Be Beautilicious: Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream

Due to my dry skin, signs of early aging have started to show up a bit here and there. Expression lines have become prominent, fine lines under eyes.. whenever I smile or when I don't they stay there .. I was looking for a solution and stumbled upon Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream - Rs 549

This is one brand which has never disappointed me, thus I didn't think twice before picking it up. It claims of showing visible results in one week.

It has Accelerated Retinol SA, a unique combination of the following ingredients - Retinol SA, Glucose Complex and Hyaluronic Acid - brought together to create the fastest retinol formula available.

Retinol is pure and active Vitamin A. This allows it to repair and stimulate collagen and elastin, creating firmer, smoother skin. 


I have been using it for a month now, twice a day and would like to list what I have observed:

The Good

  1. It is very light cream, easy to spread and does moisturize the eye area. Provides a good base for concealer (If you use any). It gets absorbed into skin quickly.
  2. It hasn't caused any breakouts, white heads/ Milia around my eye area. It doesn't sting if gets into eye. 
  3. Has visibly reduced fine lines after prolonged use.

The Bad
  1. It has not shown any result in initial one week, however after continuously using it for a month I can see smoother under-eye area. I don't have crow's-feet issue so can't really comment whether it would be beneficial for those who have.
  2. It hasn't brighten up the area around my eyes or can say done nothing to whatever darkness I have around my eyes. I was hoping that it would fade away the dark circles.

Overall thoughts
This product is not a complete FAIL but yes doesn't do what it claims. Don't expect miracles. If you are looking for a decent under eye cream which can provide hydration go for it.

My Ratings :2.5/5

Have you ever came across a miraculous eye-cream?????
