I have to be honest, the only bags I like are those that I can carry on my arm, or those with tea in it. Im not sure how or when .. but maybe parenthood (and late night drama shows) is taking a toil on my looks! And suddenly, I peer into the mirror and realize the woe every mother will tell you they go through ... eye bags and dark circles. 😱

Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles Review

When the good people of Remescar Medmetics wanted to send their Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles cream for a review, I thought why not! Lets see if it works. (Comparison pics below)

"Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles is an instant and effective cream which helps to diminish eye bags and the appearance of dark circles with just one single application per day. Its revolutionary technology EYESYL immediately targets eye bags & dark circles, by using a unique combination of clay minerals and a bi-peptide complex which will lead to strong skin tightening, a decrease of fluid accumulation under the eyes and a micromuscular pause. These actions will help to reduce the puffiness of the eyes and eliminate the appearance of dark circles."

So basically this cream works slightly differently from the other eye creams that I have tried before. A combination of clay minerals and bi-peptide complex helps with the following: 

- Skin tightening: As the serum is absorbed into the skin, clay minerals attach themselves directly to skin cells to help form a strong network, giving a visible skin-tightening effect 

- A decrease in water accumulation: A specialised tetrapeptide has an effect on the permeability of blood vessels around the eyes, preventing an accumulation of fluid. 

- Microvascular-pause: Fine lines are a result of an overstimulation of facial muscles under the eyes. The product has a specific multi-peptide that blocks muscular triggers, decreasing muscular contractions for a Botox-like effect.

Instruction-wise, its also very specific and is best advised to do as recommended. The Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles cream is to be used after your usual skincare regime and before makeup. A single application a day is enough for the product to work. Apply a small amount of the cream (the size of a grain of rice). Use a gentle tapping motion to apply the product, and wait for two minutes for the product to be absorbed. A key point to take note is that Remescar recommends the user to "remain expressionless for 2-3 minutes while the product dries to achieve dramatic results."

A small and nifty sized tube which I personally prefer over jars of eye cream. I don't like dipping fingers into skincare so this works best for me. Simply squeeze gently to desired amount and apply.

As you can see, I washed my face, applied my normal skincare (toner + moisturizer) and then used a small amount of Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles cream under my eye area where it is needed the most. I tried to remain as expressionless (LOL) as possible, so I looked at my handphone for a little while after application. I noted that I could actually feel the skin around my eyes tighten ever so slightly as the cream dried and after a couple of minutes I did look more awake and less tired. I can still see slight dark circles, but the puffiness was reduced significantly in my opinion. 

Remescar Eye Bags & Dark Circles is priced at $52 and is available at all Sa Sa stores, www.myhealthscoop.com, Redmart and beautiful.me.

Hope you enjoyed the review!
