This cream offers a gentle, non-toxic approach to hydrating the delicate eye and lip areas, though it functions best as a supporting player in a larger anti-ageing routine.

Esse Eye & Lip Cream provides a gentle, non-toxic ointment formula designed specifically for the delicate skin surrounding both the eyes and lips. Formulated with organic botanical actives and an anti-ageing complex, this delicate product delivers mild hydration without triggering unwanted puffiness. It works to reduce the appearance of dark shadows, making the eye area look refreshed and rested. While it effectively targets concerns like dark circles, puffiness, and early fine lines, the cream functions best as a supporting player in a larger anti-ageing routine rather than a powerful standalone solution. Priced at R681.99, it offers a thoughtful option for shoppers looking for clean, gentle moisturisation around sensitive contours while pairing with other active treatments.
