This article is a review and ingredient report for Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum

What is Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum?

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum is a fast-absorbing, waterless eye serum packed with skin-restoring organic goodness to plump and treat the delicate eye area skin.

It is a small bottle with a big impact because Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum has a waterless formulation. This affords maximum absorption of the actives.

And the actives are amazing.

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum

Why Waterless Beauty

Waterless Beauty refers to when a skincare product formulation does not contain water.

Water is typically the first ingredient seen on product ingredient lists, sometimes comprising more than half of the product volume.

Instead of water, Waterless Beauty uses oils, ferments, butters and oil-soluble active ingredients.

There are no unnecessary fillers such as water, silicone, and alcohol in any Kat Burki product.

About The Patented KB5 Complex

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum contains something called “KB5™ Complex”.

Kat Burki uses their patented KB5™ formula base instead of water. Instead of actives being diluted, the pure active ingredients work at full force with KB5™.

KB5 Complex is five cold-processed extract essences. Together they create the proprietary KB5 Complex, a trademarked signature blend that replaces the water in all Kat Burki formulas.

This makes highly concentrated, pure, eco-conscious formulations. And they are also remarkably effective.

Lets take a closer look at the Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum formulation:

The Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum  Experience

Lightly tap – do not rub – this rich cream around the delicate eye area skin. Despite some powerful actives such as retinol and Vitamin C, it is luxe and soothing, so skin does not feel dry, tight or irritated.

The scent of Rosehips is pleasant but present. I prefer scentless products around the orbital area, but was lulled into making this product an exception.

The cream feel luxe yet surprisingly absorbs very well into the my skin. There is no residue left on the skin. This is a benefit of the waterless KB5 base – it enables actives to do their best work and get deep into the skin.

This makes quick work of smoothing fine lines and evening the skin tone.
