Clinique Moisture Surge Eye Gel

Advantages: Reduces dark circles&puffiness, lasts for ages
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I got this as a sample from my friend who works on the Clinique counter in Selfridges. She gave me a few little pots of it so I've been using them for a few months now. Apparently they are the same kind of pots you get in some Clinique sets or the bonus time sets. Packaging They are tiny clear pots of 10ml with a green lid and Clinique printed on the side. But the actual eye gel comes in a 15ml tube, and I think is around £20. My Experience The gel looks really nice, it's like a pink/orange colour. It doesn't really have any smell, a bit like many of the other Clinique products. I do generally prefer things to have a [preferably nice] smell but I think fragrance-free quite suits Clinique's simple fresh products, making them seem more clean. The gel feels really nice, it is really smooth on the skin...

Contour gel for Panda eye

Advantages: A tiny container good for travelling
Disadvantages: No visible effects, neither positive nor negative

...Several months ago while shopping in superdrug, I spied upon the Olay eye contour gel. Out of curiosities, I bought it. Six months on, I have finally finished the tiny jar of 15 ml and is happy to say, the effects are so slight I still don't know what it does to my skin. According to Olay, the eye contour gel is supposed to reduce lines, dark circles and puffiness. In my case, I have some lines and definitely large dark circles around my puffy eyes. I assume these were the consequences of too many late nights and insufficient sleep over the years. The gel comes in a tiny translucent jar with a black cap with the usual Olay logo. It is well packaged, giving a very classy look. As mentioned before, the jar contains about 15ml of the gel. Not a lot, but if used sparingly, will last a while. The gel itself is transparent. It is...

Clarins Miracle Cure - Eye Contour Gel

Advantages: Visible results, reduces dark areas around the eyes, soothes tired eyelids, absorbed quickly
Disadvantages: Expensive to buy and difficult to apply

...I am a big fan of Clarins products but find them far too expensive to buy them as often as I would like, they tend to be essential items or bought as treats after a busy month at work. After a hectic time at work where I was working 12 hour days my eyes resembled something from a horror film, they were red, puffy and had deep dark bags underneath making me look something similar to my 70 year old grandma and I knew it was time to try something and Clarins Eye Contour Gel came to my rescue, but it came at a price. £15.99 for a small tube of the gel. When you first use the gel you notice the lack of fragrance and the fact that it seems to slip straight off your fingers it is that watery! Only a small amount is needed and once you have it on your fingertip you need to quickly rub it into the area below your eyes and then onto your...

Transformulas eye lifting gel - feel it work!

Advantages: Tightens and brightens skin round the eye effectively
Disadvantages: No evidence of semi permanent effects yet

...I was introduced to Transformulas Eye lifting gel by my very in the know Mother - she works in the beauty industry and is always at these trade shows trying out new products. She came home with this quite some years ago now, but as I had very sensitive eyes at the time I was reluctant to try it in case it reacted. Nowadays that problem has gone but in its place a new one - oh yes the dreaded wrinkles, puffy eyes etc that one gets with old age :( - Time to sort it out I thought! So I tried the Transformulas gel and really have not been without it since then - I think its fabulous. It comes in a 10ml tube with a wand applicator. You gently brush the wand around your eyes up to twice daily. Once dried, the result is not magic - I don't want to give the impression that it looks like you have had surgery or anything, but it DOES...

Review of Transformulas Eye Lifting Gel

Eye, Eye.

Advantages: A great help for puffy eyes.
Disadvantages: None

...inflated, I love the pots of body butter but unless they are on special offer then I leave well alone but I always manage to treat myself to some little thing. The Elderflower eye gel was one of my experiments, a pretty little glass jar that holds just 14g of elderflower gel. The pot of eye gel is not too expensive, it comes in at just over £5. The beauty of the gel is that one small pot will last for ages, you only need to apply a teeny amount each time. Maybe it would be cheaper to buy half a cucumber and cut myself a few slices but I would rather have something ready to hand ! The Body Shop elderflower eye gel is clear and it is also unperfumed. Among the list of ingredients are water, witch hazel ( to refresh ), glycerine ( to moisturise ) and elderflower extract which is a mild astringent that also helps to make the skin around you...

