Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

I've always had some reservations about Kiehl's products and as much as I love their fuss-free packaging, I end up being somewhat undecided about their products - this Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment is no exception. I was looking for a new eye cream and found myself at the Kiehl's counter at Karstadt one day, and before you know it a Kiehl's salesperson had sucked me into getting this. As I told him that I was looking for an eye cream, I presumed that what I bought was an eye cream, and in my excitement at purchasing a Kiehl's product, I neglected to read the fine print - and as you can see on the tub, the print is indeed rather fine.

So I first started using this as an eye cream, day and night but found it too rich to use twice a day. I did like the fact that when I used it in the mornings the area around my eyes were seemingly brighter but it left it looking a little greasy so I switched to using it only at nights. Only then I read the fine print - more importantly, the directions and it worked significantly. This was alot better to use at night because even though it was still greasy looking on my eyes, I wasn't going anywhere so it was fine. I also used it along the orbital bone as opposed to above it and the next morning my eyes certainly looked hydrated, it did not however made my eyes look brighter than when I wore it in the mornings but it was still hydrating.

I only use this product every few days or so (like a treatment) as it can leave the areas around my eyes a little too greasy when used regularly (I use it at nights only). I think that this is the ideal eye cream if you have really dry areas or have small patches of eczema around the eyes like the Hubs otherwise I'm still on the hunt for my holy grail eye cream.
