I have a quite intense skincare routine. I use different products for eye circles, wrinkles, pores, pimples, dryness etc. I don't feel like any one product performs miracles but as a team, maybe they can keep my skin looking plump and fresh and young for a year or two longer than if I wasn't. I find the essano facial creams to all be somewhat heavy and feel like I need to wash them off in the morning, rather than that they have absorbed like most products I've used. I don't feel this did much of anything for me unfortunately. I didn't even use the full jar before switching back to another product. I wouldn't recommend this, even as a part of your skincare team. Remember, your team is only as strong as it's weakest player.

I got this either in the beauty vault or one of the packs that beauty review does I can’t remember which right now. Was an amazing product to try, you only need a small amount makes eye area feel smooth and moisturised. Hasn’t helped my dark circles however
I'm a great fan of Essano products. I was attracted to the brand by natural ingredients especially rosehip that doesnt irritate my skin, and they are NZ made. I like this eye cream and have bought it several times. It's gentle, moisturizing and affordable. I've tried most eye cream brands and found Essano stood well alongside more expensive products. Also good base to moisturize your eye area for wearing eye shadows.
Tips: Just a tiny bit on your ring finger goes a long way. I found when I was younger that using eye creams intsead of face moisturer round the eyes stopped small white fatty spots developing that moisturizers can cause if they are too heavy.
I received this in a Beauty Box. I am a fan of Essano’s products, but I have not tried their eye cream before, so I was interested to see how it would perform.
The eye cream comes in a square cardboard box branded with Essano’s regular colours of pink and black. It is enriched with rosehip oil and is 10g. On the box this cream claims to: “smooth fine lines, lift eyelids, and reduce dark circles.” It also states that this cream is suitable for “normal to dry skin types.” The cream itself comes in a cute dark brown glass jar with a black lid. The cream is a creamy colour, with a thick texture and a buttery scent.
I have been applying this twice a day since I started using it, in the morning and before bed. The cream is easy to apply with my finger, and it does not irritate my skin or eyes. This is very important to me when using an eye cream because I have very sensitive eyes which are easily irritated by creams and scents. This cream feels thick and rich. I do not need to use much when applying it. It soaks into the skin well and my eye area feels hydrated after using it. I do not suffer from dark circles, but I do have fine lines around my eyes. I have not noticed an eyelid lift since I started using this, but I think my fine lines are looking less noticeable.
Altogether I think this is a pretty good eye cream for dry and sensitive skin types.
I am amazed that only one other reviewer has mentioned the misleading packaging of this product! I was excited to try this eye cream as I have quite enjoyed some other Essano products. It was also super affordable. However, I was quite taken aback to find such little of the product inside the box. The box is a fairly standard size in comparison to other eye creams, but upon opening I noticed a whole third of the inside space taken up by a cardboard sleeve. Annoying but moving on. When I pulled off the sleeve, I was even more surprised to find the world's tiniest jar. Misleading! And I seriously laughed out loud to open the tiny, tiny jar to find that it was half empty!!! I could literally see the bottom of the jar! The cream itself was fine, nice and light but I didn't notice any difference to my fine lines. I won't be using any Essano products in future.
I would buy this product everytime my eye cream runs out, but it is so difficult to find it on the shelves. Guess its popular then.....I would use it if I can find it, otherwise I just get another Essano product. It is a lovely product, does exactly what it said it would do, smooth those fine crows feet out and leave the eye smooth afterwards. I have used it at night and in the morning. Just a pity there is not a lot inside the tub, compare to other eye cream products.
I didn’t see any difference using this. The lines around my eyes weren’t really refined at all. Didn’t irritate my eyes, and was really moisturising, but wasn’t what i was looking for. I wanted something to reduce or refine my lines.
I found the product heavy, it took a long time to soak into the skin, even using small amounts. After 3 days. I noticed my eyelids were quite red. Threw away my eyeshadow and I thought that was the cause. I then dropped down to using once a day. My eyelids started to get dry and patchy and the product burned when I started to put it on. So alas I didn't experience any of the benefits that they claim as it would appear my eyes don't like this product. It's a good priced product but I personally would prefer a little cream or serum consistency. Other may not have the same problem. The reaction was mild, so unfortunately took me a week to realise that the eye cream was causing it. So I was reapplying to address what appeared to be dry skin! Oh well lesson learnt
Tips: Put it on and wait for a while before using any other products, it took a while to be absorbed in the skin. Alternatively maybe use as a night product only.
Eye cream, is it really needed now a days with the array of products and formats available.
I don't really put that much effort into choosing one, usually a cheaper one, leaving me to spend more on other products like serum, moisterisor or oil.
I don't want to not use one 'just in case' and I find myself with longer, deeper harder to deal with lines around my eyes in years to come. Have used eyecream every am & pm for over 25 years.
I have been reminded that eye cream isn't just about lines but also brightening and dark circles.
Essano has Rosehip (a fav product of mine), boosts collagen (strengthens skin & benefits elasticity & hydration). Comes in a little dark glass jar, format of product is silky and very easy to apply. Absorbs really well and skin around my eyes has defentially hydrated and smoothed out. No noticeable fragrance. Very pleasant.
Only annoying thing is as a jar getting product out is harder, especially with longer nails. Invest in some tiny spatulas, more hygienic and removes the "jar" frustration.
I have a love/not love relationship with Essano, some of their products seem cheap & with no real thought or love put into them BUT they injected that little bit of love into this product.
IMO $19.99 a great price, Essano have nailed this one. Supermarkets have regular discounts giving more value for $.
All in all not unhappy with product, another one I'm happy with from Beauty Box that I might not have purchased in-store myself.
Tips: That little bit left over, rub around lips.
I really like this eye cream from Essano. Its the first eye cream that I have tried with collagen in it. I have found that it works for me.
The eye crème is not too thick. I apply it at night after cleansing. It has become a big part of my skincare routine. A little goes a long way so I assume that this will last quite a while. Since using it, my under eye area has become a lot brighter which I am very happy about.
It retails for $19.99 for 10g. Its very affordable and available at supermarkets. Easy to pickup a new one in your shopping without thought. Very convenient.
