Meet the £80 Eye Cream - Radical Skincare Eye Revive Cream

I'm incredibly fickle when it comes to eye creams.  If I use one up and can't see any noticeable differences, then I'll just switch to another brand and so on.  There are a lot of eye creams which I've tried that I like a lot, but not one that I ultimately love.  So what's my verdict on this latest one I've been trialling?

Although I'm only in my mid-twenties, I already have some fine lines underneath my eyes and have always had problems with dark circles and discolouration.  Whether it's through not getting enough sleep, genetics, diet, or simply staring at screens 24/7, I've come to accept that these fine lines and everything else are here to stay.  Over the years, I've experimented with many eye creams, but have yet to find my holy grail one.  So when I was offered to try out a sample of Radical Skincare's Eye Revive Cream*, I happily decided to give it a go.

Radical's Eye Revive Cream is an all in one anti-aging eye contour which aims to hydrate, reduce puffiness, decrease discolouration and dark circles, and dimish wrinkle depth by up to 50% in 4 weeks.  Those are some pretty impressive claims to make and it comes with an equally impressive price tag of £80 for the full size 15ml.

Here's what I thought after using this for around 4 weeks:-

Hydrating:  Definitely.  The texture of this eye cream is divine; it's rich and feels thick, yet light at the same time.  When you apply it you only need a small amount, and it glides on and feels silky smooth, blending like a dream.  It has a fresh scent that reminds me of cucumbers and I haven't had any issues with dryness around my eyes since using this.

Reducing puffiness: Agreed.  My eyes are always quite puffy first thing in the morning and this helped to soothe them and make me look much more awake than I normally do.

Decreasing discolouration & dark circles:  Not really.  I didn't see any noticeable changes in this area.  It has some kind of brightening quality to it which you can see when you first apply it, but it's not long lasting.

Diminishing wrinkle depth:  As I don't have severe wrinkles, I can't really comment as mine fall more into the fine lines category, but I didn't see any changes for myself.  The eye cream does work as an excellent smooth base to apply concealer over the top, which certainly helped to disguise that they're there though.

Summary

I can't dispute that this is a high quality and simply lovely eye cream.  It hydrates and de-puffs the eye area beautifully and is a pleasure to use.  However, as mentioned above, I didn't see any differences in my dark circles or fine lines being reduced in 4 weeks.  I will use the rest of the sample and make a final thoughts comment in a future empties post.

Radical Skincare Eye Revive Cream is available from Space NK and Harrods.
