Hit or Miss: Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

You know how everyone (especially girls) seems to have at least one spot on their body that they consider their “problem area”? Hello, my name is Joanna and my under-eyes are my problem area. Blame it on genetics; blame it on lack of sleep… whatever the excuse, I have them, and they are bad. They age me, they make me self-conscious, and they make me look constantly “worn out”. Because of this, it probably comes as no surprise that I am always on the hunt for a good eye cream. I have tried tons of them, but one that was continually on my “to-try” list was the Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado. The reason it took me so long to try this was because it doesn’t have any anti-aging or de-puffing qualities to it; it’s just for hydration. Because my under-eyes are so bad, I always go for the eye creams that promise all sorts of magic, which is probably why I always ended up passing this by.

I finally decided to try it on the back of my hand at the store, and I fell in love. It’s super creamy, and quite thick, but it blends out to an almost watery consistency, that somehow seems to both de-puff and brighten my under-eye area. Now, I’m not promising that it’s not just placebo effect, especially because this eye cream isn’t necessarily supposed to do those things, but it’s definitely something that has kept me grabbing for this eye cream over all of my others for the last month.

I apply this morning and night, after my cleanser and toner and before my face moisturizer, and it has gotten to the point where I feel odd without it. Its thick, creamy, green goodness has become part of my cleansing ritual, and I miss it on the nights where I try other eye creams instead. If you are young and looking for something that’s purely hydrating without all the other mumbo-jumbo, this eye cream is definitely for you. If you are into the mumbo-jumbo (hi, self) then this eye cream is still probably for you. I love it.

This will be known hence-forth as my “favorite eye cream to use when I just want something that works, or else can’t be bothered to select a specialized eye cream for the night”. I highly recommend this product and deem it a hit!
