With a very light fruity scent, the Moon Fruit Sleep Mask also contains nourishing squalane, shea, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and a plethora of antioxidant-rich superfruit extracts. The sleep mask has a very pretty purple color that disappears once blended and the consistency is that of a lightweight cream. The formulation exhibits a micro-foaming action when massaged onto the skin, which I don't love as it takes more time to blend out. I find the mask a bit greasy when paired with other products so it's best used on bare skin. Although marketed as a sleep mask, this is essentially a nourishing, anti-aging night cream for those that cannot tolerate the drying effects of retinol. Given the generous size, the price is actually not too bad so I would recommend it to those looking for a bakuchiol moisturizer.

Formulated with line-smoothing bakuchiol, the Moon Dew Eye Cream also contains depuffing quinoa plant peptides and tightening honey locus polysaccharides. The eye cream formulation is much thicker consistency than the sleeping mask but it still blends out nicely on the skin to a lightweight finish that's not at all greasy. The formulation is instantly hydrating and I definitely wake up with more plumpness around the eye area. The Moon Dew 1% Bakuchiol + Peptides Retinol Alternative Eye Cream actually reminds me a lot of the Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Cream, which to my surprise, I've never actually reviewed (I'll get on that, I promise). I experienced zero irritation so it's safe to say that this is a gentle anti-aging eye cream for most skin types.
