It actually brightens!

I was a little hesitant to try this eye cream. Whenever I see 'brightening' I automatically go through the ingredients list. It contains Mica, which as a daily contact lens wearer immediately puts me off. But, I needn't have worried. The amount of Mica in the formula is so minimal I had no irritation. Conveniently I was battling a headcold when I first tried this eye cream and WOW what a difference it made to how my under eyes looked. So much brighter! I really just loved the yellow cream, so fun, but obviously the vitamin c had something to do with the colour. The eye cream comes in a handy little tube (no double dipping in a pot!) and the perfect size to pop in your makeup bag. After moisturising, I used less than a pea sized amount and pressed my index fingers together (to evenly disperse) and then applied around my under eye area. I'm not quite coordinated enough to do the tappytap but found lightly pressing around the area worked just a well. I didn't notice any improvements to my fine lines, but there was a definite brightness around my eye area. Which if you're feeling run down or just had a few too many late nights, it's worth giving it try!

Garnier Vitamin C Eye Cream 15ml

I loved this eye cream, the applicator on the tube makes it so easy to apply so you use the correct amount and don't over ply , the fragrance is not too overpowering. I noticed a difference after a couple of weeks, it really helped with the fine lines under my eyes and dark circles.

Garnier products are always reasonably priced and great you can get them at the Supermarket.

Tips: Store in the fridge during hot months for extra cooling effects.

Good everyday eye cream

I found this eye cream was fairly good. It certainly moisturised my eye area but I didn't really notice much of a difference in the appearance of my dark circles or fine lines. Perhaps mine are a bit too far gone! I might need to use it for a longer period to see greater results. Nevertheless, I enjoyed using the cream to nurture the delicate skin around my eyes. The formula is thick and creamy and comes out easily from the tube. There is a decent amount in the tube which I think is good value, and I like the fact you don't have to use your fingers to dip into a pot.

Tips: Don't put too much on - you'll end up with a collection in the corner of your eyes.

An eye cream that doesn't sting!

As with most Garnier products, the packaging wasn't anything special - a good box to stop it getting squished and a tube. It was slightly alarming when I gave it a squeeze to see the colour of the product - a kind of orangey-yellow. Not horrible, just not expected! It doesn't really have a smell and is a nice fine cream consistency (not too think, but not so thin that it runs everywhere), and it rubs in easily - well without needing to be rubbed in. It doesn't have any sticky residue/after feel which is nice. Has it reduced my bags and dark circles? Maybe a bit, but they were pretty bad to start with so it always faced uam up hill battle. But the best thing is it doesn't sting your eyes, not even a little bit. And on that basis alone (seeing its about the only one that doesn't sting my eyes) I'll keep using it.

Tips: Don't squeeze too much out - a little goes a long way

Bit confusing

When I received this product to trial I was very excited, as I've had great experiences with Garnier eye products before.

However, this one had me confused. Was it eye cream? Or was it makeup?

Claims on the box like 'in one week get brighter, well-rested eyes' suggested it was eye cream (plus the fact they called it eye cream!). But lines like 'reduce signs of fatigue... including appearance of dark circles', 'brightening pigments' and the yellow colour made me think it was makeup. The instructions told you how to apply it to the eye area, but not when, so I dithered for a while before deciding it was an anytime thing.

In terms of using it, it was easy to apply and didn't show up yellow on my skin. It made a small difference to the look of my under eye area - not to the extent of looking like makeup, but enough to make me look less tired. It also felt nice and cooling on my skin.

I like the packaging. It's easy to open the screw cap and the slanted top makes it easy to get the correct amount on your finger. There is something very attractive about the long, slim packaging - even if it does tend to fall over on the shelf!

At this stage I'm still dubious about this not-quite-makeup eye cream, but as I try to reduce my amount of daily makeup for the sake of my skin, this might turn out to be exactly what I need...

Tips: Like most eye cream, a little goes a long way.

Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream

As this cream as a yellow colour I found that it looked quite yellowy after application and for sime reason made my dark circles more accentuated,. Purely for this reason I will probably not buy agaun but it did leave the eye area feeling and looking hydrated. Also worked well under foundation and concealer as it absorbes well

Packed Bags!

After 3 weeks, my eye bags officially packed themselves and went elsewhere, including that raccoon look...which I attribute to being a toddler Mum. Super easy application, no need to use your fingers, hygienic! It glides on smoothly, absorbs quickly and dries without residue. I love the bright orange colour! My eye area feels firmer and looks brighter, I will definitely keep this product in my beauty draw!

Tips: You do not need alot of product. A little does go along way, apply morning and night after cleansing, toning and moisturizing x

As someone who dark circles did it help?

Honestly not really. Did I like the smell and texture of the product yes but unfortunately for me and my skin it didn't make much of a difference. This is one I won't be adding into my daily routine.

My favourite part was the application and the top of the cream. Loved this feature and hope to see it on more products as it made using it simple.

Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream

This tube of eye cream claims to revive the look of tired eyes, improve the look of under eye dark circles and brighten skin around the eyes. Dispensed from quite a long tube, the vivid yellow colour is a bit surprising, but doesn't stay yellow once applied. It does seem to give the skin around my eyes a bit of a lift and makes my wrinkles a bit more plumped out. I really like what Garnier is doing with skincare. I would probably repurchase.Thanks Beauty Review for the opportunity to trial and review.

Good eye cream

This eye cream feels nice it applies creamy with a yellow tone to it. It sits well under makeup and the applicator is really nice to apply a good amount of product. I unfortunately didn’t see much difference in my dark circles or fine lines, although it might with extended use
