Dark circles, baggy under-eyes and crepey eyelids are often a result of sleepless nights or dehydrated skin that’s begging for some moisture.
If you’re fed up with having to lather on the concealer to hide those tired-looking eyes every morning, Amazon shoppers are raving about an affordable eye cream which is being described as ‘far better than expensive brands’ and ‘magic in a tube.’
Nivea’s Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Power Firming Eye Cream has been reduced to just £5.75 instead of £12.98 so it’s the perfect opportunity to try it out for yourself, and see what all the fuss is about!
According to Nivea, the impressive formula which has been made with 100% skin identical Q10 and Creatine, visibly reduces eye contour wrinkles and tangibly firms the skin around your eyes for a younger-looking appearance.
It’s also been dermatologically-approved, and is suitable for all skin types as well as contact lens wearers.
With over 2,000 five-star reviews, it’s not hard to see why the affordable beauty buy is so popular amongst skincare fanatics. One delighted customer said: “I have only been using this product for a couple of days and it works! I had puffy bags under my eyes as well as dark circles. The puffiness has gone right down and the dark circles are much reduced. I’ve spent a fortune on other products and was more or less resigned to bags for the rest of my life but amazingly after just a couple of days they’re gone as if by magic!”
A second added: “I wasn’t expecting much given the very reasonable price but I’ve been looking for an eye cream that works and doesn’t irritate my eyes for a long time. This is perfect, it definitely firms the skin around the eyes but isn’t greasy. I’ve noticed an improvement after just a few days. Far better than some of the expensive brands, 10/10!”
While a third wrote: “40 year old husband delighted that a family friend asked him why he was looking so young and no wrinkles - she had suspected Botox! He fully puts it down to this eye cream!”
Although there are plenty of positive reviews, there are a few negative ones claiming the eye cream leaves white marks on the skin. One customer said: "Weird consistency doesn’t not spread evenly, leaves white marks and peels easily which ruins any makeup."
If you don't mind spending slightly more, Medik8's £42 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye Cream has been proven to depuff swollen skin and smoothen out dark circles, as well as treat signs of ageing by diminishing crow's feet. Caffeine and hesperidin work together to boost circulation in order to balance out dark circles, while powerful powerful peptide 'Matrixyl 3000' lifts the eye contour and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles.
This clever serum has been sensitively formulated to allow you to benefit from all the perks of retinol, without the risk of irritation - and there’s three strengths to choose from; Strength 3 (for new users), Strength 6 (for regular vitamin A users), and Strength 10 (for advanced vitamin A users).
