AromaMagic Under Eye Gel Review and Swatch

Hiya Girls,

Hope you are having a great day. I am reviewing today a magical product, which just found it's way into my vanity. I don't have dark circles, period. But, still I use an under eye gel (cause I have oily skin). And most of the times, my friends ask me the reason for the same. In my defence I have to add that I use an under eye gel to nourish the delicate eye area, as I am applying one or the other eye make-up product daily.  Thus, I keep trying out under eye gels from various brands just to find the right one.

Comparing under eye gels and undereye creams, I feel both are meant for the same purpose but the differnence lies in your skin type. typically, a dry skin would require heavier cream, and an oily skin, mine is somewhere in between should opt for under eye gels. So, the product under review today is Aroma Magic Under Eye Gel.


Price: INR 115 for 20 ml of product. The packaging is pretty cute with a opaque squeezable plastic tube with a red screw lid. The tube looks very small in person and is small enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

Ingredients:


Swatch:


The gel is colorless as seen in the swatch above. I have used a fair number of under eye gels in the past and have to say that this is by far the fastest absorbing under eye gel I have used till date. You just have to sweep it over your skin and it is absorbed within a minute. As far as the effects on my under eye araea are concerned, my skin definitely feels hydrated and moisturised after using this gel. As I don't have dark circles, I am unable to comment on that aspect of this gel. The gel has no smell as per my experience but whatever might be there is hardly noticeable. Also, a little goes a long way and I am happy for the tube packaging of the gel as I don't have to dip in my fingers each time. The only drawback I feel is that it would be difficult to gauge the amount of product left in the tube.

Product rating: A-, available at most drugstores and online shopping websites. Would definitely recommen this to all oily skinned beauties as it gets absorbed in a jiffy and moisturizes the under eye area super quickly.

Take care...

    1. thanks supriya, even I was suprised by the quick absorption, I was using Vedic Line under eye gel but it took ages to absorb. So, this was the first thing I noticed :)
