Olay Eyes Firming Eye Serum, 15 ml

Bought after reading an online article about its apparent effectiveness. Works for me - not greasy and easily absorbed with, I feel, a tightening and freshening effect that I like.

This is a very good, lightweight, fragrance-free, silky Eye Lifting Serum from Olay. It contains a number of proven anti-ageing ingredients for the skin. It comes in a hygienic tube with a needle nose dispenser, which I like, making it easy to use. The formula is best suited to normal, combination, and slightly dry skins including sensitive. If you have very dry skin, this could be used under a rich eye cream or moisturiser.It contains skin-replenishing glycerin and skin restoring niacinamide (vitamin B3), with free radical fighting antioxidants and cell-communicating peptides. All have proven anti-ageing benefits for the skin, and are good to see in the formula, which will certainly help to hydrate the skin and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This also gives a nice reflective glow to the eye area thanks to the inclusion of mineral pigments, which lend a subtle, luminosity to the skin, making dark circles look less apparent, but this is purely a temporary cosmetic effect.As for the claims about lifting sagging skin, while this serum helps with fine lines and wrinkles, it cannot permanently lift sagging skin, no eye cream, or serum, no matter how well formulated or expensive can do that, I wish they could, skin care has its limitations. This is because sagging skin is caused by gravity, complex physiological processes, age, and environmental factors, like sun damage from the sun's UVA rays. Nor can this serum help with age-related eye bags, which are caused by weakening muscles in the eye area and fat deposits under the skin, unfortunately, the only thing that can address these are cosmetic surgical procedures.However, as eye creams/serums go, this anti-ageing formula from Olay is effective and beneficial for the skin, and certainly worth considering. I like it.Ingredients:Water, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Polyethylene, Panthenol, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Allantoin, Polyacrylamide, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-4, Dimethiconol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Laureth-7, Sodium PEG-7 Olive Oil Carboxylate, Disodium EDTA, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Iron Oxides.

It seems to be working. I haven't used all of it as yet. I'm still observing whilst using. It seems to be working on the bags under my eyes though. Waiting to see the firmness and so on.

I really love it. I’m in my early 40s and definitely struggle with skin under my eyes being dry and wrinkly . This feels lovely on the skin , very rich but not sticky or thick so I use under the make up too. I think it has a bit of highlighting properties as the undereye looks a bit more radiant straight after applying . Great price too. The only thing I don’t like is the type of packaging . When it’s near to finished nothing comes out anymore and you need to cut the bottle in half to get inside . And then you find quite a bit of product still left , just need to dig it out with your little finger. It probably gives you extra 2-3 days worth of product if you like yo be frugal .

Been using this for years. Tried others but keep coming back to this one. Very creamy and absorbs nicely into my skin

I wanted a cream to use at night that felt like it didn’t absorb and disappear quickly. It’s just right for me, no irritation, absorbs well and leaves just enough for skin to feel soft and not dry.
