Olay Definity Illuminating Eye Treatment
Eye cream for dark circles
- Camouflaging effect
- Quality ingredients
- Fragrance free
- Slow to absorb into skin
Experts say that dark circles are among the most common eye problems but that they are notoriously difficult to treat without cosmetic surgery. Eye creams that contain light diffusers, like Olay Definity Illuminating Eye Treatment, may be the best option because they camouflage the problem, if only temporarily. Olay's formula also contains many beneficial ingredients (glycerin, niacinamide, panthenol and vitamin E) that provide good nutrition to skin and may, over time, improve the overall appearance of the eye area. Reviewers say that the lightweight lotion has a silky feel that goes on smoothly, but several say that it takes a long time to absorb into the skin. Some say that it is very difficult to apply makeup over the eye cream, but others point out that this may be due to the amount of lotion applied -- very little is needed for effective results. If you prefer a more affordable eye cream, Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum Fragrance Free (*Est. $20 for 1.7 oz.) gets excellent reviews for less than half the price, ounce for ounce. It doesn't contain light-reflecting pigments, however.

Although most reviewers at MakeupAlley.com say that Olay Definity Illuminating Eye Treatment does a good job of brightening the eye area and concealing dark circles, they give it a mediocre overall rating because the formula is mostly cosmetic. Many complain that it doesn't sink into skin quickly enough, making makeup application difficult.

While several reviewers at Amazon.com say that Olay Definity Illuminating Eye Treatment works, several others say that it doesn't do anything for their dark circles. Some users say that while the formula brightens the eye area, it also illuminates fine lines and wrinkles, making them more noticeable.
