Let’s talk eye creams. Like any skincare product on the market, there’s loads of them! I struggle to choose one and be confident that the one I’ve purchased is right for me. And isn’t an eye cream just a more expensive and smaller version of a face cream anyway? So many products, questions and confusion for such a small pot or tube no wonder I struggle. Anyway, a few months ago I purchased Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream from Home Bargains, for the ridiculously cheap price of 49p for 25ml.
Why did I buy this?
I needed a new eye cream. I hadn’t used one for awhile as I’ve been taking my face cream up to my eyes and I decided no, I’m not doing that again! I’ve used Face Fact’s Ceramide Facial Wash and really liked it, so I was happy to buy something else from the brand. When you get older anything hydrating is a must (which this claims to be), the size of this is generous (normally eye products are 15ml not 25ml) and the price was a steal, so it needed to be bought!
What is this supposed to do?
Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream is aimed at making the under eye area look less tired, puffy, be more moisturised and overall give a more ‘alive’ look.
Packaging
25ml of eye cream comes in a small, blue and white tube. This comes boxed. It’s not flash in look but easy enough on the eye and quite neutral in appearance, so one that would appeal to both the guys and the girls.
Texture & Fragrance
Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream is white in colour and quite rich in it’s consistency. When I squeezed this out of the tube it held it’s shape. Similar in texture to a rich night cream as this isn’t runny or loose. This is a fragranced. It’s not strong but smells floral and fresh. I don’t mind it, it’s nice enough, but I would prefer this to be fragrance free,
Under the eye
All eye cream products suggest to use a small amount and this is no exception. I didn’t need to use too much because it’s a rich texture but it dabbed beautifully into the skin. It felt very comforting immediately, moisturising and protecting. It didn’t leave any residue behind. My under eyes felt moisturised but matt in look and feel. Did they look any fresher? I’ve been using this for under 2 weeks morning and night. I don’t particularly suffer from dark circles and my eyes haven’t really been puffy. But they have been well moisturised without feeling weighed down.
Recommended?
We all have to be realistic with our expectations for skincare. I don’t pick up products anymore thinking it will give me a real life filter on my face. But Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream firstly is bigger than a lot of eye creams on the market. Beautifully rich in texture that sinks in quickly but still leaves the under eyes moisturised. Perfect for those whose under eyes are dry, or dare I say are a little on the older side. This cost 49p which isn’t an everyday price and not a regular stock item in Home Bargains. But direct from Face Facts still is budget pleasing £1.49! Why would I NOT recommend this?
