I liked the Vichy Idéalia Eyes, especially the tube applicator that it comes in. Its very controlled and rubs on nicely. It's a nice smooth application and not sticky . I have noticed a difference in very fine lines on corners of my eyes . Thank you for the opportunity to try it .
WOW! Je suis sous le charme de ce produit! J'ai adoré la texture de ce produit pour les yeux. La texture n'est ni trop légère donc non desséchante, ni trop riche pour permettre le maquillage sans problèmes! J'ai une toute petite tâche solaire sous l'oeil droit et après une semaine, je trouvais que la pigmentation avait diminuée! Le tube est très chic et féminin! À ce procurer dès que possible! Merci à ChickAdvisor et Vichy Canada de m'avoir permis de découvrir ce bijou de produit!
OBSERVATIONS:
I'm 34 years old and do not currently have any wrinkles around my eyes, so this is the first time using an eye cream consistently for this long. I've been using this cream for about 4 weeks now, applying every evening under the eyes and in the crows feet area (never on the eye lid).
PROS:
- application felt nice and refreshing, it went on nice and cool
- left no residue
- did not notice any change to my under eye area but I don't have wrinkles - I suspect this is a preventative cream so with continued use, it will prevent the formation of wrinkles?
CONS:
- price
- applicator. I did not use the applicator in the way the bottle instructed to. I tried using it that way the first two nights and it just stuck to my under eye skin, pulling at my skin. Instead, I just squeezed the cream out of the plastic hole, and applied with my ring finger. I know they were trying to be innovative, but it was a poor idea.
CONCLUSION:
Undecided whether or not to repurchase for two reasons:
a) price
b) I am not really sure that under eye creams are actually beneficial in any way in addition to normal moisturizers/face creams.
Would like to add a CON:
- this cream did NOT reduce my under eye circles at all. Saw virtually no difference in the darkness under my eyes.
This product definitely reduced some of the circles and tiredness from my under eyes, however it did sting a little and i really did not like the applicator. I now put some on my finger tip and gently apply it. It was much easier to control. If you get any in your eye it stings ALOT. That being said the product is effective at doing what it says it does. I would recommend trying this product but use caution especially if you have sensitive skin.
I received this product from chickadvisor free to review.
I really liked the applicator tip idea but felt it was a little uncomfortable to use on my delicate eye area. I would of liked a soft brush or something less rubbery.
I did notice a different with wrinkles and brightness and I do recommend trying this. My under eyes aren't as dark. It was fast absorbing and I used my middle fingers to apply it instead of the applicator.
I can't say that I'm the best to review this product since I am 27 and currently do not experience any issues with bags or crows feet. That being said, I still tried the product and applied it everyday. It has almost like a concealer in it which is supposed to help the visibility of dark circles,etc, but I found the tone was actually too dark for my complexion so it actually made me feel like it ADDED dark circles. Perhaps if I had the issue to begin with, it would have been a different outcome?
I like the applicator for me it worked very well I like the way my eyes look after I use product but the minute I washed off the product it didn't show that I had use anything and it did nothing for the wrinkles or the dark circles underneath my eyes even after weeks of use
I did enjoy this eye cream. It was smooth and didn't leave my skin greasy as it absorbed quite quickly. A major benefit is that it has some tint to it. So it helped in my everyday routine by diminishing the dark circles under my eyes. The applicator on the product was a bit tricky and at first I thought I was to remove the whole tip. After figuring that out I simply applied it with my fingers as the applicator didn't really allow for smoothing. The scent was nice however the product is a little pricey.
I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Product review panel. I love the fact that it comes in a tube. So much nicer than dipping my finger in a jar. The applicator is also a silicon paddle which is handy for making sure it reaches the entire eye area. My under eye area was left looking brighter but I didn't notice a difference in the appearance of my fine lines. Perhaps it would require more than a few weeks to see that kind of improvement. I think its a good product for dealing with darkness under and puffiness though.
I love serums. This one met my standards as well. No harsh smell and I loved how light it felt on my skin. I am not seeing a huge improvement, however it's only been a few weeks. I will continue using this to see the final results.
