click images to enlarge







PRODUCT INFO (from box)



How it is different?

Skin around the eye is extremely thin and fragile and is prone to dark circles, fine lines and dark spots. Daily UVA/UVB rays enhance further darkening on this dedicated area, making your eye contour look dull.

Discover Garnier Light Eye contour whitening cream, with a triple targeted action.



How does it work?

*Associated with massage techniques, Light Eye cream improves eye contour’s micro-circulation to reduce the appearance of dark circles.



*The formula contains anti-UVA/UVB filters (spf 15) to protect the fragile eye zone against harmful daily rays and prevent fine lines.



*It is enriched with pure lemon essence and herbal extract to lighten eye contour and tone down spots.



Dark circles and dark spots are less visible, eye contour skin is smoother and more uniform, luminous with healthy glow. Fragrance free, ophtalmologically tested for optimal tolerance on the delicate eye contour.



Noted efficiency

*Dark circles are reduced: 80%

*Eye contour is immediately smoother : 93%

*self assessment on 40 women





GARNIER LIGHT actives

Rating :

WHAT I LIKE:

* non-sticky

* fast absorbing

* unscented

* affordable

* tube packaging



WHAT I DON'T LIKE:

* can't think of any =)



ADDICTION FACTOR:

Been using this eye cream for 2 weeks, haven't noticed any major improvements but I noticed my eye area looks refreshed and my dark circles have lighted a bit. My fine lines are still there, no visible improvement yet, hopefully it will be reduced after I finish the tube. I wanna try their EYE BRIGHTENING Roll-on as soon as this runs out. =)

WHAT I LIKE:
* the packaging
* the sponge is soft; but I sometimes use my baby buki
* controls oil for about 4 hrs ( use it on my T-zone only) ; my cheeks are dry
* it goes translucent (i use LIGHT, at first i thought its too white for me)
* unscented (i hate products with parfums or strong scents)


WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* expensive for an oil control powder

RATING :
3 out of 5.

ADDICTION FACTOR:
If you don't have super oily skin like me or you find it too expensive, there are cheaper alternatives.

* Pigeon Compact powder - Click here to read Angie's review.
There are 2 kinds of Pigeon powder available in the market. The Mirrorless compact is made in Japan and the other one from Indonesia. The former comes only in white shade and is medicated to prevent pimples and it has collagen and silicon oil to protect babies' sensitive skin too!
The latter comes in 4 shades, white, pink, beige and brown and comes in a oval- square-ish white compact with mirror.
Retails for Php 200+
