breylee retinol eye serum

honestly, i didn't research much before putting this into my shopping cart. i was interested because it comes in a rollerball shape, it contains retinol and it is cheap! i was curious whether it'll work or not considering the price. and i forgot to find out about it more until it was time to try it. and to my surprised, it wasn't a local brand that i thought before. this is actually a chinese brand and imported here. oh well, let's see how it goes.

this is the description from the website: since this eye serum is designed with a roll, the active vitamin A (retinol) serum and a variety of plant extracts can be better absorbed into the skin through the eye roller. therefore, breylee retinol serum can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and eye bags, thereby lifting and tightening the eye area. 

ingredients: water, glycerin, betaine, polydimethylsiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane, polysiloxane 11, polyglycerol 10, hydrolyzed rice protein, plum apricot almond (sweet almond) seed extract, acetyl six peptide 8, hydroxyethyl acrylate/ acryloyl dimethyl taurate copolymer, yeast extract leuconostoc/radish root fermentation broth, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, mallow (mallow) flower extract, lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract, paeonia lactiflora root extract, dandelion, rhizome extract, viola retinol palmitate (retinol), caprylic/capric triglyceride, fertility phenol, tocopheryl acetate, carbomer, sodium hyaluronate, xanthan gum, ethylhexyl glycerin, flavor

the packaging: it comes in a slim purple box that's tightly wrapped in plastic. it was hard to cut the plastic wrapping. the eye serum itself comes in a plastic-pen shape, with metallic roller ball covered in a metallic screw cap. the roller ball is metal so it feels cool when comes in contact with my skin. it comes in 15 ml size.

the scent: this one is scentless.

the product: since they use rollerball to dispense the product, it's hard to see the actual product. all i know that it's a transparent watery serum that glides on easily on my skin using the rollerball. it looks like it's absorbed quicker compared to the elsheskin eye serum, but when i use my eye massager, this one gives more slip than elsheskin eye serum. i can still glide my eye massager until 5 minutes without tugging my skin.

the result: i can feel this one is hydrating and moisturizing, though it's lightweight. compared to sulwhasoo and FSS, this one is obviously very lightweight. however, when i looked at their website, it looks shady. how come in two weeks it gives significant result? so, i decided to test it myself and use it every night for two weeks. looking at the progress pictures, it does help with dark under eyes and reduce puffiness (i've been sleeping late reading too much wattpad), but i can't say the same for wrinkles and fine lines. 

i have to say it's surprising to see the result. it might not as astonishing as the result on the website, but i can say that the result is visible. with regular use, it might give better result. anyway, even though this one gives better result, i'd probably won't repurchase it again. this is just my personal preference. i don't like how the website might give wrong impression about the product. even though it works, the result displayed on the website might be deceiving to others, so i won't participate in fooling others as well. price wise, it's shockingly cheap.
