Snowberry Smoothing Eye Serum Review

After each usage, this eye serum left my undereye area feeling smooth and refreshed. I like how it focuses on the natural side of skin care. The only thing that annoyed me was that I had no idea when it would run out! It's fantastic that it's created in New Zealand; it's great to support the local economy. I initially obtained it in a BR vault; I'm just 26, so my under eyes aren't horrible, but I wanted to start while I was younger so they'd look better when I was older! I get puffy beneath the eyes as well, and this has helped. I would buy this as a gift and highly suggest it.

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.

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.

I got this eye serum in a BBBE with the nourishing lite cream, and I have been using them together. I haven't tried many Snowberry products so I was interested to try these ones.

The eye serum comes in a plastic bottle with a big top that looks like it will be an aerosol when you take the lid off, but it is actually a plastic pump.

The product when pumped out, comes out in a nice amount for doing under my eyes. It was a mild smell similar to the rosehip/cardboard scent that I don't usually like, but which is not strong enough to be unpleasant in this product. I have been using it twice or thrice daily.

It feels soft and waxy and is non-irritating under my eyes. I like it, it's nice. It is smoothing and hydrating. It claims it will reduce the appearance of fine lines and puffiness and I agree that it meets this claim. It lacks a lot of the yicky ingredients too, which is a huge drawcard.

At $69 it is more pricey than I like to pay for an eye serum, but if I saw it on a special or with an incentive then I would probably buy it, and I do recommend it to others to try.

I recieved this in the Christmas Best beauty box ever. I haven't really had much to do with eye creams but I'm getting to the point that I probably need to start thinking about using something - but at the same time I'm asking myself - do eye creams even work? I think I will continue using it just because I have it but a part of me still thinks eye creams are a bit of a have. It did feel soothing, refreshing and moisturing to my tired (need about 100 hours more sleep) mum eyes and would say it reduced puffiness but I'm still skeptical about whether I will see results with this product in terms of fine lines and wrinkles with a hefty price tag. I do like that it is New Zealand made with some pretty great ingredients and I recommend it if you need something to wake your eyeballs up in the morning. The product also has quite a generous quantity in terms of eye creams.

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.

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.
