Green People Firming Cooling Soothing Eye Gel


This eye gel from Green People was a Green Beauty Bible Award Winner 2009/2010 so I was really excited to try it. The eye gel comes in a squeeze up tube not unlike a lipgloss, and is a transparent gel designed to be used during the day. The tube contains 10ml of product which might seem tiny (most eye creams are around 15ml) but I've been using it for around 2 months now and still havent made a dent.

'Wrinkle reducing eye gel for tired eyes in need of a lift' - I loved that I wasnt blinded by percentages and crazy statements claiming that I'll have the eye area of a 12 year old after using this. My eyes often feel tired and bleh so this sounded perfect for me plus anything with 'cooling' in its name draws me in. I keep my eye gel in the fridge usually and gently pat some on after I cleanse and tone (eye cream/gel should always go on before moisturiser, I'm sure most people know this already but I'm just throwing it out there). It is seriously cooling, even if not kept in the fridge. My under eye area would marry this eye gel in a flash, I just know it.

As the gel starts to dry you can feel an instant tightening effect, not uncomfortable in any way, shape or form. It instantly makes me feel wide awake and is a great concealer base, theres no 'roll off' like you get with some gel products. If you suffer from skin dryer than the sahara under your eyes then I would say this probably wont be moisturising enough for you, you might need something more intensive.

Eye creams/gels are expensive so when I found out this was only £8.50 I was a happy bunny. Its not going to break the bank and lasts a loooooong time. Green people also do a night version which is a cream and is the same price.

Green People really got it spot on with this eye gel and as usual, theres no nasties in any of the products.

  2. This looks like a great product. I currently use Clinique's All About Eyes, but I'm looking for something new on the market. I'll definitely check this out!

    1. Its great during the day as its nice and light. It'd be great for oily skin. I got Ciniques All About Eyes last year but lost it before I had the chance to try it! lol
