Olay Ultimate Eye Cream Review

I’ve been using this product for about 6 days now and I’m really enjoying its ‘instant fix’ results in terms of helping to mask dark circles, fine lines & puffiness. However, I have to agree below with Catherinetiatoa’s review that it does appear to be a temporary solution to these skin issues, not a long-term one. I personally have not noticed with a week of use that it has any longer-lasting effects on those problem areas whatsoever. HOWEVER, as a temporary fix, it does an incredible job!! It does indeed lighten the skin directly under my eyes and hence help to kill off the appearance of those ugly dark circles. But, perhaps even more importantly for me as a 42-year-old (!), I’ve noticed it’s extremely good at covering up those pesky fine lines under my eyes. I was reasonably surprised when I first starting using it as it creates quite a noticeable difference, which is why I’d buy this product again. Instant results, but defintely not a permanent fix, and as long as you’re not expecting a permanent fix, then this product won’t disappoint. It absolutely does help to mask those specific problem areas. And I find it does help to minimise the look of puffiness too. It won’t completely mask those issues, but it does go a long way towards helping to minimise them. It seems to just melt into my skin when I apply it, it looks even and matches my skin tone really well. It also has a lovely hydrating feel (which is what it says on the product specs), and then makes the eye area appear lighter and a bit more youthful. So in that respect it’s definitely worth using in my eyes (excuse the pun!)...

I apply it after I put on my usual daily moisturiser and primer and prior to applying my usual foundation.

From the moment I spied the pale pink cream I fell in love. Not only was it a delicate pink ,the cream was equally as delicate on my eyes. I was a bit fearful to use it as in the past I found eye creams to be heavy and produce milia on my skin but I have used this morning and night with no adverse effects. Its too soon to say its made a dramatic difference but I have certainly noticed my eye area is plumper with lines not so deeply etched. I will continue to buy this cream.

The packing was basic and gave clear directions on how to use. You knew what you were getting. The cream felt lovely rubbing in, soaked in quickly, wasn’t sticky and didn’t leave a residue. When I seen that it was brown I was curious to see if it would leave a colour trace so tried on a piece of tissue and it didn't. Only need a small amount that goes far so even though it’s only in 15ml it should last ages. I felt it helped with puffiness in the mornings and my skin definitely felt smoother but would need to use for Longer to judge effect on wrinkles. Reasonably priced for an eye cream I would buy again

When I first received this product I was shocked by the colour and was worried it would make my undereyes orange due to my pale skin tone. The product looked like a jar of concealer but I was intrigued how they said it would work with most skin tones.

The packaging the jar comes in feels cheap and it quite fragile whereas the jar the product is in is quite nice and feels a bit more high end. At first it feel like a small container for the price but a little goes a very long way!

It’s easy enough to get the product out and easy enough to apply. The product goes on smoothly and easily absorbed - I didn’t notice a massive difference to my undereye circles but my gosh it left them feeling so smooth and hydrated!

In love how it leaves my eyes feeling and after using it twice a day for over a week, I have noticed a decreased in the darkness underneath my eyes. This product really surprised me and has now replaced my current eye cream! I highly recommend trying this product!

I really loved the texture of this eye creme. It felt very soothing and it left my eye area feeling beautifully nourished and my fine lines seemed less visible straight away. I found the slight tint that it has really did make my dark circles less obvious and it sat beautifully under my makeup. Having been sensitive to many eye cremes in the past, I was delighted with how gentle and quick absorbing this eye creme was while delivering all of the other benefits too! I definitely recommend trying!

This is the silkiest, most delicious feeling eye cream I have ever used. After using this I definitely noticed that my eye area was looking much smoother and brighter. Though honestly, with how lovely it feels I'd still keep using it even if it did very little!

I was a bit concerned with how small it was but you really don't need much so the pot should last quite a while. I'd say you because of this it is great value for money when compared to other eye creams available out there.

I love that it has a slight tinge to it so it can be used as a bit of a concealer - I don't normally use concealer 'cause I'm lazy!!

