As part of the My Garnier Community I
was lucky enough to have the opportunity to test the Vitamin C* Brightening Eye
Cream and wish to share my honest review.
I love the tube as it
is compact to take with you when travelling. The slanted applicator allows you
to dispense product directly to your under eye area, which I much prefer over a
jar as it maintains hygiene. There is an abundance of product in the tube, so
you get good value for money.
The formula absorbs
easily onto skin. It is not a thin water consistency nor is too rich and creamy
either, the perfect consistency. It sits well under the eyes, does not pill
when I wore other makeup products over it and I have oily skin which can
sometimes cause eye creams to slip and slide. I did not find that with this.
The formula is yellow which adds a subtle luminosity and brightening effect to
your eye area with use. I love that it contains both Vitamin C and Niacinamide
for brightening benefits. I am impressed with the abundance of beneficial
ingredients as it also has caffeine which can help with tightening and help
with problematic eye bags. I found with use that my eye area appeared brighter.
The eye cream also helps hydrate so when you do apply makeup, any fine lines
are diminished or reduced dramatically allowing you to apply concealer without
any creasing.
Having used this daily
I can see the advantages of using this have started to come to light. My eye
area/contours feel more toned. Whilst the brightening effect was only visible
when wearing the cream itself primarily due to the yellow tint, I did feel that
my dark circles weren’t as prominent as before use. Whilst this isn’t a miracle
product that will eradicate dark circles completely it certainly helps minimise
them.
This has become my
favourite eye cream I am impressed and will forever use this as a staple in my
skincare routine.
