Dr Lewinns Firming Eye Cream Review

Wow! I have just slid over the mid thirties and have never used a wrinkle or an eye cream. I ordered a beauty box for my birthday and this product was in it. The reasons I have never used a wrinkle product was because I have always been sceptical of them. But I had read somewhere that if a product didn't contain vitamin A then it wouldn't do a darn thing. THIS cream does contain Vitamin A! So I thought i'd give it a go. As soon as I applyed the cream it started to work! The cooling effect started making the skin under my eyes come back to a good colour and the little wrinkles I have started getting under my eyes were disappearing as the cream dried and tightened. It dried pretty quickly and I could apply my foundation on top and the puffy saggy eyes that once were, were almost completely gone. Flash forward a couple of weeks and the tiny wrinkles are even tinier and I still apply the cream every morning to heal puffy eyes ( I really should just get more sleep). You only have to use the tiniest amount so this tub will last for ages.

So when I opened the white pottle I was expecting a cream but it turns out to be a golden shimmering gel.

I prefer pump devices especially for eye products to avoid contamination of the products. It feels cool but a little bit sticky could be I used a bit much the first time.

I haven't overly noticed much difference from using this product. It does however feel soothing so at least that's still a good enough reason to use it up.

I had been keeping this for quite some time, it was one of the products in the Incredible eyes Best beauty box ever box, being a Dr lewinns fan I had a high expectation on how well this eye cream would perform. It was packaged in a sleek white box, the 30g plastic pot was filled to the top in this halo looking gel.

Using my finger I would lightly dip the tip of my finger into the gel and that would be enough product to massage into each under eye. The gel is quite thick and creates a soothing sensation as soon as the gel touches the skin, after a few seconds it leaves a sticky feeling before it absorbs into nothing. The gel gives an instant pick me up, the fine lines reduce to about 50% and the dark circles become none existent. This has been helping reduce the puffiness in my eyes from hay fever.

I have been using this for 3 weeks and have not seen an improvement in the fine lines under my eyes and forehead. It is only when I apply the eye cream that I notice results which are instant but no long term results. I enjoy how quickly the gel soothes my under eyes and relieves the puffiness but am a little disappointed that it hasn't changed my fine lines.

I wont be purchasing this in the future.

I'm not too sure where I came across this and it's the only Dr Lewinns product I have ever used. I can't see me trying anything in their range after this either I'm afraid.

The eye cream is nicely presented in a white pot with a screw off lid and the gel inside is very holo and looks amazing, with a very pleasant faint scent to it. It's very easy to apply and for me, I find it takes a few minutes to absorb. I've used this for about 3-4 weeks but am yet to notice any type of improvements or hydration at all, my skin is 42 years old and I really need the hydration, which this just doesn't give me. The killer for me has been the way it stings my eyes after application. When I use it I need to stand there or go and lie down and close my eyes for a few minutes while it absorbs. I'm really not sure what could be in it that I react to as it doesn't have the smell you would associate with a product that would sting. My eyes aren't particularly sensitive as far as I know and I have even tried going a lot further out from my eyes but it's still the same.

I'm actually at the point now where I'm just going to dispose of it as I can't take the stinging anymore.

My mom gave me this product to use as she felt this was causing her eyes to water. Usually my eyes don't react to products but for some reason even applying the product at least 1 cm away from my eyes, my eyes still sting and water. The glitter in this product is quite weird as well and I'm not sure of their purpose. The gel like consistency feels nice on application but often the next morning , dried gel flakes off when I touch the skin around my eye area. Not impressed, am probably going to throw this in the bin.

I received this free from Flybuys, I think it is normally around $60 for 30g. This is a shiny, almost translucent gel, not a cream. The smell I do not like, unusual. Absorbs quickly into skin and a tiny amount t goes a long way. Haven't noticed a lot of difference in lines but maybe a small reduction in dark circles. Skin felt soft and hydrated though. Would not purchase again, mostly because of the weird scent.
