‘What is this sorcery?’ shoppers rush to buy $20 anti-aging balm that ‘completely softens eye wrinkles and dark circles’
BEAUTY fans are raving over an eye care product at a steal — costing just $20.
The skincare staple promotes anti-aging through antioxidants as well as hydrating properties.
The Smooth Landing Advanced Retinoid Eye Balm, $19.99, is available from Versed Skin.
The product contains granactive retinoid, Vitamin E, blackcurrant seed oil, and shiitake mushroom extract.
Granactive retinoids are derived from Vitamin A — which can promote cellular regeneration and anti-aging properties when applied topically according to a study.
In another study, Vitamin E was also found to be an effective defense against aging from sun exposure as well as strong against free radical damage.
Blackcurrant seed oil contains Vitamin C, which is known to promote anti-aging.
Shiitake mushroom has a high ergothioneine content — a component to maintain youthful skin.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING
The eye balm boasts a consistency that goes on smooth and absorbs well into the face.
“This Advanced Retinoid Eye Balm literally melts into your skin, infusing it with proven ingredients that visibly soften fine lines and wrinkles while firming and restoring bounce,” the description reads.
“Granactive retinoid — a gentler, less irritating form of retinol — reforms texture to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet.
“And may even help reduce milia — those tiny, flesh-colored bumps that commonly appear around the eyes.
“This eye balm also features shiitake mushroom extract to support the skin’s moisture barrier.
“And nourishing antioxidants like vitamin E and blackcurrant seed oil to help protect against premature signs of aging while moisturizing the delicate skin around your eyes.”
The eye care must-have is also “clinically-tested, dermatologist-tested, [and] sensitive skin-friendly.”
RAVE REVIEWS
Several skincare fans chimed in to attest to its healing properties.
“What is this sorcery?” one wrote. “I’ve been using this balm for roughly a week and I’m already seeing impressive results. My under eyes are hydrated and bump-free for the first time ever.”
“An absolute favorite,” another gushed.
“I’m at the age when I don’t really believe in product hype, however, this one is a staple for me for the following reasons.
“Perfectly moisturizes the under-eye area where skin is thinner and fragile, it’s not too rich, not too ‘thin’
“Just the right amount of emollience for the night with the caveat that, it might be too much if you do not have dry skin.
“Completely softened my under eye and corner of the eye wrinkles — honestly, I didn’t even know this is possible without Botox.
“And now, drum roll, got rid of my dark circles, too.
“I stopped using it for about two weeks and they came back, but I know that, while I use this product, I don’t even need to use under eye concealer.
“An amazing product with an equally amazing price. Totally recommend.”
