little white truths

I must have been using this product for close to six months now and I realised this morning that I'm yet to review it.

It's been one of those items that slotted into my routine very nicely and I haven't really noticed that I'm using it, which is normally a sign that a product is neither very good nor very bad - but in this case I think it's because it's been sitting there doing its job without fuss or fanfare.

Verdict

I like this product and I recommend it.

It's a rich, white cream that applies and spreads well. It has a very faint scent that reminds me of the ocean (perhaps that's the marine collagen), but it's not strong and I'm only aware of it if I hold the product up to my nose.

It's housed in a standard tube with a flip-cap that you squeeze the product through. One thing to note with the design is that more product squirts through the cap as you close it, so I only squeeze out enough for one eye and then the dose for my second eye will be dispensed as I close the cap.

I've been using this as my overnight cream for almost six months now, and it's slotted beautifully into that position. I use my heavier eye creams at night, so that should tell you something about how hydrating this cream is.

While I'm sure you could use it during the day if you wanted to, I have lighter eye products that I use in the morning so I've preferred to use this as my last step before bed.

What I like about this product is that it hydrates and nourishes my dry, 37yo eyes well, and it helps keep them feeling comfortable until the morning. It's not so rich that my skin can't absorb it and I haven't had any white bumps around my eyes when I've been using it, which sometimes happens to me if I'm using eye creams that are too heavy. So thankfully this one treads the line between being nourishing enough without being too much.

On the claims: yes this plumps the skin after use but I haven't noticed any impact on fine lines or crow's feet over time; no it hasn't made a visible difference to my dark circles; yes it improves tone and texture; yes it tightens and lifts the skin (at least temporarily) and also increases hydration; and no it hasn't done anything for my eye puff.

Overall I think this is a great little eye cream and I recommend it. Sure it hasn't performed backflips, but I bought mine for something like $25 AUD and it's lasting me forever, plus it keeps my dry skin feeling comfortable and not all eye creams can achieve that.

A good product.
