Dark under eye circles? Check. Puffiness? Check? This eye product was made for me. I've tried a few with varying results and am always on the look out for something better. I may have found it.
First up I have to say I adore the packaging. Slim, sleek and I love that you pump a little out through a nozzle - you're not dipping fingers into a pottle and it feels more hygienic and you can control the amount that comes out.
The product itself is a clear, nearly watery, gel. A little scented, but nothing offensive. It's easy to apply with your ring fingers and once patted in and around the eye socket it sinks in easily.
What impressed me the second to most was that I felt a cooling and tightening in the eye area immediately after using it - something was happening! I've yet to notice any improvement in my dark under eye circles, but the two pouches that have recently formed in the area underneath/between my tear duct/nose area has gone. GONE. This had been making me look especially tired - not anymore. I'm amazed.
Would I recommend? Yes. Perhaps not for under eye dark circles (will update if that changes) but definitely for puffiness.
There are some beauty products that feel utterly pampering. This is one of those products. Since it arrived in my mailbox for me to review I have looked forward to using this eye gel each morning and evening. The packaging is gorgeous - the opalescent tube is beautiful and the size of the container is handy for travelling as well as for use at home. The pump is well designed to squeeze a good size amount for application. Whilst I can't say this product has cured my dark circles and made me look 10 years younger I can say that the gel has a deliciously cooling effect on the eye area and I feel like it is doing something. After a day of wearing make-up I sometimes find my eyes feeling crinkly. This gel has an instant cooling affect and feels like it's smoothing out any crinkles. This feeling lasts for hours. I will continue to use this product as I feel it is making a difference to my eye area. It's a great product for summer as well due to the cooling affect. I would recommend this product to others - especially for the price.
Tips: I don't like to rub eye products in but let them soak in so I would recommend applying at least 10 minutes before make-up to allow time for your skin to soak the product up. A small amount goes a long way.
