First Botany INTENSIVE WRINKLE FREE ANTI AGING EYE CREAM #FBEYECREAM


I was contacted recently to do a review on this eye cream in exchange for my honest review and opinion.

The size is small and compact.  You get .5 oz in a nice little pump dispenser.



The directions say to pat a small amount around the eye area once or twice daily. 

Indications
Effective at firming and plumping the skin, quickly reducing the look of fine lines.

Ingredients
Aqua (Water), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Stearic Acid, Glycerin*, Glyceryl Stearate, Squalane, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil*, Sodium Hyaluronate (L), Cetyl Alcohol, Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Pentapeptide-18, Retinyl Palmitate, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Perfluorodecalin, Perfluoroperhydrophenanthrene, Perfluorohexane, Perfluorodimethylcyclohexane, Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*, Tocopherol (D-alpha), Tocotrienols, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil, Xanthan Gum, Dextran, Citric Acid, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Phenethyl Alcohol, Caprylyl Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol *Certified Organic Ingredient

The pros -- I really like the way this feels on my eyes - even though I initially panicked when I applied it because the fragrance is quite strong and usually when the fragrance is this strong I usually have reactions.  I had no reactions and actually liked the way it worked quite well.

My only negative was the smell.  It is a little over powering in my opinion and should be a lighter scent especially in the eye area.  I had no rashes or reactions - it was just a bit overpowering.

I will dock it 1 star for the strong smell.  If this is something that is not an issue with you -- I would say go for it.  Even though this is an issue for me I still liked the product very well -- I would just like it much better if the smell was not quite so strong.  I do notive there are a lot of floral oils in it and maybe those attribute to the smell being so strong.  I had no negative reactions except for a tickle in my nose until the smell died down a bit.  This is just a personal preference on my part --

As far as the cream itself -- I definitely recommend it.  Very moisturizing, and also gives a tightening feeling to the eyes.
