ADVERTORIAL

My dermatologist said I'd have to live with the "Nurse's Eye¹" if I kept working long shifts. Then, I found something that made my under-eyes look refreshed and less puffy, restoring my confidence.

The words hit me like a code blue alarm at 3 AM.

"Nurse's Eye," Dr. Martinez repeated, turning her computer screen toward me. "It's what I'm seeing in more and more healthcare workers. The permanent vascular damage from night shifts, the accelerated breakdown of periorbital tissue... Sarah, unless you leave nursing, this is your face now."

''I'd been an ICU nurse for 15 years. I'd saved more lives than I could count.''

And my dermatologist—a medical professional —was essentially telling me my career had destroyed my face beyond repair.

 

According to her, surgery wasn't the right option for me. Besides, I didn't have the money for it anyway.

 

Title

The Mirror Moment That Broke Me

Three days after that appointment, I was at hour 11 of a 12-hour night shift.

 

5:47 AM. Hospital elevator. Fluorescent lights on full blast.

 

I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself.

 

The woman staring back looked 55, not 45. Purple crescents carved under her eyes. Puffiness that made her look perpetually on the verge of tears. Skin that seemed to have given up.

 

A patient's daughter had just asked the charge nurse if there was "a less tired-looking nurse available."
 

She didn't question my credentials. My 15 years of experience. My certifications. She questioned whether I looked capable of keeping her mother alive. And honestly? Looking at my reflection, I understood why.

Title

When "Looking Tired" Costs You Professional Credibility

Let me tell you what "Nurse's Eye" really costs you:

 

- Patients' families requesting someone who "looks more alert"


- New grad orientees looking fresher than you despite zero experience

 

- Charge nurses suggesting you "work on your appearance"

 

- Avoiding family photos because you look too exhausted after shifts

 

- Your own children asking why your eyes "always look sad"

 

My breaking point came during a critical patient's family conference. The son pulled the attending aside. I heard every word:

''Is she okay? She looks like she needs medical attention herself. Maybe someone else should be my mom's nurse.''

Fifteen years of perfect performance reviews. Highest patient satisfaction scores in the unit.

 

Destroyed by looking like I'd been hit by the same truck that brought in trauma patients.

Title

The $1,000 Graveyard in My Medicine Cabinet

After Dr. Martinez's consultation, I went home and counted every eye product I'd bought:

Twenty. Three. Products.
$1,047.89.

  • The $200 peptide serum 
    (Didn't go well with my makeup)
  • The $89 caffeine roller 
    (worked for exactly one hour)
  • The $156 Swiss cellular cream 
    (might as well have used Vaseline)
  • The frozen jade roller 
    (contamination nightmare in the break room)
  • The prescription retinol 
    ($75, made me look worse)

Each promise. Each failure. Each desperate 2 AM purchase.
 

Nothing survived past hour 3 of a 12-hour shift.
 

The Supply Closet Breakdown

Night 2 of 3 consecutive 12s.

2:47 AM.

 

I was hiding in the supply closet, scrolling through Facebook, tears streaming down my face.

 

That was when I saw her comment in response to a Facebook advertisement:

Melissa Chen, ICU RN for 22 years:

"I've tried EVERYTHING. This stick is designed to last through long shifts. Applied it in a patient bathroom at 4 AM after a code. Looked human by morning report. Charge nurse asked if I'd been on vacation. Keep one in scrubs, car, and locker. Finally found something designed for our reality."

Twenty-two years of nights. And she looked... alive?

Title

The Nurse Who Cracked the Code

I messaged Melissa immediately.

 

"How do you look so... functional after 22 years of nights?"

 

Her response changed everything:

"Sarah, usually I don't do gimmicks. But after a patient asked if I needed medical attention, I was desperate. Lisa (ex-combat medic) handed me this stick at 0400. No sales pitch, just 'this got us through field ops.' By morning report, people asked if I'd switched to days."
Title

The Science That Actually Made Sense

After my conversation with Melissa, I wanted to know more about this stick called REJU Balm. I wanted to know why this stick would work. I spent three days researching it (what else can you do between rounds at 3 a.m.?).

