Under Eye Gel Triple Whammy: A Review of True Skincare, Yelmeh Beauty, and Pure Body Natural's Eye Gels

As some of you may know, I'm a bit "eh" on eye gel. Don't get me wrong, the concept is great, plus the gel has a cooling effect on the eyes, which feels awesome. I love layering a heavier cream on top of the eye gel for added "oomph." Unfortunately, many of the eye gels I've tried end up flaking off later on in the day, which is, of course, no bueno.

Today we're getting a little crazy on the eye gel reviews, because I have three, count em- three- eye gels to review: In review order, by Pure Body Naturals, True Skincare (I can't find a website for them), and Yalmeh Peerless Beauty. So, lets get to it, huh?

Recently, I've reviewed a number of things by Pure Body Naturals, who seem to carry an array of various products, from skincare products to essential oils. Their eye gel came in a large, airless pump bottle- all 1.7 oz of it, which is pretty large for an eye product. Here's what they have to say about their Ultra Youth eye gel:

Pure Body Naturals ULTRA YOUTH EYE GEL - HYDRATES AND RADIATES FOR YOUTHFUL SKIN-Our product has been formulated to restore your skin to perfection by rejuvenating, enriching and moisturising the skin so it is not only smooth and firm, but vibrant and filled with moisture with the use of Matrixyl 3000 and Plant Stem Cells to reinforce the skin and prevent eye bags and wrinkles.

Ultra Youth Eye Gel will restore your youth with rejuvenated and vibrant skin, so your skin feels and looks amazing. 


Here's their full ingredients list:

Organic Herbal Infusion, Organic Aloe, Matrixyl 3000, Palmitoyl Trepeptide - 3, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Plant Stem Cells, Cucumber Hydrosol, Organic Jojoba Oil, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, MSM, Hydroxethyl, Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Silk Amino Acid Blend (SodiumL-Pyrrolidone, Carboxylate, Sodium Lactate, L'Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-Threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine), Wild Crafted Periwinkle Reishi, Organic Gotu Kola, Frankincense, Vitamin E, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin. 98% Naturally Derived/75% Organic.

Not a bad ingredients list... the hyaluronic acid will deeply hydrate. It also contains aloe, plant stem cells, cucumber extract, gotu kola, periwinkile, silk amino acids, MSM, and matrixyl 3000. A lot of key ingredients.

Of course, we know that having a load of ingredients doesn't automatically mean that the product works miracles. Some of those uber expensive, uber popular products on the market contain a list of ingredients a mile long- and its not all good stuff, either. However, I think its definitely wise to know what's in your ingredients. I mean, look at all the good stuff in this one!

The Nitty Gritty:

It doesn't take much product to provide plenty under the eye area. I'm talking less than a pump. It definitely is a clear, odorless gel. Applying it to my under eye area felt cooling and refreshing. As soon as it dried, my eye area felt tighter. Looking in the mirror, you can definitely tell the difference between where I applied the eye product and where I didn't.

As for dark circles, unfortunately, I haven't noticed much of a difference with that. I'd say this product is great for tightening and firming, but not so much to help with under eye bags and discoloration. Wah! Either way, if you're looking for a great firming, anti-aging eye gel, this is a good option.

You can purchase Pure Body Naturals Ultra Youth Eye Gel here on amazon for $17.95. The 1.7 oz airless pump bottle will not only last forever, but the airless pump will prevent oxygenation and contamination.

Onto the next one.....

True Skincare (again, can't find a website for them, and I apologize greatly if I missed it out there in internet world. When you google "true skincare," quite a few results come up. Their webpage didn't seem to be one of them) sent me a snazzy looking bottle of their own anti-aging eye gel.

First of all, the packaging is great. I love the black and teal logo and label on their clear, airless pump bottle. Its definitely professional and appealing to the eye (ha, get it.. eye?). But, what we really care about is what's in that bottle, right?

Here's what they say about it:

True Skin Care's proprietary formula is a unique blend of natural ingredients designed with sensitive skin in mind.

Ingredients:

Deionized Water, Butylene Glycol, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Ethoxydiglycol, Hesperidin Methylchalcone, Steareth-20-Dipeptide-2, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Carbomer, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract, Euphrasia Officinalis (Eyebright) Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sodium PCA, Triethanolamine, Glycosaminoglycans, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Allantoin

Like PBN's anti-aging eye gel, this one also has some great ingredients, though different: Aloe and cucumber hydrate and soothe and are in PBN's product. We also have green tea, eyebright, allantoin, and licorice root extract, which will help to brighten and even out the skin tone.

