My Eye Care Routine with Juicy Chemistry Products – Review of Juicy Chemistry Prickly Pear & Tamanu Under Eye Serum

Hi all,
Here I am with the review of one of the products from my most favorite Indian brand – Juicy Chemistry. Its not just a review, but I will detail the entire eye care routine that I have been following these days with Juicy Chemistry eye care products. Yes, even our eyes need a proper care routine, that’s why there are products like Eyepromise DVS Nutritional Eye Supplement. We take care of our skin pretty well – cleanse, tone, serum, moisturize. But most of us are guilty of ignoring our eyes. We apply eye creams once in a blue moon when we suddenly observe our dark circles getting darker ???? . Truth is that, eyes are the first place where signs of aging often shows first. The skin around the eyes is thinner, collagen degrades faster and so fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet emerge. Using the right eye care products can target and prevent many of these. I’d visit a specialist to inspect the products first before applying anything near my eyes, and then get an eye exam. So now that you know the importance of eye care, let’s move on to today’s post where I will share my eye care routine with Juicy Chemistry products and also review the Juicy Chemistry Prickly Pear & Tamanu Under Eye Serum. Meanwhile you can check out my reviews of other Juicy Chemistry products here.

Meanwhile, if you have glasses which you awfully hate because of how hideous it makes you look, then I would recommend you get your stylish glasses from Glasses Online Canada.

Along with its exceptional moisturizing properties, the serum penetrates deep into skin and the presence of Linoleic acid, makes it absorb wonderfully into the skin without leaving any greasy traces. The abundance of fatty acids in the serum leaves skin supple and moist.

Juicy Chemistry Prickly Pear & Tamanu Under Eye Serum comes in a sleek pen-like packaging. On opening the cap, there is a roll-ball applicator which helps to easily apply under eyes. This pen-like packaging is super compact and convenient and can be easily carried around in your purse. I usually don’t have time to apply this in the morning, so I toss it in my handbag and apply while going in the cab to office 😀 . Have to thank Juicy Chemistry team for this superb packaging!

When I first looked at the ingredients list, I thought this will be like a nourishing under-eye oil as it contains a blend of so many oils. But I was wrong. Juicy Chemistry Prickly Pear & Tamanu Under Eye Serum is actually a very light-weight serum. When I roll it under my eyes, I don’t feel like I have applied oil under my eyes. It feels so light and absorbs quickly (takes around a minute) and easily without leaving behind any oily look. The consistency feels just like watery serum.

Juicy Chemistry Prickly Pear & Tamanu Under Eye Serum has a very refreshing as well as relaxing scent. It contains a mix of essential oils like lavender, geranium, chamomile which are calming, relaxing as well as other uplifting, refreshing essential oils like eucalyptus and sweet orange.

The star ingredient in this product is the prickly pear seed oil and tamanu oil. I have never heard of prickly pear seed oil before and I think Juicy Chemistry is the first Indian brand to be using it. When I first heard of it, I thought it is going to prick my skin ????. Then I googled and read about the oil online. Here’s what I found: prickly pear is not actually a pear, but a variety of cactus plant which is sometimes called the barbary fig. The prickly pear cactus grows fruit pods that contain small seeds which are filled with this nutrient-rich oil. Prickly pear contains the highest percentage (88%) of unsaturated fatty acids which help in stimulating health cell production and turnover. It also contains the highest level of vitamin E (almost 150% more than argan oil ????) which protects the skin and helps retain moisture.

Tamanu oil comes from the fruit of the tamanu tree. This tree produces a small yellow fruit that contains a large nut which is processed into tamanu oil. This oil is filled to the brim with anti-oxidants that protect skin from premature aging and smooth out wrinkles.

I have almost every eye problem – dark circles, fine lines, puffy eyes and dry under eye area, thanks to working long hours in front of the computer. For my bad eyesight, I purchased varifocal glasses online and use them everyday. And I have to thank this product for solving most of the issues. Juicy Chemistry Prickly Pear & Tamanu Under Eye Serum works wonderfully well on lightening dark circles and brightening the under eye area. And I could see the results in a very short time. Usually, eye creams take a long time to show results and we need to be patient. But Juicy Chemistry products, as we all know, are concentrated and effective and show faster results. And this eye serum showed visible lightening in my dark circles just within 4 days of using. Yes, I was shocked really! It also hydrates and nourishes my under eye area keeping it supple and moist. I had two fine lines under my eyes and it has helped smoothen and minimize them to almost 50%. Just in two weeks that too! I think if I continue using up the entire product, the fine lines might be completely gone. Regarding its effects on puffy eyes, it does cool the under eye area which helps slightly reduce the puffiness but I wouldn’t say its totally gone. Another thing that I observed was, the skin under my eyes was more firmer and tightened. I think the prickly pear seed oil and tamanu oil are working their magic as claimed.

Now, let me tell you the 3-step eye care routine that I follow:
* In the morning, as I told you, I just roll-on Juicy Chemistry Prickly Pear & Tamanu Under Eye Serum under my eyes and on top of my eyelids. Since this is very lightweight and serum-consistency, it is perfect for day time use. After lunch break also, in office, I would like to apply this once more to refresh my tired-looking eyes.
* When I come home from office, I cleanse my face and then I take two cotton swabs and spray them with Juicy Chemistry Sweet Orange & Chamomile Under Eye Mist. I lie on my bed, close my eyes and place the cotton swabs over my eyes. This helps to instantly relax and cool my tired eyes after staring into laptop for a long time. I keep it on for around 20 minutes, by which time I call my mom and will be talking on the phone to her. So two jobs completed at once 😀
* After completing my night skincare routine, I take a little amount of Juicy Chemistry Organic Coffee & Green Tea Eye Cream and give a small massage under my eyes with it. This has a rich creamy texture which deeply nourishes my under eyes and perfect for night time.

Note, for review purpose, I stopped using the eye cream and used only the serum at night to test the efficacy of the individual product alone.

Does it satisfy all its claims?

Yes, it satisfies all its claims.
