As a beauty enthusiast desperately seeking a stealthy solution to my genetically disposed undereye bags (thanks Mom), I was very intrigued when a tiny white satchel that promises to visibly fade the appearance of bags in 45-seconds landed on my desk via Style.com/Arabia’s fitness guru, Dannielle Blaker, who swears by its effects.
THE PRODUCT
The Jeunesse Instantly Ageless (US $75; AED/SAR 275) product comes packaged in a sleek, white box that boasts 50 supercharged satchels. The ingredient list includes various peptides and silicates that are proven to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including Argilerine (which is said to work like Botox), Sodium, and Magnesium Silicate. Each packet is designed to give you upwards of 3 uses.
HOW TO APPLY
Gently massage the packet between your fingers to ensure that the potent ingredients are combined. Then, using your ring finger, gently tap a pea-sized amount of the formula onto your under-eye area. Those who want to jumpstart their makeup regimen can speed up the drying time by fanning the area. You can also daub the product around your eyebrow area for an instant brow lift, across your forehead to tighten fine lines, or on your nasolabial lines to reduce wrinkles.
THE TEST
I patted a dime-sized amount of the formula under my right eye only for the purpose of comparing. I instantly felt my skin retract and tighten. I then made sure to keep my face motionless for two minutes and waited for the purported age-reversal cream to work its magic.
THE VERDICT
Once the two minutes were up, I whipped out my compact to check my reflection and immediately saw the difference between the left and the right side of my face. The treated eye area was visibly smoother and crease free. Where my dark circles were prominent underneath my left eye, they were virtually non-existent on the opposite side. Our verdict: the Jeunesse Instantly Ageless product deserves a spot in your beauty bag.
