Reducing chemicals in my daily life tops my New Year’s resolution list. To help keep me on track, one of my sisters splurged on a Yes To Carrots moisturizer and cleanser facial pack as a Christmas gift. The boxed kit came with eye contour cream, moisturizing day cream and an exfoliating cleanser. After several uses, here’s my take on the Yes to Carrots Eye Contour Cream.
Is Yes to Carrots Chemical-Free?
The eye moisturizing cream is made with organic carrots — which are grown and processed without synthetic chemicals. Beta carotene in carrots is a natural antioxidant which helps repair damaged body tissue, according to nutritionist Joy Bauer in an article on Today Health. So, perhaps this eye cream will minimize any fine lines around my eyes? Nice!
Yes to Carrots is not listed as an organic skin care product, but the company does use quality ingredients. All products are paraben-free, petroleum-free and cancer-causing sodium laureth sulfate-free. Key moisturizers in the cream include jojoba oil, avocado oil, aloe vera, shea butter, sweet almond oil and honey extract. But, if you’re looking for a 100 percent chemical-free moisturizer for your eyes, this is not it.
How Does Yes to Carrots Eye Contour Cream Smell and Feel?
The cream is a pale peach color and has a pleasant perfume-like scent, courtesy of added fragrance. When using my finger to rub a small amount of the cream onto my eyelids, the fragrance is very noticeable.
The cream goes on smooth. After rubbing the eye cream in, there’s no greasy, lingering feeling. I’m guessing that has to do with the plant-based oils used in the formula. I love using pure organic jojoba oil as a moisturizer, and this eye cream reminds me of how jojoba oil dries completely without any residue. The Yes to Carrots Eye Contour Cream feels very moisturizing when applied.
After five uses, I can tell my skin is softer. Since I’ve been using it on my eyelids, which I don’t look at often, it’s hard to tell if the cream has improved my skin tone. Overall, I think this eye cream is easy to use, has a pleasant scent and feels great on the skin. I’ll definitely be keeping this product in my beauty bag!
