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"

I didn’t know what to expect from this but was pleasantly surprised! It is super hydrating and creamy, doesn’t absorb so quickly. It’s bright yellow colour and a I like the applicator. Totally would purchase this product and use again.

This formula is really hydrating and smells delicious. Love the bright yellow colour and applicator. It was not fast drying and my under eye area was still hydrated in the morning

After 3 weeks, my eye bags officially packed themselves and went elsewhere, including that raccoon look...which I attribute to being a toddler Mum. Super easy application, no need to use your fingers, hygienic! It glides on smoothly, absorbs quickly and dries without residue. I love the bright orange colour! My eye area feels firmer and looks brighter, I will definitely keep this product in my beauty draw!

As this cream as a yellow colour I found that it looked quite yellowy after application and for sime reason made my dark circles more accentuated,. Purely for this reason I will probably not buy agaun but it did leave the eye area feeling and looking hydrated. Also worked well under foundation and concealer as it absorbes well

I loved this eye cream, the applicator on the tube makes it so easy to apply so you use the correct amount and don't over ply , the fragrance is not too overpowering. I noticed a difference after a couple of weeks, it really helped with the fine lines under my eyes and dark circles.

Garnier products are always reasonably priced and great you can get them at the Supermarket.

I have never used an eye cream that is actually yellow, so this was a first for me. I found it to be a solid eye cream, it hasnt made me want to stray from my usual product, but i did enjoy using it.

The reduction in the appearance of dark circles was almost immediate, but i assume this is due to the colour of the eye cream, this of course helped with dullness too. It could have been more hydrating, but perhaps i am used to a very hydrating eye cream. I have found my undereyes feel smooth, and soft. My concealer goes on nicely, no getting caught on dry or dead skin. I didnt notice any changes in fine lines.

I liked the packaging - it was simple, and clean. I did like not getting eye cream under my nails when I dig into the wee pot of cream.

I will finish it up, but probably go back to my old faithful.
