Antipodes Manuka Honey Skin-Brightening Eye Cream

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.
