If you try to look after your skin, there is always at least one area that you want to improve on. My area of concern is my under eyes. They’re not bad, but I want them to look a little more rested and alive which in itself will give me a younger, fresher look. So I have a weakness for eye products and I’ve been looking for an eye serum to give this area of my face a little pick me up. I picked up Glow’s Time To Glow Eye Serum from Home Bargains for £2.49 for 30ml, to see if this would help.
What is this designed to do?
Glow’s Eye Serum is designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles, make the under eye area look fresher and brighter thanks to ingredients included such as ceramides and Vitamin C.
Packaging
Glow’s Eye Serum comes in a glass bottle with a pipette applicator. This makes it easy and hygienic to use. Quite simple in look but does stand out thanks to it’s soft pink coloured label, and comes boxed with the design and colour mirroring the bottle. It does stand out and is quite appealing.
Consistency & Fragrance
This eye serum is clear, liquid but not as fluid as water, which is what I would expect from a serum consistency wise. I can’t smell a fragrance although the packaging doesn’t state it’s fragrance free. But I can’t see an obvious listing of a fragrance in the ingredients either.
How to use
Using a small amount, dab the serum under the eyes.
On the skin
I found this a very easy serum to use. The consistency is perfect because it’s not too fluid and I can feel this going onto the skin with my fingertips. It feels lightweight and quite moisturising and sinks in very quickly. It doesn’t leave a film or layer on the under eye area to look at, but it does feel as if something has been applied to it.
The previous eye product I was using was a cream. That formula was much more nourishing compared to this but it would because of it’s texture. But looking at the visible look of the under eye area, after using this for a few weeks, looks and feels no different to before use. I had hoped to get even the smallest amount of freshness in appearance from this but nothing.
Recommended?
This was a nice enough product to use but I didn’t feel it made any difference. The look, the feel of the under eye area was pretty much the same for me as before so it’s not something I would repeat purchase. I think this is an ok product to use if you just need something light weight for this area of the face, but it’s not the best. I’m happy to pay a little more for a better product and possibly a branded one that I know of and can research and get customer reviews on.
