Review: Skincare: Mukti Organic Rosehip Eye Gel

January 15, 2009 Paris B 15 Comments

I must admit I’m a lazy sort of person. I’m even too lazy to use an eye cream most of the time. In fact, a while ago, I actually pondered upon whether one really needs an eye cream. At that time, and until recently, I wasn’t using any specific cream for the eye area. I just never felt the need to.

Mukti Rosehip Eye Gel

However, due to some bad nights I noticed that my eye area was slightly puffy and had dark circles which made me look like a close cousin of a panda. So, I picked up the Mukti Organics Rosehip eye gel to try, pretty much on a whim.

What I found was that the Mukti  eye gel was working well for me. The texture of the eye gel is light and it absorbs quickly. You only need very very little and so a bottle goes a long long way. I would however hesitate to call it a “gel” because it looks and feels like a light cream.

As Mukti Organics prides themselves on being fully certified organic, their product comes in an air-tight pump bottle. Good and bad. Good because it keeps the product untainted by air; bad because you can’t tell how much product is left in the bottle. Also, the nozzle sometimes gets a little stuck when an air bubble hits, but Mukti has anticipated that so there are instructions in the box telling you what to do when you encounter this. I just keep pumping till something gives 😛 Sometimes also, the nozzle is blocked by the dried residue of the gel. It bothers me because I’m wondering just how much gel I will waste in time!

According to the Mukti site, the “Vitamins and gel based formula will assist to sooth puffy, tired eyes. Firms and tones the skin around the delicate eye area.” and after 1 month, it was time to check the results.

After about 1 month using the Rosehip eye gel nightly and sometimes in the day, I found that to an extent, there is some truth in Mukti’s claims. My eyes do feel soothed after applying the eye gel and they lost the puffy look. The skin around my eye area too was looking more firmed up but because I don’t have lines around my eyes I cannot say if it works to reduce fine lines.

Even on days when I was feeling tired after long hours at the computer or just after a bad night, the dark circles were less obvious and there was minimal puffiness under the eye which means, less eye bags! However, it does not eradicate dark circles – they are still there, just less so. However puffiness was gone which was great.

The cream/gel is very light and absorbs very well with no oiliness or stickiness. It feels like nothing on at all! So, in the day, eye makeup stays on without slipping or sliding and the eye lid area doesn’t get oily. Lovely.

Mukti Rosehip EYe Gel

TIP: Use only a tiny bit of cream or gel to avoid more puffiness around the eyes. Always use your fourth finger or ring finger to apply eye creams as it is the weakest finger. Dab on the eye cream lightly until absorbed. Never rub or pull on the delicate skin around the eyes to avoid premature wrinkles and more lines.

The Mukti Rosehip Eye Gel retails at RM88 for 15ml and is available at Bodybar Natural Skincare. Whilst it looks pricey off hand, I think it is reasonable for an organic line and because it will last a long time… not that I’ll know how much is really left due to the packaging. Pity about that.

Pros: Soothes tired eyes, Reduces puffiness around the eyes, Firms up skin around eyes.

Cons: Solid packaging makes it hard to see how much is left, Could be considered pricey by some

    I use the Mukti eye salve that comes in the little round bottle (like a lip balm container). I totally love it and my skin is really sensitive to eye creams, so it’s been a life saver for me.

    For what it’s worth, the reason why the Mukti bottles are not see through is because any light that gets to the product will also cause it to oxidize / change its chemical properties – that’s why the Mukti bottles will make sure your product is fresher than those see through ones which I usually resort to hiding in a closed cabinet, which is not really very convenient

      Hi Li, Oh I think I saw that one too but I thought it was a bit oily. I do understand the mechanics behind why the bottles are solid but it doesn’t stop it being a pain though 🙂

      Hi Reese, Ooh another of the eye balm users! I can’t vouch for the eye balm but the cream’s pretty good.

    Eye creams are vital for me, and your review on this interest me!!! Puffiness is one big problem and this is something to look for! I am in front of the computer all day too!

      Hi Nikki, I hated using eye creams until now, because of the oiliness around the eyes. I’m not sure if Mukti is sold in PH but if it is do try it out.

    i spend an ave of 11 hrs in front of comp daily =/ this eye gel looks more like a light cream to me too (as u have said). i think dark circles can never ever go away, esp on a fair skin. regardless of the good sleeping habits, exp eye gel, they will still be there. i tried TBS whitening eye serum, but too bad it does nothing at all at whitening. So, i bought myself another bottle of bio-essence 24k gold eye gel, which worked for me the last time. hopefully i will keep sticking to what works for me instead of keep buying new stuff. lol.

      Hi prettybeautiful, don’t we all?! LOL… If you have found something that works, stick with it – I try to do that too but I’m so easily swayed by new things. Then again, who knows, you might find a jewel in a new product 😉

    Hey Paris, I don’t think at RM88, it’s expensive. it’s actually very very reasonable and half the price of what I pay for my Estee Lauder eye gel and cream(15ml too)! And I just purchased a jar of the Future Perfect eye cream (began to notice some fine lines on my lower eyelids lately) for RM175!! OUCH!! that’s almost double. may be I should take it back and exchange for some cosmetics. but I don’t need any of these now. I’m just eyeing for the Lancome #105 eyeshadow palette.

    But the next time I run out of eye cream, I’ll definitely make a trip all the way to Tropicana to buy this eye cream!

    And thanks for the advice on how to apply eye cream. Just like how to use eye makeup remover to remove eye make up. I apply my eye cream in circular motions around my eyes. Sigh!

    Nice review… =)

    Some days I get puffy and tired-looking eyes too from lack of sleep (usually my own doing thanks to books that cannot wait). I’m currently using another eye gel but I’m thinking of trying something else coz I don’t quite see the difference with the one I’m using right now.

    I’ll definitely consider this when mine runs out. =)
