La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Eye Serum

I was pleasantly surprised by this product. It isn't something I would choose to purchase normally and the price is one I wouldn't usually think could be justified. Being in my mid 40s, puffy, tired eyes with fine lines goes with the territory. Add in allergies and some late nights and there are some definite under eye bags going on! I wasn't expecting this product would do much more than feel soothing under my eyes. But I was surprised to notice after using for around a week, that my eye area was looking less puffy and fine lines were maybe less noticeable. Unfortunately it hasn't helped with black circles but it doesn't claim to. I am not sure that it is a huge difference but it is enough that I noticed it which is great!

It is very nicely packaged and the packaging makes the product feel luxurious. The blue bottle is a nice touch. I did find the product felt very thin and runny. The dropper does help with applying such a thin product though. The product does stay where it's placed which is good too. I did find it felt sticky under my eye and dried feeling a bit sticky. It wasn't too bad but it was a little off putting. Applying a thinner layer seemed to help.

The size of the bottle seems very small for the price but I think it would actually last quite a long time as a small amount is used and it doesn't need to be applied very thickly. This would make it very good value for money.

I did notice my makeup (eg concealer under eye and foundation) was easier to apply when it was on, which was great. I was using it morning and night and still would expect the bottle should last quite a while.

Definitely a nice surprise for me and even though it seems expensive, I would consider getting another bottle once this one is finished.
