So this product has been on the market for a while now but, it wasn’t until me recent  success with the Garnier nutritionist serum that I decided that Garnier may be a good skincare brand for me.  I had high hopes for this one, given that “one sells every second seconds” and the positive reviews in magazine.

Again, I bought this for 9euro, when it was on offer in Tesco (I will never pay full price unless I have to :-)  ).  Here’s the pros and cons list:

Pros

  • Very soothing if your eyes are tired-this is mainly attributable to the metal roll-on ball

Cons

  • Quite a lot of product is dispensed from one ‘roll’ of the product over the eye area. This can be messy and also can impact your eye area massage, given that you won’t want to waste the product.
  • Takes quite a long time to dry (5-10 minutes pending how much product you apply)
  • Daily application result in a break-out of little bumps on the skin under my eye
  • Haven’t noticed much of a difference to the skin around my eyes since I started using it three weeks ago.
  • Not particularly moisturising

I was quite disappointed with this one, given it claims and sales figures, and wouldn’t buy it again. Have you had any success with this? What is your favourite eye product?
