Have you ever saw a product and thought, should I buy a few but opted for one to be on the safe side? Then used the product and thought I wish I bought more? I’ve done it on many occasions. The flip side is giving into that urge and finding you have 3 to 4 bottles of a product which you hate using. But one product I don’t hate using, and actually like using, is L’Oréal Paris 2.5% Hyaluronic Acid Eye Serum. Why?
What is this & what is it supposed to do?
This eye serum is designed to help the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles, puffy eyes, while moisturising and brightening the look of the eye area. Not only is this down to the serum itself (containing caffeine, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, glycerin) but also the applicator you use that this comes with.
Cost?
This isn’t cheap usually! I was lucky enough to grab this from Home Bargains when it was only £1.99. But this retails from anything from £20.00 plus.
Packaging
20ml of L’Oréal Hyaluron Expert Eye Serum comes in a bottle not that much different in look to a bottle of nail polish. Clear, slightly tinted in purple with the serum applicator being attached to the lid. Unscrew lid, take out the applicator which consists of three small metal balls which is a triple roller. This gently moved over the under eye area provides a massaging action..
This comes boxed. Typical L’Oréal in look and style. Eye catching, informative in regards to the product and doesn’t look cheap!
In use
Applied onto clean skin, this can be used morning and evening. The box itself tells you how to use the applicator but I just gently sweep it a few times under each eye and dab excess serum in those areas. Quite a bit of serum is held onto the applicator, so there’s always excess. The mix between the serum and applicator provides a cooling sensation, especially as I have this in the fridge. You can feel the the massage action clearly with this, and the serum remains there while doing it, which is important. The serum, if applied too much, can be on the sticky side. But overall provides a very moisturising and protective shield under the eyes without making them look shiny.
My eyes after using this do look slightly rested. But is this the applicator, serum or both? No idea. But what I will say is the serum keeps them well moisturised. They look and feel it. And the applicator feels great on the skin and is a simple and quick way of pampering an area on my face I have issues with.
Recommended?
I like this product, a lot! I enjoy using it. It’s quick, easy but strangely rewarding. It hasn’t changed my undereye area but it has taken a slight edge off looking half dead. But for a product that can be as pricey as £30.00? I couldn’t afford it. Under £10.00? From anywhere, possibly. Under £5.00? Buy it! Under £2.00? Grab multiples! Nice product, I would buy if much cheaper than the usual rrp, but not at full price.
