Disappointment: Garnier Eye Anti Puff Eye Roller

OMG- I saw it and had to have it! Garnier Nutritioniste's Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller had the most promising intentions: This apple green pen with a cold silver ball at the end would allow you just swipe on precious anti-eye puffing magical formula and VOILA: It would change the way you looked and felt in the morning. I think I even went to 3 different stores to find it. (Disclaimer: I knew this wasn't going to be a miracle product, but it should do SOME of the things it claims!)

Well it was a BIG FAT waste of money. First of all, I think the main ingredient in it is caffeine: Makes sense, it constricts your vessels and stuff. But I don't want to directly apply caffeine on to my skin because it's just not right. It gets all absorbed into your body and -- just trust me on my instinct it's not good for you. Plus you can't wear it at night if you're sensitive to caffeine.

Secondly, and I have no actual proof, like I didn't do a careful controlled study on this, but I actually think it made my under eye area worse. I can't say exactly how, but I felt like I looked older, the skin under my eyes was more crepe-y.

Thirdly it's $16. That's a lot, I have to say, for what is basically a cold silver ball rolling over your skin depositing caffeine. I stopped using this thing after 2 weeks, and I have been happier since I quit it.

Also, a cold eye mask will have the same effects, TRUST.


No stars.
