Read my review of Zenmed eye serum, what I did, and what I found.
Disclosure: The essential eye serum is a sample sent to me by ZENMED. They do not endorse this post. I wrote it entirely myself and all opinions are my own and 100% honest.
Trying a new eye serum to erase under eye circles
When I heard that ZENMED has a new eye-serum I wanted to try it. You probably have noticed that I have inherited loss of under eye collagen. I recall my maternal grand mom having it in an even more severe way than I do.
Even when it’s not genetics, age, and tiredness also cause the skin around your eyes to start weakening, reducing collagen support, and your eyelids can begin to droop. For all these reasons, I am constantly on the search for a product that helps me to get rid of my raccoon look. Not that I have something against these cute animals, but it’s not a look I want to go for. I don’t like that my eyes give my age away and/or just the fact that I didn’t get all the sleep I wanted/needed.
It’s not another concealer that covers up
When I opened the package, I was astonished to see that the bottle contained a creamy, white-colored serum. I am not sure what I expected, probably something with a tan color or clear drops to put onto the area. Anyhow. I asked my husband to take a close-up photo of my eye area as the before photo, so you and I can see whether the eye serum has an impact on my really stubborn under-eye circles (see the photo below).
My experience with the product
Then I applied the serum onto my dark circles and the area under my brows by tapping it in with my ring finger. The serum has a nice cooling effect. After absorbing the creamy serum, my skin feels tightened positively. According to the description, the special anti-aging peptide Matrixyl is responsible for the tightening and lifting of this delicate skin.
I repeated the application for 10 consecutive days. The photo above was taken after these 10 days of application. What do you think? In my opinion, the dark circles do not seem as dark and deep as they were ten days ago. My fine lines, dark circles, and occasional puffiness seem to disappear with this fortified under- and over-eye serum virtually. Also, my skin feels more moisturized. The creamy product also improved the look of my eyelids. Compare the photos: In the upper one, I have a funny fold over each eye that disappeared in the after photo. According to the description, the caffeine in the serum helps to smooth and firm the skin, reducing puffiness and the appearance of tired eyes. I hope that continuing the application will further improve the appearance of my under-eye area. Fingers crossed.
Price-Performance Ratio
The ZENMED essential eye serum is definitely much better than the product I used before. The price is $46. However, I am willing to pay the price for a better look. Honestly, one doesn’t have to apply much. Thus, I expect the bottle to last at least three months. This means it’s a bit over $15.33 a month. That’s about the equivalent of one visit to the cinema a month, or five lattes. The latter aren’t great for the waistline anyhow. I think it’s more essential to diminish the appearance of these circles. I think the reduction of the dark circles is worth the money spent on it. Are you with me on this?
Who would love this product?
This product is a perfect fit for all women with inherited stubborn under-eye circles or who often get too little sleep because of being stressed out. The serum minimizes the appearance of dark circles. It also reduces the unwanted look of droopy eyelids. This light, fast-absorbing micro-delivery cream works for all skin types and is even safe for sensitive eyes. It can be combined with all ZENMED products. It is non-comedogenic and oil-free, i.e., no shiny areas that draw attention to wrinkles and fine lines. I definitely recommend this product to my best female friends, and I firmly believe my late grandma would have loved the product too.
You can order this new improved ZENMED essential eye serum on their web page in the category anti-aging products.
Review of Zenmed Eye Serum in a Nutshell
I tested this ZENMED essential eye serum for only ten days and saw a notable reduction in my dark circles and improvement in my skin. The fold over my eyes is gone! In my opinion, the change justifies the price of the product for my money.
