Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream Review

I love this eye cream! It's expensive, but by god is it worth it. I use this at night and use a lighter serum-like eye cream in the mornings.

It's really important to use an eye cream because the skin around your eyes shows signs of aging before any other skin on your face. I find the Bobbi Brown hydrating eye cream keeps that skin nice and plump and elastic, and of course hydrated.

I have quite dehydrated skin beneath my eyes which means makeup doesn't always sit nicely there. Since using this cream regularly I've noticed an improvement in texture, which thereby makes my makeup look better too.

I had been on the hunt for what seemed a long time for the perfect eye cream that was going to help get rid of those pesky fine lines under my eyes...and 2 months ago, that hunt ended.

I cannot believe how unbelievably well the eye cream works. It is slowly, but surely, making those wrinkles, well, not disappear, but definitely diminish.

When I first got the product, I was a bit put off by the price and the actual size of the product, but as soon as I saw how much I actually had to use (you really don't need much), I realise that it was actually going to last for ages!

My concealer goes on a lot nicer now and I do think it is making a difference in the overall appearance of my eye area as a whole...

I am so glad I have this in my life :o)

When I bought my expensive serum foundation from the Bobbi Brown counter I asked for samples of other products and got a sachet of this eye cream. I had received a pot of this eye cream in the past when I went to Dress for Success but since I was in love with my current eye serum at the time and had plenty left in the roller I gave this away to a friend who didn't have much skincare. So when I got a few sachets given to me from the counter I decided to use it this time, since a pot retails at $85 I wanted to see if it was worth it. Well, surprisingly I've been using that for over a month and I still got plenty left, so imagine how long a full-size will last you. I also like that squalane is third on the list of ingredients rather than at the end. It also has some other natural oils and ingredients like jojoba oil, avocado oil and aloe vera but those aren't that high on the list. I have found this to be good at hydrating and feels comfortable around my eyes. I like to apply this at night mainly but I have applied this in the morning a few times. When I use it at night, I find my eye area isn't tight and dry when I wake up in the morning. However, I don't think this eye cream is worth the price tag, because it's performance doesn't seem to surpass the other eye creams I've used in the past that have been more affordable. I still have puffiness and the dark circles are still about the same. It is hydrating but so are other eye creams that I have used and are more affordable. While it doesn't claim to reduce puffiness or dark circles at $85 a pot I would expect it to do a lot more than just hydrate. I can't say if it keeps my eyes hydrated for 24 hours because I wash my face twice a day and apply eye cream each time, although my under eye area is hydrated up until I wash it. I'm glad I tried a sample because I don't think I will purchase this.

I wish this stuff had worked out for me. I had high expectations and had completely bought into the hype. I wish I hadn’t. It was an expensive pot of pleasant but not ground breaking cream. It didn’t un-age me, it didn’t even de-age me a year! I’m jealous of anyone for whom this worked because I certainly wasn’t one of them and for the price that’s disappointing to me. It did nothing for my wrinkles, but it did moisturize. However, I can get that from a $10 pot so that’s where I’ll stay.
