My Take on Ponds Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream

used for 3 months

Their Claim:

Hate those saggy eye circles? PONDS Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream refreshes tired eyes while diminishing puffiness and dark circles. Enriched with 99% real gold microparticles, Vitamin B3 and CLA, it soothes and smoothens the area around your eyes for a brighter, younger look.

Ingredients: (Click for the same ingredients' descriptions.)

How I used it:

I started using the product from July 17 of this year. Until now, I'm still using it and I think there's still a lot left. I am using it morning and night except on Wednesday evening and Sunday evening. After I applied serum all over my face, I smoothed the eye cream, not just below my eyes (as the instruction goes), but also above them. I'm particular in putting the product on the outer side of both my eyes. Then I tap that part with my finger to warm the product.

Effect on me:

This is my first time to use an eye cream. I haven't quite considered it until lately because I'm already alarmed at the rate of which fine lines appear, most especially, at my eye area. I would say that this product does not really help on eliminating those fine lines BUT I think it stopped its rapid increase.

It didn't help much on my dark circles. I just gave birth and since I'm taking care of my newborn, naturally, I lack sleep. Lack of sleep means dark circles. This is supposedly the best time to challenge the product. However, it didn't do much in eliminating those dark circles. Even if I use pressed powder after using it, the dark circle is still quite visible.

Verdict on their claim:

soothes and smoothens the area around the eyes – Since it has a lighter consistency, it really does soothe the area. At my age of 33, when the area around the eye dries up easily, this eye cream really helps to somehow fade its dullness.

Refreshes tired eyes – I didn't feel it.

Diminish puffiness – I say that with constant use, the puffiness below my eyes continues to decrease in size.

Diminish dark circles – I don't think the product help much.

Packaging:

when opened

The product comes in a bottle with a gold nozzle. It does really looks chic and quite handy at that. The container is just perfect for traveling. Problems encountered with this kind of container, please click.

Price:

Php for 699.00. This isn't a reasonable price considering its minimal effect in diminishing dark circles.
