Review: Neesya Brightening Eye Contour Gel, Soothes Redness & Needs To Be Balanced With Lifestyle

February 12, 2014 Leave a Comment

To get rid of dark circles is a mission impossible but to reduce it, it is possible. Dark circle happens to everyone and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I was sent with Neesya Brightening Eye Contour Gel a month ago. I’m a little skeptical if this eye gel works for my horrid dark circles but crossed my fingers, deep down in me I hope it works!

“An eye treatment formulated in a 360° approach to address the major concern of the eye contour. Helps visibly brighten dark eye circles, diminish puffiness and the effects of fatigue and aging.

Regu®-Age PF counters the causes of dark circles, puffiness and improves skin firmness and hydration. LumiScience™ Technology helps diminish discoloration, protect against oxidative stress and refine the early signs of age, while light diffusers refract light for immediate optical brightening effect.

Fragrance and color free.” – Neesya

Key ingredients:

Regu®Age PF

Visibly eye diminishes puffiness, dark eye circles. Super anti-oxidant (SOD) to help protect against damaging effects of free-radicals – anti-pre-mature aging. Increase firmness – promotes collagen and elastin.

Silver Vine Extract

Anti-carbonylation (anti-protein oxidation) at the stratum corneum – Skin radiance & clarity enhancer. Melanin inhibition for fairer, even toned skin. Skin energizer and healthy metabolism. Anti-Free radical and anti-oxidant protection.

Alpha-Melight™

Immediate, intensive Hydration. (within 15 mins) Strengthens skin’s natural moisturising ability Increases skin hydration levels at every layer of the epidermis. Immediate smoothening of fine lines. Smoothening of superficial wrinkles in 2 weeks.

Acquacell™

Intensive internal and external skin hydration. Immediate and long term hydration. Smoothens fine lines and superficial wrinkles.

As how I always like their hologram seal which shows that the product is sealed and have not been open. I’m also a big fan of pump bottles and this eye gel comes with it, a plus point for the ease of use and being hygienic. For this pump bottle, the base of the bottle pushes the product up as you pump and this avoids product wastage. This is recommended to be use daily in the morning and night.

Known by the name itself, this eye gel texture is light, transparent and has silver particles which maybe one of the key ingredient, Silver Vine Extract. The silver particles looks almost like silver glitters, helps to reflect light and brighten the dark circles. You may wonder if this will leave your under eye area as shiny as a disco ball. The answer is depends but not much. As this eye gel requires a bit more of work to blend, there are times that I could spot a few of the silver particles (usually happens at night) and there are times I don’t (during the day).

It has been a month since I have used this and I’m noticing improvements. I have applied this eye gel not only on my under eye but also on my eyelid up to my brow bone twice daily. From the photos above, I’m noticing that the redness on my under eye reduced progressively except on week 4 which I have to explain myself on this. My sleep routine from Week 1 till Week 3 was constantly the same and balanced. On week 4 which falls on the Chinese New Year celebration where I slept at 4:00am on the eve and first day of CNY, I was busy with the preparation, tired, didn’t catch enough sleep and by the second day of CNY I had to leave for a trip. This has reversed the effectiveness of the eye gel hence it explains my blood shot eyes and under eye redness on Week 4.

If the earlier photo doesn’t convince you, here you could see my under eye area on a different angle.

From this angle, it shows the hollows of my under eye. My under eye became less puffy and the hollows is not as noticeable.

Above all…

I could really see an improvement what this eye gel does but I long for stronger formula! Call me demanding but I believe many of us would like to have the best of it for eye products since dark circles is totally unavoidable. Having to say that the effectiveness of this eye gel goes haywire once the lifestyle changes (ie sleeping pattern). It is fair in a way that we should to keep everything balance in order to heal better and to maintain healthier lifestyle. I would like to touch a little on the packaging because I have noticed that the description printed on the bottle smeared after a month use. It wasn’t like this before and the smearing is most likely to happen in between use of my skin care. Best part about Neesya products is that they are fragrance and Paraben free.

Review: Neesya Eye and Lip Makeup Remover, Gentle & Non-Irritating Yet To Remove Makeup Completely

January 7, 2014 1 Comment

When it comes to makeup remover, I am quite particular now as I have developed skin sensitivity around my eye area. I have come to the point where I cannot rub or even lightly scratch on my eye area, otherwise the hives will come. Having hives on the eye area isn’t pleasant, that feeling is similar to having someone to punched into your eye minus the pain. I was sceptical on Neesya Eye and Lip Makeup Remover if it is gentle enough to remove my makeup without triggering those nasty hives.

‘This gentle, bi-phase Make-Up Remover is specifically designed to whisk off stubborn, waterproof make-up without rubbing or aggravating the delicate eye contour and lip area. Enriched with Sunflower Oil for anti-aging benefits of Vit A,C and E. Pro-vitamin B5, conditions and hydrates the skin leaving the eye area perfectly clean and soothed.’ – Neesya

In Neesya Eye and Lip Makeup Remover, there are key ingredients that also helps to take care of our skin.

