Wake Skincare is described as being a Start-up business on a mission, to create products designed for 'generation connected'. A brand born out of the frustrations of being glued to screens, working long hours and always being switched on. The brains behind the brand, Anton and Alex decided, after some research to create a brand, to take on those big cosmetics companies and give them a run for their money. I was very kindly sent two products from the collection to try.
With both the face cream and the eye cream, the first thing to stand out is the amazing packaging, it certainly grabs your attention.
The Wake Face Cream is a really lightweight cream which doesn't feel heavy when applied. It contains a blend of pure essential oils, natural plant botanicals and natural antioxidants to help give skin a radiant appearance.
Alongside Shea Butter and Coco Butter you will find ingredients such as Vitamin E which works to reduce blemishes and helps acne. Then we have Hyaluronic Acid which deeply plumps the skin and helps to minimise fine lines and wrinkles whilst at the same time delivering increased hydration. The Face Cream also has anti-ageing properties with Hydrolysed Collagen.
Key Features:
● Reduces blemishes caused by a non-stop lifestyle
● Targets fine lines that result from irregular sleeping patterns
● Easy to apply before and after working out without feeling thick or heavy
Priced at £19.95 for 50ml, it isn't going to be a cream which breaks the bank every time you need to re-purchase, you more than get good value for money.
The Face cream can be purchased via Wake Skincare or Amazon*
Then we have the Wake Eye Cream, a product which certainly grabbed itself a whole lot of media attention and it isn't hard to see why when you use it. Within just two years, the Wake Eye Gel has received over 2,000 reviews on Amazon. It has consistently been No.1 in the Eye Gel category and even reached No.1 in the whole of Beauty for Amazon UK.
As with the face cream, the Wake Eye Gel is really lightweight on the skin and rich in antioxidants. The gel formula works to help reduce the appearance of fine lines as well as dark circles and puffiness. Alongside Aloe Vera you will find ingredients such as Cucumber and Elderflower which instantly awaken and soothe puffy eyes. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant to help the delicate skin around the eyes.
Key Features
• Combats dark circles that result from late nights and early starts;
• Hydrates your skin after spending long periods looking at screens;
• Contains vitamins and antioxidants to reduce signs of premature ageing;
• Protects the environment by using glass bottles to reduce plastic waste.
Priced at £16.95 for 30ml it is an absolute bargain and one which definitely gives my high-end eye cream a run for their money!
So here you have two products which are really affordable and easy to get hold of and they will give your high end creams a run for their money!
