Description

  • Vitamin C Eye Brightener by Renée Rouleau is a high-performance eye cream that reduces the appearance of dark circles and undereye puffiness due to lack of sleep, genetics, nose job (rhinoplasty), stress, allergies, and climate. Similar to other dark circle removers, active ingredients include anti-wrinkle vitamins, firming peptides, vessel-strengthening anti-inflammatories and soothing plant extracts. Skin illuminators are also added to visibly reduce dark circles while Haloxyl addresses the main reason for dark formation – insufficient enzyme detoxification process. The result? Brighter, illuminated eyes with less visible puffiness and fewer wrinkles by Renée Rouleau.

      Eye cream

      This is the first product from RR I’m not sure I’m going to keep. I don’t know why but it seems to make my eyes look worse. I’m 63 and have just recently noticed that I’m getting “bags” under my eyes, I thought I’d try this cream since I love all the other products I’ve gotten. I don’t love it. I’m going to continue to use it for another week and if I still feel the same way, I’ll be sending it back. As I said, all the other products I’ve tried, I love, so rather surprised this isn’t helping my issue.

      Hi, Ruth! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Vitamin C Eye Brightener! We're sorry to hear that it hasn't been meeting your expectations so far.

      My #1 Eye Cream

      I’ve been using this for 6 or 7 years now. I have tried a thousand different eye creams, but this remains my favorite. My eye area is sensitive and I can get what look like tiny red pin-pricks all around my eyes, even though I always use gentle products. The Vitamin C Eye Brightener has never irritated my skin, and helps to calm it if it’s gotten irritated by something else. It has consistently kept my eye area hydrated, firm, bright, and glowy. I’m only 42, I haven’t had any wrinkles around my eyes yet, so I can’t speak to whether this cream is especially helpful for that. But it’s definitely a good choice to try for puffiness, dark circles, or sensitivity. (FWIW, if you have similar eye sensitivity, I also highly recommend the Soothing Eye Makeup Remover.)

      Too drying

      I had high hopes for this, as I love the Total Repair eye cream. Unfortunately, it seems to be really drying out my under eye area. I'm only using a small amount, but something in this formulation must not agree with my skin.

      While all skin types can use this eye cream, everyone's experience will be unique, like their skin. You may want to introduce a gentle exfoliator for this sensitive area, such as our Overnight Eye Serum, which can be worn under the Total Eye Repair Creme!

      Not working

      I’ve been using this product for a couple of months and have noticed no effect at all. I still have puffiness and dark circles under my eyes. I’m extremely pleased with my other RR products but this one just doesn’t work on me.
