Olay Ultimate Eye Cream Review

I needed a new eye cream and found this one half price so snapped it up. I’ve had great results from Olay products before so was expecting a lot. When I opened the jar I hadn’t even realised it’s tinted! The first time I’ve seen this in an eye product.

The packaging is huge for the jar and I don’t really like putting my fingers in but luckily I had a plastic wand from another brand I dipped in to the jar to control the amount I got. It’s a really nice cream, silky smooth, easy to apply and colour just melts away into your skin without being noticeable or too heavy. At the end of the day I can still feel it hydrating and yes my fine lines are a wee bit softer but it’s no different from any other eye cream really. I don’t have dark circles normally so can’t comment on that aspect.

One negative I found was that on some days the colour congealed a bit in my lines so perhaps my skin was more dry at the time.

I’m not sure if I’d get this again, I’ll probably be more likely to buy a tube version from Olay but it’s a nice hydrating cream I’ll definitely use until the end of the jar.

I like that this eye cream is quite hydrating without being too heavy for my undereye area. Even though that tint of colour is not particularly noticeable, the product is overall effective. My dark circles have faded noticeably however it has not reduced any puffiness for me. I think more long-term use may help?

The texture is very luxurious and soaks into my skin well. But given the price tag, I feel like there are equally good alternatives in the market.

When I first saw this, I was a bit alarmed at the colour, it is a nice shade of Trump, however, first impressions can be deceiving, and this Ultimate Eye cream has proved me wrong! Packaging wise, this is a nice sturdy glass jar, that looks great by the bedside, and the lid is shiny, smooth and contoured. OK, so the shade of the cream, I had visions of applying clown makeup, the colour is a strong peach, and looks very opaque, (I'm super pale so I freaked out a bit), this is where I was Wrong!. The colour for me, does not seem to transfer to the eye area as I thought it would, it melts into the skin, and is luxurious and lightweight in texture. No greasy after feel, and no smell that I could observe. I didn't notice a slight concealer effect though. I use this before my primer in the morning, it is a sooo nice to use, that I don't just use it for the eye area, this is quite the all-rounder of a product! Super hydrating for dry overly air conditioned office cheeks. I cannot say I noticed a difference on the first application, but I have been using this religiously ever since I received it, and will continue to do so, I can say, I will be repurchasing this one! Thanks BR, you have put another holy grail product on my list!

This is kind of a tough item for me to review as it's the dryest eye cream I have ever used but it does instantly make dark circles look a bit better.

It has seemed to make my under eye area smoother but when I put concealer over top of it it's just too dry so I have to use a moisturizer overtop of the eye cream.

It has no fragrance and I'm not even half way through the pottle after using it day and night for 3 weeks but for the price tag I would expect more dramatic results.

Won this Olay eye cream a couple of Vaults ago and it's taken me a long time to make my mind up. First of all, this is about $50 when full price, which I consider a lot for a drugstore type product - it is Olay after all, not a high end product. I really think it should be at least half the price. Did I like it? Overall yes, despite my grumbling. It's got a lovely silk texture and rubs in very easily so you don't need much. I ended up using it as a sort of BB cream and putting it all over my face. It seems to give my face a more healthy hue, but you can still see the various imperfections, lines, and whatnot that we all try to cover with mirale creams and potions! For that reason I don't think it's their 'ultimate' cream, but it's nice.

So- I didnt hate this, but it wasn't lifechanging...

The colour was quite fleshy, looked like I was putting on foundation, I looked in the mirror to see if it was coloured on my face, but it wasnt, disappeared into the skin like any other cream.

It was just eye cream, like I say nothing life changing for me. depending on the price point I would potentially purchase it again if it was on the lower end of the scale or on sale I unfortunately didnt notice my under eye circles disappearing, but I was unwell during the time of using it, so it could be more about other factors that even the best eye cream made of unicorn sprinkles couldnt fix haha.

It smelt quite nice and wasnt greasy, i will continue using it until its finished.

its quite drying for my eyes ,it just like a eye conceler which covers your problems but its not that effective as a foundation coverage to your eyes ,dont know if it has any bag and dark circle reducing effect ,

Moisturising and lovely texture, but I can’t really say that it did anything else. I still have my dark circles and puffy eyes. Nice little container, and it feels expensive, but I wouldn’t use it again.

This eye cream feels really nice to apply and definitely makes my under eyes feel softer. It's a very thick and rich formula and so a little goes a long way and so the container will last a long time. However I can't really say that it does what it says it will do, I have noticed no permanent change in my dark under eye or fine lines. It does work a little to cover dark circles as it is tinted but that effect washes straight off. I did like how it made me feel like I was treating myself but it didn't really give me the results it said it would.

My eyes are deep set so dark circles are genetic. Ive been using this for 5days now. Have realised from reading its claims and after using, that it doesnt actually make dark circles disappear, it covers them up!. It is slightly tinted so when you put it on it does slightly cover the dark areas. It has definately softened/moisterised the area around my eyes. To be honest i think you could probably get better results from a good moisteriser and concealer. I myself would not repurchase this as it is a super expensive TEMPORARY fix.
