Has Alcohol denatured -awful for skin ESPECIALLY eye area!
This is basically the only roller depuff with caffeine that doesn't cost 25+ dollars. So it is the least expensive, from what I have found with caffeine actually high up on the ingredient list. This means the included caffeine actually occurs in a quantity that certainly has a better chance at helping. Otherwise, if the caffeine was listed much lower, it would be in such a minuscule concentration. This aspect is the most important factor for me. The roller is cool to the skin, as it is the silver metal (I cannot remember which particular one it is) - the ball is naturally cool to the touch. I’ve read that coolness around the eye area is known to aid in reducing (temporary eye puff only) eye area puffiness after waking up or after crying. The serum is light in texture and feels good to roll on- it’s imperative to only apply on the outer most eye area. This is because our skin’s natural warmth slightly moves product down, ever so slightly. So if one adds a skincare product on the eyelid, it’s very likely it will get into the eyes. So I always roll it right above my eyebrow area and maybe half an inch from my under eye area - maybe a little more or less. Why is it rated one star? It is rated such due to the inclusion of alcohol denatured in the ingredients. :( It is listed as “Alcohol denat.” It literally tells you in the description above that it is flammable until dry. Think about that . This ingredient is absolutely horrible for skin. It’s even worse considering the so very delicate eye area. I actually went back to double check the ingredients while writing this, and I’m thinking about no longer using it. The above paragraphs are correct, however, I am now very hesitant to continue using this. 😕 Update~ I no longer use this, there is no place for alcohol denatured in a skin care product - MOST CERTAINLY not for the thinnest area of skin being the under eye area - and the thing with alcohol denatured is it doesn’t have to actually cause any noticeable irritation to still be damaging the skin. Read about it on Paula’s choice blog . She knows her science based skin care facts and shared a wealth of important information consumers deserve to know about . Keep in mind I am not one of those “oMg cHeMiCaLs bAd” type of believers ; that entire movement is flawed by default; Everything is a “chemical.” Everything. I now use bliss eye do all things hydrating eye gel. I have zero affiliations with any company I pay full price for the bliss product i recommend and I have nothing to gain by telling other people about it, other than the fact that I’m helping anyone who reads this.
