I have combination skin which is in fairly good condition but my skin in the under eye area is thinner as I am constantly rubbing my eyes. I also find that as I am getting order that I am getting fine lines under my eyes, especially if I don't drink enough water in the day.

Previous to receiving Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream from the product review club, I was using Roc Retin-Ol which I thought was a great product until I tried Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream! After using the Marcelle product for a week I have noticed a remarkable difference in the texture of my skin below my eyes...especially with smoothly out my skin so my concealer goes on a lot smoother! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. I have only been using it for a week but so far so good and I don't anticipate it continuing to work as well as it has thus far. I highly recommend it!!!

I'm totally excited to have been picked to review this as part of the Product Review Club. It's targeted to people in my age group, late 20s to early 30s who are looking to prevent the early signs of aging - yikes! Something we all want to avoid!

My skin type is combination overall but my eye area is quite normal. I have basically no lines but occasionally my eyes can look a bit puffy and tired. I have a slight bag under one of my eyes.

I've been using this since it arrived and am quite pleased with it! I'll need to use it for a longer period to see if it really will prevent first wrinkles, but it's a great product so far. I like the pump packaging that's opaque since it'll keep the light out and keep the cream clean without finger contamination. You only need a small amount - less than a pump covers both eyes for me.

It's light and smooth with no scent and absorbs easily into my eye area. I've used it both day and night and it does not seem to alter the wearability of my daytime eye makeup. No greasy or heavy feeling to it.

Very happy with this so far! My eye area is very smooth and soft. I'll have to update when I'm done the bottle to see if it makes a difference over several months.

I'm always excited to try a new under-eye cream. I have what I've been calling "raccoon eyes"; the deep set, dark circled type. With age, they just seem to get more noticeable.

You don't need to apply too much half a pump to a pump should do just fine. It comes out light and soft and goes on the same. Overall, I've noticed a more uniform look to my eyes, and the dark circles have become more tame. The skin has also become much softer and smoother overall.

Note: Hypo-allergenic and perfume free.

I will definitely buy this again.

I was sent this eye cream as part of the product review club. I only have a few fine lines around the eye area from smiling and don't have real crow's feet yet.

I normally find eye creams too heavy for the delicate eye area but this one went on really smooth and felt luxurious.

I don't know yet if it will make a real difference or not but I feel confident that I am using a product to help prevent the early signs of aging.

I would recommend this cream for women in their early 30s or late 20s who want to take preventative measures to help reduce fine lines around the eyes.

WHAT'S ADVERTISED

This product is designed to "prevent the first signs of aging with this ultra-light and non-sticky cream that penetrates skin instantly; allowing you to apply your make-up immediately.

Enriched with high performance ingredients, this unique care will increase micro-circulation, reducing puffiness and dark circles. It deeply moisturizes and protects the delicate eye contour area."

THE REAL SCOOP

Marcelle is sort of the unheralded Canadian skincare line that is ubiquitous in drugstores across the nation. Until I chanced on one of their other products (Hydra C eye contour gel cream), I had no idea that the quality was actually so good! The packaging is unassuming and I had never thought to give it a try until it was recommended to me.

I'm now a convert because all of their products are hypoallergenic, perfume-free and surprisingly effective. This particular product line "Essentials" is geared towards the demographic of late-20s to mid-30s, with the needs of this age group in mind.

In terms of performance, the Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream is similar to their Hydra-C offering (which has won the "Elle Beauty Grand Prix" for several years in this category), but I will definitely switch to this one now. In addition to instant absorption into the skin and reduction of puffiness under my eyes, I have noticed that the tiny fine lines under my eyes have faded back with this product.

The pump dispenser is a plus in my books, as it allows for hygenic application and storage. A pea-sized amount is pumped out each time, which is enough for both eyes. I have been using this product for a couple of weeks and have not had any issues with the pump. Prior to this, I had actually been using a more upmarket eye gel from MDF, but find the results with this cream to be comparable in effective for about 1/3 of the price!

I will definitely re-purchase this product and am open to trying out the other offerings in this line (and of course keeping you ladies posted about it!)

Format: 0.5 OZ / 15 mL

I like this eye cream because it is very light and not thick or heavy like other eye creams. It's a good moisturizer for the eye too and suppose to reduce the first signs of wrinkles. The price is not too expensive and available at the drugstore so worth a try.

I can't tell whether it is effective or not. I don't see any new wrinkles around my eyes so I guess it is working. It is Hypo-Allergenic, so most skin types should not have any allergic reaction.

I am always hesitant about trying new products because I have sensitive skin, and even moreso when it comes to anything to be used around the eye area because of my allergies.

That being said, I am very glad I did try this product. I didn't experience any kind of irritation whatsoever; It was as gentle & effective as a more expensive product from a specialty store I had been using up to this point.

I am a convert; this product is hypoallergenic, works well and costs less than the moisturizer I've been using.
