Confession: My mom helped me build a skincare routine when I was 19, and eye cream has always played a role in it. Now, as a professional skincare writer, I’ve purchased my fair share of pricey eye products, so the $100+ price tag for the Althaea Skin Awake Eye Gel didn’t faze me. I do have to admit that decoding the ingredient list was challenging since many of the ingredients are referenced by their trademark names, but I found the effort worthwhile since I like to know what ingredients do what.
As a general rule, I do not have dark circles (call it genetic) but puffiness and lack of elasticity are factors for my mature skin. The Awake Eye Gel truly feels refreshing when applied, more so than most gel eye products. It isn’t tacky, absorbs surprisingly fast, and doesn’t interfere with makeup application. I appreciate the inclusion of red algae (asparagopsis armata extract) because it addresses skin laxity. All things mushroom are welcome in my arsenal, and the shiitake mushroom extract (Lentinus edodes extract) gives my under eye area a firmer appearance.
Closing Thoughts: Time will tell if the firming I notice continues, but right now I’m pleased with the texture, the science, the absorption, and the cooling/firming sensation upon application. If you’re adverse to eye creams, this is, quite possibly, the nicest feeling and most effective eye gel I’ve tried in years. Way to go, Dr. Ava! 5 stars
