Olay Ultimate Eye Cream Review

I have never sed eye cream before primarily because I felt that the aging process will happen regardless what creams I put on my face. However I feel I’m now a convert, this product was amazing it brightened my under eye circles after the first application. I feel this product made a big difference to very tired face. It was hydrating and really did help colour correct my dark circles. Can’t rave about this product more!!!

The short answer is...Kind of.

The main purpose of the product is to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles around the eyes. I didn't feel like it made much of a difference here - I have pale skin and even after a good nights sleep, I still have a bit of darkness under my eyes. I didn't feel like the cream, either straight away or after continued use, helped this. ....But, in saying that, I still kinda liked it. I know, that makes no sense! The product looked nice, felt nice, and smelled nice, and it felt pretty fancy for a low-end supermarket cream. It made a great base for under-eye concealer and for eye shadow.

At the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, and I wouldn't purchase again. For the time that this product lasts me (which will be a fair while; you only need a tiny touch on the tip of your finger, and there's a decent amount in the little glass pottle) I'll continue to use it as a base/moisturiser, but I won't expect any dramatic results. I'll feel pretty fancy while doing it though!

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.

I received this through the trial teams and I have to say I was pretty impressed! Not only does it apply really well (not greasy!), it has a slight tint so it provides light/barely there concealing. Which is great because under eyes are normally the part that need most concealing! I didn't notice a huge change in the appearance of my under eyes during the time I used this (2 weeks) but I feel like this is the kind of product which works on application opposed to being the type of product that works on improving appearance of eyes over time. I'm impressed anyway. When using as part of my makeup process - it fit in really well. I moisturised, applied the eye cream and because of the non-greasiness I was able to apply my foundation and proper concealer not long after. I'm a bit budget conscious when it comes to products so I'm not sure if I would buy this product the the price advertised but on the other hand this stuff would last for yonks so perhaps it's worth it! I'll leave that up to you to decide :)

An eye cream is something that I’ve been looking at for a while and have been advised by a skin care specialist to use. There are so many out there so I was a little overwhelmed and hadn’t yet picked one but then I was luckily given the opportunity to trial the Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream.

The packaging is really beautiful, however there is a lot of plastic, which I’m not loving at the moment, I’d love to see leaders in the beauty industry take note of this and start to look at other ways to display their products!

The outer packaging is very informative with all of the usual ingredients, steps of use and the benefits of using the product. You can see the small tub through the packaging and at first glance I was slightly worried about the colour. The information that I had read about the eye cream said that it had inner technology to match any skin tone, it just didn’t look that way and also didn’t state that anywhere on the outer packaging which would have made me too cautious to buy if I’d seen it in a shop. It did say ‘colour correcting technology’

The pot of product is very small, only 15ml and my first impression was that it wasn’t going to last very long and at almost $50 it was very expensive, I’m really not sure how much eye creams usually are though so maybe it’s comparative?? However I am due to fly long haul in the next month and it’s actually the perfect size for me to keep my eye area hydrated on the plane without taking up too much space!

The product itself has no scent so great for those of use who are sensitive to that, it also does not go on as ‘orange’ as it looks. It’s silky and glides onto your skin so you don’t get any tugging around the delicate eye area. I am extremely lucky that I don’t have huge bags or lots of wrinkles, just a few crows feet but I definitely found that this helped my make up glide on and last longer and made my eyes appear brighter.

It’s a really lovely product and I’d feel comfortable just using this on my eyes on a make up free day :-)

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.

My favourite part about this product was its light tint which slightly covered under eye darkness and overall made them a lot brighter. At first, when I saw the product I was concerned it would be too dark for me, but because of its light coverage, it was fine. the tint is very sheer, but I do not know how it would perform on darker skin, as I have light/fair skin. I did not notice a significant reduction in the puffiness around my eyes. I cannot say for certain that this eye cream reduces wrinkles, but it is very moisturising and leaves the skin looking and feeling hydrated, and did not emphasise the lines under the eyes that I have. To summarise, my favourite and the most noticeable part of this product is its brightening qualities, though I do think it is logical to assume that the moisture this product give could reduce wrinkles, as I did notice that this product is particularly hydrating. I noticed that makeup sits very nicely over this product for me. My main issue with this is the price, because of my limited student budget I likely could not repurchase this product.

I have been using this morning and night since I received the product (about 2 and a half weeks ago). I have noticed a slight reduction in puffy eyes and dark circles but not so much a reduction in wrinkles. It feels nice to apply and doesn't cause any stinging of the eye area or leave any greasiness etc. The colour does indeed act as a light concealer which is an added bonus. The pot is still over 3/4 full so will definitely last a while. I am hoping that with continued use this product will show more positive results and start to target my wrinkles also. I would recommend to a friend. Thank you for the opportunity to try this.

When you get to certain age wrinkles around your eyes put you on a path of trying to find that magic product that will remove them. Although Olay eyes didn’t turn back the clock 20 years I love this product. It has a creamy texture that is easy to apply & blends with my nature skin tone so I can use even if I don’t use concealer or foundation. Although I don’t have large dark circles, or a lot of puffiness under my eyes it did make a difference. After using for over three weeks every day the one day I didn’t I got comments about how tired I looked. My wrinkles do seems to be less and those that I still have are less noticeable. I think the product is great value for money. So will I continue to use, yes definitely, will I buy another jar, yes before this one runs out. Does it magically erase wrinkles, not quiet but it’s pretty close.

Not a fan, didn't notice any difference in dark circles, wrinkles or puffiness. The product is a medium weight cream that is a beige skin tone colour. It's silky to touch and glides easily, but it leaves a long lasting drying out feeling when applied to the skin. It almost feels like it's hardening rather than absorbing into the skin, but it does leave the skin feeling soft to the touch.

I found the colour to be off putting for an under eye cream. I don't want to apply to colour when hydrating it, though it blended in and appeared colourless on the skin. While it's meant to act as a colour-correct tool, I found that not to be the case for me and didn't notice any difference in the appearance.

The eye cream is stored in a plastic jar with a twist off lid, and easy to open. The ingredient list is quite long, and and not very appealing when reading through. I didn't see much info on the peptides and Vit B3 on the packaging as it states in the online description.

Overall, this product is targeted at my under eye needs (wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles) but it didn't do anything to address them. And I wasn't a fan of the product once applied.
