Anti-Aging Daily Eye Cream by Benefit Cosmetics Review | Eyecon Helps Reduce Puffiness, Fine Lines & Dark Circles

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Benefit Cosmetics EyeconIt has created an eye cream "Eyecon" that is supposed to help fight against puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. Well, although Benefit Cosmetics are usually very good, it should have left youth restoration to the experts! Sorry Benefit.

Benefit Cosmetics was established in San Francisco in 1976. So really it is still a baby and we could see improvements in this product in the future.

The only ingredients mentioned in this concoction are apple and sweet almond. If that's the key ingredients and Benefits biggest selling point for this eye cream, then I would rather save my money and smear fresh apple and almond under my eyes instead of buying this!

Personally I find it very frustrating when a company doesn't supply the list of ingredients on its site. Especially when there are so many people with allergies that have to check these things.

Users Conclusions

Most users seem to agree the cream is hydrating, a little goes a long way and they also like how it is unscented.

Unfortunately it is let down by the fact that most patrons say it does absolutely nothing to reduce dark circles or fine lines.

Ingredients

The only ingredients I found mentioned were sweet almond and apple fruit.

To Sum Up

Although most users found Eyecon ineffective a couple of people said it worked for them and reduced their dark circles and puffiness.

Frankly this eye cream has come across as weak when put to the test in the field, therefor I think it is far too expensive at $30.

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Clinique All About EyesClinique All About Eyes is a lightweight cream/gel that is designed to reduce fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. This cream is to be used morning and evening daily.

Apparently it should also help makeup around the eyes last longer, as it acts a little like a foundation primer.

Clinique don't go into much detail about this cream/gel, it just says what it does, but not how it actually does it. There is no scientific explanation, or nothing!

Users Conclusions

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Reduces fine lines
  • Improves puffiness & dark circles
  • Moisturizes
  • Absorbs quickly

Cons

  • Expensive
  • No SPF

Ingredients

Cyclomethicone polysilicone-11, purified water, isostearyl palmitate, polyethylene, butylene glycol, cyclomethicone, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, saxifraga sarmentosa extract, grape extract, shey protein, mulberry root extract, caffeine, phytosphingosine, wheat sphingolipids, scutellaria baiccalensis extract, green olive extract, green tea extract, cholesterol, linoleic acid, tocopheryl acetate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, pyridoxine diplamitate, sucrose, glyceryl laurate, lactose, dimethicone xopolyol, quaternium-18 bentonite, petrolatum, cetyl dimethicone copolyol, propylene carbonate, sodium chloride, disodium edta, iron oxides.

Directions

When using eye creams put a small amount on finger tips and gently tap around, from the inner corner of the eye around to just underneath the eye brow. Using this gentle moment stops pulling on the skin, hopefully preventing the appearance of fine lines.

To Sum Up

Most users really like this eye cream because it is moisturizing and reduced their dark circles.

However, there are a few people who think it is expensive for $28.50 (0.5 oz), they would prefer a eye cream that contains an SPF.

This eye cream could be worth a try as most users found it to be effective.

Users Conclusions

Below is a list I compiled about what the users think of it:

Pros

  • Lightens dark circles
  • Reduces fine lines
  • Reduces puffiness

I couldn't actually find any bad reviews on Eye Wonder. It is quite a new product though.

Key Ingredients

Dermican, Eurol, Bt Haloxyl, Eyeliss, Matrixyl 3000, Phytelene 773.

Directions

Apply morning and evening for the first month then just once a day for maintenance. Gently dot around the eye from the inner corner out to the under part of the eye brow. This ensures no tugging which can cause fine lines and lost elasticity.

To Sum Up

Ladies who have used this eye cream only had good things to say about it. They say it actually reduces fine lines, puffiness and dark circles.

At $42 for a 20ml jar it is quite pricey, but what eye cream isn't now days! If its within your price range if could be worth a try as all the ladies that have reviewed it found it worked for them.
