Dermalogica Awaken Peptide Eye Gel

Most Helpful Positive Review

Great Everyday Saviour for Exhausted Eyes

I have been using this eye cream for a few weeks now, at least once a day, every day, and I love it. I have tried many different eye creams over the years to try and keep the area hydrated and have found most affordable creams do little and you have to get the high end cosmeceuticals to get a notice...able improvement. Then I tried this eye cream and it changed my opinion. My work is constantly stressful and hectic at the moment and with wearing PPE every shift you just cannot be kind to yourself (dehydrating, sweating profusely in the PPE, long hours etc). So you can imagine the delicate skin around the eyes really shows when you are tired and your face ends up in not great shape constantly. This cream has helped me not look so much like I have not slept properly since 2019 even though I am lucky to get 5hrs a night. It is light and absorbs quickly, whilst still giving an hydrated feeling to the skin all day. I cannot stand the feeling of any product lingering on my skin and I do not wear makeup so I notice immediately if products feel greasy or present on my face. The texture is a semi-opaque gel creme, that is not too firm or liquidy. You do not need heaps to get a good effect and it spreads well with fingertip tapping without feeling like you are dragging the skin. You can see it start to work on puffy, tired eyes within about 5-10 minutes but it does not give you that tightness of some de-puffing eye creams (hate that feeling). I wear contacts as well so having product that does not irritate, even if you get sweat into your eyes, taking the product with it, is vital for me. This does not irritate and has also gone well under the light matte type facial sun screens you can get now. Have not tried with makeup. Does not have any heavy fragrance to it. Definitely works to reduce the appearance of light fine lines and light-moderate darkness under eyes from normal lack of sleep. Packaging is lovely and you can easy dispense just the right amount, even if you keep it in the fridge, which makes it feel even more refreshing. The only tiny pilling I noticed was when I would try to reapply the cream without first cleansing my face (yes I know bad idea) and if I rubbed my eyes but other than that you could happily reapply a top up at end of hard day if needed in an emergency. Overall definitely recommend giving this a try morning or night it definitely worked for me and the amount in the tube is good value for the price
