Biotique's Worst Product - Biotique Almond Under Eye Cream

I don't have puffy eyes, but of late, I noticed that there is a significant discoloration of  skin under my eyes --   I would hate to use the word dark circles, but I have to admit that the discoloration is quite prominent.

So while on the quest for a suitable under eye cream, I came across  Biotique's Bio-Almond -- an almond undereye cream that is supposed to brighten under eye area and eliminate puffiness.

Biotique Almond Under Eye Cream For Dark Circles & Puffiness 16 g

My review:
I was impressed by the amount of natural ingredients in it. It has Oils of Nutmeg (jaiphal tail), Almond (badam tail), Sunflower (surajmukhi tail), Quince Seed Gel (Bihidana Luvab), Vitamin A, C, E and a cream base. It comes in a small green coloured jar and the cream itself is a bit thick.

Only a tiny bit is required to cover the whole under eye area. I applied the cream in small dots  and gently massaged the under eye skin every night.

But, sad to say, even after using it for over two months, I  hardly noticed any difference in the under eye area. I feel that it does nothing else apart from keeping your under eye area hydrated.  Also I hate to put my fingers into the jar each time and the cream has started to dry as well.

I think I should have transferred some of it into a smaller jar before using it. Also I could have had used a Q-tip, instead of my fingers to extract the contents and dot the eye area. To conclude, I am terribly disappointed with this eye cream and wish I had never purchased it.

  1. Hey,

    I too have used this product and sadly have had an similar experience.

    This cream did almost nothing for the undereye area.

    The bioweed under eye gel is quite useless. In fact it dried up my under eye skin and caused more lines. Also caused some rash around the area. Please avoid.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker. 

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
