In the ever-changing and advancing world of skincare, the double cleansing method has rapidly gained popularity, especially for those seeking a thorough cleansing process. I had the chance to try two products from ANUA, a top skincare brand in Korea known for its gentle cleansing …
Keeping your skin in prime condition while living in Singapore can be quite tricky. This is a country where it feels like the sun is always at its peak and humidity is constantly high. If you have discovered skincare late in the game, then there …
We recently moved across the country and have been spending our days working and our evenings trying to unpack and organize. Most nights, I’m tossing and turning thinking about the giant “To Do” list that I need to tackle the next day. The lack of sleep and stress is taking its toll—in addition to feeling like I need eight cups of coffee to get my day moving — I’m also noticing some unsightly dark circles and puffiness around my eyes. Luck would have it though that I received MARÉE’s Marine Collagen Eye Gels just a few days after we moved in!

I’ve been trying out the Marine Collagen Eye Gels and the 24K Gold Collagen Eye Gels, which are the most effective solutions I’ve tried. (Amazon and TikTok users seem to think so too. This product was named “magical” by a 5-star reviewer on Amazon and with more than 9.2k reviews, they are definitely gaining popularity.)
This brand was developed from a passion and love for the ocean and the Marine Collagen Eye Gels and the 24K Gold Collagen Eye Gels were created with a blend of ocean-sourced, natural ingredients such as natural marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, premium pearl extract, and red algae extract. Hyaluronic acid helps boost skin elasticity and deeply hydrates, while collagen improves skin texture, plumps it, and makes fine lines less visible (yes, please). The pearl extract also works on alleviates those fine lines while it evens skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, fades dark circles and brightens up the area around the eyes. The red algae extract helps to plump the skin and offers soothing and protective benefits. The 24K Gold Eye Gels have the addition of nano-active gold for illuminating the skin and Vitamin C, for energizing the skin.
The eye gels have many features that I appreciate, including the packaging. Each box contains 12 separate pairs of eye gels that are convenient to pop in your bag and travel with. I think these make great gifts too—we all love self-care, so why not drop a few into a birthday gift bag for a friend or family member?
I spend most of the day on Zoom calls, so it is essential to conceal those dark circles and look alert, which is why I love how fast acting these gels are. Fifteen minutes and I noticed a difference!
I have sensitive skin as well, so the gentle formula is something that I’m always searching for in my skincare products. These gels are formulated to be suitable for all skin types and are gentle on the delicate under-eye area. Additionally, they are free from harsh chemicals and irritants, making them a safe and effective addition to any skincare routine.
They are perfect for use in the morning before makeup and in the evening to get rid of signs of stress and tiredness. I’ve been using them mostly at night and find them really soothing as part of my winding down routine at night. They are easy to use—you simply apply them to dry and clean skin and leave on for 15 minutes and discard. That’s it.
Both the Marine Collagen Eye Gels and the 24K Gold Collagen Eye Gels are available on Amazon.

My Thoughts: In early January I got very sick with Long Covid which lasted a little over 5 weeks. When I say sick…I mean really sick! I could barely get out of bed other than to use the restroom briefly. The reason I bring this up is because I did very little skincare anything during that 5 weeks. My skin was dry, scaly and dull. Oh my…it looked like I had been through the ringer. Okay, I was put through the ringer but now it was time to get my skin looking healthy again.
For the past 2 weeks I’ve been washing my face (morning and at bedtime) with the Healthy + Happy Essentials Hydrating Facial Cleanser and LOVE IT! I mean…I really LOVE IT! It has the perfect consistency and just the right amount of creamy lather. It rinses off your skin quickly with clean water leaving no oily or greasy residue behind. Just touching your face after cleansing it…it feels clean and looks clean. All of the dry patches around my nose are gone as well as the dry patches that were across my forehead. All gone! The dullness is gone and my skin-tone looks more even. After just a few uses I noticed these results and over the past 2 weeks they’ve gotten even better!
