I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...





Thoughts:

Started to irritate my eyes after using for 2-3 days in a row; itching, small bumps on my eyelids/under eyes, redness. Went away when I stopped using, everytime seemed to come back after 2-3 days of use. Less irritation when used only once in a while.

Not very moisturizing, surprisinly! My under eye wrinkles got more pronounced and I felt tigthness and after a couple of days had to put Bepanthen (panthenol ointment) under my eyes to calm them.

Didn't notice any effect on my dark under eyes etc but it is ok as it doesn't even promise to do anything else than hydration.



Packaging is really easy to use and clean, hygienic pump bottle. You can get an exact amount of product.

No scent. (But does include parfum in case you are against it.)

Absorbs really well, like a light lotion cream, doesn't tug skin. Works well with make up.

Was really affordable in Lithuania (all products from Kilig are, plus they were on sale when I was there)

Ok, the packaging and brand image are also very cute and eye catching!






* So disappointed this eye cream didn't work for me, and I'm almost certain it is some slight allergic irritation towards something. Maybe witch hazel? Or just peach kernel oil? I wish I knew! I don't really know my allergies, the only things I've ever gotten reactions to was probably birch pollen (a very bad pollen spring) and maybe fresh pineapple, but it is only itchiness on hands/mouth and nothing serious.

I have been hesitant to chuck out Kilig eye cream, just hoping I could somehow use it, because I know no one who I could give it to. It doesn't give me an instant rash or burn, so everytime I keep trying again and again if I could use it anyway. Well, I guess I'll let it hang around for a couple of months and hopefully I've moved on enough to throw it away then.

* I also think maybe the cream just wasn't occlusive enough for me?



Price: 

I think about 5 € / 15 ml

Bought from: 

Supermarket in Lithuania

Buy again? 

No.

Worth the money? 

Not for me obviously because Kilig's Double Moisturizing Eye Cream causes reactions. It is not expensive and ingredient wise seems ok, but I just don't know if I would recommend anyone to try it, because I don't feel that it is even that moisturizing/hydrating, and it is exactly what this product's point is: "double power of hyaluronic acid, double hydration, singing in the rain".
