Nip and Fab has released two new products, a moisturizer and an eye cream. I was particularly excited about their No Needle Fix Moisturiser simply because of the simple packaging. Somehow I thought it would be a simple product. I ended up not liking it. The No Needle Fix Eye however, is something I did like.
NO NEEDLE FIX MOISTURIZER
40 mL- $19.95 US - $24.95 C
Osilift R Bio: Smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles with an immediate effect
Hysilk: Hydrates, nourishes, smoothes and softens skin. Provides silk-like texture
Biophiclic tm S: This natural oil found in water systems nourishes skin while acting as a 'second skin' restoring and protecting skins barrier
As I inspected the beautiful packaging of this moisturiser, I noticed a few things that concerned me. There were a lot of ingredients I hadn't heard of, fragrance was added and there was a sticker on the back that read 'Caution: Contains Benzophenone-3'. As this was sent to me, I of course felt I still needed to try it to give it a fair shot. I applied a lot of it all over my face. The scent was overwhelming - sort of like sunscreen and something else that was unpleasant. The cream felt fine but the smell was so overwhelming that I had to wash it off right away.
So what is Benzophenone-3, the fourth most concentrated ingredient in this moisturizer? It's a sunscreen-type ingredient that scored an 8 on www.ewg.org. If you clicked the link, you'll see there are a few concerns with that ingredient. Unfortunately, this just isn't a product i'd recommend from Nip + Fab.

I do like this eye cream. There are no ingredients that really concern me. Like always, it contains a bit of fragrance - which is something I don't like in skincare or products that go near my eyes - but it was very subtle. This is product is intended to make your undereye skin look younger. The product comes out as a thick gel. It definitely has a cooling sensation under my eyes until it dries. It also makes the skin feel tighter but not dry. It leaves a slight tack. I think if you have fine lines, this could make them look slightly less apparent temporarily. As for overtime, I can't say how it works on fine lines.Red Algae: Helps reduce appearance of dark circles
Tetra Peptide-5: Reduces under-eye puffiness
