Askmewhats Reviews: L'oreal HydraFresh Eye

One of the major supplier for my eye products (be prepare to gasp) is my dearest Brother! My brother is an Architect in China and he comes home for a visit once or twice a year. Since my job entails me to be in front of the computer whole day, plus my love to spend quality time chatting with my family or loved ones, I love to sleep late and mind you, I have to wake up early morning for work. One time, my brother came back home for a vacation, and my dearest brother who speaks nothing but the truth said: "You seriously have dark and puffy eyes!"

And you guessed right on what's next, the next time he came back, he bought me eye creams from Duty Free shops at the airport. Sweet! :D

I have had this for long but I was too lazy to use it because I felt that no eye cream would help me out but concealer! I was out of Clinique's All About Eyes eye cream one day so I gave this a try. Am I happy with this???? Read on!

Pros

• No allergies for my eyes
  
• I love this gel-like texture
• If you find traditional eye cream too heavy: This is for you!
• moisturizes my eye
• I find the puffiness of my eyes reduces after months of usage
• my eyes felt refreshed instantly after application due to it's texture
• non greasy, absorbs easily
• packaging is wonderful! No need to dip fingers

• affordable for an eye cream that will last me more than 6 months (applied morning and night)
  

Cons

• I'm not sure if it's available here (help me please), I researched and read that this is available at Watson's
• No MORE! :P
  

Overall

A lot of my readers asked me about eye creams, they of course want affordable eye cream that works! I've always mentioned to them that L'oreal makes good eye cream and I said that because of THIS eye cream.

This works for me! Yes Clinique's All About Eyes works for me too! But if I'm searching for a cheaper alternative, this works just as fine!

-----------------------------

When I started to use this, I didn't thought of reviewing this so I never took shots of myself, but my brother came back after 6 months and he told me the puffiness of my eye and the darkness did subside! It's still there, but its definitely better than before :)

That's my own experience and my own observation on this product :)


Tips

• rub the product on both fingers before you GENTLY apply them all over your eyes.
• be careful not to get the product into the eye
• wash your eyes with water ASAP if you find the product irritates your eyes
• if allergies occur, STOP using this, true for any other products!
  
• do not follow the instruction step no. 2 (photo below, click to enlarge) as pinching the skin around your eyes can lead to looser skin around the eye area as our skin around the eyes are sensitive (this is my personal opinion)

Will I repurchase?

Yes! This is a good alternative for my Clinique's All about Eyes.

Where did I purchase and how much?

A gift from my brother, I've checked internet and it costs around Php475.00 (approx $9.70)
