BRANDBACKER ADVENTURES: OZ Naturals Matrix 6 Mega Bright Eye Gel

I have another OZ Naturals product (provided for free through Brandbacker) to share with you! This is the OZ Naturals Matrix 6 Mega Bright Eye Gel. Take a look at the photo below for the main components of this product!


Here's a snippet of the official claims that OZ Naturals lists for this eye gel's main ingredients,

  • "Matrixyl Synthe'6 helps reduce the appearance of crow's feet and forehead lines. 
  • Haloxyl is an anti-inflammatory that helps diminish and fade the appearance of dark circles with repeated use. 
  •  Caffeine reduces puffiness 
  • Hyaluronic Acid attracts moisture,
  • Apple Stem Cells protect skin and help preserve a more youthful look."
OZ Naturals lists this eye gel as 84.2% natural. It is made in the USA and is also cruelty free. This product can be dabbed around the eyes, cheek and forehead area. (Interestingly, OZ Naturals recommends that you use this product before their Eye Créme.) It can also be used as an all over face treatment. This product has a slight scent but it is VERY faint and fades away as it is rubbed into the skin.

This eye gel feels a bit like a serum. It leaves my skin very smooth and absorbs quickly. I had no issues or side effects from the product which was refreshing for a change. (My skin is very frustrating. I'm struggling to clear up persistent acne that always appears on the left side of my face near my mouth. If you have any product suggestions please let me know! I definitely need them.)
Overall, I enjoyed using this product. Of course, because it takes a while to actually see results, I cannot accurately comment on that aspect of this product. However, I enjoyed the way this gel made my skin feel, as well as how cooling it was near my eyes. I am eager to see with continued use how this product aids my dark circles.

TOMOSON TIMES: Valentia True Glow Eye Cream

Valentia Skin Care was generous enough to send me their True Glow Eye Cream as well as their Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask (a review will be up soon) for free through Tomoson to review!





Valentia describes their True Glow Eye Cream as a corrective eye treatment that is formulated with Vitamin C, Astaxanthin and Organic oil. The product is meant to correct dark circles as well as reduce puffiness.
Here's a rundown of the some of the ingredients and their benefits (found on the side of the box):
Astanxanthin: an antioxidant that increases moisture levels, smooths fine lines and wrinkles as well as restores elasticity to your skin.
Resistem: Natural plant stem cells that repair and protect your skin from stress related aging.
Vitamin C: Meant to leave your skin visibly brighter and smoother
Organic Rosehip oil: provides intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Arnica: An anti-inflammatory agent that is key to the restorative process  
This product is also cruelty free, alcohol free and paraben free. It is also 98% organic.

As you can see in the photo above, the cream is ever so slightly peach toned. It has a very slight scent to it...almost like citrus. It's neither offensive or irritating. The cream seeps in very quickly and is not sticky at all. One pump is all you need for application to both eyes. It is gentle and does not burn if I accidentally apply too close to the rims of my eyes. I really enjoy using this product every night. The skin around my eyes always feels dry because I tend to rub them too often. This really soothes that and adds a bit of a cooling effect for me. While I cannot yet comment on how effective this product is when it comes to my dark circles, I have noticed that I have less puffiness when I wake up in the morning. Overall, this product is a win for me, and I highly recommend it giving it a try if you have not found your holy grail eye cream yet!
