The product: Good Molecules Yerba Mate Caffeine Eye Gel
Eye gels are one of those products that I just… don’t usually like. They’re just so finicky: most eye gels come in an unsanitary little pot or an awkward pump that gives you enough product for your whole face, and for the most part, they just don’t really do anything. I am loathe to use an eye cream or an eye gel, but the Good Molecules Yerba Mate Caffeine Eye Gel makes me excited to put my eye gel on in the morning.
(And in the night. It’s that easy to use!)
The Good Molecules Yerba Mate Caffeine Eye Gel Packaging
Good Molecules addresses my two main concerns with their caffeine eye gel. Their yerba mate formula is packaged in a small metal tube, which means that you have control over exactly how much product you’re using. Nothing goes to waste. Because of this, their shockingly cheap product ($6 USD!!!!) lasts and lasts and lasts.
This tiny tube is easy to open and great for travel and tiny bathroom countertops, and it always makes me want to use it again. I’ve applied a little eye gel twice a day since I started product testing (about a month ago). A month is the longest I’ve ever lasted with an eye cream or gel with perfect consistency — probably by a few weeks!
Good Molecules Caffeine Eye Gel Ingredients & Texture
The Good Molecules Caffeine Eye Gel excels in its texture and formula — which is listed by ingredient percentage for complete transparency, like every Good Molecules product. Its unscented formula is lightweight and silicone-free, and it isn’t greasy.
I find that this Good Molecules eye gel takes a few minutes to sink in. After that, it isn’t sticky or oily. I’m prone to flaking under my eyes if my moisturizer isn’t cutting it; this eye gel keeps any flaking at bay. But it doesn’t do too much, either, noticeably de-puffing with regular use and wearing well under eyeliner.
I didn’t have enough yerba mate in the house to make this photo look good.
The Good Molecules Eye Gel Verdict?
The Good Molecules Yerba Mate Caffeine Eye Gel didn’t seem to help my dark circles with regular use, but it definitely made my eye area less puffy. (In that eye cream way that’s super noticeable to you, because it’s your face and you see it all the time, but that no one else can quite put their finger on.)
I loved the tidy packaging and non-greasy formula of this caffeine eye gel, as well as its vegan, silicone-free formula. It’s worth buying!
Availability: $6 USD at Good Molecules. Permanent.
