I’ve been enjoying my 100% Pure products for some time now, and I keep meaning to formalize my thoughts in a review. What better time than 12:48 AM? Since I have a TON of products to comment on, I’m breaking them into individual posts. First up — their Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream. My six-month-plus search for the perfect eye treatment is finally over!
This stuff is rich and thick, but doesn’t feel too slick or balm-like on my skin. It sinks in fairly well, but still leaves a moisturizing feel. I can use it under makeup without it being too crazy and oily-feeling or looking.
It hasn’t caused milia or irritation for me as of yet, though it does occasionally clog my pores where my crows feet join my temples. (Nothing a little Retin-A/Clarisonic can’t handle, though.) It seems to contain a bit less caffeine than my oldy-but-moldby Best Bath Store eye cream, but I still notice a bit of a plumping effect. It can sting a bit if I get it directly in my eye, but that’s true of almost any product when it comes to my sensitive peepers.
Plus, I LOVE that it comes in a glass pump bottle instead of a jar, so it can’t go bad as quickly. (I just wish they’d make it dark glass so the product would hold up better, but hey, that’s a small complaint amidst a sea of raves!)
And best of all, and the delicate vanilla scent is so enjoyable, and I can smell it for quite some time after I apply it. (This might be a drawback for some users, but I adore it — most of my fragrance choices have vanilla notes to them, so it blends well in my case.) All in all, I’m super-happy to have found this — I’ve even gotten a couple of friends hooked on it!
This is a HG for me too! It’s so good and it’s in a pump bottle instead of a jar as is the usual for eye creams and it’s not even that expensive.
Out of curiosity, have you tried Garden of Wisdom’s eye products? I’m looking at their eye gel that’s for dark circles.
