Farmacy Wake Up Honey Eye Cream with Brightening Vitamin C Launches with Shady Reviews
Farmacy Wake Up Honey Eye Cream with Brightening Vitamin C is a new brightening eye cream that contains Vitamin C to treat dark circles. This new formula also, contains a blend of hydrating honey to moisturize drier eyes and caffeine to treat puffiness. Farmacy is calling it a lightweight formula that acts as a “dark-circle eraser” and that their clinical studies showed dark circles reduction by 100% in those who used the product. It also contains a cranberry peptide to smooth crow’s feet and fight wrinkles over time.
I happen to love Farmacy skincare but honestly, I don’t always buy into eye creams that promise to completely erase dark circles. I find that debatable. That being said I was very happy to see Farmacy introducing a new eye cream for Spring 2023 but sadly, my excitement died a quick death. I got a text that Sephora just got the item in stock and Rouge Member had early access. Yay! Awesome! I was all prepared to purchase it. It’s $45 a little pricy but I’ve dropped more on eye creams so, I wasn’t too put off by the price. The problem was as soon as I clicked on Sephora’s link I was presented with 274 five star reviews.
Groan.
This totally put me off. Farmacy sent out early releases to a variety of outlets. In return, they asked people to post reviews on Sephora. Great! I’m all about free products and reviews from real people versus youTubers but sadly, these reviews aren’t really helpful at all. It’s just a lot of raving and telling everyone how this immediately cleared up dark circles and puffiness. It totally turned me off and I ended up not purchasing it. I don’t understand why brands do this. Farmacy has a great cult following! I know many of you love their skincare as much as I do. They really don’t have to “buy” reviews with free samples. I think their products speak for themselves. This just seems so shady. But hey, it isn’t only Farmacy doing this. A lot of brands do the same thing lately.
If you check about 99.9% of the 274 reviews were all posted within the last day or 15 hours ago. I should hope these people had the product in their hands at least a month before pouring out their ravings.
Right now I’m a bit salty and won’t be purchasing Farmacy Wake Up Honey Eye Cream with Brightening Vitamin C. Maybe later!
