When I’m not chasing after my two toddlers, I’m staring at a computer screen in drying air-conditioning for hours on end at work. Early mornings are a given, as are late night wake up calls. This hectic lifestyle has taken its toll on my appearance, not more so than on my eyes. When I look in the mirror I see permanent dark circles, bags and puffiness.
When I heard about Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine Eye Roll-On I thought it was worth a try. The packaging is very sleek and stylish. The cute, slim applicator bottle is topped with a steel roller ball which has massaging properties when you roll under it your eyes. The formula is infused with caffeine to stimulate micro-circulation and pro-vitamin B5 to hydrate the eyes.
The applicator is especially comfortable to hold and very easy to apply. The roller ball glides beautifully and feels lovely on the skin. While I did feel some degree of freshness instantly, the effects were actually visible after about a month of use. There has been a considerable reduction in my dark circles, bags and puffiness. My eyes now feel and look brighter and more refreshed. I can apply it in a matter of seconds every morning and feel bright-eyed all day long.
While my life isn’t getting any less chaotic, at least I can feel assured that my eyes are now looking less tired!
I also tried this visually appealing product. Used it for two weeks and developed an eye twitch that didn’t stop until I stopped using this product. I must have had an adverse reaction to one of the ingredients – beware, if your eye starts twitching inexplicably, stop using it.
I started using the eye roller on Christmas Day. Within 24 hours my right eye started twitching ever so slightly, few and far between. But now, 4 days later my left eye twitches every now and then, but my right eye is twitching quite often.
I really hope it stops soon as I have heard great things about this product. I have tried to find out more info on the twitching, to no avail. If anyone has found any info, please let me know!!
Thank you! I too have developed an eye twitch. I started new medication about the same time I started using Ganier and have been bugging my doctor about the twitch, but never thought of the under eye stuff. What a relief. I just tossed it and this resolves things.
I saw the ad on telly and decided to give it a try. Applied it last nite and have no side effects at all. Hope to see results soon.
I’ve been using this product sporadically for the last 6 months with no side effects. However, when they brought out the new improved version (which incorporates a concealer) I began using it as part of my daily beauty regime and guess what…I’ve developed a twitch in both eyes and a real sensation of tightness underneath them which is even tighter when I stretch my eyes wide open.
Anyway, after looking on the internet to try and find out some possible reasons for my newly developed twitch, I’ve found that caffine can cause this sort of twitching. I don’t drink caffine so have concluded that the roll on may be the cause…
I’ve now put both in the bin and I’m hoping the twitching will stop
I’m a mom of four kids always buzy and always up late at nite……I have dark circles around my eyes..at age 34 I look way too tired….I’ve decided to try this product and didn’t had any problem, after a week of use I misplaced it, didn’t use it for about three days and now my eyes would not stop twitching, this is so irritating…….I will not use this product again….:(
