AvonAnew Platinum Instant Eye Smoother, for Instant Results on Eye Bags, Wrinkles and Puffiness, 15ml

There are products out there which cost, at the most from the places I've looked, up to five times as much as this product. These vials contain a lot less of the product than that which is contained within this tube. For a while I swore by another leading brand, which I'd discovered here on Amazon. I thought nothing would match it. Then I saw this in my neighbour's Avon book, and bought it. I tried it. Applying in exactly the same way as the previous product. I waited. Five minutes to be precise. Then I gawked into the mirror. What a result. Better than before. Firmer. Smoother. No dryness whatsoever. And no shine. It works. Really works. The skin tingled just after applying this. Good sign. For whatever scientific reason, it indicates a progress. The timing from application to end result is a little deceptive. This will not gain maximum results after the recommended Avon waiting time of one minute and a bit. And herein lies the problem that so many users are experiencing, claiming after trying it that it doesn't work. At all. This is what I'm seeing when going through each review. Because it states in the instruction leaflet that it should be dry after a minute or so, I can only think that the majority of those people trying this product out are seeing very little change in the area around the eyes, after this short time. Assuming dryness, the temptation to apply another coat might get the better of those hoping for the best. (It will happen. Believe me. ) Applying another coating of the gel over an already half baked initial application is going to result in disaster. Any development of the first coat will be hindered by the second coat going on. Within minutes, the whole eye will develop into an area looking as if white chalk dust has been slapped over the eye area of the face. I'm almost positive too, that a reapplication will involve putting a coat of the stuff around the eye at quite possibly, twice the quantity. Even those users who are experiencing white smudge eye after just one coat, are making one vital mistake. THERE IS TOO MUCH OF THE EYE GEL BEING USED. Use a miniscule amount. I'd suggest around the tenth of the size of a pea. Don't rub...ever. Tap the gel gently into the eye area, it will probably seem that there isn't enough of the gel being applied. There is. Repeat this process on the other eye. Gentle dabbing onto the area. Never rubbing or smoothing the lotion in. Then wait. As I said, five minutes. I think all those who already decided to write this off, shall now be experiencing totally different thoughts and approaches to the próduct. Now then. Here's the thing . If after completing this application,anybody feels that there may be still a little room here and there for improvements , then reapply over the first coat in exactly the same way. Don't use any more of the gel. The same amount maximum I'd suggest, decreasing to a little, even lesser amount to suit.Used in this way, this little gem is worth £8.99 of my money any day. It lasts for a long time, or less, depending on how often it is applied. When the result is achieved though, I guess most satisfied users will make this a daily ritual. I do. Just remember the vital and key application process. Tiny amounts of the gel, dabbing and never rubbing, and a little patience to see a fantastic result. This is truly remarkable and without its finding its way to me, I think I'd be feeling old(er). People who know me tell me I look well, and somehow rejuvenated. People who might need to determine my age from time to time, look surprised when it transpires that I'm 55 years old. Most assume 40 to 45. Thank you Avon for develping this beauty. And thank you Amazon for getting it right here to me.Oh, and by the way, and not that it should make any difference, I am MALE.

This is a very good value product. Only use a small amount though, smaller than you think. If you use a larger amount, it can flake under makeup.

Works every time

Put a little on - felt stiff and horrible but had no effect on tightening the skin under my eyes. Added a little more, still no difference. Added more and ended up with a load of white, flakey lumps under my eyes (which, apart from that, still didn't look any tighter). Does not "shrink" or "tighten" the skin, as far as I can tell, just make the skin stiff, so when you smile it creases and if you add too much it flakes and looks awful. Absolute waste of money - don't bother with this stuff. Stick to hemerhoid cream, applied sparingly and not too often.

I have used this product before and I never had any major issues with.it so long you follow instructions and .take time or have time to apply it properly

Brilliant - can’t live without it

Used a very small amount which didn't make alot of difference ,use more and you get flakey bits that have to be picked or wiped away with a tissue before you can put makeup on.not impressed.

I really wasn't expecting this to make any difference so I bought two different ones. Used Avon lane on new eye and another one on the other. My goodness the Avon one actually works ,I'm really surprised..I have some really droopy skin and bags under and above my eyes but as suggested by another buyer I put a really thin layer of moisturizer over my eyes and allowed it time to sink in properly. I then put a thin layer of anew on my bags and waited. After about 5 minutes I looked and my eyes were nocitably tighter and brighter. Even my partner noticed the difference. No white Mark's at all. All I can say is try it and thank you Avon.
