Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream

I didn’t know what to expect from this but was pleasantly surprised! It is super hydrating and creamy, doesn’t absorb so quickly. It’s bright yellow colour and a I like the applicator. Totally would purchase this product and use again.

This formula is really hydrating and smells delicious. Love the bright yellow colour and applicator. It was not fast drying and my under eye area was still hydrated in the morning

This tube of eye cream claims to revive the look of tired eyes, improve the look of under eye dark circles and brighten skin around the eyes. Dispensed from quite a long tube, the vivid yellow colour is a bit surprising, but doesn't stay yellow once applied. It does seem to give the skin around my eyes a bit of a lift and makes my wrinkles a bit more plumped out. I really like what Garnier is doing with skincare. I would probably repurchase.Thanks Beauty Review for the opportunity to trial and review.

Honestly not really. Did I like the smell and texture of the product yes but unfortunately for me and my skin it didn't make much of a difference. This is one I won't be adding into my daily routine.

My favourite part was the application and the top of the cream. Loved this feature and hope to see it on more products as it made using it simple.

After 3 weeks, my eye bags officially packed themselves and went elsewhere, including that raccoon look...which I attribute to being a toddler Mum. Super easy application, no need to use your fingers, hygienic! It glides on smoothly, absorbs quickly and dries without residue. I love the bright orange colour! My eye area feels firmer and looks brighter, I will definitely keep this product in my beauty draw!

As this cream as a yellow colour I found that it looked quite yellowy after application and for sime reason made my dark circles more accentuated,. Purely for this reason I will probably not buy agaun but it did leave the eye area feeling and looking hydrated. Also worked well under foundation and concealer as it absorbes well

When I received this product to trial I was very excited, as I've had great experiences with Garnier eye products before.

However, this one had me confused. Was it eye cream? Or was it makeup?

Claims on the box like 'in one week get brighter, well-rested eyes' suggested it was eye cream (plus the fact they called it eye cream!). But lines like 'reduce signs of fatigue... including appearance of dark circles', 'brightening pigments' and the yellow colour made me think it was makeup. The instructions told you how to apply it to the eye area, but not when, so I dithered for a while before deciding it was an anytime thing.

In terms of using it, it was easy to apply and didn't show up yellow on my skin. It made a small difference to the look of my under eye area - not to the extent of looking like makeup, but enough to make me look less tired. It also felt nice and cooling on my skin.

I like the packaging. It's easy to open the screw cap and the slanted top makes it easy to get the correct amount on your finger. There is something very attractive about the long, slim packaging - even if it does tend to fall over on the shelf!

At this stage I'm still dubious about this not-quite-makeup eye cream, but as I try to reduce my amount of daily makeup for the sake of my skin, this might turn out to be exactly what I need...

As with most Garnier products, the packaging wasn't anything special - a good box to stop it getting squished and a tube. It was slightly alarming when I gave it a squeeze to see the colour of the product - a kind of orangey-yellow. Not horrible, just not expected! It doesn't really have a smell and is a nice fine cream consistency (not too think, but not so thin that it runs everywhere), and it rubs in easily - well without needing to be rubbed in. It doesn't have any sticky residue/after feel which is nice. Has it reduced my bags and dark circles? Maybe a bit, but they were pretty bad to start with so it always faced uam up hill battle. But the best thing is it doesn't sting your eyes, not even a little bit. And on that basis alone (seeing its about the only one that doesn't sting my eyes) I'll keep using it.

I found this eye cream was fairly good. It certainly moisturised my eye area but I didn't really notice much of a difference in the appearance of my dark circles or fine lines. Perhaps mine are a bit too far gone! I might need to use it for a longer period to see greater results. Nevertheless, I enjoyed using the cream to nurture the delicate skin around my eyes. The formula is thick and creamy and comes out easily from the tube. There is a decent amount in the tube which I think is good value, and I like the fact you don't have to use your fingers to dip into a pot.
