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:
- Good only 6 months after opening, for me that is a short time, but I still use it for a year and haven't noticed signs of expiration. Probably the vitamin C starts to degrade.
- Doesn't make much difference to dark circles, eye corner wrinkles etc, no miracle product in any way (but that is ok). Just saying because Nivea's marketing says that this eye cream makes you look more energized, less tired, firming skin etc.
+ Not too heavy, not too light, just right cream consistency, not oily at all, still easy to apply without dragging skin even if putting on a super small amount
+ Absorbs fast, doesn't cause milia even if layered
+ Easy to squeeze a small amount from the tube, very fine tip
+ No scent
+ No eye irritation
+ Doesn't pill, works well under eye make up
+ I thought after I started using this eye cream that my dark circles looked slightly better, but who knows!
+ I like the price point of this eye cream considering it includes nice ingredients (who knows at what % though!): vitamin C, Q10, shea butter, panthenol, of course glycerin
+ Easy availability at super markets
* Nivea is an easy brand to like, they are affordable, easily available, they have many product lines that cater to almost all skintypes, or that is what I feel. I haven't come across a terrible Nivea product yet.
* Nivea has a new Nivea Q10 Plus C Energy Sleep Cream, which I also would like to try. Ingredients are similar to the eye cream so I believe it could work for me.
Price:
6-14 € / 15 ml (big difference where you get it from! Notino was cheap, local super markets are more expensive)
Bought from:
Notino
Buy again?
Maybe, yes. I did already, actually!
Worth the money?
Yes, good value even at 14 € / 15 ml, of course half price even better. Good, basic eye cream that suits most of people I feel, even those with a bit more oily eye contours (I used to be oily there but as I get older I get more dry). The 15 ml lasts me about a year which is longer than they promise that the product is good for.
