New - an anti-aging eye roller from Olay!
I suffer from under eye bags and puffiness in the mornings and I was ecstatic when I received Olay's anti-aging roller for eyes to review. How exciting!
On first glance, I was intrigued. The product is about the size of a marker with small rollers on one end. A couple of clicks on the other end send the fluid to the rollers. Application is easy; just roll on under and around the eye area and then massage with fingertips.
Olay's claim for this product is to "reduce eye puffiness, regenerate skin's appearance to diminish fine lines and wrinkles." So knowing Olay's claim, I used the product everyday as directed and evaluated whether there was any improvement in diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and eye puffiness.
The first thing I noticed was how cool it was on the eye area and found it to be very soothing. Additionally, it is a lightweight and non-greasy formula that quickly absorbs into the skin. It is also a fun product to use and I can see how the rollers can increase blood flow thus reducing puffiness. I had absolutely no skin reaction to the product and I do suffer from skin sensitivity from certain skin care products.
My under eye puffiness usually subsides as the day wears on, however I did notice that eye puffiness was reduced in a minimal amount of time with the use of this product. It is important to note that the directions state that you must massage into the skin for 30 seconds and I noticed you will get better results by doing so.
As far as diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the corners of the eyes (crow's feet, etc) I really can not comment either way.
I have been blessed, and at 56 I have no wrinkles in the corner of my eyes. However the under eye puffiness is my biggest aging skin problem to overcome.
Would I buy the product? I would like to, but at $22.99 it is a little steep for my pocketbook. So guess I will have to stick with my homemade beauty treatments such as rosemary tea bags, cold eye compresses and sweet almond oil for moisturizing to reduce eye puffiness. However, overall I liked the product, the innovative application, and I believe it helped my under eye puffiness. Additionally, I will certainly keep the rollers and use them to apply my other eye care products that I have on hand.
My disappointment was the packaging. In this day and age we should all be a little more environmentally conscious and the packaging was quite large for the size of the product.
