Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Eye Serum Reviews

Review of Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Intensive Eye Serum
By Gillian L.

Packaging: The serum comes in a recyclable plastic applicator tube, in a box.

Application: Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Intensive Eye Serum is a light but rich cream described as “natural Botox” for the eyes. It is a gentle, but effective treatment for dark circles, puffiness, crow’s feet and wrinkles around the eye area. It is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive and mature. It is applied twice daily, to cleansed skin. Using the applicator dot a tiny amount around each eye and tap gently to help it to absorb.

Ingredients: The 100% natural plant derived ingredients are manufactured in The Netherlands for all Barefoot Botanicals Products, according to the company’s strict ethical policy. All ingredients are vegan and cruelty free. The active ingredients include Rosa Mosqueta, Argan oil, starflower oil, Witch hazel and Q10 which combine to tone, smooth and blur out wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles .Essential oil extracts -damask rose, honeysuckle and lavender give the serum a delicate, wonderfully feminine scent.


Results: As I have very chemically sensitive skin, I have until now avoided any scented eye products, but after doing the suggested patch test I was delighted not to have any unpleasant reaction. I do not have any wrinkles or crows feet yet but do suffer from puffiness and dark circles, so applied the serum twice daily over a 6 week period. The cream left my eyes feeling refreshed and awake and I loved the delicate scent. I have noticed a definite improvement in the puffiness and also in the shade of the dark circles which are now less noticeable. I will be re ordering again soon!

Pros
Ethical, cruelty free product using only botanical ingredients which are suitable for vegans.
Very suitable for sensitive and mature skins, even if you would normally avoid scented products.
Good value for money as a little goes a long way. I am still using the 15ml tube after 6 weeks.
Cons
I can’t see any apart from fact that the price may seem expensive, if you don’t read the reviews.
