My Experience with The Body Shop Vitamin C Eye Reviver Duo:

The product comes in a bright orange packaging. The packaging is indeed innovative. It features two products – one with the under-eye area and one for the lid. The packaging is pretty easy to carry and easy to use as well. It is sturdy and functional too.

As I mentioned above, this is a two-in-one product. One side features an eye cream, which can be used on the under eye area to brighten up the skin. It can be applied directly with the wand and then can be blended with a finger. It spreads easily and is non-greasy. It has a faint fragrance that does not bother. It gets absorbed easily and can be used under makeup as well.

The other side features an eye gel with a rollerball applicator. It is easy to use but sometimes enough product does not come out in one go. The texture is almost like water and it spreads well. It gets absorbed very easily, leaving the eye area cool and soothed.

The combination of both products freshens up the eye area, leaving it cool, bright and hydrated. My eye area feels soothes and look bright after the application. The product does not treat dark circles at all, but then it does not claim either. Still, the eye area looks radiant for around 5-6 hours.

I feel the product does most of the things it claims but only for a limited period time. I have been using it for a long time now and have not seen any long-term benefits. For example, my eye area still becomes puffy if I do not use this product. The effects barely last 5-6 hours and then the skin starts looking tired or dehydrated again.

Overall, I feel the product is overpriced. It does not deliver any great results whether it claims or not. Even cold aloe vera gel or a frozen green tea bag would deliver more or less the same results, and we all know how much those kitchen products would cost.
