essano Visible Repair Eye Cream

The first thing I noticed was that when you use a full pump it's a huge amount of product, much more than you need to use for your eyes. So when I half pressed the pump I got a more reasonable amount. It was nice and light, soaked in nicely and did not make my make up run. It smelt pleasant, however I did not notice any reduction in my wrinkles, so not a miracle product but adequate for a bit of hyration

As expected, essano packaging is clear about it's promises and easy to read. Vegan friendly, cruelty free and Made In New Zealand. Therefore this product understands the NZ environment and the needs of women 50+. The bottle looks lovely on my dresser and is a good size. The scent is subtle but very nice, the cream itself is medium thickness, creamy - not at all gritty. It goes on smoothly and a little goes a long way. It was very kind to the delicate skin around my eyes and I believe the skin was a tad brighter and softer. It is hard to tell yet whether it has minimized any lines or crow's feet, but it was very soothing to use. In the summer, I think it would be lovely to keep in the fridge to cool down hot skin after being in the sun.

I have only tried using eye creams occasionally over my long lifetime - so many seem thick and greasy , difficult to apply and not producing much noticeable effect.

Thus I am most agreeably surprised to find that this Visible Repair version is a light liquid, easy to apply and the dispenser makes it very simple to pump out just the very tiny amount needed.

For my first try I only targeted one eye - being somewhat sceptical about getting any change in my aged eye bags. No, the eye bag didn't appear changed but the area DID look that bit brighter. SO I will continue to persist (both eyes!) - acknowledging the fact that really old skin is likely to need more than the suggested four weeks to show any more drastic improvement

I have only been using this for two weeks, the time to show results is 4 weeks so its a bit early to tell if it does all it says it does. I do think it is helping a little with my dark circles already. It feels nice to apply and is absorbed into the skin well. The bottle dispenser can be generous with the amount that comes out, so I usually be careful with this. I look forward to continuing using this to see the benefits it delivers at the end of the 4 weeks.

I was pleasantly surprised to open the small pump bottle to find a more subtle fragrance for the eye cream, than that of the elixir. I found that a very small pump, probably half a pump is all that is required for both eyes. The cream is light and my mature skin absorbed it well, it left my skin feeling smooth and was nice to use in conjunction with other products in this range.

I don’t suffer from bags or dark circles around the eye area so cannot comment on the effectiveness of the product in this area. I believe it made my skin smooth and brighter in the two weeks I have used it. As mature women we have to be realistic about creams and lotions and not set the bar too high. Any visible improvement is a bonus I feel.

Essano has created a great affordable, and natural range for mature skin, the products are easy to use and feel great on your skin, with the added bonus of being New Zealand made. I would buy this range and continue to use it.

Essano are certainly doing great with their new products lately. I'm impressed with the ones I've tried and I was very keen to try the eye cream.

It comes in the same gorgeous gold packaging as the other visible repair products, and is lovely. Inside the box, the bottle is a 15 ml bottle with the same gold labelling. It has a lid with a pump top underneath.

The product is creamy and white and absorbs easily. I have been applying it and then tapping it around my eyes to help it absorb. It is really lovely and I feel like it has reduced the puffiness and made my eye area smoother. At my age the eye area is a concern and I really feel like this product has helped. I don't have dark circles so I can't speak for that, but it really has helped with puffiness and fine lines. The product doesn't really have much scent.

I recommend giving it a try. It appears to be around $40 which may not suit people for a 15ml bottle, but it is good and you only need to use a small amount.

The Essano Visible Effects Eye Cream is an anti-aging moisturiser made to brighten, firm, and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area. There are some great ingredients in this product like Lapagyl, Eyeseryl and Shaddownyl all natural ingredients that have been clinically proven to help reduce fine lines and wrinkle depth and improve dark circles within 4 weeks. It’s also completely free of any parabens, sulfates and phthalates and importantly has not been tested on animals. I like that the eye cream specifically targets mature aged women. The cream comes in a dark brown glass bottle which is great for protection against light. It has a pump action top which makes it easy to administer the right amount in a hygienic way. It is lightly scented and not over powering. Caring for the delicate skin under my eyes is an ongoing task. I am always on the lookout for anti ageing eye creams that will help to keep crows feet, fine lines, and wrinkles at bay as well as addressing puffiness. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture. It feels similar to my face cream, while still being lightweight enough for my skin to soak up the hydration and give a firmer, more plumped appearance. After cleansing morning and night I take a small amount of eye cream, warm it up between my two ring fingers, and then gently pat the formula onto my skin around my entire orbital bone. A little of this eye cream goes a long way, only the tiniest bit is enough to nourish and moisturise the entire eye area. It is creamy but very lightweight so it absorbs quickly without leaving any residue behind. My skin felt instantly more hydrated, softer and more supple. The puffiness was definitely reduced and my under eye area looked brighter and more refreshed. I liked that it quickly absorbed thus making it an ideal primer to apply before makeup, especially under eye concealer. As regards diminishing fine lines and wrinkles there wasn’t a huge difference but two weeks is really too soon to judge. I did notice however that my hydrated skin seemed to make the wrinkles and lines much less apparent. I would definitely recommend this product to those who are looking to treat their dry under eye areas, and especially if you get puffy eyes easily.

I have been using this product along with the Night Cream for around 2 weeks, I really don't think I have given it enough time for it to "do it's thing" properly to be honest.

I again like the packaging of this product and the colour scheme, makes it look more expensive. The bottle is a good size, I love that it's a pump as you can just pump the small amount needed onto your ring finger to apply.

It doesn't really have much of a smell, but it applies nicely (I dot around eyes and tap) and absorbs really well, doesn't leave any residue and I find I am good to apply makeup straight after using this so that's a plus!

I have noticed a small improvement to the lines around my eyes depth wise, but not a huge improvement and nothing on the dark circles as yet. I am definitely going to continue use of this however and expect that I will see more improvement over time.

Love Essano and will likely purchase more of this product.

Nice looking packaging Only need a small amount Subtle smell Can't say i noticed if the fine lines reduced but i felt the hollow under my eyes reduced. I will continue using it. The texture was good and absorbed well and didnt leave greasy residual like some products do. I would recommend to a mate

I liked this eye cream and found it checked most of the boxes!

The packaging is functional and easy to navigate.

The cream itself is very light and refreshing. It absorbs with no tacky or greasy residue, and sits nicely under eye makeup such as eyeshadow and concealer.

It brightens the under eye and does have an instantly firming action. Whether that actively reduces puffiness I'm not sure, but it feels like it does, and that's half the battle I reckon.

I experienced no sensitivity.

I think my wrinkles / crows feet do look better but I'd say this is more of an overall booster for the eye area, rather than super targeted, extreme results.

It was good, it just wasn't outstanding , but that could change with more time. I will update if necessary.