Sunflower Oil

Calming and emollient (moisturizing).

Pro-Vitamin B

Softens and moisturises eye and lip area.
Conditions lashes.

Vitamin A, E and D

Anti-oxidant and anti-free radical.
Prevents the effects of pre-mature aging.

The hologram sticker of Neesya is best to identify if the product has been open or used before. In this makeup remover, it has two separate layers which requires to shake it to ensure they are completely combined before using. On the cotton pad, you could also see the mixture is slightly in blue color.

To use this makeup remover is easy, just a couple of steps that could take only a few second of yours.

Notice any difference? Because my eye makeup is heavier on the eye liner and mascara, it takes up one cotton pad just on one side of my eye. You can also see all the makeup residue on the cotton pad. Here I’m just concentrating on removing my eye makeup, there was nothing left on my lips to remove.

Here is the close up on how well Neesya Eye and Lip Makeup Remover removes my eye makeup. It takes quite a bit of time and effort to remove my non- waterproof mascara.

Ingredients listing: Water, Cyclomethicone, Butylene Glycol, Isopropyl Myristate, Helianthus Annuss (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Sodium Chloride, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Panthenol, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, CI 61565.

Verdict?

This makeup remover didn’t trigger the hives on my eye area at all! The trick is to ensure the cotton pad is completely soaked and there is no need to remove the makeup vigorously or tugging. Even if you don’t have skin sensitivity like I do, I would still recommend this trick. I just need to put an extra effort on removing the mascara, it gets quite stubborn and one or two of my lashes dropped from it. It may seem like it has completely removed my eye makeup but there was still a little residue of eye liner and mascara left behind. The best of this makeup remover is Paraben, fragrance and alcohol free.

Price: MYR35.00

Weight: 110ml

Review: Neesya Illuminating Essence, An Essence That Doesn’t Leave Your Skin Feeling Tacky

October 31, 2013 2 Comments

Neesya is the first skin radiance specialist brand that promotes a new level of skin clarity, luminosity and even toned. Using LumiScience Technology, it naturally illuminates skin that employs 360° approach to achieve that new skin level. I had the opportunity to try Neesya Illuminating Essence and I love how it doesn’t feel tacky after the application!

“Visibly boosts skin luminosity with LumiScience°™ Technology through a 360° approach. Skin regains its translucent appearance as skin is brightened, hydrated and protected against damaging free radicals and oxidative stress. Results: An illuminated and more even toned complexion.

Key actives and functions: Silver Vine extract helps reduce the protein carbonylation levels and enhances skin transluscency.
Alpha-Melight™ helps fight dark spots, soothes and clarifies skin to optimize radiance and luminosity.
Natural complex of watermelon, apple and lentil extracts helps skin regain optimum hydration levels by restoring skin cellular fluidity and natural moisturising factors.
Bio‐technologically derived yeast proteins, fortified with minerals of diamond, mother of pearl, turquoise and opal, help smoothen, refine skin texture, and promote skin radiance.” – Neesya

It comes in a plastic bottle where you can pour the essence safely without spilling it. Also, if your bottle is new, they do have a seal sticker between the bottle and the lid. It’s in liquid formula, the texture is not as thick and it has light sandalwood scent. I use 4-5 drops daily in the morning and night after my serum. Initially, I was worried if the texture could leave my skin feeling tacky but my skin absorbs it so well and it doesn’t feel oily at all.

I have run through a course of 4 weeks trying this essence and my skin seems to be clearer each week. Also it is more even toned, radiant and brighter.

Here is a close up and I do notice that my skin becomes plumper each week. Not because that I’m getting any meatier but my skin becomes so much more hydrated. As much as I love this essence, I did broke out on Week 3 on my chin area and nose bridge. Some acne marks are disappearing throughout using this essence, you can see it on my cheeks.

Here is a comparison of before and after 4 weeks of using the essence.

This is the close up comparison of before and after 4 weeks.

Ingredients listing

Water, Butylene Glycol, Sodium PCA, Glycerin, Citrullus Vulgaris (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract, Sodium Lactate, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, C12-15 Pareth-12, Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin, Actinidia Polygama Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Bisabolol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Aloe Barbadensis leaf Juice, Maltodextrin, Fragrance, Propylene Glycol, Saccharomyces/Opal/Mother Of Pearl/Turquoise/Diamond Ferment Lysate Filtrate.

Verdict?

Although this essence doesn’t bring drastic changes but it follows the harmony of my skin to improve it. My skin did improve from the acne marks and even out my skin tone. I love applying this essence because it doesn’t feel oily or tacky at all! Even so, do bare in mind that it doesn’t come with any oil-controlling properties. This would also go great for dry skin types since it kept my skin hydrated so well. Just the backlash would be the breakout on Week 3. Plus point that this essence is Paraben and colorant free! I would think that they could improve on the packaging because the plastic bottle may seem a little flimsy.
