Advantages: Smooths, brightens, moistirises, fills eye wrinkles

Disadvantages: unsuitable as a make-up base

This product comes in a small stylish white plastic container with a white lid and a black and red logo. Although not widely known, it IS an official Elizabeth Arden 'made in USA' product but the 'Skin Simple' range only costs a fraction of the price! I bought it for around £3.90 for 15ml from Savers (new website: http://www.savers.co.uk), but you can find it online too.

This is a white, quite thick concentrated cream that claims to soothe and smooth the delicate eye area skin with moisture, to help ease the look of dryness and fine lines. It is clinically, dermatologist and allergy tested.

My experience:

I have been using this eye cream for about 2 years now, morning and night, and it's great. It is a thick and a little sticky formula that works as a filler too, so you put a small amount, pat it around the cleansed eye area and you notice an immediate smoothing, 'plump-out' result around your eyes, even at the crow feet. It does not have any fragrance and it is very moisturising, cooling and brightening.

I must say, however, that because it is thick and concentrated, younger people may find it too heavy and opt for the eye gel in the same range. In addition, if you plan to wear heavy eye make-up, it is not a very good make-up base.

Summary: It's great for mature skin
