Yes, yes, I know that the Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On has been reviewed by different bloggers so many times but I will give you 3 different points of view here.
Next, a man's point of view: MB. MB has really dark areas under his eyes. If you have a programmer/computer junkie/computer engineer for a friend/relative, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. The eye bags are not that prominent but they're there. He hasn''t been religiously applying this product but I did notice some results. He said that he still needs to see some results. I can say that his eye bags are gone. The discoloration is now lighter. There's only a small area that's dark. Overall his eyes look brighter now. MB also gives this a 3 out of 5 stars.
Finally, me. Hmmm.... I don't have eye bags because I sleep early. I get enough sleep everyday. But there are times when I don't and I can't and those are the times when I'm sick. My under eye area is a bit discolored. But only on a small area. I've been using this product on and off for a few weeks now. Just when I need it or when I remember to use it. I can say that it does have a brightening effect but I think you really have to have dark eye bags to see a major difference/change. I can say that my under eyes get lighter and brighter the next day prior to application. I wake up with 'well-rested' eyes even when I only had 6 hours of sleep. (I normally sleep for 8 hours).
I only have one problem. There are times when this product makes my eyes itch. There are times when it doesn't. I don't know why. I don't sleep right after application. It's usually a few hours after so the product has already been absorbed by my skin. I think the itching happens when it's hot and I start to sweat. I've noticed that even my face feels itchy when that happens. So, if you have sensitive eyes/skin, use this product when it's cold. We don't have A/C so I rely on the fans and they're obviously not enough. I haven't tried using this in the morning though because I don't need to. Maybe you can apply this after a graveyard shift so that you'd still look fresh. = )
After what I've seen on myself, mom and MB, I'd give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
The Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On costs Php199 and I bought this at Beauty by SM, that mecca for all things beautiful and affordable.
Hi! I've been using Garnier eye brightening roll on for 6 weeks and didnt experience any ithching...that is, until I reached the 6th week and my eyes itched like hell!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to eliminate all the possible suspects -- mascara, eye makeup, moisturizer, and finally the eye cream. Eventually I was able to single it out as the sole reason why the inner and outer corners of my eyes itched. Now I switched to a more all-natural eye cream and my eyes are back to normal :)
So basically you are not alone! My eyes itched as well! And so I tossed out my Garnier eye brightening roll on and am sticking with organic/natural stuff from now on :)
Hi Kira! I'm on the lookout for a good eye cream. What are you using?
ReplyDeletetry skin food's eye creams :D but i find they're more beneficial when used at night.
ReplyDeletei heard that garnier's undereye roll isn't fit for sensitive skin.
No, Garnier undereye roll is not for sensitive skin. Do you know the price range of skin food's eye creams?
