Product Description
Sulwhasoo Time Treasure Invigorating Eye Cream is a premium total anti-aging eye cream formulated with highly concentrated Upright Korean Red Pine coupled with Poria cocos to fortify the eye area for firmer looking skin.
I usually emptied 2 eye gels/creams a year ( a 15ml size typically lasts me for about 6 months ) but have yet to find any effective eye products so far. Almost wondering if I should be getting the more expensive eye creams out there although my pockets would definitely not be happy.
Thank goodness that I received Sulwhasoo Time Treasure kit with my last Sulwhasoo purchase and the first product which I wanted to try so badly is this Sulwhasoo Time Treasure Invigorating Eye Cream. It is a 4ml travel-sized sample and the full retail size of 25ml costs an eye-popping $360.

Sulwhasoo Timetresasure Invigorating Line contains skin-fortifying, age-defying DAA (De-Aging Active), which exists in a limited amount deep inside the precious Red Pine. The re-newed Timetreasure Invigorating Line has twice enriched Red Pine DAA, using the leaves of 50-years-old Geumgang Pine of Uljin.
Sulwhasoo Time Treasure Invigorating Eye Cream is Sulwhasoo’s signature eye cream and is ranked no. 1 for 6 consecutive years by Beaute Research in the eye and lip care category for department stores from 2013 to 2018.
And of course, I am definitely excited to try out the eye cream! Are you curious to hear how it fare? Lets delve down deeper.....
Packaging, Scent and Texture
The 4ml travel-sized sample of Sulwhasoo Time Treasure Invigorating Eye Cream which I owned comes in the same beautiful plastic jar like retail but in a miniature size. It has the same luxury feel and at first glance, it looked like a 15ml size instead.
The herbal floral scent was lovely and gave the impression that you are being transported to a lush spa while the dense mesh-like texture has a subtle cooling sensation with a slight silicon-y smooth after-feel.
How To Use :
1) Apply morning and night.
2) Gently tap a small amount beneath each eye and around the orbital bone to smooth and hydrate with your fingertips.
Tip : Use third and fourth fingers of both hands to gently massage the eye areas.
Performance and Ingredients
This deliciously rich, powerhouse anti-ager quenches the orbital area instantly, but also works to battle lines, dark circles, and puffiness over time due to the potent blend of Korean Red Ginseng saponin and Korean Red Pine.
Powerful anti-aging benefits extracted from Korean Red Pine helps improve the look of skin resilience around the eye area for younger, healthy-looking eyes. Its rich and moisturizing texture over the eye area is said to visibly minimizes wrinkles, creating a smooth skin texture.
I have fine lines and eye bags and was desperately hoping to see results with Sulwhasoo Time Treasure Invigorating Eye Cream which lasted me for about 3 months with twice daily usage.
The dense mesh-like texture has a subtle cooling sensation upon immediate application. It felt rich with a slight silicon-y after-feel and took awhile to be absorbed into skin, leaving a slightly smoother area in its place. However, there was a subtle stickiness which never seem to go away.
Despite being soft and smooth, the texture felt somewhat slightly dry and does not glide as easily as I hope and seems to tug on the undereye area occasionally.
You only need a tiny amount each time and with 3 months of regular usage, I noticed the undereye area is slightly firmer. However, the fine lines and eye bags were still apparent.
Korean Red Pine : a powerful source of antioxidants, helps strengthen the skin's barrier to reduces moisture loss.
Red Ginseng ( saponin ) : helps diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Poria Cocos Mushroom extract : Also known as Hoelen or Fu Ling, the extract of Poria Cocos absorbs the energy from the roots of the pine trees and helps the eye area look firmed up and provide a strengthening effect to skin.

Conclusion
To conclude, Sulwhasoo Time Treasure Invigorating Eye Cream is a luxury product with a hefty price tag and is not for every one. It has a long list of ingredients which may not be ideal for those with sensitive skin.
While it does left my undereye area slightly smoother and firmer but I still don't think its worth the splurge unless I experienced more visible benefits.
