Say bye to dark puffy eyes and chapped lips with Celeteque!

Earlier this month, I received products from Unilab for review. And while a big part of this blog houses restaurant reviews, I can't be any happier to dedicate this spot for something beauty-related. In all honesty, I was so giddy when I received my loot. It came at a perfect time because I was about to buy these exact same products! Could you believe it?

Inside the parcel came five boxes each of the Celeteque Brightening Eye Tuck Plus Dark Circles Lightener and the Celeteque Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm. I have not used any of these products yet prior to receiving them, but they are just two of the many Celeteque DermoScience™ items I was eying to buy the last time I went to Watsons.

Since receiving them in the mail, I have given these products about two weeks to try. So now, let me share with you what I think about them.

CELETEQUE BRIGHTENING EYE TUCK PLUS DARK CIRCLES LIGHTENER

First up is this eye cream that promises to fight off eye puffiness and dark circles, while improving skin elasticity that also helps in preventing formation of fine lines...

The Celeteque Brightening Eye Tuck Plus Dark Circles Lightener comes in a 15ml tube. It contains Eyeseryl Tetrapeptide Complex that counters the formation of loose skin around the eyes effectively by improving the skin's elasticity and fighting water accumulation. It also promises to significantly lighten the eye area in just four weeks.

Now, I've never ever tried using an eye cream since I've always thought I'm still quite young to be using one. However, the Celeteque Brightening Eye Tuck Plus Dark Circles Lightener is perfect for me since I have puffiness under my eyes which while I normally like (makes my eyes look cute), can sometimes get too puffy and unflattering.

The product can also help lighten dark circles which has been one of my minor but long-time problem. Not only do I have darkness under my eyes, but even my eyelids and the area around the eyes are dark! (Parang panda lang diba?)

My dark eye area... By the way, please excuse my unruly brows.

Another bonus of the Celeteque Brightening Eye Tuck Plus Dark Circles Lightener is how it can also help prevent fine lines. At the moment, I'm not yet too worried about fine lines and crow's feet. But in beauty and skincare, it's better to be early and prepared!

Celeteque DermoScience Brightening Eye Tuck plus Dark Circles Lightener (P299)

• Pretty inexpensive at P299 per 15ml tube
• Fights off eye puffiness, darkness, and even prevents fine lines
• Dermatologist-tested, ophthalmologist-tested, non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free
• Proven and backed up by an open clinical trial
• Used twice a day everyday, in the morning and at night

Will I repurchase?

I think so. My eye puffiness has lessened. However, I have to keep using it for a few more weeks to see how effective it is against my dark eye circles. Will update this by then.

CELETEQUE SUN CARE SOOTHING LIP BALM

Next, let's tak about this lip balm that promises to prevent the lips from sun damage, while moisturizing it and possibly lightening discolored lips at the same time...

The Celeteque Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm comes in an 8g pot. It contains UVA/UVB filters which prevents UV radiation from damaging and aging the lip area rapidly, and has moisturizing oils to keep the lips soft and smooth. It also has Mulberry Extract that helps brighten discolored lips, especially those darkened by smoking.

While this is my first time to try Celeteque's lip balm, I've long been a user of lip balms and other lip moisturizing products. Some may take their lips for granted, but not me! For as long as I can remember, my lips tend to dry and flake a lot. (Eww, I know!) So ever since my late years in grade school, lip balms have been one of my most reliable friends.

Exfoliate regularly, apply lip balm and leave it for a few minutes before putting on your lipstick
for a smooth gliding lip color application.

I've been contented with my old lip balm from Carmex, but the Celeteque Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm is a good contender. I always apply it before putting on any lipstick, and it definitely preps my lips and makes applying lip colors smoother. I also use it at night before sleeping, so I can wake up with softer lips. And while I don't have problems with lip discoloration, it's nice to see some lip lightening and brightening action.

Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm (P190)

• Really inexpensive at P190 per 8ml pot which can last for months
• Has SPF 15 UVA/UVB filters, moisturizing oils and mulberry extract
• Protects the lips from sun damage, moisturizes and softens, and helps lighten discolored lips
• Proven and backed up by an open clinical trial
• Comes in a pot; perfect packaging for men, but might pose problems related to hygiene or convenience, especially if there's only less product inside the pot

Will I repurchase?

Definitely! For the two weeks I've been using it, I noticed my lips have been rarely dry. It has also lightened them a bit, making them look brighter and more light pink. I just hope they'll offer the same product in a tube packaging. I'm worried when that particular time comes. It might be difficult to get the product when one almost hits the bottom of the pot.

What else can I say? So far, these 2 Celeteque DermoScience™ products impressed me. I've only used and have been using their Hydration Facial Wash, but I think I need to buy more from the brand. Next time, I might just check the Acne Solutions line. And of course, more from the Hydration, Brightening and Sun Care lines.