The Nitty Gritty:

This product is also clear and odorless, but the texture was a bit more.. gelish? Hard to describe, but I do love the texture and, like PBN's eye gel, a little goes a long way. This product contains more ingredients to help with under eye circles, such as caffeine and licorice root.

After using this product for a few weeks, I do feel that this product does provide positive results as both an anti-aging gel and to target under eye circles. Though it doesn't work like magic- after all, nothing seems to fully get rid of the circles- I do notice a difference. The eye area doesn't feel quite as firm as PBN's product afterwards, but that's not necessarily a bad thing either, if you're looking to target both areas effectively.

You can purchase a 0.5 oz bottle of True Beauty's anti-aging eye gel here on amazon for $35.95.

Is It True Yalmeh Donates 10% of Profits to Charities? Yes! Giving back to our society will ALWAYS be our top priorities. 

Phew, that was a lot to read. Here are the ingredients:

Tea of Wildcrafted Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion), Wildcrafted Arnica Montana (Arnica), Organic Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) and Organic Calendula Officinalis (Calendula), Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe), Matrixyl 3000, Palmitoyl Triepeptide-3, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Globularia Cordifolia Callus Culture Extract (Plant Stem Cells), Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber Hydrosol), Organic Simmondsis Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (botanical hyaluronic acid), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, CoQ10, Silk Amino Acid Blend (Sodium L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylate, Sodium Lactate, L'Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Pyrrolidonecarboxylic Acid, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine), Wildcrafted Vinca Major (Periwinkle), Organic Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice), Wildcrafted Euphrasia Officinalis (Eye Bright), Wildcrafted Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi), Organic Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola), Boswellia Serrata (Frankincense), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Organic Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola), Wildcrafted Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail), Wildcrafted Geranium Maculatum (Wild Geranium), Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin.

The first and main ingredient is dandelion tea, followed by arnica, turmeric, calendula, aloe, and matrixyl 3000... damn! I was expecting to see something else there, like water, something.. but it's just herb and plant after herb and plant. Some uniqueness there too, as I've never seen turmeric in a skincare product before. Turmeric is an amazing anti-inflammatory agent, so you know that this won't irritate the area. This product also contains gotu kola, horsetail, geranium, eyebright, jojoba, MSM, hyaluronic acid.. the list of goodness goes on and on.

The Nitty Gritty:

Okay, I hate to say it, but you know how I talked about how eye gels tend to flake on me (literally, ha!) Well.. this one does. I know, I know. Maybe I'm using too much of it, I don't know.. but I tend to put it on underneath another eye cream.. and maybe 10 minutes later, I'll notice a bit of flakiness. I suppose I'll need to experiment and see how this product does on its own, without another eye cream on top of it... other than that, this product is pretty great. It's richer than the other eye gels in this review, and I mean.. those ingredients!! ::drool.

I'm not giving up hope on this product, I just need to make some modifications in how I use it. As for results.. umm.. I guess it just felt more hydrated. It didn't tighten like the PBN eye gel did, nor did it help with dark circles, like True Beauty's one. However, I would use this eye gel just for the sheer fact that it is filled with yummy ingredients that I know are doing something awesome to my skin, perhaps on the cellular level.

You can purchase a 0.5 oz tube of Yalmeh's eye gel here on amazon for $19.95. Give your eyes the medicine it needs!

All in All...

All of these products provide positive results, but in different ways. If you're looking for an eye gel whose primary focus is solely to firm and tighten, go with Pure Body Natural's eye gel. However, if you're looking to fight undereye circles, purchase True Beauty's eye gel. Yalmeh's eye gel didn't seem to provide many positive results, but I refuse to believe that its not doing anything amazing to my skin, since the ingredients are full of wonderful herb and plant extracts that have proven results. Also, it must be said that the prices of these three products vary significantly- a 1.7 oz bottle of PBN's eye gel is only $17.95, while a 0.5 oz bottle of True Beauty's is $35.95.. and, a 0.5 oz bottle of Yalmeh's eye gel is $19.95. It's all in what you're looking for, folks. I just hope that you're using an eye product night and day, every. Single. Day.
