The Eye Balm Intense - Bálsamo Contorno de Ojos

Good hydrating eyecream

First I have to say as an expensive eye cream, I did not see any immediate effect on improving things. But the good thing is this eye cream prevents things from getting worse. I use it to calm my skin whenever I pulled an all-nighter, and my eye definitely looks different if I don't use it.

Helps with certain health issues

Was skeptical, weary of the price point, but read 1 Review which especially caught me eye. Having a particular health issue which causes excessive eye puffiness, I purchased based on someone else’s comment that nothing really helped her in the past, except this one. This product most definitely has helped me, and I was spending about the same amount in other eye products. This does dry me out somewhat, having to add back additional hyaluronic acid, however the puffiness is greatly reduced.

Not Hydrating

Absorbs well, good under makeup. Not hydrating enough though. I have to apply another cream when I need hydration. Not worth the $$$!

Not worth the hipe

Not cruelty free and palm oil as an ingredient? No, thank you

Best eye cream

This is the best eye cream. I am 51 and this eye cream has firmed my upper eyelid. It has also diminished fine lines. I have uses several other eye creams and this eye cream is by far the best. Well worth the money!

At worst…

Used it for two weeks— I’m 43, so I started to care for my skin. Overall, I don’t have issues with dark bags under eyes, only a few fine wrinkles. But after two weeks or so of regular usage, my skin lost firmness and feels loose!!!! And wrinkles are more visible. Maybe, I’m too young for this product. But why would even someone with older skin want to lose elasticity and firmness.

Love, love, love…La Mer. It’s been my bff ever since I had emergency neurosurgery on my neck and was left with a big thick scar. The concentrate was brought to me by a neighbor and that thick scar was GONE in 3 Months or daily use. I just this past 2 months bought both La Mer eye creams/balms and I also see fast results with that always amazing and memorable smell

overall, it is a good eye cream

I’ve been using this for years and it does improve the overall eye area. The eye area is less puffy and it diminishes the looks of wrinkles. However, it does not provide enough moisture during drier months. So I do use a thicker eye cream(Fresh Ancienne) during the drier months. Hence, the 4 stars instead of 5.

Extreme Allergic Reaction

WARNING!!!!! just because La Mer is a well known luxury skincare line does not mean their products are for everyone. I used this eye balm for about a week and I am now having the worst allergic reaction that is causing my eyelid skin to swell up… burn… dry and flaking… darken. Be very very very careful with their products. I definitely won’t be using anything by La Mer again. You have been warned…

A Major miss.

There are some La Mer products that are absolutely, worth the high price point. This is Not one of them. I received it as a luxe sample item, and used it for just over a week. In that short period of time, it has dried out my eye area, making wrinkles more prominent, and caused puffiness, to seem exaggerated. It’s a uniquely bad product that can both dry out and wrinkle, as well as puff up, the area. Steer clear, find something else. This one is a major miss, as La Mer products go.

doesn’t do a whole lot

This moisturizes around the eyes but doesn’t do a whole lot else. And I prefer the texture of the eye concentrate. The texture of this feels chalky to me for whatever reason. I do appreciate that this isn’t heavily scented like most other la mer products but that I guess is it’s only redeeming quality.

No to both la mer Eye creams

la mer is amazing when it comes to body, face moisturizers and serums but oh boy how did they missed so big on the eye creams i m having trouble to understand- so nope never again both eye creams are such a disappointment they made me write my first reviews !