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone!

First impression: I absolutely loved the Box packaging, it had a nice weight to it and looked high end. The product itself is very lite, the packaging had the weight.

The jar is lux and beautiful. (I have it on display) The product feels lovely once you touch it, it feels soft, lite and feels like blurring product. It definitely brightens the undereye area and dulls the darkness, it feels extremely soft and very smooth; it blends into the skin seamlessly. On me it doesn't seem to give my undereye area the hydration it needs. This is for me personally as I have dryer under eyes and need more hydration.

Makeup goes over top seamlessly and the products did make it look brighter then usual.

Half way through the day I did notice creasing from this products under foundation and concealer. All you have to do is smooth is with your finger. (I've tried it with less product and it didn't crease mush under makeup; may not crease to someone who doesn't have a dry under eye area.)

Dark circles have always been an issue I’m not sure if it’s true lack of sleep or if they were passed on as a gift from my loving mother.

This is the first eye cream I have come across that has colour to it which I think is a brilliant idea. I find when I have it on I definitely notice it makes my dark circles less noticeable but over all I’m not to sure how much it is improving them.

I would prefer it in a tube, maybe come with a spatula or something rather than just sticking your fingers straight into it.

I love the jar but I tend to think olay over package their products it’s a bit over kill for something your just going to throw away.

I will definitely be replacing this product and updating my review after a longer period of use

As someone who works ridiculously late nights and then gets up way too early, I thought my dark circles and bags would be the ultimate trial for this product. Bring it on!

The packaging is clean and simple, but oh so pretty with the silver/mirrored card backing the jar. The little pedestal it sits on helps give it that touch of elegance and luxury that we all want to experience when using quality products.

When I first opened the jar, I was a little skeptical about how the tinted colour would look around my eyes. I'm extremely fair-skinned with cool undertones, which made me think I would look like a clown once I applied, but it glided on and blended so flawlessly, I was amazed. The tint certainly does help reduce the dark circles while I'm wearing it, but has no visible lasting difference once my face is washed clean.

The cream goes on smoothly, and being fairly light, it dries quickly. It leaves the skin around the eyes feeling hydrated without the stickiness that some products leave behind, and in fact, the skin feels satiny with a smooth texture, which helps in applying eye makeup and making it last.

This is definitely a keeper for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy this once the trial product runs out. With the small amount needed, and the benefits I'm seeing out of this product, I think the price point of under fifty dollars is money well-spent.

An eye cream is something that I’ve been looking at for a while and have been advised by a skin care specialist to use. There are so many out there so I was a little overwhelmed and hadn’t yet picked one but then I was luckily given the opportunity to trial the Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream.

The packaging is really beautiful, however there is a lot of plastic, which I’m not loving at the moment, I’d love to see leaders in the beauty industry take note of this and start to look at other ways to display their products!

The outer packaging is very informative with all of the usual ingredients, steps of use and the benefits of using the product. You can see the small tub through the packaging and at first glance I was slightly worried about the colour. The information that I had read about the eye cream said that it had inner technology to match any skin tone, it just didn’t look that way and also didn’t state that anywhere on the outer packaging which would have made me too cautious to buy if I’d seen it in a shop. It did say ‘colour correcting technology’

The pot of product is very small, only 15ml and my first impression was that it wasn’t going to last very long and at almost $50 it was very expensive, I’m really not sure how much eye creams usually are though so maybe it’s comparative?? However I am due to fly long haul in the next month and it’s actually the perfect size for me to keep my eye area hydrated on the plane without taking up too much space!

The product itself has no scent so great for those of use who are sensitive to that, it also does not go on as ‘orange’ as it looks. It’s silky and glides onto your skin so you don’t get any tugging around the delicate eye area. I am extremely lucky that I don’t have huge bags or lots of wrinkles, just a few crows feet but I definitely found that this helped my make up glide on and last longer and made my eyes appear brighter.

It’s a really lovely product and I’d feel comfortable just using this on my eyes on a make up free day :-)
