Was pretty stoked when I was chosen to review this little product. I have been suffering from migraines lately that has caused me to walk around as a Halloween character with the hollow eyes.
The packaging was what I would expect of a French-based company – white with blue writing that still looks stylish although the setout was pretty straightforward. I was led to believe this little product targets individuals with sensitive and allergy-prone skin – so my skin ticks all those boxes
Being past my mid-forties I have noticed that the fine lines appearing and bought some eye creams – unfortunately, these made my eyes red and watery – probably with me rubbing my eyes continuously without noticing.
What is great about this formula is that it is free of preservatives such as lanolin, perfume, alcohol, colorant and parabens. I have now been using the product every morning and night and have had no irritation at all. I did however expected the texture to be thick, like other eye creams, but surprisingly this one is very light and spreads effortlessly.
To apply, I just follow the instructions printed inside the box (only saw that by accident). I just use my ring finger and gently dab the tiniest amount of product (it really goes a long way) over my eye contour and eyelid and apply a bit of pressure from the inside of my eye outwards, finishing off with added pressure over the entire eye. This way I am sure that I am getting the most out of the product. What helps is that the pump splurts out a tiny amount so you don’t end up with excess cream.
A week later and I am glad to report that the skin around my eyes looks and feels so nice and hydrated. I love the size especially because I have some upcoming traveling and this will make it a super travel-friendly and small enough to include as a carry-on
I had never tried any La Roche-Posay products before but had heard a lot about how good they were on BR. When I saw the invite for this trial I was over the moon and couldn't wait to try them out. Made in France oh la la!
The instructions are actually on the inside of the box, very simple to use and feels so refreshing on your eyes. It is a lovely light formula which doesn't leave any greasy feeling.
It doesn't cause any irritation or redness and makes my eye area look plump and healthy. I love the packaging, it holds 20ml of product, you simply turn the lid which opens and closes it, great for travel as it shuts securely. I like the pump, very hygienic and easy to get the perfect amount out. A little definitely goes a long way. It has no nasty ingredients which is amazing and exactly what you want when applying around your eyes. No noticable scent.
I have quite dry and sensitive skin so this product is perfect for me, I have been using both morning and night. I can't comment yet whether it helps reduces fine lines as it is too early to tell but I really think it helps with puffiness.
A lovely eye cream, totally recommend for people with sensitive and dry skin. A beautiful, luxurious brand.
