Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni

I have to admit that I have more of an issue with lines around my eyes than puffiness but I was interested in trying this nifty new product containing vitamin B and caffeine just to see what would happen. I wanted the “refreshed, awakened eyes” promised in the instructions on the side of the box.

Testing the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller:

I gently rolled this serum under my eyes from the inner to outer corner as instructed. It felt so cool and soothing that I kept doing it for longer than the one or two times recommended. There was no change in the look of my under eye area even after three days.

Then I came to the realization that I’d have to make my eyes actually puffy and tired looking in order to give this product a fair chance. What better way to do that than a whole night of drinking wine, listening to loud DJ music and chasing down model/waiters for hors d’oeuvres at The Gap’s VIP shopping event a few weeks ago (readers – please know that I will always sacrifice myself and take one for the team when it comes to testing new products and writing up an honest review).

That did it – I had the required bags and puffiness the next morning. The roller ball felt so good when I used it to smooth down the puffiness and my make-up went on neatly after that.

Did I see any results?

I did see a subtle improvement in the puffiness. It seemed to really work. The dark circles weren’t totally gone, but they looked somewhat better after a few days and my concealer did a great job on that as well.

Would I buy it? I would use it during the party season in November and December or if puffiness became a full time issue.

Would I replace my current eye product? No – I really need something more hydrating at this stage in my life, but this is certainly a good little fix to use as needed.

The Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller retails for $18.99 CAD/$12.99 USD
