Before I get to my review, I want to thank Beauty Review for the opportunity to be on the trial team for this product. I am a huge follower and a loyalist of La Roche Posay's skincare line. Alright, let's get started. As expected, I am impressed with the packaging of this product. La Roche has a signature touch that makes its packaging feel luxurious, chic, and fancy. It's very considerate that the product comes with a dropper and a roller, making it even more convenient. The roller becomes convenient as it will become your eye massager while giving it the hydration boost it needs. (Although I must've been using the roller too fast at times, I tend to pinch the skin around my eyes -yes, both sides sometimes, and it hurts for a second, but bearable. Lol 😂). It's also a plus that it is fragrance-free, and the serum's consistency is spot on — not too runny nor thick. It takes some time for my skin to absorb the product thoroughly, so I gave it four out of five stars. Even though I enjoy my daily skincare routine, I often have a busy schedule and don't have much time to spare in the mornings or evenings. Adding an extra five to ten minutes to my routine can be challenging. I believe that good things come to those who wait, and I must admit that this saying applied to my experience of trying this serum. It takes time to see results, but it was worth it. It wasn't until my third night of using it that I started to see results on my under-eye skin. Initially, I was sceptical because the initial change I noticed was just a slight skin lightening without much plumping. However, by the sixth day, I could see a noticeable difference. And I wasn't the only one who noticed a difference on the eighth day. One of my colleagues, whom I see regularly, even on weekends and holidays due to the nature of our work, remarked that the skin under my eyes looked clearer. She even asked if I had started using concealer, which surprised me. Because we see each other often, a subtle change in my appearance might be hard to notice, but my friend did. I usually wear little makeup besides lip tint, so her comment and inquiry indicate that this serum is effective. If you decide to try this serum, keep going even if you don't see changes in your skin immediately. It may take up to a month before you notice any results, but give your skin time to adjust and settle. Eventually, you will see that the serum does have an effect. If you are not experiencing any adverse reactions to the product, wait patiently for the serum's magic to work. I am considering applying this serum not just under my eyes but to my entire face, and I am not kidding. Lol. 😂😂

Tips: Use of the roller - it’s nice and cam be handy for users, just make sure not to roll too fast, to avoid skin pinching on your eye area.
Be patient - some results can take a while before it gets to be noticeable.
Overall this is a great product, if a little quirky. So if you're in to quirky eye serums; stick with me!
The glass dropper bottle is super cute, but colour me surprised when I opened it to find out the dropper dispenser has a metal ball on the end. It feels cooling and soothing on the eye area and is a nice touch. However, I'm not entirely sure you need the dropper itself seeing as how the product coats the ball and outside of the dispenser. So, love the applicator, unsure of the need for a dropper dispenser too.
The liquid is clear not blue. That's fine I can enjoy the smurf blue bottle every day.
So, you need to read the instructions here. If you don't this is what will happen. You'll apply it, probably too much of it, and it will feel sticky, tacky, gunky. Like it will not absorb.
Read the instructions and you learn you're not meant to use loads of product, you're supposed to distribute it round the eye area with the applicator and then YOU HAVE TO PAT IT IN. I've long since thrown out the box, but I'm pretty sure they use the word pat. As in lightly pat the excess product with your fingertips. It makes all of the difference.
Now I will not lie. There is a slight stickiness to the product, however that disappears under moisturiser or makeup, and if you don't put anything on top, sure it feels sticky, but it doesn't pil and it isnt visible, so yeah, it's just a bit...quirky.
The effects are where it's at though right? And this is a really effective product. I'm using this twice a day, the skin around my eyes is brighter, tighter and smoother. I look more awake and I think this is having a very positive impact on the fine lines.
I will look to repurchase, quirks n all!
Do I really need a serum just for my eyes? After using this blue gem of a product the answer is...yes!
This is easy to apply and absorbs well. I like to use it morning and night before my moisturiser. In the morning it makes my eyes feel refreshed and awake and at night it soothes my tired eyes.
This has had a noticeable effect on my crows feet, smoothing out the wrinkles rather nicely!
Highly recommend!
In just a few weeks I have seen results with this serum! My skin around my eyes and nose looks more hydrated and happy. Fine lines are slowly fading as my skin appears more “plumpy”. The applicator is unique - a wand-like applicator with a roller ball. The roller ball itself feels nice but the applicator wand has excess product which drips - and I don’t want to waste any of this liquid gold so I usually apply more than what is needed to make sure I make the most of this serum. The consistency is great when applying - it spreads easily, and as it dries it causes a bit of a stiffening, but it is short lived and feels better once my night cream or day cream has been applied over.
Overall, I am chuffed with this serum and it definitely delivers on what it claims it can do - it has improved the appearance of my fine lines and have made my skin more hydrated and happy!
Tips: To prevent loss of product from the applicator, keep the wand more upright and apply around eyes in a circular motion.
