Olay Regenerist Eye Derma-Pods.
24 pack x 0.5ml each. 8 week course.
Currently £17.48 from Amazon.co.uk with free delivery.

*The promises:

- a triple action anti-ageing system for eyes. Radiant, dramatically younger looking eyes;
- resurfaces the skin's appearance: the gentle exfoliating pad helps regenerate surface cells;
- reduces puffiness: massage removes excess under-eye fluids;
- fills lines and wrinkles with microspheres

Dosage: For best results, use 1 pod for both eyes; to be used 3 times a week. Dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.

*My reality:

I am not a fan of the new Olay products and the same goes for this one. Here is why:

You could use a good cream and apply it with your ring finger by slightly tapping under your eye. Why is this gimmick / ridiculous packaging needed? It's a waste of product and environmental resources.

The "gimmick" in question is a supposedly "innovative" foam pad applicator that allegedly helps to "gently resurface skin appearance", and that the "gentle massage with the applicator encourages under-eye lymphatic drainage for reduced puffiness and revitalised appearance". Yeah, right. The reality is that you squeeze this thing and most of the product still stays in the package. I tried to massage the very delicate area under my eye with it and it SCRATCHED it instead. The feeling was very uncomfortable and I gave up. I tried to gather all cream I could on my finger and massage it like this under my eye instead.

The first and very powerful ingredient on the package is ... "aqua" = water!!! For almost 20 pounds, I'm sure you can do better than that. Another ingredient high on the list is several "dimethicone" variations = silicone! This thing is so cheap, you can buy 500 ml for a quid.

An important question, by the way, is WHY are the ingredients slightly different on the package than on the Amazon list? It's the second time I've noticed such discrepancies with Olay [see my other review of Olay Regenerist Continuous Night Recovery Moisturiser ] Isn't there a set formula of what they put into their stuff and the order/ amount they use?? Or maybe they think consumers are idiots and we won't notice such things?

Better and potentially active ingredients are: niacinamide = a form of vit B, panthenol = the provitamin of B5, caffeine, pentapeptides, tocopheryl acetate = vit E, camellia sinensis = tea, cucumis sativus = cucumber, aloe and hamamelis virginiana water = witch hazel.

I think it is a very uncomfortable product to use. There are cheaper and better products out there. Invest your money in a more honest, if less "glamorous" looking, product.
