Product Description
Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream is an award-winning eye cream supercharged with 4 Peptides, a blend of Omega-rich oils, 1% Bakuchiol, 2% Squalane, Vitamin C, and Ceramide to brighten, firm, nourish, and depuff the under-eye area. Formulated for all skin types.
There was a Buy One for One sale and I managed to snag Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream, together with Allies of Skin Multi Hyaluronic Antioxidant Hydration Serum. I had previously purchased Allies of Skin Peptides & Antioxidant Firming Daily Treatment and Allies of Skin Retinal & Peptides Repair Night Cream.
For someone who support local brands ( 5erenity2, IDS, Yours, Skin Inc, Frank Skincare, Handmade Heroes, Balm Kitchen, Estetica and Dr. GL ), I am pleased to add Allies of Skin to my list. I would like to believe that local products are made for our humid weather and are more focused on quality than quantity.
Allies of Skin has been on my wish list for a long time, but the price tag has put me off, so I am excited to try it out with their BOGO promotion.
A Singaporean brand with products made in USA, Allies of Skin prides itself as a customer-first, people-powered beauty brand. Started in 2016, the brand is dedicated to creating cutting-edge, smart formulas, packing their line of products with clinically-proven actives in supercharged concentrations.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream is a 15ml product in a black chic bottle with a cap and a pump dispenser. It doesn't have much of a scent and has a light buttery texture.
How To Use :
After cleansing, misting, toning and moisturising the face, apply 1 pump to eye contour daily using your ring finger for gentle application, tapping until the product is absorbed.
Performance and Ingredients
"I like to call this sleep in a bottle. It is a supercharged treatment that works on all skin types and concerns – brightening and firming the under-eye area for a fresher look daily."
ALLIES Founder, Nicolas Travis
Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream is supercharged with a high-performance Peptide blend that includes the award-winning Matrixyl® Morphomics™ and Neodermyl® actives. Used daily, this innovative alliance helps firm the eye area by working on rhytides — a.k.a. fine lines and minor creases — and improving the appearance of three types of wrinkles: crow’s feet, inner corner creases, and dehydration lines
It’s packed with a powerful combination of periorbital Brighteners — like Orchistem™ and Bioskinup™ Contour 3R to provide firmer and suppler skin over time, and help refresh tired-looking eyes by targeting dark circles and puffiness.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a potent Vitamin C derivative targets dullness and signs of fatigue while 1% Bakuchiol, a plant-derived active, provides Retinol-like benefits such as reducing the appearance of wrinkle depth and skin roughness.
With a nourishing blend of Omega-rich oils — Baobab, Rosehip, Argan and Squalane — our eye cream delivers superb hydration that helps to plump fine lines and has a rich, silky texture that melts into a thin layer upon application, swiftly sinking into the skin and leaving it soft and dewy.
Cruelty-free and formulated without Silicones, Sulfates, Denatured Alcohol, Synthetic Dyes & Fragrances and Essential Oils, Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream was like a dream in a bottle, with its amazing list of ingredients.
It caused a subtle sting on my undereye area for the first week and stung occasionally thereafter, in the first month. Thankfully, there was no such sensation in the second month of use.
According to AoS....
In some instances, you might experience a brief tingling sensation after application — often a sign that the active ingredients in the formula are working. If you experience redness or your skin feels sensitive hours after applying a product, we recommend you stop using it and check with your dermatologist.
The eye cream glided smoothly and absorbed well. After almost 3 months' use, my dry undereye area was more hydrated and looked healthier. The fine lines underneath my right eye was softened and plumped, making them looked less obvious. I am pretty pleased with the results.
Unfortunately, I was appalled and peeved when the pump stopped working after 2 months. It is a Singaporean brand and at that price point, I wasn't expecting such an issue.
I have to break the neck of the bottle to get the contents out and thereafter, dipping out with a cotton bud each time because I don't think decanting it to a tub would be beneficial to the ingredients. Now I'm just hoping that the same thing doesn't happen to the other AoS products because it definitely ruined the experience.
The key ingredients are....
3% Eyeliss : A blend of 3 actives that helps to reduce the volume of undereye bags and smooths the eye contours.
Chrysin + Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 : A cutting-edge blend of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Chrysin that lightens the appearance of dark circles, helps strengthen the delicate under-eye area, and reduces puffiness.
3 Omega-Rich Oils : Organic Rosehip Oil provides soothing properties and is also a great resource for supporting the skin and providing protection from harmful environmental aggressors.
Organic Argan Oil : Aids a number of skin concerns, from boosting hydration to reducing sebum and protecting skin from sun induced damage.
Organic Baobab Oil : Packed with Vitamins A, E, and D, and nourishing fatty acids. It helps brighten the skin, boost collagen and strengthen the skin barrier.
1% Bakuchiol : An antioxidant ingredient derived from the Babchi plant and touted as the natural alternative to Retinol. It has similar skin-resurfacing effects, minus the dryness and irritation. It helps to improve skin elasticity, hydration and firmness, reduces signs of premature ageing, and diminishes the appearance of uneven skin tone.
2% Squalane : A non-comedogenic oil that mimics the function of the skin’s natural oils and provides additional moisture to its outer layer by improving elasticity and promoting suppleness.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate : A stable but potent Vitamin C derivative that brightens and reduces the appearance of fatigue and dullness.
Ceramide : The building blocks of the skin’s defence, they help to promote moisture retention, prevent dryness and irritation, and reinforce the skin barrier for enhanced resilience and bounce.
Conclusion
To conclude, Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream left me with hydrated, healthier undereye skin with fine lines plumped up and softened, leaving them less noticeable. There was a subtle sting in the first month and the pump dispenser stopped working after 2 months.
If the pump is fixed, I may repurchase the eye cream; otherwise, I will not.
