• Enhances your skins rate of exfoliation for a smoother, brighter and more radiant complexion.• Greatly Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles• Has a high percentage of Hyaluronic Acid which Deeply moisturizes the skin to reduce skin problems that occur due to age.”
Considering I’m still a tad too young to have any noticeable wrinkles except for maybe around the eyes, I cannot provide any feedback on that part of Radha’s claim, however the serum DID reduce any skin damage I had—especially all of my acne scars. My skin is finally going back to normal because of this puppy!
Or is it because of the Retinol moisturizer? Oh, this bad boy made my t-zone super oily, but boy did it help with the acne! It softened my enlarged pores and helped with my skin texture and tone as well.
Overall, I loved all three products and would definitely recommend them to other people!
Pictures, because we all love them.
See ya later, jojo-buns!
