L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Eye Serum

I have noticed winter making my under-eyes look a little darker and the rest of my eye area more sallow lately. (Yes I'm blaming winter and not my age or love of late nights!)

The applicator is weird. Three metal balls that rotate, cooling and massaging the eye contours.

I found this a great 'wake up' product, it seems to have that instant effect of tightening and refreshing the skin.

Over the weeks I've been using my skin looks more plump and less wrinkly. - I'm really impressed.

I love the lilac branding of this Revitalift range, it's so cute!

The glass bottle is super classy, it doesn't feel cheap or thin. The applicator has 3 metal balls that roll and spin freely. It's sort of like a back massager, just mini sized!

I couldn't detect a scent or fragrance.

I enjoyed the process of applying this, it is relaxing in the evening and invigorating at night.

Do I look 5 years younger in 2 weeks? Hmm, no, but the potential is there. My fine lines and deeper lines look better and the whole area looks brighter.

I will continue use and will likely repurchase as it does reduce dark circles and firm the skin!

This eye serum contains 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid and 1% pure caffeine that is used to target dark circles. I have been using it daily as part of my morning routine and I really like it, especially the roller, it has a cooling effect and it makes my eyes less puffy and also works as a massager for me. The serum texture is lightweight and not oily and absorbs quickly as I massage it under my eyes. I haven't noticed any big difference in minimizing fine lines as I don't have that many, but looking at the ingredients I think it will help prevent fine lines. Overall, it is a great eye product!

I’ve used several serums now but I like this one the most by far. What I like most about it is that it’s not sticky. It’s quite runny (like water) and is absorbed very quickly which I liked. It seems to help create a good base for my makeup. I’m not sure about the applicator which has 3 little ball bearings to spread the product. I didn’t use as much as suggested as it was just too much for my skin. Will I continue using it? Absolutely - I like the results and it’s a great price.

Jumping straight in, I have been using this serum day and night for a number of weeks before posting this review. Before starting the trial I was developing crows feet, had existing under eye wrinkles (where concealer would get creased into), slightly drooping eyelids, and dark purple circles at the corners and under eye. Consistency - Goes on smooth and absorbs well, can become sticky. I prefer to leave it on to absorb rather than use my fingers as I want the full effect. If you don’t like a slightly sticky feeling then definitely use your fingers to help it absorb faster. Application - The product comes with a 3-ball wand for a little eye roller massage. The cooling feeling is so nice and the wand makes it so easy to get right into the creases and folds. I also love that I don’t have to use my fingers as some of the product would naturally come off on them. Fragrance - I didn’t really notice any fragrance. Coverage - One wand application is actually more than enough for both eyes, top and bottom. I try to sort of shake it back into the bottle as I’d love for this product to last ages and ages. And again, the product can become slightly sticky, so less IS more. Longevity - I have been using twice a day for weeks and have used barely anything. I can tell this product is going to last months and months, if not until the end of the year, maybe even into the new one! Price - Depending where you shop, you can get this product for $30-$45. Even at $45, I think it’s worth it. Similar serums can cost the same, won’t last as long, and don’t provide the same results. So yup, definitely worth every cent. Results - Eyelids: firmer. Crows feet: gone again. Under-eye wrinkles: smaller, firmer, plumper skin. Dark corners: lighter. The only thing I’ve not noticed any change in is the purple circles under my eyes. I’ve said it before, nothing helps these. I’m 100% certain this is hereditary as my whole family has got them, and most likely only expensive surgery will help, sigh. At least my concealer no longer creases under my eyes! I would recommend this product highly.

I use this every day as part of my skin care routine. It feels amazing on my skin, it's gentle and I notice a difference after using it. My skin under my eyes felt refreshed, tighter and definitely brighter.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Eye Serum. I have been using this everyday since I received it for trial.

The L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Eye Serum comes in a shiny purple cardboard box. On the front of the box it claims that it “Replumps Eye Wrinkles”; “Visibly Reduces Dark Circles”. It also suggests that users will have “younger looking eyes in 2 weeks”. It is fragrance free and contains 2.5% hyaluronic acid + caffeine. On the front of the box, and on the side, are pictured the bottle and the unique wand design used to apply the product. The other side of the box has instructions on how to apply the product.

