Antipodes Manuka Honey Skin-Brightening Eye Cream

This is described as ‘brightening’ I would say it brightens when you first apply it but once it dries it isn’t noticeable. It is very thick and does really need to be patted into the skin so it’s absorbed . You need the tiniest bit because it spreads a lot further than you think it will. It has a subtle vanilla scent which dissipates once applied. This has to be one of the most hydrating eye creams I’ve tried and for that reason I will definitely purchase it again.

This isn't my favourite Antipodes product, but it's still nice to use and it is a positive addition to the skin care routine.

Its really light, really soothing and really lovely to use. I found it so hydrating around the eye area, especially in the evening after these long summer days.

I didn't enjoy the fragrance. I find fragrance eye care a bit weird.

I received this in the Christmas Beauty box, and I will definitely look to try more Antipodes products.

Amongst my BBBE treasures was this little gem - Antipodes Manuka Honey Skin-Brightening Eye Cream.

I love the boxed packaging which show cases NZ Native landscape. The beautiful design continues on to the glass jar. The glass jar has a screw top lid and when opened, you cannot escape the light fragrance of manuka honey. You could almost eat it. There is a lot of information on the box including a huge list on ingredients.

Application is simple by lightly patting the smallest amount of Antipodes Manuka Honey Skin-Brightening Eye Cream on to your skin under and around your eyes.

This absorbs quickly and keeps the eye area hydrated. It is on the pricier side but a little really does go a long way.

Received in my BBBE box Xmas 22? An NZ brand that is cruelty free. I have tried other items from their range but never an eye cream, was excited to use this.

Cute 30ml glass potties. Yellow tinted cream. Smells of Manuka honey, comforting scent. Thick cream consistency, you don't need to apply much!

Instantly brightens eye area. Under eye skin also looks smoother and moisturised. It's a real treat every time I use this. Very happy with this product. Will take some time to finish this up, but would strongly consider repurchasing.

I am always looking for the ideal eye cream for myself, so far this one is pretty close. It comes in a cute 30ml glass tub with screw top lid, the cream is a beige coloured medium thick consistency. Hardly any smell (honey) and sinks into skin very quickly. Does not irritate my eyes at all, and my eyes are quite sensitive and prone to itching and watering. Dark circles are slightly diminished and my eyes seem brighter. It's a New Zealand made product and contains some lovely natural ingredients. Would recommend.

The only eye cream I have found so far that I can use. Every other one I have tried irritates my eyes. This one doesn’t! And it smells great as well!

I am a big fan of NZ made products, and have been wanting to try a product from Antipodes for a while, but I normally just buy cheaper supermarket beauty products, so it has taken me a while to finally try an Antipodes product. I chose the skin brightening eye cream because I felt that the skin under my eyes could do with some love, and I prefer glass tubs with cream over plastic containers. The cream has a slightly yellow tinge to it rather than being white, which is not particularly attractive, but also not off putting. The smell is also neither nice, nor unpleasant, and the cream is easily absorbed by the skin. I feel like the cream is nice and hydrating, but I have not noticed any brightening. Overall, to me this feels just like a pretty average eye cream, and I would have expected something more from Antipodes, especially given the price. There is nothing wrong with the cream, but for me it’s just nothing special and I will go back to a regular supermarket product.

Another good eye cream from Antipodes, smells like honey although I don’t really think eye creams need added fragrance but it’s light and non-irritating for me nonetheless. I don’t really notice much of a brightening effect when using this but it does make my eyes feel soothed and hydrated. I also have the Antipodes Kiwi Seed Gold eye cream which I prefer to this as it has a slight colour correcting effect and doesn’t have added fragrance, but overall I really like this eye cream too.

So I love Antipodes - from the packaging, to the pots and droppers, to the product. I was so excited to get this product (Christmas BBBE) to try.

Well, it come sin the usual cute box with a cute 30ml pot inside. the product is a moderately creamy cream. All the things I love so far, BUT, the smell. Oh dear. I don't know what it is but it is strong and bordering on unpleasant. That is a shame because I really like the effect of the product so far - smooth and less puffy under-eyes, that look and feel more hydrated and smooth.

I am going to persevere if I can because I think it's great for my skin, but it isn't that nice and the smell lingers. I'm not sure that I can recommend it, but definitely would if the scent was different.
