Dr Lewinns Firming Eye Cream Review

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.

I got this eye cream in the Staff Picks BBBE and I was keen to try it as I'd heard other people say they liked it, and I knew it was pretty pricey.

It comes in a cute white cardboard box with a pink lid and Dr Lewinns branding - attractive and pretty. Inside, a surprisingly small, white, pot holds the actual product.

The product itself is more gel-like and less of a cream. It is kind of silky-shiny-simmery-transparent all at the same time.

Once applied, it is refreshingly cool and absorbs very quickly. I really like the initial cool feeling. I have to say though, after using it for a while, I haven't really noticed any difference in my eyes. I really wanted to, and hoped I would, but I really can't see any changes. It hasn't reduced/revived any lines nor reduced any puffiness, nor firmed anything, as the product claims to do, so apart from enjoying the cooling feeling when the product is applied, it hasn't impressed me.

The instructions say to use sparingly and I have, so the pot will last for ages, but that's not really a bonus if it isn't doing anything. It has Vitamin A and collagen and elastin, so I thought it would do something - maybe it takes a lot longer than a few weeks to notice a difference or maybe it just doesn't work so well for more mature skin. Either way, I'll use it to the end of the pot, but I won't be repurchasing it.

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.

I love the look and feel of this product. I do enjoy putting it on, BUT I'm not so sure it really does anything. I have lines under my eyes and they definitely have not improved due to this product. The skin itself may be more healthy, but visually there is no change. I wanted it to work because I like the feel of the product when I put it on, but it just hasn't done anything...

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.

This wasn't too of my to try list when I got this in my beauty box so it day unopened for a little while. This is a 30g tub that is used sparingly so it will definitely last a while. The product itself is a lovely shimmery gel which has a pleasant but soft aroma. This has a cooling effect when applied which seems to dry and tighten at the same time. Not sure I've seen any great results as yet bit I'll keep using it. Only downside is occasionally it seems to form a skin which when you touch round your eyes later comes off. I don't think it's visible to anyone else and it may just be me using to much product but worth being noted. Overall don't think I would purchase this product myself but it is a nice pampering treat for now.

I received this in an Incredible Eyes BBBE. The product is more jellish than cream and has a opal like shimmer to it. A little goes a long way but I must say I haven't noticed a heap of difference round my eyes (or anywhere else) and I probably wouldn't buy the product again. Most of the writing on the tub has rubbed off completely, where I held onto the tub. As a result, when I came back to retry it after a break, I couldn't read what the product was for (could just see a "F" for the product name and the words fine lines and wrinkles in the description) and when I finally checked on line found that instead of using it as an eye cream, I had been using on my whole face! Definitely think Dr Lewinns should rethink their packaging.
