Snowberry Smoothing Eye Serum Review

A friend and I attended a Snowberry evening at a local pharmacy. As always, I was lured in by a GWP so I decided to try this eye serum. This has lasted me about 12 weeks and I have used it twice a day.

I like the pump packaging however it dispenses way more than you need. About half a pump is more than enough to cover both eyes entirely. It is quite a thin, yellow lotion that absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling smooth. Over the three months I have used it I haven't seen any positive changes in my under eye area. If anything I think they may look slightly more crepey.

This is a pleasant enough product to use but I would probably only purchase it again on another GWP. I think there are better eye serums available at this price.

I have used a few snowberry products and thought I would try the eye serum as I really do need help with the not so fine lines around my eye area.

While this is a pleasent enough serum to use, sadly I did not notice a difference in the area of concern.

It comes in a 15ml pump bottle and for $52.00 it is up there as far as price goes. The serum is a pale yellow colour and has a nice subtle fragrance. You dont need a lot, but one pump dispenses more than you need so you have to be careful not to waste any. You apply as you would with any other eye product.

I have to say I have used other eye serums with more pleasing results.

I love Snowberry, but honestly I'm not too sure what I was expecting. The texture is light, which is nice as I've used heavier products causing issues. I have sensitive skin and I didn't have a reaction which again is a positive outcome. However I didn't notice any difference but then again I'm only 38 so still young on the surface & at heart.

I absolutely love Snowberry's New Radiance Serum, so bought this in a 3 for 2 deal. I've been using it every night for a few months now, and have to say I'm a bit disappointed. It's done nothing *wrong*, but given the price, it's certainly done nothing *right* either. I honestly don't think it does a better job than other eye serums that are half the price or less. A couple of annoyances: the pump gives WAY too much, and so a lot goes to waste if you aren't super careful to try and only pump a small amount out. This is tricky to do, and I frequently end up with more than I need. It also takes quite a while to absorb into the eye area and seems to sting my eyes while sitting there slowly absorbing. On the plus side, the bottle design means it won't oxidise, it's NZ made, and they do have good research behind their products. I just don't think this one is worth the price tag. I will still forever be loyal to their NR serum however!

I was slightly disappointed with the soothing eye serum. I am a big fan of Snowberry face serums and moisturizers, so I did have high expectations for their eye serum. The serum is a yellowy colour and a thin consistency, with a light non-irritating fragrance. The pump gives out too much product, so you have to be careful. It absorbs nicely into the skin. However, I don't notice any difference in my eyes. If anything it brightens dark circles slightly. I didn't find it as hydrating or plumping as a proper eye cream. When putting on makeup I noticed more creasing and my eyes appeared dry. For my skin type, I think a traditional thicker eye cream works better. You could layer an eye serum and cream, but if the serum doesn't do what it says - plump, reduce fine lines, or decrease puffy eyes then it's likely a waste of money and time. It is definitely pleasant to use, but it doesn't seem to do a lot and just doesn't hydrate my under eyes enough so they ended up dry when I used the eye serum. If anyone has oily under eyes or gets milia (clogged pores) under their eyes, a serum may be a better alternative than an eye cream. But overall, it just wasn't for me.

This was a bit of a disappointment compared to other products in the range. The eye cream is of a very light consistency and takes ages to absorb into your eye area. It's completely different to other eyecreams I have used in the past and I do prefer eyecreams which are a bit thicker in consistency. It claims to help target puffiness and fine lines but I can't say I noticed any difference in my eye area after using for 3months. The annoying thing about this eyecream is how much product is wasted with each pump. Even when you only press the pump halfway it dispenses too much product. I wouldn't repurchase

I was so excited to pick this up in the beauty vault as I have heard wonderful things about Snowberry. I love supporting NZ products, especially those on the natural side and who don't test on animals. As far as effectiveness goes, it lightly moisturiser but that is about it. I saw no improvement to my fine lines or bags at all. I like the light consistency though and it has lasted me a lot longer than I thought it would. A little bit disappointed given the price point but I'll probably still try the serum.

I wouldn't say this product is a serum more of a moisturizer. The cream is white and thick for a serum. You can dispense that amount you require with the pump. It applies nicely on my skin and takes a little while to absorb. I don't need to use any eye cream on top and it does make a good base for primer and foundation. I have had more success with other serums to lesson the appearance of fine lines. Would I use this again? Yes as a moisturizer.

Received in CBBBE. First product i've tried from the brand. White pump top packaging for easy dispersal of product. It's called a serum but is more a cream/moisturiser consistency. No scent (bit sad about that, I like scented products) easily absorbed into eye area.

Results? I haven't noticed many. My eye area does like a bit smoother but that's about it. I don't hold out much hope for eye cream type products so not too disappointed about this. I wouldn't repurchase this as it's not worth it to me and I do have a favourite eye cream that is a third of the price.

I received this eye serum in a Beauty Box. I had not tried anything by the brand Snowberry before, so I was curious to give this a go. The Snowberry Smoothing Eye Serum comes in a white cardboard box. On the box it says that the eye serum contains: “NO Petrochemicals, NO Propylene or Butylene, Glycols, NO Volatile alcohols, NO Artificial colours, NO Silicones, NO DEA or MEA ingredients”. It also states that it is not tested on animals, that it is New Zealand made, and that it is a carbon zero certified product. What it claims to do for the eyes is to “reduce the appearance of fine lines and eye puffiness”. The serum itself comes in a white, plastic, 15ml pump bottle with a removeable cap. The serum has a cream-like texture, with no discernible scent. It is white.

I have been using this eye serum for the past three to four months. I have applied it twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. It is very gentle and not irritating on the eyes. I have sensitive skin and sensitive eyes, so I must be extra careful regarding the creams I place on them. This did not irritate my eyes at all. On the packaging it advises against direct contact with the eyes, however I did not experience any stinging or irritation when I accidentally put the cream in my eyes. The cream absorbs into the skin quickly, and my eye area feels moisturised afterwards.

Altogether I enjoyed using this cream. It is great to find an eye cream that does not irritate my eyes. I do not generally suffer from eye puffiness, so I cannot say whether it reduced that or not. As to the other claim to reduce fine lines, my eyes do not look noticeably different over the course of the few months I have been using this. So as a moisturising eye cream it works fine, but I do not think it is amazing enough to warrant the price.
