I received this eye cream in a Beauty Vault. I like the Garnier brand, so I was curious to try it.
The eye cream comes in a green cardboard box with green writing, and a picture of the lavandin plant on it. On the box it states that it is a vegan formula, that it contains vitamin E, and that the lavandin plant is grown in France. It also states that it is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. It recommends applying it twice daily. Inside the box is a green tube with a white screw-on lid. The tube is 15mls. The tube has a long, narrow nozzle which allows a lot of control over the amount you squeeze out. You do not need to use much at all; around half a pea for each eye.
The cream itself is white, and it has a very mild scent. It goes onto the skin easily, and it absorbs well. I have dry, sensitive skin, and very sensitive eyes, so I have to be careful what I apply to them. I have been applying this eye cream twice a day for the past couple of months and it has not irritated my eyes at all. My eyes feel calm and moisturised after using this cream. It is hard to tell if the cream has had any effect on wrinkles around my eyes, as I have not noticed a huge difference, but I am enjoying using it.
Altogether this is a gentle, non-irritating and affordable eye cream. I will continue to use it and I may repurchase it once the tube has been used up.
I had run out of eye cream and this was amazingly cheap at countdown so I grabbed some of this to try and also to hopefully tie me over until I could buy my usual.
It was an ok product to use in the meantime.. I wouldn’t say it is very effective as it isn’t. I usually find with products like this they are very gentle and mild, I have no allergic reactions but also that the effects aren’t long lived or noticeable.
It’s probably too mild for my skin type or I am in that next age group that just needs something a wee bit stronger. I think this would be perfect and very affordable for someone in their 20s. But for me I just need something that has a bit more smoothing and filling power.
If anything it was probably only good at moisturising briefly but I didn’t notice any smoothing or plumping sadly.
I wasn’t too keen on the scent either but given the price and ingredients if your looking for something to start your eye skin care routine, if you don’t have the deepest set wrinkles yet and you want something without harsh ingredients this is a good bet for you.
