Soap & Glory™ Supereyes, Supereyes™ Wide Awake Lifting Eye Gel Review

 I was in Boots about a fortnight ago with a specific task in mind; finding an eye cream. It's something I've always managed to gloss over. Facial moisturiser? Sure, I'm all over that. That covers all bases, right? But the more I thought about it, the more it occurred to me that my eyes may need a helping hand. Being the mum of a toddler equals late nights and early mornings, and this has taken its toll. My under eyes are puffy, I've succumbed to the wretched dark circles and (eek) I've started to notice the beginnings of fine lines. I decided it was high time I threw myself at the mercy of the skin care aisle, and that's where Soap & Glory Supereyes, Supereyes and I met.

SuperEyes, SuperEyes contains a Snake–Venom simulating age fighting Tripeptide complex, along with their SWIFTLIFT™ technology and caffeine. These ingredients are said to firm, regenerate and tighten. Sounds promising, right? The product itself is a clear gel, and be warned, you do not get an awful lot of product in the pot. Each dinky pot contains 15ml of product, so use sparingly. I tend to use a cotton bud to apply it, so I only pick up a tiny amount. I dot it around the under eye area, bringing it quite low, almost to the cheek bone, seeing as that's where my baggy areas extend to. I then pop the excess on my eyelid then pat it in. Patting will not only reduce dragging on that delicate skin around the eyes, but will also improve circulation. Double-win. What I noticed immediately after applying was the tingly, warming sensation. Admittedly this was a bit alarming at first, being so close to my eyes, but I also quite enjoyed it, it makes it feel like the gel is doing something. 

The eye area appears brighter and smoother. It hasn't completely eradicated my dark circles, but they certainly look better, I don't fear looking at myself first thing in the morning quite as much. Also, my eye area seems to look perkier, if there's such a thing, possible bag reducing qualities at work here? I wouldn't say it's done anything in the way of minimising lines, but it’s a good starter product for those that aren't concerned about ageing just yet. 

Would I repurchase? I could see myself buying this again. I’m impressed with the effects it has had on my tired eyes. I would not recommend it if you are looking for a heavy duty wrinkle solution, but if looking fresher and ‘lifted’ is your goal, this little pot may well do the trick. However, whether I'll be able to resist straying once I finish the pot is another story entirely, since I have been eyeing (ha.) up a few future contenders already. Astalift Nurturing Eye Cream and Origins GinZing, I'm looking at you!
