The older I get, the more attention I pay to my very delicate eye area. In 2018, I developed a block gland so it became more critical that I treat my eyes with the best care. But with my sensitive skin, it was a little hard for me to find products that wouldn’t irritate or enflame my skin conditions. In comes Farmaesthetics.
If you’re not familiar with the brand, they are a Texas based all-natural skincare brand that creates products using certified organic herbs, flowers, oils and grains from American family farms. I was able to try out their Watercress Eye Gel ($38) for the past few months and I am happy to say it’s been a wonderful experience.
This eye gel is formulated with watercress, cucumber, caffeine, arnica and aloe. The website product description claims that one drop to eye contour helps make dark circles, fine lines and puffinesss vanish, leaving eyes looking firm and well-rested.
After 2 months of using it I definitely saw an improvement in my skin texture surrounding my eye area. I had very faint crow’s feet becoming more prominent, but was able to reduce the visibility from the great hydration this product provides. My eyes have been softer to the touch, and I have seen a slight reduction in the fine lines in my right eye.
I didn’t notice much of a difference in dark circles however, but I don’t believe that this is the fault of the product.My blocked gland interferes with my circulation, so I don’t think there is any product that will be able to help with this until it goes away or I am able to get it removed. I also have more fine lines in my left eye because of how my block gland pushed my skin out and downward, so again I can’t solve this problem until it has disappeared.
Final Thoughts
If you are looking for a multi-functioning eye gel, this product is a great one to start with. The fast absorbing eye gel did live up to it’s claims and was a great introduction to the Farmaesthetics product line. I have permanently added the eye gel to my day and night skincare routines, and I hope to see what else the brand has to offer in the near future.