Nice basic packaging, easy to read instructions and pictures inside the box. A glass bottle with a glass dropper when you change the top over. The dropper has a silver ball that rolls when you use it, the only problem I have with that is the blue non fragrant runny serum runs down the glass tube and drops down my cheek, so I haven’t really used the dropper to suck some serum up as I find more than enough comes down the outside of the dropper, when I use the ball to smear it around it’s absolutely lovely nice and cold and soothing. ( I really don’t like the amount of serum that runs down the dropper, only once have I squeezed any serum up) so I use the tube to rub some serum around on my eye area then use the ball to massage it in.
I do feel a bit sticky where I have used the serum around my eyes, but I’ve faithfully been applying this morning and night. My make up goes on unaffected as does my mascara etc
I’m at the age where I have loads of crinkle thin skin around my eye’s a criss cross affect of dry creepiness, definitely a tell tell sign of age and a bit of darker shadowing around my eye area closer to the nose so a semi dark circle.
I’d actually quit on eye creams and serums about 6 months ago, as I wasn’t really getting results worth mentioning, so blow me down quite a bit of improvement in my eye area I’d say for me hydration is important as it plumps the skin out making the wrinkles less. It’s also like a wake my eye area up a bit brighter.
For me using this day and night I do have some results so pleased with the skin texture I feel it’s bouncier dare I say stronger. So a very nice serum and no stinging when it gets in your eye lol. The only down fall for me is the serum running down the dropper on the out side .
This is a winner for results not application applicator :) This bottle looks like it will last a long time as I’ve hardly made a dent in it, so feeling value for my money, I’d definitely buy this again.
Tips: Just be aware of the serum running down the outside of the tube, other than that if you want some results I say try this you will not be disappointed x
I'm becoming a big fan of La Roche-Posay. Beauty Review got me hooked, so I was so excited for this trial product!
The packaging is classic LRP; it's simple, it's clean, it's timeless. It skews neither old nor young.
I like the applicator although it was bit messy and a little too easy to overuse the product, but practise makes perfect there
It's fragrance free and suitable for sensitive eyes, I experienced no irritation at all
This was instantly tightening, it's like an eye lift. In a comfortable way! I love the way this cools and soothes the whole eye area.
The one things I don't enjoy is the stickyness of the product. For example if I apply it and don't touch it, my eye area feels sticky just by lightly squinting my eyes. Makeup sits ok on top though so it's not a deal breaker.
Really like this eye serum, However it's not a favourite, It does moisturize really well, I did notice a difference my dark circles became lighter, The only down side about this little gem, It takes awhile for the serum to soak into your skin, apart from that its amazing 😍 I'll post another review in a week's time hopefully I really see the difference. Love it 😍
I am not a big fan of eye creams and serums, but the La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Eye Serum was surprisingly nice.
The bottle comes with a separate applicator that you can then screw onto the bottle top. While sitting on my vanity, I've left the applicator on the bottle, but it doesn't feel like a particularly good fit, so if travelling, I'd probably replace with the original lid.
That for me was the number one design flaw. I don't want two lids give me one with an applicator and save on both environmental impact and my frustration levels.
The roller ball at the bottom of the applicator was a nice touch. Rolling the product into the skin was relaxing and did have that more luxe skin treatment feel.
The product itself was like many serums a little sticky, and did need a little bit of working into the skin, but was overall reasonably absorbing.
Now let's look at the claims:
- Instant cooling and massaging effect with the roller: Yes, the roller provided a light massage, and cold product is often cooling anyway. - The hydrating serum makes the skin around the eye feel nourished: Yes I'd say it nourished and hydrated the skin while applied. - It made the skin look more firm or replumed: Not so much, it looked exactly the same to me. - The eye area looks more revitalised and radiant: Again, just looked the same to me.
All in all I would say it topped my list of eye serums due to the roller applicator and that it seemed reasonable gentle on the skin. But like any plumping product I've tried, it's not a miracle worker.
Tips: Keep the original lid just in case the applicator lid leaks.
And apply first thing in the morning to sooth tired eyes.
I have tried a few La Roche Pisay products now and have not been let down yet. Packaging is nice and sturdy- I liked that the bottle is see through, the dropper is a good size, functions well and distributes an even amount of product (would suggest tapping the side off before you apply to avoid drips). The roller is a nice touch- love the cool feeling under my eyes.
The product itself is nice, no weird chemically smell, isn't too "thick", absorbs into the skin well and sits nicely under makeup (I did pat into the skin after rolling to really work the product in before applying makeup).
Results? I used both day and night for several weeks and by day 8/9 I definitely noticed that my under eyes looked less crepey and my makeup has been sitting better- particularly when I conceal under my eyes.
I will purchase this- I think there are potentially better products out there but bang for buck and longevity I think this is really good and am definitely impressed.
recieved this product from the beauty vault and oh what a score it is. I noticed the difference after 3 days but after seven and now two weeks my eyes are less puffy, bright under eyes, I didnt have much of dark under eyes, but after using the eye serum I have noticed a much brighter under eye area, visible fine lines have reduced massively since using the serum. Highly recommend this product if wanting to try out eye serums or wanting a change.
Tips: Apply around the eye contours on damp skin as the seum absorbs the water and into the skin
