Adeline skincare sent me two different products to review: Another lovely eye serum (you can never have too many eye products, I've decided), as well as their anti-aging moisturizer. While I can't really find anything about the company (trust me, I can google like the best of them), I did dig up some info on both of the products, which I'll put below.
First, lets focus on the anti-aging moisturizer cream, which you can purchase for $35.25 on amazon.
Here's what Adeline has to say about their anti-aging moisturizer:
5 POWERFUL ANTI AGING INGREDIENTS IN ONE BOTTLE: Adeline's Anti-Aging Face Cream is formulated with 5 powerful ingredients that fight wrinkles and rejuvenate your skin: Matrixyl, Witch Hazel, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C & Vitamin E. The results on your skin are fantastic! You would normally have to purchase multiple creams to attain the benefits that we pack into one of our bottles. Our customers discover they don't want or need to use any other creams on their face after using our skin cream.
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to double the amount of collagen needed to give the skin its elasticity. This means your wrinkles are going to fade and you will no longer be looking at celebrities and other women wondering how they look so young because you now know the secret. Start feeling more confident. Your search for the perfect anti-aging skin cream is over!
GET YOUR TIME BACK: After washing in the morning and evening, it takes just 30 seconds to gently apply the cream to your face, neck and decollete. Skin appears radiant and more plump after use. Over time our customers experience visible improvements in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, laugh lines, dry skin and uneven skin.
UNBEATABLE PREMIUM QUALITY: Our face creams are handmade in our FDA-Inspected facility according to strict manufactures guidelines outlined by the GMP right here in the USA. All our products are free from parabens, SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) & petrochemical derivatives. With no added fragrances and no additives or fillers we are positive you are going to love our anti-aging moisturizer from Adeline.

As for the full ingredients list, I can't find it. And you KNOW how much that drives me insane!!! Even on their amazon page, they just say "all natural ingredients that are not tested on animals and cruelty free." I mean, what the eff, guys!? You know what else is natural? Alcohol. Rubbing alcohol. Etc. etc. Tons of crap. Give us our ingredients!!
This product seems to be super similar to another anti-aging moisturizer that I reviewed not too long ago, by a company called Luxurience.
They both contain green tea and peppermint- again, the peppermint I am
leery about, as it can be potentially irritating. Even the texture is
the same, as it is pretty lightweight, but definitely feels nice and
smooth on the skin. This moisturizer, however, absorbs quicker than the other one I reviewed. In fact, this absorbs really quickly, which I love.
Overall, this product is pretty good, though the peppermint still makes me nervous. After applying it, my skin feels super smooth and does actually have a bit of a glow, though this doesn't last all day. I just wish they listed their full ingredients list online. I mean, UGH.
Adeline Organic Eye Serum can also be found on amazon for $35.25.
It must be said that eye serums / gels can be hit or miss with me. If I'm using them, I always add an eye cream on top of it, because I feel like the serum isn't doing its job- please know that this is totally just a psychological thing for me. Serums are actually more potent than creams, so technically, they should be doing more "work." However, I'm just super used to that feeling of having cream around the eyes. Also, I've used a number of different eye gels that tend to flake up after applying creams and that's soooo annoying. On the other hand, I certainly have used some lovely serum / gels that instantly tighten and brighten around my eyes. So, what I'm saying is that they're not all bad.
Here's what Adeline has to say about their eye gel:
Have crow's feet, fine lines, discoloration, brown spots, dark circles, or puffiness around your eyes added years to your appearance?
Dull, wrinkled, discolored, or puffy skin around your eyes can make you appear years or even decades older than you really are. Who wants that?
Our eye serum can reverse the signs of aging, giving you a more vibrant, youthful appearance.
Why choose our Organic Eye Serum? Because it works!
We've chosen only the most effective, natural ingredients to help you restore your youthful appearance:
+ Cucumber extract, like other extracts in the aloe family, moisturizes your skin to diminish lines and wrinkles.
+ Chamomile extract soothes the skin around your eyes and reduces puffiness.
+ Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice improves collagen production to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and crow's feet.
+ Sunflower seed oil contains antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E to prevent free radical damage, and fatty acids to prevent premature aging and promote new cell growth.
+ Usa Urvi leaf extract is a natural source of hydroquinone - reduces inflammation and the appearance of brown spots.
Even Great for Sensitive Skin
Our serum is gentle and natural-We produce and package our product in a FDA-Certified facility. Organic Eye Serum is alcohol-free and paraben-free!
Just apply Organic Eye Serum before bed and let it work while you sleep!
Adeline claims that this product will protect, moisturize, reduce dark circles, eliminate brown spots, reduce inflammation, and improve clarity and tone of the eyes. Those are a lot of claims; however, they're not impossible to achieve.
The directions above say to apply the product at night; however, the bottle just says to apply once daily- it doesn't state whether this should be day or night. While it's totally fine to apply eye serums twice daily, there could be a reason why one wants it to be at night only- example, if there is retinol or any agents in the product that are photosensitive- meaning, prone to sun reaction. It doesn't look like this product contains anything like that, though. Another reason why one might encourage to put a product on at night only is because the body- and therefore, the skin- can absorb more product when the body is at rest and, essentially, put it to work. Eye products that instruct to be applied at night are likely (and definitely should be) stronger and more concentrated than traditional day creams. Regardless... I'd encourage Adeline to clarify this.
The serum doesn't contain any scent, is clear, and very thin- which isn't a bad thing, because that means you can use less product. It's almost sticky, and still feels that way after it has dried on my face.. but not in an awful way. The stickiness is totally bearable, believe it or not.
I haven't used this product long enough to say whether its achieved every one of the results they claim above. However, my eyes do feel a bit tighter around the area that I applied the product. I'm going to continue to use it and see if my results get better.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Overall, I'm not terribly disappointed in these two products by Adeline. Though the company could clarify a few things and certainly could put up an ingredients list.. oh yeah, and an actual website would be nice. I also think that they should bring down the price of these products- I mean, $35 for a regular sized container of eye serum or moisturizer from a company one has never heard of and doesn't even have a website.. is rather expensive. Aside from that, I'm excited to see what else this company has to offer! I'd totally be down to try more products.
