essano Collagen Boost Eye Cream Reviews

I received this in a Beauty Box. I am a fan of Essano’s products, but I have not tried their eye cream before, so I was interested to see how it would perform.

The eye cream comes in a square cardboard box branded with Essano’s regular colours of pink and black. It is enriched with rosehip oil and is 10g. On the box this cream claims to: “smooth fine lines, lift eyelids, and reduce dark circles.” It also states that this cream is suitable for “normal to dry skin types.” The cream itself comes in a cute dark brown glass jar with a black lid. The cream is a creamy colour, with a thick texture and a buttery scent.

I have been applying this twice a day since I started using it, in the morning and before bed. The cream is easy to apply with my finger, and it does not irritate my skin or eyes. This is very important to me when using an eye cream because I have very sensitive eyes which are easily irritated by creams and scents. This cream feels thick and rich. I do not need to use much when applying it. It soaks into the skin well and my eye area feels hydrated after using it. I do not suffer from dark circles, but I do have fine lines around my eyes. I have not noticed an eyelid lift since I started using this, but I think my fine lines are looking less noticeable.

Altogether I think this is a pretty good eye cream for dry and sensitive skin types.

I am amazed that only one other reviewer has mentioned the misleading packaging of this product! I was excited to try this eye cream as I have quite enjoyed some other Essano products. It was also super affordable. However, I was quite taken aback to find such little of the product inside the box. The box is a fairly standard size in comparison to other eye creams, but upon opening I noticed a whole third of the inside space taken up by a cardboard sleeve. Annoying but moving on. When I pulled off the sleeve, I was even more surprised to find the world's tiniest jar. Misleading! And I seriously laughed out loud to open the tiny, tiny jar to find that it was half empty!!! I could literally see the bottom of the jar! The cream itself was fine, nice and light but I didn't notice any difference to my fine lines. I won't be using any Essano products in future.

I would buy this product everytime my eye cream runs out, but it is so difficult to find it on the shelves. Guess its popular then.....I would use it if I can find it, otherwise I just get another Essano product. It is a lovely product, does exactly what it said it would do, smooth those fine crows feet out and leave the eye smooth afterwards. I have used it at night and in the morning. Just a pity there is not a lot inside the tub, compare to other eye cream products.

I didn’t see any difference using this. The lines around my eyes weren’t really refined at all. Didn’t irritate my eyes, and was really moisturising, but wasn’t what i was looking for. I wanted something to reduce or refine my lines.
