The packaging for this is extremely misleading; you get a small pottle in a big box, and mine was about half empty the first time I opened it. It smells nice, but I found it too irritating to use on my eyes - it works well on cuticles and elbows. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to give this one a miss.

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.
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 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 picked this up in the last beauty vault it came in the beauty box I got . I ran out of eye cream this came to me just in time . It’s a good addition to my skin care regime .
Packaging comes in a small glass pot with gold and black writing . Easy to identify amongst other products .
Consistency is creamy and white has that signature Essano scent of freshly cut roses . I like to apply this one at night after toning and cleansing my skin .After using this my eyes feel hydrated . My puffy ness seems to reduce significantly. But no change to my lines around my eyes . I haven’t had an eye cream that reduces lines yet .
Overall a good addition to my skincare . It’s good for anyone looking for a start in skincare . I like how you could easily find it at any supermarket or chain store .
I'm not convinced eye creams change or slow ageing all that much, but I am a believer in some pampering around the eye.
This eye cream is lovely to apply around my eye area, and definitely fabulous at hydrating that area and softening the skin. Sadly, in my 40's I'm not sure there's any product out there to lift my eyelids, even a little, and youthful appearance is probably a stretch too. That said I think it's a good bonus product to your regime if you find your eye area a little dry or tired looking - especially as an overnight treatment.
Be warned, the box is way bigger than the product jar, so is rather underwhelming, but the good news is that you only need a smudge of this product for your eye area, so it lasts forever!
It's not a face lift in a jar, but it is a nice addition if you're wanting a budget eye cream that helps rehydrate and soften the eye area,
I got this in a BR vault and have happily used the lot and would consider buying it again, I use this at night - I'm heading towards 40 so use a hydrating eye cream at night and an energizing one in the morning.
This looks a lot more expensive than it is, coming in a dark brown glass jar - a heavy little solidly comforting weight. The cream is white and a thickish consistency in the pottle.
A small amount does both eyes, and leaves the skin hydrated and feeling fresh. I find that my eye area hasn't dried out overnight using this, and I think there's been an improvement to the hydration and appearance of my under eye skin and laugh lines, but whether I can attribute all of that to this eye cream is impossible to say.
For the price and accessibility I'd 100% repurchase, and probably will when I use up the nice wee stash of eye products that's built up in my bathroom!
Tips: I use a cotton bud or a small spatula to scoop out the cream each night rather than dip my fingers in the pot repeatedly.
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 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.
