Darphin

Darphin products seem to work really well for me, and this is near the top of the list of my favorite products from them. The instructions say to apply on wet skin, but I actually prefer to use on dry skin, and really massage it into my skin. The extra stimulation seems to add to the brightening, clarifying effect I get with any cleansing balm, but a thick formula like this in particular. My skin feels clean and bouncy, and I’m pretty certain this jar is what heaven smells like. The price is obscene but I only use it in the winter months. $49 for a 1.2 ounce heavy glass jar at Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and other retailers.

Not bad, not bad. This hand cream doesn't contain shea butter which is what I usually look for to moisturize skin elsewhere on the body that's not my face, however it does contain squalane as I've discovered! Either way, this formulation isn't greasy so you don't leave prints everywhere (ahem, Lush's Charity Pot) and there's a soothing aloe-like scent. Almost smells like... baby wipes.

I have been using this eye cream for months and it didnt help neither for puffiness nor for dark circles. ınstead Darphin claims a lot with this product but just doesnt work. On the other hand, the formula is light and a mild mosturising. Im in mid twenties and I found mosturising effect is enough for me with this product. PROS: Lightweight, good for eye cream first time users. CONS: no benefit for puffiness, dark circles, no feeling of freshness all day as Darphin claims.
