How to instantly refresh your skin around the eyes

Do you have dark circles under your eyes or puffy eyes? Does the skin on the corner of your eyes starting to feel wrinkly? Do you have dry skin around the eyes?

Well, here is an instant-helping product against all these problems - the eye roll-on. (Remember that they are supposed to be of instant and current on-the-go-help, not necessarily a problem-solver in the long run. If you are looking for something longer-lasting you need eye creams/ other products and other alternatives.)

I have the one from Sephora's own brand called Instant De-puffing Roll-on Gel. It instantly makes your eyes feel fresh and moist. This is a on-the-go product that you can use whenever you feel dry or not so fresh. I recommend that you use an eye cream or moisturizer first before you apply this. Have this in your hand bag, and touch up whenever you need it. It is pretty fast and easy to use, and gives you a cool and nice feeling after applying. This product is perfect when the weather is hot or the air feels dry. It is also supposed to make your skin feel brighter when you apply it on. The price is pretty cheap compared to many other eye roll-on gels.

There are many other similar products on the market. I have not tried the products below yet, but here are some suggestions.


I found this eye roll-on from Garnier called Anti-dark Circle Eye Roll-on, that is supposed to be against dark circles. It is hydrating and full of caffeine and lemon essence (lemon has brighting elements in it). This roll-on is tinted, which gives you some more color than the other invisible eye-roll ons. This might be better for those of you who have dark circles. It comes in two shades; light and medium. It is allergy tested and non-greasy. This is something I might want to try out when I finish the one I have from Sephora, especially when the price is very fair.

Another product is from YSL called Top Secrets Eye Roll-on Pen. It is supposed to be quickly absorbing, give you radiance, be effective against tired-looking eyes and make your skin around the eyes look fresh and moist. This pen has a exclusive and classy look than the others mentioned, so this might suit for people who like quality of the package. Unfortunately, the price is rather high.

Last, but not least, as Ole Henriksen is one of my favorite brands, I wanted to suggest this eye roll-on called Ultimate Lift Eye Gel Roll-on (which I would love to try). It is supposed to fit all skin types, and comes in a .5 oz/ 15 ml tube. According to the Ole Henriksen's webpage, it is supposed to give you instant eye lift, as the name indicates. Furthermore, it has a cooling feeling when you apply it on, and should reduce puffiness and fine lines. It contains peptides (that should boost production of collagen and elastin to make your skin firm), arginine (works against wrinkles) and cucumber. The price is okay, but it is not the cheapest of the suggested products.
