Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller Gel

Professional reviewers give Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller Gel the thumbs-up for its innovative applicator and active ingredients. Users also praise the metal roller-ball applicator for its cooling effect and for soothing tired eyes. Reviewers say that the massaging action reduces swelling, while the caffeine might help to drain excess fluid. Beauty expert and author Paula Begoun is skeptical, though -- she insists that there isn't any solid research to back up these claims. Users at MakeupAlley.com and Amazon.com have mixed opinions, with about half saying that the gel provides instant results and half saying it does nothing for puffy eyes or dark circles. Begoun insists, however, that the Eye Roller Gel is a good moisturizer for all skin types and that the light-reflecting particles it contains may help to camouflage both dark circles and puffy eyes. The result is merely cosmetic, though. If you prefer an eye cream designed specifically for dark circles, reviewers suggest Olay Definity Illuminating Eye Treatment (*Est. $26 for 0.5 oz.).

We found the most reliable review for Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller Gel at Beautypedia.com, Paula Begoun's online database where she reviews hundreds of eye creams and rates them based on the effectiveness of their ingredients.
