FarmacyWake Up Honey Eye Cream for Dark Circles and Puffiness - Under Eye Cream for Wrinkles and Bags Under Eyes - Formulated with Caffeine & Vitamin C - 14.7 ml

UPDATED REVIEW:I'm beginning to run out of this Farmacy eye cream after months of use. I persevered after initially finding it to be quite a bracing experience when I applied it - I was always very aware that I'd put it on, and it almost stung it felt so present. But in time my eyes adjusted to it and I found that it did help to brighten up the skin around my eyes and moisturise really well.It definitely took time to adjust to, but eventually I found I used it every day, and want to replace it now that it's running out. This turned out to be one of the better eye creams that I've ever used.OLD REVIEW:I seem to be in the minority of reviewers for this Farmacy Wake Up Honey, because I find it to be quite uncomfortable and not suited to my skin. I often get Blepharitis, so am prone to having sensitive eyes.When I use this Farmacy eye cream, which has a very mild smell and absorbs very well, I'm acutely aware that I'm wearing it. It might well be the case that if I persevered it would do the job of brightening my skin and helping with signs of ageing etc, but whenever I use it I seem to get sleep/gunk gathering in the corners of my eyes much more quickly than I would usually. I guess the message is that if you're predisposed to Blepharitis, this might not be the eye cream for you.

I have had a tough few weeks which has meant minimal sleep for a while. As I am now 30 I am looking for creams to prevent these dark circles and bags. I seen this at the time of purchase this was £41 so I thought it must be good stuff. I have read reviews about Farmacy and they all seem to have really good reviews. You get quite a nice sized little tub actually. I like the packaging feels and looks very high quality. It has some very good quality ingredients in it which on review are very good for dark circles and puffiness.So I have been using this for around 3-4 weeks. I am definitely seeing a difference. I just use a small pea sized amount that can be used for both eyes. I just go around my eyes and on my eye lids, I instantly notice my eyes are brighter. It does have like a slight orange tinge to it so whether that helps hide those unwanted circles I don't know but I feel like it works. For the amount you use this tub will last you a life time. It doesn't really have any scent which for me is good as I don't like very strong smelling creams, it goes on really nice, not greasy rubs in really well to the skin. Little pricey I think but it does work really well, brightens up my whole face. Good quality cream.

I like how it was packaged

I’ve used this for a few weeks before I reviewed to try and give the most honest opinion. I have very sensitive skin and in recent months I seem to of developed a bit of a sensitivity to a lot of eyeshadow, which I enjoy using to create various effects. I have not started using a new eyeshadow brand so it is not that. I also have very dark circles under my eyes which lead me to look like a permanently exhausted raccoon when I don’t have make up on. This cream has so far been wonderful! You get an ample amount for an eye cream, and it is very rich, you only need the tiniest amount. I think this will last a good amount of time and will make the price point justifiable. I had taken to using the tiniest bit of steroid cream on my eyelids when they flawed up, which really isn’t a great solution and will cause it’s own problems overtime. Now I’m using this cream I haven’t needed to once and my eyelids and under eyes feel nourished and smooth. I have seen the tiniest bit of brightening over the past few weeks but I would not expect to see too much of a noticeable effect this soon. I think it will continue to nourish and enhance the appearance of my eyes over time and I would recommend it.

I always assumed that eye creams were glorified face moisturizers. I was never very into them, but on a whim, I decided to pay more attention to that area. I'm in my mid 30s, and I must say, this product is a game changer for me. This is a super lux feeling eye cream, just a tiny amount leaves my under eyes hydrated, moisturized, and bright all day long.I simply grab my ring finger and dab a little under my eye and pat it down in a circular motion. It is a quite thick eye cream and it needs a little bit more time to absorb. I noticed a decrease in puffiness almost right away. It makes my skin under the eyes very smooth and has no scent so it won't irritate your eyes.I feel I look more awake and not as tired as before so for me, this eye cream is definitely a winner. Now, I can’t go a single day without using this cream & will continue to use this to get the best results.

A high quality eye cream in the premium (or what I would call the premium) price bracket.It justifies its price though; this is a very good cream indeed. Caffeine & a variant form of vitamin C are listed amongst the ingredients, alongside cranberry and honey. Whatever the exact proportions, it does seem to work well, applied sparingly in the morning, reducing visible puffiness & dark circles. The quantity isn't vast, supplied in its distinctively shaped shallow pot -but very little is needed for application. A high-value product? Depends on your idea of 'value' -'value' does not have to be a synonym for 'inexpensive'. The question is -does it work, and is it worth the money? In the first case, providing you don't expect miracles or perpetual youth (alas), then the answer is 'yes'. Worth the money? If you can afford an eye cream at this price point without causing yourself financial hardship or sacrifices elsewhere -also yes. Certainly recommended, if you are in the market for an eye cream at this (or even significantly over) this price point.

Farmacy Wake Up Honey Eye Cream. Although I love the cute packaging I didn't like the smell. Off putting. Not good especially for the price.41.00 at time of review. 3*.
