I purchased The Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick when I was in Korea then. As much as I like to say I don't succumb to cute packaging, sometimes I do, especially if the price is reasonable. HAHA!
Packaging, Scent and Texture
The Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick is housed in a cylinder-like tube with a cute polar bear design as shown above.
Just like how a lip balm works, you twist and turn the tube to get the stick contents out - it has a cooling sensation and a strong perfume-y fragrance. Just imagine how a glue stick looks like and you get the drift.
Performance and Ingredients
Amazon has pretty good reviews on The Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick. However, it just didn't work for me. The product felt too gimmicky and the cooling sensation doesn't last beyond than 3 minutes. It is said to come from the Iceland Mineral Water but I think the the high alcohol content also plays a part.
While the silky smooth textured eye stick glides easily on the undereye area or wherever you need depuffing, its not exactly a gentle product as the stick is quite stiff and I am afraid of tugging and causing more fine lines than necessary.
Yet at the same time, the product felt too mild to be able to do anything to the undereye area. The texture is thin and doesn't provide any reassurance that it can eradicate eye bags or hydrate my dry undereye area.
That said, it is kind of relaxing with the cool sensation ( which lasted for about 3 minutes ) but thats about it. You can also keep it in the fridge for a better experience.
After 2 months of twice daily usage, I still don't see any difference to the undereye area, not that I expect it would. If your eyes are tired, you can use the Hydrating Eye Stick and treat it as a mini eye spa relaxing session but don't expect too much.
In terms of ingredients, The Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick uses 5% Iceland Mineral Water to provide the cooling sensation. It is not caused by menthol or artificial ingredients. Iceland Moss, Kelp and Iceland plants helps to provide moisture.
