Skin&Lab Bakuchiol Eye Serum 24 ingredients
I used it for 8 weeks every morning.
Why morning? Cause I tried at the beginning in the evening but the metal ball (and probably caffeine in it) made me stay wide awake again for hours.
So, yes it’s great for puffy eyes. 👀
As for ingredients, it’s very gentle. I think it should suit for any skin type.
As for application, this is where I have to remove 2 stars.⭐️
Firstly, it doesn’t Show more
