Everything we love about K-Beauty and J-Beauty in one collection

It’s a fact that none of us are getting any younger, but looks can be deceiving, right? As I move further away from my early 40s and closer to my mid-40s, I find myself relying on certain types of products and treatments more than ever—and eye gels have become a regular part of my routine, especially when getting ready for a night out (and when the effects of my Botox begin to wane).

So when AZN Labs, the brand that makes Afterglow Ampoule (one of my all-time favorite products), sent me their brand-new Hydrogel Eye Patches I didn’t waste any time before trying them. Infused with the same super-antioxidant astaxanthin-based complex, it only took 10 minutes to see a visible difference in my eye area. My fine lines were plumped and my dark circles were lighter—and thanks to a powerful ingredient blend that includes shea butter, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide and licorice root extract, I know the results will continue to improve (and stick around) with time. Oh, and their sparkly rose-gold color is really pretty (and Instagrammable), too.

As a lover of virtually any Korean or Japanese product, I’m especially drawn to AZN Labs’ offerings because they feature the latest ingredient and formulation technologies from both of these skincare-centric countries—and I’ve never been disappointed. The “Youthful Glowing Formula” messaging on these products is far from just another lofty skincare claim and I can attest to its truth. And for the record, I will continue to do so until the look of my skin is no longer deceiving.
