Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream

I loved using this eye cream - I think the addition of banana powder is genius to combat the dark tones of under eyes. It felt really yummy and moisturising, and definitely lessened the look of my darker undereye spots.

Did it 'get rid of' my dark circles as it says on the box? Absolutely not, but I've never met an eye cream that can, so I would take that with a grain of salt.

I don't think it lives up to all it's claims on the box, but I loved the texture, the colour, the smell, and the price tag; so I would definitely repurchase.

I was really keen to try this, as I've had wonderful results with Vitamin C products on my skin before and I've never used a banana based product before. I was quite surprised by the thick consistency of this eye cream and the bright yellow colour.

The yellow eye cream doesn't leave skin looking yellow, which is great, and as I only use eye cream at night, I didn't test it under make-up. I applied this eye cream before climbing into bed and then did my usual half hour to hour-long read before falling asleep. One thing I did find is that the eye cream made my skin feel rather sticky where it'd applied it. It's not bad, since I'd be sleeping with it on, but it's not a feeling I'd want to have during the day.

I suffer with allergic rhinitis all year round, so I tend to have dark circles under my eyes from my allergies, and I am impressed with this eye cream. Not only did it moisturise and leave my skin looking and feeling smooth, it's definitely improved and reduced the appearance of my under eye circles.

I would recommend this and will be using more of it, I'm just not a fan of the sticky feeling.

This under eye cream is a mustardy yellow colour, which I guess gives a slight colour correcting type of effect. It has some shimmer in it, but your under eye area doesn’t end up looking all shimmery. I found that this did give a brightening effect (nothing drastic but still brighter). I used this morning and night (in place of my normal eye cream), and I feel like I have noticed a difference is the appearance of my fine lines. It works beautifully under concealer, so I’m definitely going to keep using this product. Most likely only on days I wear make up or when I feel like I need an extra brightening boost.

Thanks BR for selecting me for this trial it was great!

The box it arrived in was brightly colored very appealing to the eye. The tube inside was also great to look at but quite small & slim, I was expecting a bigger tube considering size of box!

The tube had a screw lid with a soft rubbery application tip which I thought was really cool and was flexible & great for application.

A couple of times I applied too much product but overall it was easy to dispense and soaked in quickly which was great and didn't leave a greasy finish. It sat wonderfully under my makeup.

I only applied under my eyes as it seemed to irritate the top part of my brow bone area.

The product was a thickesh bright orange cream and smelt good. I just applied 3 dots under each eye and patted it in. It easily absorbed.

I'm not sure if I will continue with this as I haven't noticed a huge difference. I don't have alot of wrinkles around my eyes anyway for my age, as I constantly live in sunglasses when I'm outside so I've always protected my eyes!

I think I need a bit longer using this product to make a final decision though.

I've checked out pricing and feel its expensive for what it is. If I continue I would buy it on "special"

This has to be my favourite in the Garnier Vitamin C range. I have been under a lot of stress, some nights with 5hrs of broken sleep so lots of bags under my eyes. The eye cream really did help! It did take away the puffiness, it’s not a miracle worker so I still have fine lines. I really enjoyed the high amount of Vitamin C in this product. I did need to make sure I rubbed it all in, otherwise an orange residue will remain. When I first used it I applied the eye cream straight on my skin with the slanted applicator but this seemed to put out too much cream. I preferred to use my finger tips to apply it.

Love, love this product! Oh, to find an eye cream that actually reduces black circles AND bags! Hallejula! This cream comes in a tube with a rubber applicator on the end which makes dispensing tiny dots around the eye a breeze! The cream is a lovely consistency which is easy to pat and spread around the eye area. It soaks into the skin very quickly leaving the area smoother and hydrated. After using this eye cream morning and night for 3 weeks, my dark circles and under eye bags have improved significantly! Best eye cream I have ever used!

I had big hopes that this product would make a noticeable difference under my eyes but I didn’t notice much of a change unfortunately. I’ll continue using it and see how it goes. The yellow tone of the cream felt like it neutralised my dark circles which was a positive!

This tube of eye cream claims to revive the look of tired eyes, improve the look of under eye dark circles and brighten skin around the eyes. Dispensed from quite a long tube, the vivid yellow colour is a bit surprising, but doesn't stay yellow once applied. It does seem to give the skin around my eyes a bit of a lift and makes my wrinkles a bit more plumped out. I really like what Garnier is doing with skincare. I would probably repurchase.Thanks Beauty Review for the opportunity to trial and review.

Love the fact that this is fragrance free and that I am able to use this under my make up. Gradually brightened under eye area.

I love this eye cream, it's magic, it makes me look so much more awake. The colour correction it gives my under eyes is amazing, so bright and healthy looking. Easy to apply, melts nicely into skin. Light weight product, gentle around the eyes. Squeezey Tube Packaging is great, no product contamination like when in a pottle. Feels nice and hydrating on the skin and I do feel my fine lines aren't as prominent as before using this eye cream. Sits well under make up. A new favorite would definitely recommend.
