My thoughts on viewing the product:
The packaging is really quite cute. The box is made from recycled card / paper which always ticks a box with me. The tube is simple and adorable, with a puff of cotton on the front. I'm not sure how cotton extract is going to help my eyes but I wanted to try this product as I had a skin reaction on, of all places, my eyelids only, and my regular eye products were causing major irritations. The tube dispenser is interesting, where it is not a screw top but a pop top and by squeezing the product is dispensed through what looks like a wee pen with a silicone tip. Interesting!
My thoughts on application:
So, I was not impressed by the 10g product size until I actually applied this eye cream. A little goes an extremely long way!!! Not even a pea sized drop (I'm talking less than a quarter to perhaps half of a baby pea will do the job) with very gentle application. It goes on like a lotion but has a creamy consistency. I was too rough on my applicator and gave it a big squeeze. The poor silicone tip must have felt like it was about to erupt!
A week of use and my lids were soothed. Two weeks and I'm back to normal.
I didn't use this product for it's mitigating properties against puffiness (as I do not have that issue), however I can thoroughly attest to its anti-inflammatory, soothing, moisturising properties whilst reducing redness and flaky skin (which I did have)!
