This product just wasn’t a good fit for me.
I wanted an eye cream with a tiny bit of coverage to help brighten my eye area without looking too heavy like concealer sometimes does on me. Unfortunately this product didn’t meet any of my expectations. This cream wasn’t moisturizing enough and this would cause the brightening pigment to cling to the dryer inner corners of my eyes. I tried to apply additional moisturizing products on underneath to help this lay better, but then I ALWAYS had problems with this product pilling. I couldn’t layer this with anything. This also stung occasionally when I applied it so it was literally a pain to use. I’m just glad I got this on sale because the regular price (around $30!) just isn’t worth it.
I suppose I can see how this may still work for some people, but I believe there’s better and more affordable alternatives out there. I’ve currently been using Naturium’s Vitamin Bright Illuminating Eye Cream and been having much better results. Plus it’s more affordable and comes in different shades. If you want my advice, go with the Naturium option over this First Aid Beauty eye cream.
