Description
It’s not often that a plant’s name reflects the part of the body it can benefit but this is exactly the case with extract of Eyebright. Officially named Euphrasia officinalis, extract of Eyebright has come to be nicknamed thus as it is often used for treating the eyes. Topically (i.e. when used on the skin), Eyebright is not only a natural cleanser and astringent (meaning it can help skin to appear tightened and pores smaller) it is just ideal for the thin, fragile skin around the eyes.
Benefits for the Skin
Extract of Eyebright has the ability to calm and soothe skin around the eye area (and everywhere else – it’s just delicate enough for the eyes). Hence it’s the perfect ingredient in formulas that aim to make eyes look more awake and youthful as well as the face not feel too heavy or weighed down.
Some of the benefits of Eyebright for the skin include:
- Reduce puffiness around the eyes as well as reduce inflammation associated with blemishes.
- Eyebright helps to protect the skin around the eyes and face by unclogging pores.
- Antioxidant properties: Eyebright contains antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental pollutants. Used regularly, this product helps reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Try It!
Of course, I included extract of Eyebright in my Cooling and Awakening Face Cream. Try it and see if your face doesn’t feel and look more awake, refreshed, and youthful.

Milly –
I have tried a lot of products, ranging from the cheaper ‘all natural’ brands to high end, royal creams. Anything smelly or thick would cause my skin to become sore and red, look like I am sweating/oily and cause mass break outs. So I have been using this cream with the Hamantra Cleanser/Toner daily for over a month or so now and my skin has never been this clear. This product is scented and it smells amazing. The organic, all natural ingredients have left my skin and face blemish free and radiant. I haven’t needed concealer since I have started using the product! The cream is incredibly light, mousse like and applies to my skin easily. I’d recommend this cream to everyone and anyone. Thank you Cherry Essentials for providing an honest, cruelty-free products that work wonders and providing products I can trust.
