XImonth Jimerito Bee Honey Eye Area Serum 30 ml

The amber glass is cool between your fingers, and the pipette comes up holding a single clear drop.

It is a small bottle: 10.3 cm tall, 2.8 cm across, the sort of thing that stands in the corner of a shelf without taking up a shelf. The glass is amber rather than clear, so what sits inside stays in the shade between one evening and the next. You squeeze the black bulb, draw the pipette, and lay a drop on a fingertip before you take it anywhere near your face.

The liquid runs off the glass tube like water rather than like a balm. XImonth prints the name Jimerito Bee Honey across the carton and the label, and lists water, glycerin, panthenol, sodium PCA and honey extract on its parameter panel. Thirty millilitres, one fluid ounce, one bottle in a card carton of 3 x 3 x 10.5 cm.

Key Benefits

• Glass pipette dosing The black rubber bulb draws liquid up a glass tube, so you place one measured drop on a fingertip instead of tipping an unknown amount out of a nozzle.
• Amber bottle, not clear The 30 ml bottle is tinted amber, which keeps the contents in shade on an open bathroom shelf.
• A published ingredient list Water, glycerin, panthenol, sodium PCA and honey extract, the full list XImonth prints on its parameter panel.
• Watery, non greasy texture On the maker photographs the drop hangs and falls like water, a light, thin and non greasy texture.
• Pouch sized The bottle is 2.8 x 2.8 x 10.3 cm and the carton 3 x 3 x 10.5 cm, so it travels upright in a wash bag without decanting.
• Made for the skin around the eye A cosmetic for the thin skin at the outer corner and under the brow bone, applied to the skin around the eye rather than into it.

Best for: someone who already keeps a short skincare shelf and wants a light watery cosmetic for the thin skin at the outer corner and under the brow bone, applied by pipette rather than scooped out of a jar, and who wants to read the whole ingredient list before buying.

Why It Works

Most of what reaches this shelf arrives as a thick cream in a wide pot, and the pot is half the problem: fingers go in, the contents warm up, and you never quite know how much you took. A 30 ml amber bottle with a glass pipette changes the handling rather than the formula. One drop comes out, you see it, you place it, and the rest of the bottle stays under a screw cap in tinted glass. The published formula itself is short: water first, then glycerin, panthenol, sodium PCA and a honey extract, a list of five names.

How It Fits Your Routine

Evening, face washed and still slightly damp. Draw the pipette, put one drop on the back of the index finger, then tap it along the orbital bone from the outer corner inwards, staying on bone rather than sliding towards the lash line. Let it sink in before anything else goes on top.

Morning is the same gesture in less time, and the watery texture is the reason it fits there at all: it does not sit under concealer the way a rich balm does. If you use a cream elsewhere on the face, this goes on first and the cream goes over it.

Between uses, screw the cap down fully and keep the bottle upright, away from a sunny windowsill. The pipette lives inside the bottle, so rinse the outside of the glass tube if it picks anything up from your fingers, and wipe the neck before you close it.

FAQ

Can I put this in my eye? Use it on the skin around the eye, not inside the eye itself. If any reaches the eye, rinse with clean water and stop using it.

What does it feel like on the skin? It goes on as a single watery drop that sinks into the thin skin around the eye without a greasy film, so makeup sits over it cleanly. If anything about your eyes concerns you, a pharmacist or doctor is the right person to ask.

Is it really honey? The label reads Jimerito Bee Honey, and the maker's parameter panel lists honey extract among its five ingredients: water, glycerin, panthenol, sodium PCA and honey extract.

Anything to check before I use it? Yes. It contains a bee derived ingredient, so avoid it if bee products disagree with you. Patch test on the inner forearm first, stop at the first sign of stinging or redness, and keep the bottle away from children.
