Skin Deva Dark Circle Eye Cream is a moisturizing product intended to lighten the area under the eyes, reduce the appearance of dark circles, and tighten sagging skin. The manufacturer of this product claims that it contains an advanced formula for optimal results. We have determined the truth of this claim as well as the product efficacy by analyzing several factors which contribute to its effectiveness.
Ingredients
We have outlined a few of the ingredients found in this formula below:
- Algae Extract
- Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
- Rosehip Oil
- Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone
- Glycerin
The formula contains a number of other ingredients, however, the manufacturer regrets to inform potential customers as to which ingredients are active and inactive. This makes it difficult to accurately determine which ingredients are supportive of the product’s intentions. Algae Extract is known to condition, soften, and hydrate the skin. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 contain several beneficial amino acids which work to reduce inflammation and boost the production of collagen in the body – which ultimately plumpens skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Rosehip Oil is an anti-inflammatory that works to repair and regenerate damaged skin. Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone supports blood vessel health and, thus, promotes healthy skin. Glycerin is an emollient that attracts and retains moisture for hydrated skin and a youthful look. These ingredients may prove beneficial, however, the formula lacks patented ingredients. Patented ingredients can be found in competitor products and are included to boost the product’s effectiveness. They are an indication that the product is of a superior quality. Another concern about this product is that the company does not clearly state if they adhere to cGMP guidelines. This may suggest that quality practices were not used during the production process.
Directions
The manufacturer provides information on how to use this product for optimal benefit. They state that users should pump 2 – 3 drops onto the fingertips and gently smooth onto cleansed skin in the morning and night. They warn that this product is for external use only. They do not stipulate whether users should conduct a patch test before application nor do they provide the concentrations of the ingredients used. We, therefore, cannot determine the potential risk of side effects or potency of this formula. This is a major concern.
Price
This produce retails on the manufacturer’s online store for $21.99. Each pump bottle contains 0.5 oz. of product. This product is not too expensive. What concerns us is that there are no package deals or specials to ensure that prolonged use doesn’t become too costly. There are several competitors that support lengthy use with substantial deals and these should be considered before making a purchase.
Guarantee
The manufacturer offers a 30-day return policy. This only applies to unused products. Therefore, customers who are not satisfied with results cannot apply for a refund. This suggests that the manufacturer is wary of the product efficacy. This is very concerning. What is even more disappointing is that there are very few customer reviews for this product. This means that we cannot be certain that the product will, in fact, work.
Skin Deva Dark Circle Eye Cream Review – Conclusion
It is positive to note that this formula contains several beneficial ingredients for skin health. Furthermore, the reasonable price is an appealing selling point. These factors aside, we were disappointed to note that the manufacturer does not state the active ingredients of this product nor the concentrations of them. Therefore, we cannot determine product strength. Furthermore, the guarantee does not support unhappy customers and the lack of customer reviews makes it impossible to guarantee its effectiveness. We highly recommend seeking an alternative eye cream for optimal results.