 

That's when I discovered why every cream I'd tried had failed—they were just masking symptoms, not fixing what actually happens to us during 12-hour shifts.

 

The real problem? Lymphatic failure.²

Standing for 12+ hours causes lymphatic vessels to literally stop draining properly.² Gravity pulls fluid down, our lymph nodes get overwhelmed, and that fluid gets trapped in the delicate under-eye tissue—the thinnest skin on our body. Add harsh fluorescent lighting and stress from long shifts affecting appearance... we're basically creating under-eye edema every single shift.

 

That's why simple caffeine serums only work temporarily—they constrict blood vessels but don't drain the trapped fluid that's already there.

 

This stick actually supports the drainage system:

The cooling sensation combined with gentle upward application helps to get rid of that fluid.  The combination of Turmeric Longa + vitamins A, C, and E penetrates while the blood vessels are constricted³ and the drainage channels are open. The finishing touch with HA and retinol retains moisture to fill in fine lines and firm the skin under the eyes.

 

It's designed to address the appearance of puffiness. Quick and Easy to apply.

 

At first, I thought this was just more Facebook BS. But here's what convinced my skeptical brain: When Melissa and I talked on FB messenger, there was something different about how she described it. No hype, no "miracle" claims—just straight nurse-to-nurse facts about lymphatic drainage and why it actually worked. Nurses know when someone's selling versus when they're genuinely trying to help. She was genuine.

Title

The Bathroom Stall Transformation

Night 3 of 3. My worst night.

 

4:17 AM. Post-code blue. The patient didn't make it.

 

I looked like death interviewing for a job.

 

I locked the bathroom stall (we all do it), pulled out this lipstick-sized stick, and touched it to my under-eye.

 

Cold.

 

Not surface cold that fades in seconds. But, a cooling sensation. Like those frozen spoons we all try, but... it lasted.

 

Three swipes up and out. The way we'd massage a patient for lymphatic drainage.

 

I waited 60 seconds. Checked my phone. Checked the mirror.

 

My under-eyes looked less puffy. The purple shadows—seemed lighter.

 

I looked awake.

 

I looked capable.

 

I looked like someone you'd trust with your mother's life.

Title

The Morning Report Miracle

7:05 AM. Walking into report.

The reactions were immediate:

Dr. Stevens (who never notices anything): "Sarah, did you actually get sleep last night? 


Day shift charge: "Wait, you just worked three in a row? You look better than I do!"

Another night shifter grabbed my arm: "What are you using and where do I get it?"

By the time I finished giving report, three nurses had photographed the stick and two had already ordered it on their phones.

Title

Week 2: The Compound Effect

I started documenting like we chart—obsessively:

Night 1 of stretch:
• 3 AM application: Noticing a difference quicklyf
• 6 AM touch-up: Lasted through morning report
• Patient comment: "You look amazing!"

Night 2 of stretch:
• Preemptive application at midnight
• Helped avoid the usual 'raccoon stage'
• Family member: "You're the most alert-looking nurse we've had"

Night 3 of stretch:
• Usually my zombie day
• Two applications: 2 AM and 5 AM
• Day nurse: "Did you switch to days?"

Title

The Unit Revolution

Within three weeks, eight other shift nurses bought it.

 

Our 3 AM break room became the "AWAKE clinic"—everyone doing the upward swipe between rounds, comparing techniques, sharing results.

 

The day shift started noticing:

 

"Why does night shift look so refreshed lately?"
"Did you guys get new lighting in here?"
"Your night team looks more professional than our day team!"

Title

The Email That Validated Everything

Three weeks into using REJU Balm, I received this:

 

From: Janet Morrison
Subject: Your exceptional care

Sarah,

I wanted to thank you for the extraordinary care you provided during my husband's final days in the ICU. Your competence and compassion meant everything to our family.

I particularly remember thinking, even at 4 AM, how professional and alert you appeared. In those terrifying moments, your capable presence gave us strength. You looked like someone we could trust with the most precious thing in our world.

Thank you for being our rock when everything was crumbling.

