LUMENE Nordic Hydra [Lähde] Purity Dew Drops Hydrating Eye Gel, Vegan 15ml

Love this as it does what it says. I do not sleep well and my eyes suffer as a result, but this gel definitely helps.

Good

Lovely product made my eyes feel comfortable

I began keeping photos of me applying this and then thought they just looked silly a series of photos. But the difference wasn't significant enough in the end however my eyes weren't as puffy and baggy as they were from disrupted night's sleep with a three year old who needs his mam and no one else at all. And there was no difference on the dark circles etc. Taking it as an eye gel, it was gentle are removing make up on an evening and my skin did feel good in this targeted area but to be honest try the night cream by Simple as this had a much greater effect.

I had tried this eye gel before, having purchased a sample-sized one a few months earlier, and after finally using all of that up (it lasts forever!) I purchased the full size.I really like this eye gel. It feels nice and cooling when applied around the eyes, and I have noticed it has lessened my dark circles too. Very pleased.

Very recently, opportunities arose to test and review two rather similar eye treatment products. One was intended to reduce eye tiredness, the second to reduce the signs of ageing and therefore positioned for direct comparison. Both this and the other anti-ageing product rely on one or more vitamins either as a prime ingredient or secondary within a prime ingredient, specifically royal jelly in that instance and it also claims 99% natural ingedients. This "Lumene Lähde Purity Dew Drops Hydrating Eye Gel 15 ml" includes mostly industrially-produced chemicals of the type commonly found in many skin treatments, skin washes and related products. The brand is Finnish and claims to include natural 'Nordic ingredients' in its products wherever possible although they need not predominate. It may be no more than a nod in the direction of pleasing the home market customers.Specifically mentioned as 'important' are arctic spring water which may offer greater purity than the 'aqua' commonly listed and used as a solvent for most ingredients but any further benefits of which remain imprecise and unclaimed; it may therefore be a marketing ploy of no implied value. The second is Nordic Birch extract, one of those ingredients not usually found in similar products and another of questionable benefit. The majority of the ingredients may be generally described as contributing moisturising properties. Also included is rice protein which has been used within other products and carageenan, a natural alternative to gelatine, which may be used as a thickener as it has no other known properties but is also a one-time common food ingredient now not recommended for consumption.As with the other products the suggestion is to use a small bead, for this about the size of a rice grain (is that short or long grain?) which is imprecise and may lead to under- or over-use depending upon individual interpretation. Application is to dot a proportion of that bead progressively within the eye socket or slightly beyond and then to gently massage it in with the same finger. The gel claims to help reduce black rings around the eyes; there may be a slight, rather than a significant, change but it may be due to a change in surface reflectivity following the gel's application rather than something intrinsic.As to the bottom-line important issue of whether it is effective - the answer is both yes and no! It does moisturise but the effect is short-lived and rather mild; it does not appear to have any major effect upon the crowsfeet or other such lines and wrinkles around the eye area. After a while, it leaves the skin feeling dry and taut not unlike the aftermath of using a peel mask, with the perhaps intended reaction for the user to re-apply.It is inexpensive, may offer small benefits to some, and may be worth trying for that alone but the family member used as its tester was barely impressed.

Lovely, cooling eye gel which really helps my tired eyes after a long day. The cooling effect is instant. I haven't seen much difference in my dark circles but perhaps no gel can cure those and only a week of sleep will lol!

This is a new product on me, you only need the tiniest amount and just dab gently around your eyes from corner to underneath. It was very cooling and soaked in well and I did feel a little tingle after putting it on but stopped after a minute or so but I did fell it tightening the area which is a good thing. non greasy and sinks in well. I like this product the tube will last ages as you need very little.
