Olay Ultimate Eye Cream Review

I like that this eye cream is quite hydrating without being too heavy for my undereye area. Even though that tint of colour is not particularly noticeable, the product is overall effective. My dark circles have faded noticeably however it has not reduced any puffiness for me. I think more long-term use may help?

The texture is very luxurious and soaks into my skin well. But given the price tag, I feel like there are equally good alternatives in the market.

When I first received this product I was shocked by the colour and was worried it would make my undereyes orange due to my pale skin tone. The product looked like a jar of concealer but I was intrigued how they said it would work with most skin tones.

The packaging the jar comes in feels cheap and it quite fragile whereas the jar the product is in is quite nice and feels a bit more high end. At first it feel like a small container for the price but a little goes a very long way!

It’s easy enough to get the product out and easy enough to apply. The product goes on smoothly and easily absorbed - I didn’t notice a massive difference to my undereye circles but my gosh it left them feeling so smooth and hydrated!

In love how it leaves my eyes feeling and after using it twice a day for over a week, I have noticed a decreased in the darkness underneath my eyes. This product really surprised me and has now replaced my current eye cream! I highly recommend trying this product!

It isn’t hard to see why I use eye creams. I work 10 hours a day and a lot of it is at a computer. So when this little cream turned up I was excited to try it out. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful the packaging is. Simple and classy. The cream doesn’t have a strong scent and was easily absorbed into my skin. The texture is like silk and not too heavy. I noticed a difference in the brightness of the skin within 7 days and then the reduction fine lines after 10 days. I was very impressed. Because I already use Olay, the eye cream slotted into my skincare regime nicely. I feel like it would slot into any skincare regime though it was just that nice!

Sigh. It was with high hopes i thought this eye cream would make me 10 years younger and remove my bags and dark circles and lines.. but it wasnt to be. The initial packaging was ridiculous and not necessary. The product itself was creamy and smelled nice and absorbed pretty easily. I didnt feel magically different or notice any change over the 3 weeks in use I took before / during and after photos and no change.. not even a slight decrease in puffiness.

I wouldnt buy this again. I wont even continue to use it.

I'd start off by saying that this is definitely no way a concealer. It does appear to have colour in the container but when you start applying it under your eyes, there is barely any coverage so I wouldn't be put off if you have darker or lighter skin as this basically blends into nothing. However in saying that I really really do like this! It was surprising because I didn't expect it to do so well for my dark circles. I have the worst dark circles and after using it for a week I've definitely seen some slight improvements so I can only imagine that it'll keep improving my dark under eyes. There isn't any scent to it which is nice and the formula itself is super light and doesn't feel too heavy seeing as it is a cream. Feels somewhat like a moisturiser in a way and blends just as well. The only issue I had with this is that if you don't let it dry and set properly before applying other products it will look incredibly patchy. The products you apply on top just won't adhere to where you've applied the eye cream which is slightly annoying. Other than that, this is amazing especially for the results!

I was looking for a new eye cream so I was excited to have been selected for this Trial Team.

This product claims to instantaneously brighten and colour-correct the eye area, while providing anti-wrinkle and de-puffing effects.

It is a peachy gel-cream formula that spreads easily and feels cooling on the skin. It leaves a smooth, matte, silicone-y finish that sits well under makeup.

I did not notice any colour-correcting effect at all, the cream was completely invisible after it was all absorbed. There is no shimmer in this formula.

It did not reduce my dark circles, though I have pretty bad hayfever and rub my eyes a lot. I also did not find it hydrating enough. I don't really have wrinkles around my eyes so can't say much about that. I did find the cooling sensation quite refreshing so that might help with reducing puffiness.

Overall, this eye cream would be good for a bit of light moisture and for prepping the eye area before makeup. I don't think it's worth the $48.99 price tag and would not purchase it myself.

An eye cream is something that I’ve been looking at for a while and have been advised by a skin care specialist to use. There are so many out there so I was a little overwhelmed and hadn’t yet picked one but then I was luckily given the opportunity to trial the Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream.

The packaging is really beautiful, however there is a lot of plastic, which I’m not loving at the moment, I’d love to see leaders in the beauty industry take note of this and start to look at other ways to display their products!

The outer packaging is very informative with all of the usual ingredients, steps of use and the benefits of using the product. You can see the small tub through the packaging and at first glance I was slightly worried about the colour. The information that I had read about the eye cream said that it had inner technology to match any skin tone, it just didn’t look that way and also didn’t state that anywhere on the outer packaging which would have made me too cautious to buy if I’d seen it in a shop. It did say ‘colour correcting technology’

The pot of product is very small, only 15ml and my first impression was that it wasn’t going to last very long and at almost $50 it was very expensive, I’m really not sure how much eye creams usually are though so maybe it’s comparative?? However I am due to fly long haul in the next month and it’s actually the perfect size for me to keep my eye area hydrated on the plane without taking up too much space!

The product itself has no scent so great for those of use who are sensitive to that, it also does not go on as ‘orange’ as it looks. It’s silky and glides onto your skin so you don’t get any tugging around the delicate eye area. I am extremely lucky that I don’t have huge bags or lots of wrinkles, just a few crows feet but I definitely found that this helped my make up glide on and last longer and made my eyes appear brighter.

It’s a really lovely product and I’d feel comfortable just using this on my eyes on a make up free day :-)

My favourite part about this product was its light tint which slightly covered under eye darkness and overall made them a lot brighter. At first, when I saw the product I was concerned it would be too dark for me, but because of its light coverage, it was fine. the tint is very sheer, but I do not know how it would perform on darker skin, as I have light/fair skin. I did not notice a significant reduction in the puffiness around my eyes. I cannot say for certain that this eye cream reduces wrinkles, but it is very moisturising and leaves the skin looking and feeling hydrated, and did not emphasise the lines under the eyes that I have. To summarise, my favourite and the most noticeable part of this product is its brightening qualities, though I do think it is logical to assume that the moisture this product give could reduce wrinkles, as I did notice that this product is particularly hydrating. I noticed that makeup sits very nicely over this product for me. My main issue with this is the price, because of my limited student budget I likely could not repurchase this product.

This is the silkiest, most delicious feeling eye cream I have ever used. After using this I definitely noticed that my eye area was looking much smoother and brighter. Though honestly, with how lovely it feels I'd still keep using it even if it did very little!

I was a bit concerned with how small it was but you really don't need much so the pot should last quite a while. I'd say you because of this it is great value for money when compared to other eye creams available out there.

I love that it has a slight tinge to it so it can be used as a bit of a concealer - I don't normally use concealer 'cause I'm lazy!!

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone!

Won this Olay eye cream a couple of Vaults ago and it's taken me a long time to make my mind up. First of all, this is about $50 when full price, which I consider a lot for a drugstore type product - it is Olay after all, not a high end product. I really think it should be at least half the price. Did I like it? Overall yes, despite my grumbling. It's got a lovely silk texture and rubs in very easily so you don't need much. I ended up using it as a sort of BB cream and putting it all over my face. It seems to give my face a more healthy hue, but you can still see the various imperfections, lines, and whatnot that we all try to cover with mirale creams and potions! For that reason I don't think it's their 'ultimate' cream, but it's nice.