The serum itself comes in a 20ml purple glass bottle. The product is clear. You apply it by unscrewing the silver lid, to which is attached the “triple roller cooling massager” wand. I love the wand on this serum. It is very easy to use, and is very comfortable and soothing when massaged around the contours of the eye. The wand actually picks up a lot of product in the three ball-bearings, so I try to scrape some back off into the bottle before using it, otherwise I get too much serum around my eyes.

I have been using this product for about 2 weeks. I have not noticed a huge difference in the levels of wrinkles around my eyes, but it is not currently a huge area of concern for me. I did notice that the combination of the cooling metal massager wand, and the caffeine, did sooth my under-eye area and make it much less puffy. A good massage in the area with the wand helped me look and feel more awake in the morning. I also have sensitive skin and eyes, and the product has not irritated them.

Altogether I have enjoyed trialling this product. I think the wand alone is worth the price of the serum as it is just so nice to use around the eye area. I think my eye area looks better for having used this serum, and I plan on continuing to use it once the trail is over.

I am the not so proud owner of very deep set eyes which make me look tired on a good day. Add four young kids and early morning / late evening training and you can imagine that my eyes carry more bags than Air New Zealand ! I was exceptionally excited to be chosen for this trial team and in particular was keen to check out the nifty looking wand to deliver the goodies inside. And it did NOT disappoint! In fact, it far exceeded my expectations. Firstly, I love love love the ingenious little wand with its three ball bearings. As you roll them around your eye socket, it feels deliciously cool and decadent and I could actually see a notable deduction in puffiness around my eyes in the morning. I also really appreciate that I didn’t need to use my fingers at all and that the wand delivers the right amount of serum so none is wasted. The serum is non fragranced which is a big plus for me in most skin care but especially around the eye. It feels very light and cool on the skin- a little tacky to start with as it settles but dries quickly and is unnoticeable under make up. The serum packs a punch with both hyaluronic acid and pure caffeine which work to fight fine lines. As mentioned I absolutely noticed a decrease in puffiness but also noticed the skin around my eyes looking firmer and brighter in tone. Sadly I did not notice a reduction in dark under eye skin but will continue to use the serum and see if prolonged use with make a difference.

I'm a big fan of the regular L'Oreal Hyaluronic Acid serum so I was really excited to try the specialised eye serum in the same range (with added caffeine). Like the regular Hyaluronic Acid serum, this one is super-hydrating and non-greasy. Also like the regular HA serum, it gives you visible results within a week or so. (Although when I say 'visible', it's probably just noticeable because I'm looking carefully - it's not cosmetic surgery after all). I loved the applicator, it made it so easy to massage the product into the skin around the eyes, and it did reduce the crepeyness under my eyes. Unfortunately it did zero for the dark circles but that could be because it's more hyper-pigmentation (probably hereditary) than dark circles due to tiredness etc. A little bit disappointed in that, but very happy with the plumpness and reduction in the very fine lines around my eyes (doesn't seem to have made a difference to the deeper lines but I'm not expecting miracles there!). A little goes a long way and I can see this bottle lasting for a couple of months with twice-daily use, so good value for money. It took a couple of days to get the application routine down without checking the instructions (massage small circles from inner eye to temple x4, swipe applicator over lids and then dot pressure points around the eyes (I'm assuming this is for drainage issues for under-eye bags?). Goes on easily under makeup too, which is a bonus (gotta cover those dark circles!). No obvious scent, which is great, and it's quite a pleasing consistency overall - not too thick but not too runny. Kind of like a very light gel. I've only been using it for 2 weeks so I'm keen to see what kind of results I get after finishing the bottle - I'm guessing quite a big improvement in elasticity and fine lines (and if it somehow also manages to lighten up those dark circles I'll be a fan for life!). Definitely a product worth trying. (FYI: I've tried several other HA serums since the L'Oreal one and none do the job quite like theirs does, so clearly they are at the forefront of this kind of research).
