Now Kiehl’s is proud to introduce Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer, a treatment targeting a common concern among men – tired, puffy eyes. This instantly cooling formula is packaged in a first-of-its-kind for Kiehl’s – a compact stick that allows the treatment to gently and easily apply to the under eye skin, an area that requires careful attention as the skin is less resilient than other areas of the face and body. As environmental aggressors increase and personal schedules become more demanding, Kiehl’s has formulated a refreshing solution to rejuvenate the eye area and reduce the visible signs of fatigue.

Featuring energy boosting Arctic Root adaptogen plant, known to survive in extreme conditions, Caffeine to minimize puffiness, and Hibiscus Tea known to improve skin hydration, these natural ingredients work together to revive and awaken tired eyes. The Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer utilizes natural moisturizers, including honey, to quench dry under eyes with gentle yet rich hydration made specifically to treat the eye area.

The Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer glides on easily without dragging or pulling, leaving an immediate cooling sensation. Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer is available at Kiehl’s Since 1851 stores and Kiehls.com.

Key Formula Attributes:

• The formula helps reduce under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and signs of fatigue
• Immediate refreshing, cooling sensation upon application
• Portability
• Long lasting hydration
• Lightweight, non-greasy texture will not creep into eyes

Key Ingredients:

Arctic Root
• Also known as “Vitality Elixir” with its ability to help reduce signs of fatigue
• Part of the adaptogen plants due to its ability to increase resistance to visible signs of stress

A total dud… Komenuka Bijin’s Makeup Remover

makeupremover.jpg

I tried this product, based on this review below:

Product Description
All-Natural and fragrance-free, Komenuka Bijin’s Makeup Remover gently removes makeup and cleans pores. Vitamins A, B1, and B2 rejuvenate your skin while removing makeup, and aloe helps make your skin truly healthy.Fragrance-free, Komenuka Bijin’s Makeup Remover gently removes makeup and cleans pores. Vitamins A, B1, and B2 rejuvenate your skin while removing makeup, and aloe helps make your skin truly healthy. If you’re looking for a safe, all-natural, and effective anti-aging regimen you’ve found it in rice bran – a centuries old beauty regimen and the secret of the ageless Japanese complexion.

Benefit from the miracle that’s been around for centuries!

The Japanese have known for generations that the potent vitamins and antioxidants in rice cleanse, tone, tighten, and regenerate softer and suppler skin. Now it’s available in a highly concentrated unscented formula, along with other pure and all natural ingredients. No other product are available, at any price, with such a high amount of potent ingredients and no chemicals or artificial fillers. You’ll use less and see visible results sooner than other more expensive products.

TrueRenu does the searching – and researching – for you. We look for hard to find, hard working products that do what they promise, and we bring them to you with detailed descriptions. We like Komenuka Bijin for its high amounts of antioxidant rich rice bran, and other natural ingredients. Because the active ingredient is so dominant, you’ll see the benefits sooner – and use less.

Product Size: Net Weight: 100g, or about 3.5 ounces.

But let me tell you, I thought this product STUNK. It’s a makeup remover, shouldn’t it remove makeup? I wear black eyeliner at times, and this remover wouldn’t remove the liner. It left me with makeup still on my face, and I was extremely frustrated. The two times I tried this product, I had to finish with another face wash – just to get the eye makeup off! Not to mention this product left a slimy film on my face. It wasn’t a good product at all, and I’m not going to tell you where you can buy it – cause it costs $36! If you’re looking for a makeup remover like I was – stick with the always amazing Lancome’s Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover.
