When it comes to eye creams, the market is brimming with lofty promises and price tags to match. But Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior Eye Gel stands out as a rare gem that actually delivers on its claims, at least in the short term, making it a delightful addition to any skincare arsenal.
What is it?
Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior Eye Gel is a gel-based eye cream designed to plump, brighten and intensley hydrate the eye area.
What Do I Think?
Hydration is where this product truly shines. The texture is rich but lightweight enough to absorb quickly, leaving the delicate under-eye area plumped and fresh without feeling greasy. The moisturizing power alone is enough to soothe tired, parched skin and makes it a brilliant base for makeup. And for those of us who like a little immediate gratification, the cream smooths out fine lines with a soft-focus effect that holds up impressively throughout the day. No, it won’t erase crow’s feet forever – the +Retinol Firming Eye Cream is much better suited for that – but as a temporary fixer-upper, it’s undeniably effective.
One of Kate’s favourite tricks with this product is to mix a small dollop of it with your concealer before application. It transforms even the most stubbornly cakey formulas into a creamy dream that glides on and resists settling into creases. It’s a genius move for those mornings when your skin feels as tired as you do, and the hydrating formula ensures your under-eyes stay looking fresh well into the afternoon slump.
That said, this isn’t a cheap thrill, and it’s important to manage your expectations. While the Wrinkle Warrior Eye Cream excels at hydrating and smoothing, it’s not a miracle worker for deeper lines or puffiness. But as an everyday hydrator with some clever cosmetic benefits, it’s well worth a look.
Would I recommend?
In short, Kate Somerville has crafted an eye cream that’s as practical as it is luxurious. If you’re searching for a product that pairs skincare and makeup seamlessly, this one is a winner. And the concealer trick looks like it could be a game-changer.
Brands Product Description
A powerful, lightweight eye gel that visibly reduces dark circles, lines, wrinkles and puffy eyes for a hydrated look and feel.
How I Use It
I like this best as an eye cream to use in my morning routine, with something retinol or peptide based at night. I’d simply apply it after serums and before moisturiser.
Would I Repurchase/Buy?
Yes – I liked it as a day time eye cream. However, if I had more concerns about my eye area, I’d probably go for the +Retinol Firming Eye Cream first.
