The main ingredient for this product is the Jeju Orchid, harvested from the ever famous Jeju Island of Korea. However, it has quite a low percentage on the ingredient list. The product focuses more on the moisturizing and hydrating ingredients. The skin-softening ingredients present in this cream include Shea Butter, Carnauba, and Glycerin along with Squalane.

The orchid extracts are not only used for its pleasing fragrance but also for its antioxidant and moisturizing properties. Orchid extracts are rich in anti-oxidants which is very helpful when you can see signs of aging to your skin. They boost the immunity of your skin that helps in reducing and soothing fine lines.

Shea Butter has highly concentrated fatty acids which makes it an ideal ingredient to softening the skin. It has anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties that help heal, condition, tone and smooth out the skin’s surface.

Glycerin has been popularly known as an emollient that keeps the skin hydrated and moisturized. It also helps other products to seep in to the skin.

Squalane is the ingredient that is found naturally in human sebum but its quantity reduces with age. It can help in reducing the aging effect on the skin when it is added to a skincare product. Squalane is a powerful oil as people with sensitive skin can also use skin care products with this ingredient as it balances the barrier of lipid with its antioxidant properties.

This cream also includes Adenosine and Arbutin as its important ingredients due to its anti-aging properties. Adenosine energizes the skin to help in the production of your skin’s collagen levels. It has notable contributions in reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and the depth of brow wrinkles.

Arbutin contains properties that protects the skin from harmful rays of the sun. It can help achieving an even skintone by smoothing out the dark surfaces of the skin.

Benefits:

The Orchid extract present in this eye cream can offer a number of benefits to the skin around your eyes but overall the product have these benefits:

• Hydrated and moisturized skin around the eyes: It also includes hyaluronic acid extracted from the green beans found in Jeju Island to help revitalize and moisturize the skin around your eyes making it healthier looking. Which is very important because the undereye is usually dry on most people.

• Provide highly blendable and thick velvety texture to the skin: This cream blends into the skin thoroughly to give a thick, delicate, and smooth texture to the skin around your eyes. It spreads easily and your skin absorbs it really quick.

• Enrichment with extract of orchids: The extract of orchid used in this cream is extracted from the Cymbidium Orchid found in Jeju. They use Orchid Elixir 2.0 as an ingredient in this cream due to its high concentration. It helps in strengthening and nourishing the skin around your eyes along with improving its elasticity.

• Smoothens out wrinkles and fine lines: This product has antioxidant and anti-aging properties that help generating collagen production to maintain skin’s elasticity. Collagen is responsible for making your skin look firmer, supple and younger.

• Reduces puffiness. Its anti-inflammatory properties will help in reducing the redness, swelling and puffiness of your undereye area.

• Doesn’t cause Milia. There’s been cases that some people have developed Milia from other eye creams and this Innisfree Jeju Orchid Eye cream, smoothed it out. Continued usage of the product also didn’t cause any development of Milia too.

Scent:

It offers a lasting delicate fragrance of orchids. It has that floral scent, not too overpowering, in my opinion. It’s not the ‘old-grandma’ floral scent. It actually has that fresh floral scent and it doesn’t sting or disturb my eyes.

Now, if you are very sensitive to floral scents, this might put you off. It might also cause you irritations and allergies.

Formulation:

It comes in a white whipped look on it. When you swatch it on the back of your hand, it feels a bit heavy and thick. But when you apply it on your undereye area, it doesn’t feel heavy at all. Not too light and not too thick. Enough for your undereye to absorb the product.

Packaging:

They have purposely packed this cream in a purple-colored package. The secret behind its purple package is that purple color goes with most of the Korean skin care products with anti-aging features. When you untwist the lid, you will see a film and you need to remove it to get the product.

Price and Availability:

It contains 30 ml of product for the price range of USD 20 to USD 29. Very reasonably priced considering that the tub is literally packed and full. It will last you for several months. Innisfree has quite a number of physical stores internationally. There are also online Korean Skincare retailers where you can purchase and have the products delivered to your doorstep.

How To Apply Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream

Instructions based from their website:

After applying your serums and essence, get a right amount of product and spread it around your under eye area.

How I use it:

Applying the Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream is pretty easy. I use the cream twice a day, every morning and night. I only swipe a pea sized product from and gently applying it on my under eye. What I like to do is I tap my eyes gently and let it stay there so that the skin can freely absorb it.

My Take On The Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream

The dryness around my eyes has been reduced considerably after using Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream for a few weeks! It did fade the visibility of my wrinkles too. My under eye area stays hydrated throughout the day. I can definitely feel how supple and fresh my undereye area is, way better than before. The scent doesn’t bother my eyes, it is actually very soothing, in my opinion. It even has that cooling effect under my eyes too! I love the overall look it gives to my skin, I definitely feel and look younger!

If you use it during the day and apply makeup on top, it will help your concealer to sit beautifully unto your under eye area. Less creasing especially on the inner corners.

To conclude, this eye cream performs really well on my under eye area. Very true to its claims, my under eye stays hydrated and moisturized. It did its job in fading away the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

You can use it once or twice a day depending on what your skin needs. A little goes a long way for this product. It will surely last you for months. If your skin tends to get very dry during the winter or colder seasons, you can add this product to give you extra hydration.

Just a little tip, always use your ring finger when you apply products unto your undereye area.

Overall, this is such a great product! I would highly recommend this to people with very dry undereye and also to matured skin. This will surely make you look radiant and younger than before! SHOP NOW
