The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["Weleda positions this as a dual-use cream for both the eyes and lips, built around maca root peptides and pomegranate and marketed for anti-aging benefits. It's listed for mature skin and is made in Germany, where Weleda has produced botanically focused skincare for decades.", 'The formula is natural and vegan, comes in a travel-size 0.4-ounce tube, and carries a pomegranate scent from the plant-based ingredients rather than added fragrance oils.', 'At $27.98 for 0.4 ounces, the per-ounce price sits on the higher side for a travel-size product. With 123 reviews averaging 4.0 stars, feedback is positive but not a standout signal, and the sample size is modest enough that a handful of reviews can shift the average noticeably.']
Pros
- Dual-purpose formula usable on both the eye area and lips
- Natural and vegan formulation
- Maca root peptides paired with pomegranate as the active ingredients
- Made in Germany by an established natural skincare brand
Cons
- 4.0 rating from a modest 123-review sample is average rather than a standout

- Pomegranate scent may not suit those who prefer a fragrance-free eye product
- No purchases recorded in the tracked bought-last-month data
Performance notes
Maca root peptides are included here to help support the appearance of plumper, more resilient skin around the eyes and lips, while pomegranate contributes antioxidant support as part of the natural formulation. Because the product doubles as both an eye and lip treatment, the texture is formulated to work across two different, thinner-skinned areas of the face.
What buyers say
A 4.0 average across 123 reviews is a decent but not exceptional signal. It suggests most buyers are satisfied, though the relatively small sample means individual reviews carry more weight than they would for a more widely reviewed product.

Frequently asked questions
Can this really be used on both eyes and lips?
Yes, it's formulated as a dual-use product for both areas. The lighter, plumping formula is designed to work on the thinner skin around the eyes as well as the lips, which can simplify a routine for those who want one product for both.
Does natural and vegan mean it's also fragrance-free?
No. This cream carries a pomegranate scent that comes from its plant-based ingredients rather than synthetic fragrance, but it's still a noticeable scent. Those who need a completely unscented product should look elsewhere.
Is the travel size enough for daily use?
A 0.4-ounce tube will generally last several weeks with typical daily use around the eyes and lips, though exact timing depends on how much product is applied per use. It's sized more like a starter or travel product than a long-term supply.
