This review is so overdue, as I included this product in my
Beauty Products Currently Under Review post
way back in May 2018 and I have only very recently put it to the test.
Luckily they hadn't expired!
The Dragon's Blood Eye Mask from Rodial
has been a fave of many beauty editors and celebs for sometime now and
it promises to revive, awaken and refresh tired eyes.
My current "can't live without" eye mask for several years now and especially for travel has been the
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery Eye Mask
This eye mask from Rodial sounds right up my beauty street and knowing how I love a good eye mask, during flights more than any other time, let's see if this one could in fact
become my new travel companion (once we can travel again)...
These innovative gel eye masks have been
formulated to provide intense hydration to the delicate eye area and provide an immediate
de-puff and cooling effect to help the eyes look instantly
brighter and more alert.
The list of active ingredients below look highly promising.
Dragon's Blood:
(Not blood from a Dragon, but rather from the Croton Lechleri tree)
Lifts, firms and smooths skin while reducing redness and inflammation.
Hyaluronic Acid:
Provides longlasting hydration, while plumping the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Arnica Extract:
Reduces under-eye puffiness and dark circles.
Bio-cellulose:
Deeply hydrating.
Unfortunately I didn't find them the easiest of masks to use and I found them a little sticky and tricky to handle and it's somewhat of a skill to prevent them from
folding over and sticking back onto themselves.
Also try to position correctly first time and try not to re position whilst on the skin.
Instructions for Use:
Remove each eye mask from the plastic sheet and apply bio-cellulose mask
directly to the under eye area on cleansed skin.
Place narrow side towards the nose, wide side to outer corner of the eye.
Remove the second protective fabric sheet.
Leave on for 20-30 minutes and peel away.
Gently massage any residue into skin.
Discard mask after use.
I found the eye masks to be drenched in serum and there was plenty left in the
sachet to use for a couple more applications, obviously without the actual eye mask.
(Just re-seal the sachet well)
Once applied the Bio-Cellulose technology which acts like a second skin, seemed to almost blend into the skin as opposed to sitting on the surface, which was a nice feature.The eye mask was extremely cooling and as its infused with Dragon's Blood Complex it intensely moisturised and de-puffed the skin around the eye area, even if the skin is sensitive.
My fatigued eyes were definitely feeling more perky after use, the skin also looked brighter and felt comforted, cooled and refreshed. I would highly recommend and without hesitation I'd re-purchase.
One last note:
Would the Rodial Dragon's Blood Eye Mask be travelling with me in future? Sadly NO and that's not due to any poor performance of the product, but it has more to do with the issue of tricky application making it not ideal during a long haul flight especially.
So for now Estée remains my "travel partner".
