Yes to Cucumbers Daily Calming Moisturizer Review

Last in the trio of products I got together in the set of the Yes to Cucumber package is the Daily Calming Moisturizer. You can read all about the eye gel and towlette in my prior posts. This, like the other products in this line smells like cucumbers. This might be the strongest (and most synthetic) cucumber scented of the three, but I don't mind it since the smell disappears quickly. The moisturizer itself is a nice creamy texture that absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving a tacky feeling behind. It does feel slightly soothing and calming, most likely because of the thicker texture. It works well under makeup, and helps to get rid of some of my drier patches. Overall, a nice daily moisturizer if that's what you're looking for. If you want something that's a multi-tasker with added things in it, look elsewhere.

Bottom Line: It's a nice moisturizer, especially if you have dry or irritated skin and want to add suppleness to your skin without causing it to be greasy. If you want a jam packed product with lots of extras, look elsewhere.

Yes to Cucumbers Smoothing Eye Gel Review

As a general rule, I totally lucked out in the lack of puffy eye bag category.  However, that doesn't mean that I never get them. Lack of sleep brings on bags, and what better day to a review post of the Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel then on a day I've gotten only 4.5 hours of sleep? The Yes to Cucumbers product line is the "soothing" line within the company's range of products. You can see my review on the facial towelettes here.

This cooling gel contains calming cucumber, green tea, and chamomile extracts to help reduce puffiness and brighten dark circles. It's definitely a clear gel in consistency, and does have a cooling/soothing effect that helps reduce puffiness. I don't particularly like using eye gels under makeup, but this one seems to play well with other products.  Just make sure you only apply a thin layer, and it'll absorb into the skin (too much and it sits on top without much absorption).  I didn't notice any dark circle brightening effects though.  Still looks like I have two shiners from a bar fight. Thank goodness for concealer.

Bottom Line: For those of you that need to de-puff and/or enjoy a cooling sensation for your tired eyes, this is a nice product. For me personally, I have more issues with dark eye circles so if this wasn't included in a kit, I would not have pursued this on my own accord.

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes Review

I've always been interested in trying out the Yes to brand, so when I came across a set of the Yes to Cucumbers products, I was all for trying it out. Especially since I was in need of the particular products offered. These Facial Towelettes are made to help remove makeup, dirt, and sweat with gentle moisture from aloe vera, while leaving the skin feeling smooth and refreshed. This biodegradable wipe claims to exfoliates, detoxes, and rejuvenates.

In my opinion these wipes are too dry. I personally like wipes to be on the wet/almost drenched side. It did remove dirt and sweat, but eye makeup didn't budge much. I agree that this formula was gentle, and it didn't dry my skin out.  I doubt it really exfoliates, and I can't speak to any detox. There's a pleasant cucumber smell that could be claimed as rejuvenating.

Bottom Line: This is too dry of a product to make it worth my while. I think you'll do better looking elsewhere.
