My $6 gel reduces the puffiness of my eyes, I’m so obsessed with it that I bought 9 more products from the brand

I admit that I didn’t pay much attention to my skin care until I was almost 25 and started to develop bags under my eyes.

But after trying a $6 eye gel that you can buy at Target, Ulta, and Walmart, I was so impressed that I purchased 9 more products from the same brand to expand my anti-aging routine.

From my late teens to early twenties, my skin care routine consisted of nothing more than a moisturizing soap, a facial lotion, and the occasional spritz of rose water.

When I heard my friends and social media influencers raving about the latest celebrity skincare trends, I realized I hadn’t been paying as much attention to my own skin.

With my 25th birthday fast approaching and the bags under my eyes getting bigger and bigger, I wondered if there was a way to slow down the aging process and bring some vibrancy to my skin.

With early morning gym sessions and commuting to work being part of my regular schedule, I knew I needed something to wake me up. Because let’s face it, cold water doesn’t always cut it.

I also wanted my eyes to look a little less tired when I started the day.

But I also didn’t want to break the bank — I just can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars on one eye cream like some celebrities do (cough cough student loans).

After some research, I came across the brand Good Molecules on Amazon and was intrigued by the Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel.

Not only did the $5.99 price tag catch my attention, but I was also pleased with the brand’s promise that it will “reduce the signs of puffiness and plump up fine lines.”

I immediately added the gel to my cart and patiently waited through the two-day delivery time (thanks, Amazon Prime).

A REFRESHING FEELING

I received the first order of my Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel on March 27th.

When I first applied it under my eyes, I felt an instant energy boost in my skin. It was similar to how my mind feels after a cup of caffeinated tea in the morning (I haven’t gotten around to coffee yet).

I wasn’t surprised to see that the gel’s ‘Nothing to Hide’ ingredients list contains caffeine, but it also contains hydrating hyaluronic acid.

Yerba mate contains antioxidants and is said to provide “brighter, more radiant skin.”

It spread easily and had a cooling effect, leaving me feeling refreshed.

As I continued to massage the gel in, I also noticed that my skin felt tighter.

This firming effect has made my eyes look less puffy now that I’ve been using the gel for the past five months.

SKIN CARE PRODUCT

Because I was so impressed with the gel, I decided to try other products from Good Molecules, including the vegan brand’s serums and a moisturizer.

I specifically use the retinol cream, hyaluronic acid serum, peptide serum, and moisturizer, all of which cost between $8 and $12.

I also added Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Face Oil, $10.97, to my list after my best friend recommended it, as well as Elf Skin’s Holy Hydration! Eye Cream, $10.

I recommend pairing the Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel with products like these for a complete and balanced skin care routine.

Because I was so happy with the results, I ordered a bunch of other products from Good Molecules, including the niacinamide serum for just $5.99.

I also purchased their exfoliating night treatment, vitamin C booster, squalane oil, rosehip oil and body serum.

Yes, that’s a lot of skin care, but all 10 products cost me less than $100.

Because it was such a good deal, I had to tell all my friends about Good Molecules.

Although my skincare routine looks very different than it used to, I still haven’t forgotten my tried and true Garnier face mist and Cetaphil lotion. These are also real bargains.
