Olay Fresh Effects Eye Awakening Cream1

Olay Fresh Effects Bright On Schedule Eye Awakening Cream is one of several brand new Fresh Effects Skincare products launching now at drugstores.

Being an eye cream junkie Olay Fresh Effects Eye Awakening Cream seemed like a great pick up for giving my tired eyes a quickie peek up!

Take a look!

Olay Fresh Effects Eye Awakening Cream at first glance looks like a rollerball treatment but actually it is an eye cream. This comes housed in a squeeze tube and finishes a cooling rollerball head for application. The tri-roller ball actually allows you to massage the cream under your eyes and the coolness from the roller helps decrease natural puffiness due to lack of sleep. This is infused with white tea, cucumber, and most importantly one of the main ingredients is niacinamide aka B3.

Niacinamide has shown some evidence of stimulating cells to produce more collagen as well as improving drier skin by increasing ceramides so it is a handy ingredient to have in your eye treatments and creams.

Honestly, Olay Fresh Effects Bright On Schedule Eye Awakening Cream isn’t a cure all for my aging, drier eyes but it is a nice pick me up in the AM. It’s a cool lightweight eye cream that absorbs easily and leaves the delicate skin around eyes pleasantly moist and hydrated. It also quite good at decreasing some of my less than 8 hours of sleep puffiness! I like this for quickie hydration in the AM but I do need to follow up with a richer eye cream after for a bit more moisture.

If you’re eyes are younger this a nice wake up eye cream! It’ll provide moisture, decrease some puff, and even eyes a nice prep for concealer and other makeup.

Sometimes I’m in a rush and going minimal in that cases this is enough moisture to get me through a busy day and a minimal makeup look! However, I do need something a bit richer if I’m doing a fuller makeup look with heavier concealer etc…!

Olay Fresh Effects Eye Awakening Cream is a nice treat for younger eyes and older ones that want minimal no nonsense eye cream in a snap!

Treat your eyes now at drugstores.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I just added this to my grocery list, LOL! Isn’t it great to find decent beauty products in the supermarket? Seriously, I’ve been using the BB Cream as a primer, and I really like the beaded cleanser for my Winter skin, so this is worth a try. I was using Philosophy Miracle Worker eye cream, and I loved it enough to consider paying $65 USD for the full-size, but toward the end of my teial, I ended up with a serious pimple on my eyelid… This sounds hopeful, though! The MW has been one of the few that haven’t burned/stung my eyes, so hopefully this doesn’t, either.

      yay! let me know how you do with it. I need a little more moisture but this is good quickie eye cream on the go. Did you try the new miracle worker formula? reminds me of a primer 😀 quite good though!

    I always have one of these around; whether it’s Clinique, or Soap & Glory, or whatevs – although I don’t see any kind of difference, I just find that I like the feel of the cool metal surface on the skin under my eyes in the morning. 🙂