THIS is why our appearance matters.

It's not vanity. It's about being the stable, competent presence families need during the worst moments of their lives.

Title

The 3 AM Truth Every Nurse Knows

We've all been there:

  • Avoiding mirrors during shift
  • Wearing glasses to hide the shadows
  • Declining photos at work events
  • Hearing "you look tired" so often it doesn't register
  • Watching younger nurses judge your competence
  • Your own family suggesting you "need rest"

I spent 15 years accepting that looking exhausted was the price of being a nurse.

 

I was wrong...

Title

If you're reading this at 2 AM between rounds...

The only stick that earned permanent placement in my scrub pocket

I'm 58, and I've desperately tried everything. Medical-grade creams, metal rollers, even got fillers last year. Most gave me nothing but continued patient comments. This? It was different. I saw bags becoming smaller between trauma alerts yesterday. Now I apply it shift-start and post-codes. And I'm terrible with self-care routines.

I stopped avoiding the bathroom mirrors at work

For 12 years, I thought raccoon eyes were my permanent badge of nursing. But this changed that. The bags visibly became smaller. My skin actually looked rested after three 12s.

Expected nothing. Stopped looking dead at 6 AM.

I'm 55 and have tried every 'miracle' cream the pharma reps push. I gave this a chance because of legitimate active ingredients. Three shifts in, I actually looked awake at 7 AM. Less bags. Less exhausted.

The Shift That Changes Everything

Honestly, I figured if REJU Balm worked at all, it would take weeks.

 

After all, every other eye cream I'd tried made the same promise and left me looking like death by hour 8 of my shift.

 

But after just two applications—one at midnight, one at 4 AM during my first night back—I saw something I hadn't seen since nursing school...

 

I Noticed my under-eyes looked less puffy and the dark circles that made families question my competence appeared lighter, and that puffy, swollen look from three 12s in a row had visibly decreased.

 

Even my concealer survived through morning report without creasing into those deep lines that scream 'night shift nurse.'

 

I wasn't expecting results at hour 11 of a 12—that's exactly what shocked me.

 

If my eyes could look this human after just one brutal shift, I can't help but wonder how quickly you'll fool people into thinking you actually sleep."

 

"I Doubted If REJU Balm Could Survive My Weekend Rotation. My Day Shift Colleagues Didn't Recognize Me Monday Morning"

My hopes were crushed from three months of night orientation, but I told myself I'd try one more thing before accepting that 'nurse eye' was permanent.

 

I'd already cycled through every eye cream the other nurses recommended. Each one failed by hour 4, leaving me looking even worse than before.

 

I twisted open the REJU Balm stick in my car before walking into shift—if it was going to be another waste, at least I'd return it tomorrow.

 

The applicator was different from the creams and rollers—solid, controlled, no contamination risk. It felt cooling, like the ice packs we use, but it stayed cold against my skin.

 

I expected the usual nightmare—pills under PPE, slides around with sweat, needs constant reapplication. But as I did the three upward strokes (just like we'd drain edema), it set instantly. No residue on my glasses. No greasy mess. Just... relief.

 

My preceptor asked what I'd changed. Said I looked 'more confident.'

Maybe it was the stick. Maybe it was not looking like death. Either way, I finally felt like a real nurse, not just an exhausted student.

My concealer finally survives past hour 3! This stick is the first thing I've used that actually helps my makeup last through an entire 12-hour shift—it smooths out the puffiness just enough to prevent creasing but sets completely without that greasy film that makes masks slide around."

Looks professional and feels incredible! I use it at midnight and 5 AM and it doesn't burn my exhausted eyes or pill under my N95—my under-eyes look human again.

What I love about this stick is that it's realistic. It doesn't claim to cure exhaustion or erase years of 12-hour shifts. Instead, it legitimately helps target the puffiness, lightens shadows, and makes me look human enough that patients stop asking if I need medical attention."

Great for midnight prep and 6 AM rescue! Surprisingly, I've started applying this before night shift AND before morning report! At start to prevent the 3 AM crash face, and at dawn because it wakes up and de-puffs my skin when I look like death warmed over!
