Ovaco - Sharonspendstoomuch review for Eye Wrinkle Smooth Out Serum

I received the Ovaco Eye Wrinkle Smooth Out Core Serum from @0.8liter at a very discounted price of $4 in exchange for my honest review. This is an anti-aging eye cream that targets fine lines, crow’s feet, dark circles & puffiness. Benefits: ▪️Reduce fine lines and wrinkles under eyes & mouth area ▪️Brightens & diminishes dark eye circles ▪️Improves skin texture & promotes skin elasticity Key Ingredients: ▪️Glycerin ▪️Niacinamide ▪️Sodium DNA ▪️Six Peptides ▪️Ceramide NP ▪️Phytosterols (from pomegranate extract) ▪️Adenosine ❌ Contains shea butter, beeswax and added fragrance Packaging: 30ml/1oz pale pink tube with gold lettering and cap. Retails for $32 Texture: White creamy texture (thicker than a serum), with a strong floral scent My Experience: I received this eye serum only about 9 days ago, so I have not had a chance to see the full benefits of this product. This is my first time using anything from this Korean brand. I used a pea-sized amount both AM/PM, lightly patting it around the entire orbital area. The cream is pretty lightweight and it absorbs quickly with no stickiness, but I hated the smell. It reminds me of rose scented powder, but it does fade after a few minutes. In looking at the ingredients list, it does contain several essential oils and added fragrance. I like that it is full of peptides, ceramides & adenosine, but was unsure what Sodium DNA was & it’s use in skin products. I did a search on Google and it is apparently derived from salmon sperm (!). It has regenerative properties with the ability to reduce wrinkles & promote skin elasticity. Sound gross but it is the closest DNA to human DNA & keeps skin hydrated. The eye serum did help to brighten & firm around my eye area and it was nicely moisturizing. I did not try it around the mouth area yet, but will do so next. I did not have any irritation, but anyone with sensitivity to beeswax probably should not use this cream. A little bit definitely goes a long way, so while it was expensive at $32, it will last a long time. I didn’t see any improvement in fine lines or dark circles, but it did help resolve some puffiness. That being said… I haven’t used it long enough, so will keep using it a little longer to see the long term benefits. I probably would not purchase this though because I really do not like the smell.
