Guide Review - Novena Organic Cucumber Cranberry Eye Gel

Novena Organic Cucumber Cranberry Eye Gel is designed for use in pregnancy but it can be used by anyone. I use it when I don't get enough sleep because I'm up with the baby or on those nights when I tossed and turned in pregnancy. It gives me a bit of pick me up.

Many people tend to hold a lot of tension in their eyes. I could feel the cucumber going to work on contact. The texture was light and I did not feel like I was wearing heavy make up or cream. It worked so well I carried it in my purse.

I also loved the fact that this product was unscented. Morning sickness and nausea can be a huge problem in pregnancy particularly near scented items. Since this was applied so close to my nose I was worried, but it was great.
