Ok so this product is not new to me and I have had it for about 6 months. I can honestly tell you it's a good moisturizer. If your someone like me who has very very dry eyelids than you will probably be in the market for an eye cream. The thing is high end and mid range eye creams can be expensive even in the cheapest store. Previously I was using Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair but it's 55$, so I decided to look for cheap alternatives.
While in WalMart I noticed they had a brand called Equate and basically this is WalMart's beauty brand. The advertisement said to compare the Equate eye cream to the Loreal Regenerist eye cream, which I have tried and liked but found it wasn't as smooth as I would like. The Equate cream is very much like the Loreal cream except its so much smoother it feels so good and absorbs fairly well into the skin. I've tried it with serums and putting it ontop of a heavier moisturizer and that's where it doesn't work so well. Ontop of a serum or primer it absorbs into the skin around my eye and immediately makes my eyes feel softer. But when I add heavier moisturizers (as I said my skin is so so dry) it tends to sit on top, when I put it under it absorbs well and I can layer another moisturizer but my serums don't absorbs as easily.
Over all I think this is a great product for the price and I will purchase it again, the hydrating quality is about 50% of what the Estée Lauder cream was so it's no where near as luxurious or fulfilling but if you find you need your 50$ to be spent somewhere more practical than on an eye cream, the Equate brand is not such a bad deal. I wish it had the properties of the Regenerist because as a firming and anti aging product I don't see any changes but as a basic eye cream that de-puffs baggy eyes it's fine.
