    Texture: creamy and thick
    Absorption: due to shea butter it felt very occlusive
    Smell: non-perfumed, extremely subtle and naturally herbal

    I was trying a deluxe sample which lasted for 2 weeks. It’s a nice product: kept the eye area nicely moisturized and allowed smooth makeup application (no clumping of eyeshadows as it at times happens with some eye creams). However, I was expecting much more from this product after experiencing the amazing effects of Sisleya Radiance Anti-Aging Concentrate. I would also expect much more impressing effect taking into account quite amazing active ingredients list. It was just ok. I have some slight lines, not yet wrinkles, but I did not see much change in those after the 2-week regular twice a day application. It did have an effect on dark circles, but I cannot comment on puffiness as I don’t usually have this problem.

    Price Time: about 150$

    1. I cannot count how many different eye creams I have tried over the years ( La Mer, La Prairie, Dr Brandt, Prevage.......list goes on) and nothing has compared to Sisleya Eye & Lip cream. Its thick enough to give me hydration all day (considering I work in an office for 10 hours a day) and my eyes never feel tight. I do not get those terrible white spots under my eyes from using too much product either. It works very well on fine line (caused by dryness) and I noticed only a slight improvement on dark circles (not my primary concern.

    2. I really like this the texture is just right very creamy but easily absorbed I use it for both my eyes and lips and it's very hydrating,there's barely any fragrance in it which is a plus for me.It brightens up my under eye area a bit but I don't have really dark under eye area the cons for me it's the price it's very expensive but 1 jar lasted me for 8 months so I only buy it once a year ;)
