Posted by dulwichmum on Tue 15 February 2011

Name of product: Eye Contour Cream by Laboratoires Filorga Optim-Eyes

Price: : £38.50 for 15ml/ 0.5 fl oz exclusively at House of Fraser Apothecary

The blurb: “Filorga 15ml optim eyes. A treatment with triple action on the eye contour with anti-aging properties thanks to nctf®, a key ingredient of Cosmesotherapie®. Stimulates fibroblast activity, improving tissue slackening and filling lines. Anti-dark pigmentation action helps to eliminate dark circles. The eye contour becomes restructured, signs of tiredness fade, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles disappear”

First impressions: This is more a thickish ointment than a cream. Check out the luxurious packaging! With one twist of the body of the bottle, the pump dispenser rises up from the middle like Marilyn Monroe from a cake in Camberwick Green. This form of packaging keeps the cream clean and free from finger contamination, important since this is a long-lasting product

Ease of Use: It was non greasy as I applied it, perhaps rather too generously around my eyes. It smells lovely like a garden of orange blossom on a May morning. When applied, it refreshes instantly and, importantly, does not interfere with the application of make-up. My concealer was still in place hours later and had not clogged at all. To me, this is an important benefit of this product. The eye cream provided continuous moisturisation without greasiness for several hours and was pleasant and simple to use. Its effect on dark circles can only be judged in the longer term, however – I will keep you posted!

Pros: Good, hygienic packaging, easily absorbed, not greasy, did not interfere with eye make-up, smells divine

Cons: None, really

Value for money:. Good value for money. I would definitely use this again, but I will keep you posted about its claims to remedy dark circles and fill lines

Dulwichmum verdict: ★★★★½

Stockists: Exclusive to House of Fraser Apothecary
