Moisturises, tightens, at a great price!
I have tried pretty much every eye skin product available in the department and specialty store, including Clinique and Chanel. I found that, in addition to costing an arm and a leg, each of the creams either did not live up to its claims, and/or caused an allergic reaction. Even though my experiences had left me a sceptic, when I read an article in a fashion magazine extalling the virtues of Olay Eye Lifting Serum, I decided to give this grocery store brand a try in hopes of replacing the Vaseline I had been forced to use. I realize no cream/serum can reverse, or even stop the progress of time. However, Olay Eye Lifting Serum has fulfilled my need for a gentle yet highly moisturising product that can be worn under make-up foundation.
PROS:
1) the product does NOT cause an allergic reaction; (with most other products my skin would become puffy and/or eyes would water);
2) absorbs well and does not travel into my cheeks and/or eyes;
3) is highly moisturising (YEY!!!) without being shiny and greasy;
4) reacts well with my make-up foundation/concealer and does not induce creasing;
5) can be applied on both upper and lower eye lids (with most other products the application is limited to lower eyelids only);
6) can be used morning AND night (I hate to fuss with too many products, especially when I travel);
7) the pump application ensures bacteria will not be transfered from your eye to the product and vice versa;
8) little goes a long way: half a squirt of pump is enough to cover the upper and lower lids of both eyes! The .5 oz size lasts a couple of months with twice a day use, making the price affordable!
9) I do not have pronouced wrinkles (yet), but I can tell you that the skin around my eyes is VISIBLY tighter.
CONS:
1) it does not make my skin look the way it did when I was twenty, but then I did not expect it to... ;o)
2) my dark circles are only minimal; when they intensify, it has more to do with genetics, dehydration and poor diet. No cream can combat that. Most eye creams that claim to diminish dark circles are actually TINTED (like a concealer, but less so). They cover the dark circle, they do not make it go away...
Overall, I'm happy with the product (moisturises and tightens without causing allergies). Beats Vaseline, as well as the far more expensive products I used to use! I hope it works for you, too!
Beyond Expectations
The eye area is sensitive, but having used Olay products for years, I had every confidence that their serum would be safe and effective. It proved to be both safe and extremely effective, producing pleasing results in under three weeks. And the improvement continues.
