This is my favourite product from the Neutrogena Hydro Boost range. It is described as an 'eye roll-on' which is essentially an eye cream/gel with a roll-on applicator that can be used morning and night. Previously I had been using the Clarins Eye Gel which makes similar claims of targeting puffiness and dark circles, but comes with a $60 price tag. I found the two products very similar in terms of the results, however the Neutrogena Eye Roll-On is more refreshing, quicker to use and comes with a pretty little price tag of $24.99.
Immediately after using the Neutrogena Eye Roll-On I felt refreshed and hydrated. I regularly suffer from hayfever so my eye area is often irritated. This, combined with staring at computer screens and long days at work leaves my eyes feeling heavy and tired, even when my body is wide awake. The Neutrogena Eye-Roll on provides an instant boost of cool, refreshing hydration that is quick to apply and hydrates for hours afterward. Because of the quick, mess free application I have even snuck a few added applications in the late afternoon. This added moisture has left my eye area less puffy in the mornings, through a combined application of before bed and after my morning shower. The product doesn't leave a heavy residue so I can apply my makeup immediately afterwards.
Other than being refreshing, lovely to use and slightly reducing puffiness, this product doesn't do a whole lot else. I didn't see a significant difference in dark circles and this product makes no anti-aging claims (however hydration is obviously number one for preventing fine lines and wrinkles). But for myself, this is all I need. I'm 20 years old so I am not looking for a heavy anti-aging eye cream, and dark circles are not an issue for me. I will continue to use this product day and night, particularly over summer. For those who are using a more expensive, heavy duty eye cream at night, this would be a great addition to your morning routine.
This product was one that i was highly excited about using, I have never used an eye roll before and I couldn't wait to see how this worked.
It comes in a blue tube, its small and compact, I found this easy to carry in my handbag or makeup bag, very light weight.
When using this product i have to squeeze the tube so some of the formula comes out, rolling it under my eyes feels so soothing! The gel is a light creamy formula, I use my ring finger to gently help the formula absorb into my under eyes.
Even after the first application i noticed how hydrated my under eyes were and how i looked much better. I like to use this before applying my concealer, it makes a huge difference to when I used to apply my eye makeup.
If I am using this alone after a few hours the fine lines do go back to normal where i need to reapply,
Overall it is a great product and one that i will continue using, if i dont have time to put makeup on this is one of the must do things i apply before leaving my house.
Tips: I roll this under my eyes before applying my concealer, its a great base and it helps fill in all the fine lines before applying my makeup.
