The green tea extract in this eye cream provides your skin with antioxidants which help to fight off free radicals and help to boost the overall health and appearance of the skin surrounding your eyes. This formula is rich with collagen and peptides which help to rejuvenate skin cells whilst firming the skin. This causes a reduction in the visible appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, making you look younger. Jojoba Oil helps to nourish and moisturize your skin, giving it a plump and revived appearance. Although the ingredients in this eye cream may be beneficial, it is not indicated how many of these ingredients are active ingredients. In order for any eye cream to be effective it has to contain at least 10% active ingredients. Without this information customers will not be able to make an informed decision when buying this product.
Instructions
It is recommended that you dab this eye cream over your eyelids and under your eyes. You can use it morning and night after you have thoroughly cleansing your face. Unfortunately, this product is not available an airtight pump bottle.
Cost
You can purchase this product directly from the manufacturer’s website for $10 per bottle. You will also receive free shipping with your purchase. If your order total is worth $25 or more then you will receive a free gift with your purchase. This product is really cheap compared to similar products currently on the market. This makes us wonder if it is of a high quality and if it will really be as effective as higher priced eye creams.
Guarantee
Unfortunately, this product does not come with any guarantee policy. This reflects poorly on the confidence shown in the effectiveness of this product.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Illuminating Eye Cream Review – The Bottom Line
We like that this product is so affordable and easily accessible to everyone. The fact that it is cruelty-free and vegan-friendly also counts in its favor when it comes to customers that are environmentally conscious. However, we are concerned with the lack of a decent guarantee policy and we are unsure of the effectiveness of the product when looking at the lack of active ingredients included in the making of this eye cream. The price of this product also suggests that it may not be as effective as other higher priced eye creams.
