I have two young kids so I was excited to try this product in the hope it would rid me of my exhausted mum eye bags.
I liked how this cream came in a simple pump bottle which makes it much easier when you are rushing around in the morning. However, I found the amount of cream produced from one pump could have done about 4 sets of eyes!
For the first few days the only difference I noticed was that my eyes felt supple all day long, but I still looked like I hadn’t had any sleep in 5565859 years. By day 6 I started to notice that my eyes looked brighter and the bags were shrinking.
A major plus for this cream was that it does not have an over-pouring smell, and I liked the simple instructions printed on the inside of he bottle.
I have used a couple of la Roche-posay products prior to this review; and really enjoyed them! Their effaclear face wash is my holy grail so I was interested in seeing what a mainly ‘one brand’ routine would look like for me.
This product is part of their ‘ultra sensitive skin‘ line have no fragrance to them, and a nice ‘medicinal’ look to their packaging - think luxe laboratory/fancy spa styles. I like that they are both in a pump bottle, not sticking your fingers in to a whole jar is always quite nice!
Eye cream - 20ml. A little definitely goes a long way with this, think half of a pea sized dot between your two eyes. I used a little too much a couple of times and did notice when rubbing my eyes later in the day, that I could feel some product that was sitting on my skin had balled up with me rubbing. I have noticed that my under eye area is more ‘plump’ and not as bumpy after a week of applying every morning (and some evenings). I tap this in gently on my under eye area and under my eyebrows with my ring finger. No complaints and has not irritated my skin at all, I haven’t noticed any changes with wrinkles/crows feet as it hasn’t been long enough and I don’t really have too many of them either. I do have a few little ‘bumps’ or rough texture under my eyes usually and this has smoothed the skin beautifully.
This seemed to interact well with my La Roche-Posay face wash and hydrated my skin beautifully after cleansing. I will definitely consider purchasing this again when I run out
Tips: Less is more in this case!
