Olay Ultimate Eye Cream Review

When I first saw this, I was a bit alarmed at the colour, it is a nice shade of Trump, however, first impressions can be deceiving, and this Ultimate Eye cream has proved me wrong! Packaging wise, this is a nice sturdy glass jar, that looks great by the bedside, and the lid is shiny, smooth and contoured. OK, so the shade of the cream, I had visions of applying clown makeup, the colour is a strong peach, and looks very opaque, (I'm super pale so I freaked out a bit), this is where I was Wrong!. The colour for me, does not seem to transfer to the eye area as I thought it would, it melts into the skin, and is luxurious and lightweight in texture. No greasy after feel, and no smell that I could observe. I didn't notice a slight concealer effect though. I use this before my primer in the morning, it is a sooo nice to use, that I don't just use it for the eye area, this is quite the all-rounder of a product! Super hydrating for dry overly air conditioned office cheeks. I cannot say I noticed a difference on the first application, but I have been using this religiously ever since I received it, and will continue to do so, I can say, I will be repurchasing this one! Thanks BR, you have put another holy grail product on my list!

It's a small, cute bottle. Nothing special but still nice and modern looking.

The smell is inoffensive, barely noticeable. I think this is always a good thing. Heavy scents are such a turn off, especially since the eye area is so close to the nose.

It has a nice, silky consistency and rubs in easily. Only a small amount is needed, so I imagine the bottle will last quite a while despite its size.

Having only used it for less than a few weeks I can't speak for it's long-term results (yet), but I can vouch for it's short-term results. My undereye area is perpetually plagued by dark circles and I did find that this cream helped ease that some. I also have dry skin and so it can sometimes be difficult to find creams that moisturize them adequately, this cream also did a great job of that.

Overall I thinks it's a good eye cream, I would recommend it.

Dark circles have always been an issue I’m not sure if it’s true lack of sleep or if they were passed on as a gift from my loving mother.

This is the first eye cream I have come across that has colour to it which I think is a brilliant idea. I find when I have it on I definitely notice it makes my dark circles less noticeable but over all I’m not to sure how much it is improving them.

I would prefer it in a tube, maybe come with a spatula or something rather than just sticking your fingers straight into it.

I love the jar but I tend to think olay over package their products it’s a bit over kill for something your just going to throw away.

I will definitely be replacing this product and updating my review after a longer period of use

I have been super stoked using this eye cream, it has given me awesome results for the dark circles around my eyes. I love the texture of the product, smooth and delicate which helps it blend in nicely, also very easy to apply with just a slight hint of fragrance which is great for my skin.

The product comes in a small sized tub which is handy to carry around and is long lasting.

As someone who works ridiculously late nights and then gets up way too early, I thought my dark circles and bags would be the ultimate trial for this product. Bring it on!

The packaging is clean and simple, but oh so pretty with the silver/mirrored card backing the jar. The little pedestal it sits on helps give it that touch of elegance and luxury that we all want to experience when using quality products.

When I first opened the jar, I was a little skeptical about how the tinted colour would look around my eyes. I'm extremely fair-skinned with cool undertones, which made me think I would look like a clown once I applied, but it glided on and blended so flawlessly, I was amazed. The tint certainly does help reduce the dark circles while I'm wearing it, but has no visible lasting difference once my face is washed clean.

The cream goes on smoothly, and being fairly light, it dries quickly. It leaves the skin around the eyes feeling hydrated without the stickiness that some products leave behind, and in fact, the skin feels satiny with a smooth texture, which helps in applying eye makeup and making it last.

This is definitely a keeper for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy this once the trial product runs out. With the small amount needed, and the benefits I'm seeing out of this product, I think the price point of under fifty dollars is money well-spent.

I received this through the trial teams and I have to say I was pretty impressed! Not only does it apply really well (not greasy!), it has a slight tint so it provides light/barely there concealing. Which is great because under eyes are normally the part that need most concealing! I didn't notice a huge change in the appearance of my under eyes during the time I used this (2 weeks) but I feel like this is the kind of product which works on application opposed to being the type of product that works on improving appearance of eyes over time. I'm impressed anyway. When using as part of my makeup process - it fit in really well. I moisturised, applied the eye cream and because of the non-greasiness I was able to apply my foundation and proper concealer not long after. I'm a bit budget conscious when it comes to products so I'm not sure if I would buy this product the the price advertised but on the other hand this stuff would last for yonks so perhaps it's worth it! I'll leave that up to you to decide :)

I'm really impressed with this eye cream so far. It really does brighten the under eye area and a little goes a long way. It absorbs quickly and isn't greasy. I really can notice a difference after putting it on, it instantly makes my under eyes look more lifted, smoother and brighter. I'm not sure if it is helping with the under eye wrinkles but it's still a nice eye cream for the day time. It does colour correct a little bit but don't expect it to conceal everything as it is just a light cream. If I need full coverage I'll still use foundation and a concealer as well and this eye cream works well underneath. But if I'm in a hurry I have found that this eye cream is great for no make up days as it still makes my under eyes look a bit more awake and revived.

I needed a new eye cream and found this one half price so snapped it up. I’ve had great results from Olay products before so was expecting a lot. When I opened the jar I hadn’t even realised it’s tinted! The first time I’ve seen this in an eye product.

The packaging is huge for the jar and I don’t really like putting my fingers in but luckily I had a plastic wand from another brand I dipped in to the jar to control the amount I got. It’s a really nice cream, silky smooth, easy to apply and colour just melts away into your skin without being noticeable or too heavy. At the end of the day I can still feel it hydrating and yes my fine lines are a wee bit softer but it’s no different from any other eye cream really. I don’t have dark circles normally so can’t comment on that aspect.

One negative I found was that on some days the colour congealed a bit in my lines so perhaps my skin was more dry at the time.

I’m not sure if I’d get this again, I’ll probably be more likely to buy a tube version from Olay but it’s a nice hydrating cream I’ll definitely use until the end of the jar.

I am writing this review as a part of trial team so need to say I haven't used this product long enough to see if it really reduces wrinkles. However I can say it works great as concealer and is ideal to use before putting make up on. It definitely makes dark circles less visible and smooths fine lines. Comes in small, good looking jar but it'll last for a long time as few drops are enough for one use. Has nice texture and color and is easily absorbed. I had few little red spots around eyes when I just started to use this but kept applying and now have no reaction. Need to say it works good for puffiness so after sleepless night it is very helpful. It is a bit overpriced but I have used few eye creams before and so far this one works the best. If in long term it works for wrinkles too I'll definitely buy it again.

The packing was basic and gave clear directions on how to use. You knew what you were getting. The cream felt lovely rubbing in, soaked in quickly, wasn’t sticky and didn’t leave a residue. When I seen that it was brown I was curious to see if it would leave a colour trace so tried on a piece of tissue and it didn't. Only need a small amount that goes far so even though it’s only in 15ml it should last ages. I felt it helped with puffiness in the mornings and my skin definitely felt smoother but would need to use for Longer to judge effect on wrinkles. Reasonably priced for an eye cream I would buy again
