VII Code Oxygen 8 Eye Mask-$58.00
Packaging of product
Before discovering this company, I had seen these types of products all over social media blogs and vlogs. Specifically, with some of my favorite bloggers like Jackie at http://thatswhatsupblog.com. She always has great skincare reviews and products on her page.
Another blogger that reviewed this product is Felicia at https://mascarainthecity.com She, however, didn't seem to have good results. They had very different results and opinions so I thought that was interesting and another reason why I wanted to try the product.
I've always wondered how well they work so I jumped at the opportunity to work with them. This product is a little different than your standard wrinkle or eye cream. These little eye patches are made to be worn for 8 hours or all night while sleeping. I will say I struggle with this one. I try to clean my face before bed and throw on some moisturizer and eye cream but I'm not used to wearing something for hours beside a mask here and there for 30 minutes or so.
I love using skin care products but I go in phases with products and sometimes I'm super disciplined other times I'm not. I'll do another post later on other products I use day to day with my routine. Skin care can get pricey and these are around $58.00 per box. You can find them a little cheaper on Amazon and they offer a discount if you subscribe to their email list. It's worth noting they offer free shipping and they have a money back guarantee. http://www.viicode.com/index.php/gel-under-eye-mask-for-dark-circles-that-works.html
A little more in detail about my skincare. I struggle daily with puffy eyes and always have, it's not uncommon for me to have puffy tired eyes daily. I have tried the Mac caffeine cream and the Clarins de-puff product but nothing works that great. I can feel the Clarins working more so but I don't think it last throughout the day. I no longer use Mac product's because I learned they do A LOT of testing on animals and I'm just not cool with that. It's not that hard to look for alternatives to make a tiny difference in the world so that's my reason for Mac products. I was excited to try this product and hoping for the best.
Product information: Each box contains 6 boxes so you can get several uses out of this and use when needed. I personally always have puffy eyes so I could use this a couple times a month, however, the box says to use three times in a row to see best results.
Each box contains 6 packs of eye mask
Ingredients:
Grapeseed Oil: Extremely rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, which have performed well in clinical anti-wrinkle trials. It is also rich in OPC. These flavonoids remove free radicals and promote the restoration of collagen at the cellular level, making your skin feel firmer and minimizing signs of damage.Seaweed: Helps the skin cells in fighting free radicals produced because of radiation and chemical exposure, food metabolic activities, and exposure to the sun. Also, helps in restoring the normal hydration of skin cells that prevents the signs of aging and protects against wrinkle formation.White Tea: Helps body stays hydrated and encourages longer moisture retention for your skin. Combine with potent anti-aging compounds, and it's an option to consider for keeping fine lines and wrinkles at bay.These little patches are shaped to fit perfectly under your eye and have a thick layer of sticky material you stick to your skin.
Results: When I first put these patches on they were pleasantly very cooling like a product I would have at the spa. I was a little concerned about how these would stay on all night but they seemed to adhere to my skin nicely without irritating me at all. They leave a very calming feeling after applying. I was pleasantly surprised the next morning as my eyes appeared to be brighter and tighter where they are normally puffed out like crazy. I'm not just saying this. I've only had one other product work this well and that was a product my makeup artist used for my wedding day. To my knowledge, it was mostly green tea and that makes sense because this product has white tea in it. I used the patches three days in a row and I will say without a doubt there is something magical in these little pouches that do work. I will be using the others when I have an event coming up or while on vacation.
I am not exaggerating when I say I have the worst puffy chinky eyes when I wake up and I HATE it. I usually try to get a piece of ice with a cold wash cloth and hold under my eyes when it gets really bad and that helps temporarily.
I will be looking more into this company and the other products they offer, specifically, the creams. I'm hoping they will work just as well. I need all the help I can get with this issue. I am a light terrible sleeper and this issue will likely only get worse.
Note: No makeup and dirty hair!
