On Saturday I received the Nip + Fab Hydrate Hyaluronic Acid Fix Extreme4 Concentrate 2% and the Jelly Eye Patches to test and review.
The Hyaluronic Acid Fix Extreme4 Concentrate Extreme 2% comes packaged in a roomy cardboard box featuring all the relevant information regarding usage and ingredients. The serum is secured inside with folded panels, the sandblasted glass bottle feels luxurious and matches the aquamarine shade of the box.
It contains 2% pure Hyaluronic Acid in high and low molecular weights, Tremella or Snow Mushroom, Polyglutamic Acid and 20% Glycerin.
It is fragrance free (but the smell is reminiscent of ballpoint pen ink) and features a stringy consistency, very much like snail mucin products, which I believe is due to the high concentration of Glycerin.
The Concentrate 2% has a slippery texture which when dried can feel tacky, however this sensation disappears once other products are layered over it.
It makes my skin look very glowy and it seems to improve texture as well, however it does make my skin feel a bit tight which I believe is due to the Hyaluronic Acid.
Overall, the Concentrate 2% is a nice hydrating serum to add glow to the skin.
The Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Jelly Eye Patches come in a slightly less luxurious plastic pot, however it is very sturdy and well made. Inside it features a stopper to avoid leakage and a set of tweezers to dispense the patches.
Like the Concentrate 2%, the Eye Patches also contain Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid, Tremella and Glycerin, plus Diamond Powder.
I had never used eye patches before so wasn't sure what to expect. The first time it was quite fiddly and hard to apply. The patches are also very delicate - I managed to rip one during my first application.
They feel very cooling and comfortable to wear thanks to the jelly texture, however and can slip down the face easily, so had to slide them up again every so often.
The Jelly Eye Patches are meant to be left on the skin for 10 to 30 minutes (instructions vary on the website and packaging).
Around 20 minutes seems to be enough time for the essence to absorb fully into the skin. After removing them my skin feels very soft and looks hydrated and smoother, which I like. It is also nice to know that the patches are biodegradable.
The Eye Patches, like the Concentrate 2%, are also unscented, but a petroleum or plastic smell is perceivable, however this fades quickly. The package contains 20 pairs and has a short PAO of 3 months.
The only thing I would change is the shape of the patches as I found them hard to get right under the inner corner of my eyes, which is where I needed the most hydration. I would get these again provided the shape was improved.
Overall a fun step to add into your skincare routine.
Have you tried any Nip+Fab products?
