I've always been skeptical about makeup brands churning out their own skincare line but Bobbi Brown's philosophy is different and we all can appreciate that.
I went into bobbi brown looking for their foundation and ended buying a few of their skincare products, the hydrating eye cream being one of them. It is a very basic eye cream, it has a very light fresh scent and applies well under the eyes. It almost acts like an eye primer and make-up sits beautifully over it. I'm giving it a 3 star not because I dislike it but because I was comparing it to the kiehl's avocado eye cream which I really adore and I feel that while it is a basic no fuss clean fresh hydrating eye cream, it does not feel as hydrating and nourishing as the avocado eye cream.
The under eye area has always been a constant battle for my otherwise great skin condition. I have tried many eye creams mostly from high-end brands but this is the first time I can actually confirm that a product makes a noticeable change.
For the past two years I am using almost exclusively asian skincare products, so I only came across this cream because it was gifted to me as a sample. Since the very first uses it made a big difference for my eyes, as it made almost all the puffiness go away. I was very surprised and actually tested stopping using it to confirm it was the cream that made my eye bags disappear. I then immediately went for the full size product and now it is the only western 'stranger' in my routine line-up.
Normally I go for eye creams with anti-age ingredients and purpose but I am willing to oversee the fact that this one is a simple hydrating cream, as it does just that perfectly. Although its creamy consistency is not heavy, it moisturises perfectly my very dry under-eye area and at the same time it works very well under make up, helping a lot with concealer application and performance.
Overall, because of the good hydration it provides it smoothes the fine lines, but it's major advantage is definitely the puffiness reduction. I didn't find any difference to my black circles, but doesn't claim that anyway.