Skin Doctors Potent C Eye Gel

Advantages: Diminishes lines, reduced dark circles
Disadvantages: None!

...I recently purchased this skin doctors potent c + eye gel from Ebay for approx £12 - I think this is about £15 at other places. This is for a 15ml tub. The packaging is simple but nice, a blue and white box with black writing and the actual eye gel comes in a clear, glass tub with a silver lid. The texture of the cream is fairly thick and is white in colour. My thoughts are that this is a really good eye gel, it doesnt feel too heavy on the skin and it soaks in really quickly, any little fine lines i had around the eye area seem to have just dissapeared after only about two weeks and the skin around my eyes looks overall firmer and much more hydrated. My dark circles have gone and this eye gel is really good at reducing any puffiness which is good for me as i suffer with terrible hayfever so i find that i tend to get puffy...

Gale Hayman Eye Lift Gel - not surgery, but a pretty good feeling

Advantages: Economical, light refreshing and easily absorbed lifting gel
Disadvantages: None I know of

...Gale Hayman Eye Lift Gel is one of the best eye products I have used. It is a light, clear, cooling gel which you can apply morning or evening. It can also double as an eye "mask" if you apply a thicker coat over the entire eye area and leave overnight. Using only a pea size amount, and with your ringfinger, it is massaged gently around the eye area, nor forgeting above and below the brow and into any outer eye wrinkles. You may or may not feel a slight tingle, nothing to worry about, it is the product working and I definately feel the skin is tautened around the eye area after use. As I have one eyelid which is heavier than the other, this product really helps relieve the "heavy lidded" look on that side. As I said, it is not surgery, but I am too much of a coward for that, but it recieves rave reviews, has a cult following...

Finally a soothing mask designed for your eyes

Advantages: Very soothing, doesnt cause irratation like other products can, leaves your eyes feeling refreshed. All in all a fantastic product!
Disadvantages: None although after taking the pads off they tend to leave a very slight stickyness.

...MY OPINION: The need for a soothing product that actually works on your eyes is something that i greatly emphasise because as yet i havent found a product which does this job, until i came across a product in Boots which surprised me. 'Boots Botanics Revitalising eye masks' are specially designed as a mask to sooth and refresh your eyes, ideally suited for use after a tiring or stressful day at work. The first time i used this mask i was incredibly impressed by its performance as it left my eyes and the tissue around them feeling cool, refreshed, soft and soothed. INFORMATION AND PERFORMANCE OF PRODUCT: Firstly i'd like to describe how many useful and successful added products are used in this revitalising eye mask. The use of Sweet Balm which cleanses and tones to improve the condition of your skin and Cornflower which...

Review of Boots Botanics Revitalising Eye Masks

bagless eyes

Advantages: good price, sooths eyes
Disadvantages: not for heavy duty bags

...wake up late, scream, look in the mirror. Scream look again, scream. Wonder where your youthful looks went. Apply this soothing gel under the eye area. Realise those looks were just hiding all along? This eye gel from anatomicals comes in a very young and trendy packaging. It is very bright , fun and unique in its own design, definitely aimed at the younger market. What does the product aim to do? On its own packaging the claims are that the eye gel tightens the skin around the eyes reducing puffiness and eliminating signs of eye bags, or suitcases whichever you may have! Verdict! I have tried this product over the last couple of days, used first in the morning after cleansing. I was pleased to say that this was not a greasy product so it didn?t interfere with my makeup routine and sat under my foundation nicely. It was...

Garnie Synergie Bio-contour eye gel

Advantages: It works, Easily available
Disadvantages: Price

...This is an eye gel that claims to reduce puffiness and shadows. It is made by Garnier Synergie and I use a lot of their products and I'm never disappointed. This is readily available in most supermarkets and certainly in my local Boots and Superdrug. It is a 15ml tube which although sounds very big you only use a small amount and I find it lasts for about 2-3 months. It is roughly £8.00 at the moment in my local Superdrug which although sounds expensive this seems to be a normal price for eye gels within Superdrug. The product comes in a box which is a little over the top and the be honest the box is far to big for the actual product - not good for the environmentally aware amongst us. The tube is a clear light green and contains a nice thick gel. As the tube is see through you can see when you are running out and make sure...
