I love this product. It's one of those that you don't need to use very often and see results from very quickly.
I being the freak that I am, use my exfoliating toners all around the eye area - I always have. This however, goes that step further and really makes the skin smooth and soft and thus much more tolerant to absorbing eye products.

I've ordered this a few days ago. How often do you recommend using this?
ReplyDeleteI use it a few times a week? 2/3?
DeleteWhat eye cream would you recommend for me? Im 21 with dry skin which you could say is a little dehydrated too. I have been searching and have no idea what to get!

Well, I'm shocked that you use exfoliating toner under the eyes. Maybe it's because I've always used to blindly follow the instructions written on the bottles...How many times a week do you use an exfoliator under the eyes? Don't you feel any burning or itching? Is it safe? I'm really courious, I'd like to know more about it. Please let mi know about your opinion and the effects you've noticed.
ReplyDeleteI have white dots in my dark circle under eye area, I think they may be milia that have not developed yet? Wondering if this would help with the problem? Or if something else is a better option?
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same problem and I've never found a solution. Would love to know if this product would help
DeleteWith your assurances of gentleness, I will give it a try... and could you perhaps recommend a moisturizer for use around the very most horribly sensitive and irritation-prone eyes? Your advice has done wonderful things for my skin but so far my eyes have tolerated nearly none of it.
ReplyDeleteQuick question: is this safe on eyelids too or just the eye bag area? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOk that sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDo you alternate this with an eye cream I suppose? Or do you layer them?
ReplyDeleteEye cream is something I have never really used, and I need to invest in!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see a post dedicated to it!

Sounds wonderful. I have just bought myself the Ole Henriksen Total Truth Eye Cream. Yet to give it a proper try.
ReplyDeleteI use it daily under my eyecream (Kiehl's Avocado in the day & eyesilix in the night) it really feels great and my under eye area is so smooth. but do you think i should use it less often? I am 38.
ReplyDeleteHummmmm, I may get this for the old dear!!!! If it works, I will be the BEST daughter ever!! xxx

It doesn't irritate but does help with wrinkles? Sign me up. ;) Thanks for the review: I'll definitely seek this out.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it could be a really interesting product - I love trying new skincare things and have undereye issues (lack of sleep doesn't do them any favours either!) Potential addition to my wish list!

I wnder how this compares to Perricone's Blue Plasma Orbital.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I'm wondering about your feelings about the addition of Lye (potassium hydroxide) and citric acid which is more irritating than glycolic acids in this eye cream? I also tested the pH approximately 5 times or so, and it was over 4.7 meaning it cannot exfoliate (as AHA's in formulas with pH's over 4.5 can only moisturise but NOT exfoliate - while those with a more acidic pH of 4.5 or less are meant for exfoliating). This means this product while containing glycolic and citric acid is not pH correct for exfoliation. Are you recommending this for hydration only? If it does not exfoliate can one just use an acid toner on the eye area?

I am so glad I remembered this post while browsing at TJ Maxx today. Scored a tube for $12! Already added to the my evening routine. Do you recommend using it morning and night as directed?
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, TJ Maxx also had a selection of Una Brennan products. I'm really tempted to go back for those. They had the facial oil, cleansing oil, and the night cream. Do you have any thoughts on the night cream?
Thanks!
Rachel
I got it at TJ Maxx, too. Just about had a heart attack when I saw it. I considered buying all of the ones in stock, but was with my mother and didn't want her to think I was insane.
DeleteHow have I missed this?! I love Ole Henriksen!! Definitely going to pick this up. Thanks for listing the ingredients too! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love this product! It works beautifully for my 44 year old eyes! My issue is that after only 4 uses, while screwing the cap either on or off (can't quite remember which way) the entire neck of the tube snapped off! I wasn't using any unusual pressure on it either. Since I loved it, I didn't hang on to box or receipt:( I emailed Ole Henrickson & they never even responded. I'm really bummed because this works like a dream but now mines exposed to air & can't be sealed back up. Has anyone else had tried this & had this issue?
ReplyDeleteCaroline, finding you was like finding my better half! Haha I think my husbands getting tired of me reading your posts to him:) I really think your way of looking at skincare & aging is brilliant!
