I absolutely love Snowberry's New Radiance Serum, so bought this in a 3 for 2 deal. I've been using it every night for a few months now, and have to say I'm a bit disappointed. It's done nothing *wrong*, but given the price, it's certainly done nothing *right* either. I honestly don't think it does a better job than other eye serums that are half the price or less. A couple of annoyances: the pump gives WAY too much, and so a lot goes to waste if you aren't super careful to try and only pump a small amount out. This is tricky to do, and I frequently end up with more than I need. It also takes quite a while to absorb into the eye area and seems to sting my eyes while sitting there slowly absorbing. On the plus side, the bottle design means it won't oxidise, it's NZ made, and they do have good research behind their products. I just don't think this one is worth the price tag. I will still forever be loyal to their NR serum however!

Reviews
I love Snowberry, but honestly I'm not too sure what I was expecting. The texture is light, which is nice as I've used heavier products causing issues. I have sensitive skin and I didn't have a reaction which again is a positive outcome. However I didn't notice any difference but then again I'm only 38 so still young on the surface & at heart.
Tips: Use only half a pump as it spreads quite far, unless maybe I was being too cheap, hence no noticeable difference.....
I have used a few snowberry products and thought I would try the eye serum as I really do need help with the not so fine lines around my eye area.
While this is a pleasent enough serum to use, sadly I did not notice a difference in the area of concern.
It comes in a 15ml pump bottle and for $52.00 it is up there as far as price goes. The serum is a pale yellow colour and has a nice subtle fragrance. You dont need a lot, but one pump dispenses more than you need so you have to be careful not to waste any. You apply as you would with any other eye product.
I have to say I have used other eye serums with more pleasing results.
Tips: Be very careful when you pump because it gives you way too much for your eye area.
A friend and I attended a Snowberry evening at a local pharmacy. As always, I was lured in by a GWP so I decided to try this eye serum. This has lasted me about 12 weeks and I have used it twice a day.
I like the pump packaging however it dispenses way more than you need. About half a pump is more than enough to cover both eyes entirely. It is quite a thin, yellow lotion that absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling smooth. Over the three months I have used it I haven't seen any positive changes in my under eye area. If anything I think they may look slightly more crepey.
This is a pleasant enough product to use but I would probably only purchase it again on another GWP. I think there are better eye serums available at this price.
I was slightly disappointed with the soothing eye serum. I am a big fan of Snowberry face serums and moisturizers, so I did have high expectations for their eye serum. The serum is a yellowy colour and a thin consistency, with a light non-irritating fragrance. The pump gives out too much product, so you have to be careful. It absorbs nicely into the skin. However, I don't notice any difference in my eyes. If anything it brightens dark circles slightly. I didn't find it as hydrating or plumping as a proper eye cream. When putting on makeup I noticed more creasing and my eyes appeared dry. For my skin type, I think a traditional thicker eye cream works better. You could layer an eye serum and cream, but if the serum doesn't do what it says - plump, reduce fine lines, or decrease puffy eyes then it's likely a waste of money and time. It is definitely pleasant to use, but it doesn't seem to do a lot and just doesn't hydrate my under eyes enough so they ended up dry when I used the eye serum. If anyone has oily under eyes or gets milia (clogged pores) under their eyes, a serum may be a better alternative than an eye cream. But overall, it just wasn't for me.
