Eyecare with GA-DE Cosmetics

Eye care should be as important as any other part of your routine, it should definitely be as fun to try new products and figure out what does and does not work for you.  As a habitual insomniac, I am always looking for products which claim they can de-puff and make dark circle vanish from the eyes, anything to make me look less dead and more human.  From GA-DE Cosmetics, I have been trying two of they eye care products - the Aqua Jolt Vitalising Gel Cream and the Aqua Jolt Dark Circles Relief.
Aqua Jolt range, which I have featured before here, is scientifically created, researched and developed with chemists and colourists who are constantly working to explore new materials and techniques, whilst at the same time, ensuring science and artistry is at the forefront to ensure that the health of the skin is the main priority.

The Vitalising Eye Cream (£20) is described as being an ultra-hydrating, rich eye gel cream and it comes packaged inside this little blue pot.

This Gel Cream, which is an absolute delight to use, is infused with purified hyaluronic acid which helps with levels of hydration for skin, which for me is especially important because the undereye is always dehydrated. It also helps and gives that soft, smooth, fresh and supple look.

GADE also uses an exclusive restructuring and tightening CAFEISILANE C® technology, an innovative formula which promotes the skin’s renewal process for firmer, smoother skin around the delicate eye area while at the same time working to minimise puffiness and the appearance of dark circles. Also included is a blend of antioxidant soothing, calming and purifying plant extracts, this rich gel cream protects against environmental factors as well as fatigue and stress, for eyes that look rested and awake.

I use an old mini eyeroller for applying to my undereye and what I love about this gel is just how soothing it is when you apply it.  I tend to keep my eye cream/gel or serum in the fridge, but even not doing that, this gel is still cold enough to be a treat.

The GA-DE Aqua Jolt Serum (£27) is my favourite product of the two, but only just. It is described as being a concentrated eye gel serum which has been created to defy dark under-eye circles and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and puffiness.

Anyone who knows me will know that I suffer from bouts of Insomnia, so dark circles and puffiness are part of my armour and concealer is my weapon of choice. However, this serum does make a real difference with puffiness.

As with the eye gel above, this serum has been specially formulated with a blend of powerful hydrating and soothing antioxidant actives which include purified hyaluronic acid, natural Meiyanol elderberry flower extrac which come together to leave the eye area feeling fresh, hydrated, and radiant. There is also the inclusion of Vitamin E, Ginger and the exclusive FUCOGEL® and AQUAXYL™, both of which are present in the Aqua Jolt Oil-Free Hydration Gel Cream plus we also have an ingredient called CAFEISILANE C® which helps to promote skin renewal giving a firmer, smoother, brighter, and more resilient eye contour.

If you are yet to have a look at or even try any of the products GA-DE Cosmetics has to offer, you can find them all here, one of my reviews here plus more - I'm talking cleansers, toners, Eye creams, day cream, night cream, overnight oils and serums!
