Kiehl's

Age Defender Eye Repair

14ML

Change of formula, but not for the better

I have been using this for many years, finished my last pot and ordered 2 new pots. It was previously like a paste that melted with the heat of your skin and soaked in nicely but the formula has been changed. It's now very thin, greasy, and rubs on too easily. You will go through a pot 4 times as fast as before, obviously to get the customer to buy more of it more often (but are the new ingredients used as good as before). After using these pots up, I will definitely be looking for a new product. It's a shame as I loved the old stuff but will avoid this in future.

Soothing

I received a sample of this in store for my husband to try and he was excited to try it as he already uses Kiehl's Facial Fuel range and has noticed a positive difference in his skin. He said it applies and absorbs easily around the delicate eye area and his skin felt hydrated and nourished after using it. As it was only a small sample he cannot comment on its long term skin benefits but I think he enjoyed it enough to purchase the full size product soon.

Best Use: Hydration, Loss of Firmness, Wrinkles, Anti-Pollution, Puffiness, Fine Lines, Anti-Aging

OK eye cream

Ok eye cream, but nothing special and nothing I could recommend to buy. This eye cream did not irritated my eyes or skin around my eyes but I did not see any difference with my fine lines, dark circles or puffiness in my eye area. As it is presented to be strong eye treatment and especially for its price, there are better alternatives.

great and effective!

Love this. I got a sample in a gift bag and just bought the full size yesterday. It's so thick and yet absorbs really quickly. I've just been using eye creams out of habit, but this is one where I have actually seen my bags get tighter and smaller and my dark circles lighten.

Best Use: Flakiness, Hydration, Brightening

Certainly moisturises

Kiehl’s are my fave, fave brand - oooo I love em! I have sensitive skin so once I find a brand that works for me I stick to it. This cream is pleasant and it certainly moisturises the under eye to plump up fine lines but I’d say it’s a good moisturiser rather than a mighty wrinkle-reducer but then what actually is there in the skincare world to massively affect the thin under eye area? I don’t think there are many skin care miracle workers within the financial reach of most of us so I’d say this is a pleasant way of hydrating the eyes and slowing down the ageing process rather than reversing it.

Best Use: Hydration, Fine Lines, Anti-Aging
