Boscia Enlivening Amino-AG Eye Treatment Review

I'm not much of an eye cream girl and I generally subscribe to the idea that the skin under your eyes is not fundamentally different from the skin on the rest of your face so it doesn't really need a separate moisturizer. However, I tried a sample of this for a week and liked it so much that I decided to purchase a full bottle. I've been using this for about two months now, so I feel like it's time for a review.

This has a gel texture that I think everyone but the most extreme skin types would be happy with. It also comes in an opaque, pump-top container so it's hygienic and the ingredients will maintain their stability.

I noticed right away that this did an excelent job of hydrating my eye area, making my skin look smoother and more plump. Since I've been using this my dark circles also seem less prominate. I'm not sure if this is actually eliminating my dark circles (which I find doubtful since my circles are caused by allergies) or if there are just fewer shadows under my eyes to emphasis them because this plumps up the area a bit - Either way I like the results.

I've also been using this all over my face during the day, underneath my sunscreen, for it's light-weight moisturizing and antioxidant benefits. A raisin sized pump is all I need to cover my entire face, so using it as a serum/moisturizer really hasn't depleted my supply - after two months of use I still have about 60% left.

Ingredients:
There are antioxidants from the olive oil and tocopherol (vitamin E), jojoba oil can help blance oil production in irritated skin, there's a variety of emollients and humectants, and like all of Boscia's products it's preservative-free.
Initially I was a little worried about the inclusion of rosemary since I have fairly sensitive skin and super sensitive eyes, but so far it hasn't been a problem for me. It does give the product a little bit of an herbal scent, which I kind of like, but it's not strong and fades quickly.

Boscia Enlivening Amino-AG Eye Treatment
Overall Score: 4.5/5
Price: $38
Summary: I haven't decided if I will repurchase this or not - $38 feels like a lot to pay for what is essentially a half oz. of gel moisturizer. That said though, I really do like the way my skin has responded to this and a half oz. goes really far.
