i wanted to try their eye gel, the old tripeptide one, but at that time, i had several eye creams in my stash already, so i didn't buy it. i was curious about their ceramic tip, but it didn't make me curious enough so i postponed my plan to buy it. but then, i finally managed to finish one of two eye creams that i used at that time, so i decided to buy it at last. however, at that time, they've released another version of this eye gel. a newer one. with different ingredients. and i have to say that i'm interested in the new one rather than the old one, so i bought the second version.
this is the description from their website: your ultimate eye game changer. ultimate game changer instantly helps correct fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes area as it's equipped with potent antioxidants from korean red pine and resurrection stem cells, also powerful 6-potent peptides:
- copper tripeptide-1 (copper regenerating peptide): increases collagen and elastin production
- acetyl hexapeptide -8 (botox-like effect peptide): reduces wrinkles by up to 11%
- acetyl tetrapeptide-5 (puffy eyes reducing peptide): reduces eye bag volume by up to 24,2%
- palmitoyl tripeptide-38 (wrinkle filling peptide): reduce wrinkle volume up to 21,1% in 2 months
- palmitoyl tripeptide-1 & palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 (dark circle reducing double peptide): combining 2 peptide to reduce panda eyes by 19%
enriched with acacia senegal gum & hydrolyzed rhizobian gum which function as a natural eye tightener & encapsulated ceramide that can smoothen, tighten, and hydrate the eye area. a lightweight cream-gel with ceramic tip that provides cooling sensation for a fresher eye look.

main ingredients:
-wrinkle filling peptide (palmitoyl tripeptide-38): an essential component that stimulates the production of 6 major skin tissues. it is able to increase collagen production, repair damaged skin tissue, increase skin moisture and elasticity.
- botox-like effect peptide & copper regenerating peptide (acetyl hexapeptide-8 & copper tripeptide-1): acetyl hexapeptide-8 is able to inhibit the formation of wrinkles in 14 days (known as botox-like effect). copper tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) helps heal wounds, contains anti-inflammatory & antioxidant properties.
- dark circle reducing peptide (palmitoyl tripeptide-1& palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7): a combination of 2 matrix peptides that strengthen the skin in the eye area and reduce pigment from blood that causes dark circles.
- puffy eyes reducing peptide (acetyl tetrapeptide-5): works by preventing protein deficiency while strengthening the eye-area skin so that it's effective in reducing eye bags in 28 days, dark circle in 14 days, increasing elasticity and hydrating the eye area.
- natural eye tightener (acacia senegal gum, hydrolyzed rhizobian gum): the combination of these two strong polymer structures is clinically proven to tighten skin and reduce signs of aging, tightens skin quickly (instant lifting effect), reduces the appearance of crow's feet.
- encapsulated ceramide (ceramide NP): more stable so that it can fulfill the needs of ceramide in skin as it contains anti-inflammatory properties, provides optimal moisture and strengthens skin barrier.
- resurrection plant stem cell (myrothamnus flabellifolia callus culture extract): functions as an antioxidant that protects skin from oxidative damage, uv rays and pollution. also protects DNA, making it suitable as an anti-aging agent.
- pinus needle extract (pinus densiflora leaf extract): pine densiflora contains phenolic compounds (gallic acid) and flavonoids (cathechins) which are antioxidant, help soothe skin and help brighten skin.
- panthenol: it's also known as vitmain B5. it hydrates the skin optimally because it functions as a humectant which is a compound that can attract and retain moisture in the air into the skin. panthenol can coat the skin so that it keeps the skin smooth and soft.

| the tube |
the packaging: it comes in turqoise box with the picture of the product at front with description and ingredients list on the side. let me remind you that at this point, somethinc has two type of eye gels, one is tripeptide one, and the other is this one, which is the game changer. both eye gel has similar design, so make sure to read the name carefully. anyway, the eye gel comes in turquise plastic squeeze tube with white screw cap. they use wide ceramic tip as a way to dispense the product. there's a tiny hole in the middle of the tip where the product comes out so you can easily squeeze the product out and then spread it around while massaging it with the ceramic tip. they say you can fridge it so the tip will be cooler, but i never try it. it comes in 20 ml.

the scent: obviously this one is scentless.

| how it looks like on my hand |
the product: it's a white gel cream that's quite thick. in my opinion, the texture leans toward cream rather than gel. since it's quite thick, it's a bit hard to spread around with the ceramic tip. but after massaging it continuously with the tip, the eye gel starts to sink in. anyway, i've tried using it without my eye massager (just relying on the tip) and with my eye massager. i'm glad that my eye massager can work well with this eye gel. it doesn't dry out while i use the eye massager.

| top: before bottom: after okay, it does help with the eye bad a little after looking at the progress picture, maybe even more so if you don't stay up late every night like i do |
the result: right off the bat, i can feel that this one is moisturizing. it's quite rich so it's very moisturizing. however, even though it's rich and thick, it doesn't cause milia on me. if i have to compare the texture, it would be similar to sulwhasoo eye cream (which i'm not sure still exist). i have to agree that in the long run it helps to smoothen and tighten the eye area. it certainly helps with the elasticity. however, i don't think it helps much with dark circles.
i have to say that unfortunately, this one is not my favorite eye gel. even though it's moisturizing and in the long run seems to help with the elasticity, somehow i don't find it enjoyable while using this eye gel. i don't know why. anyway, that doesn't mean that this eye gel is bad. in fact, this is great if you're looking for a moisturizing eye gel. a stronger one to maintain elasticity around eyes area. especially if you're 25 years or above. but if you're looking for an eye product that reduce dark circles, then this one might not be the best in that area. that being said, i won't repurchase this one. in fact, i've bought other eye product that i'm interested in because of its applicator. anyway, this eye gel is easy to get from everywhere and the price is really affordable, so try it if you think it'll be suitable for you.
