ESpa 24 Hour Replenishing Eye Moisturiser

I was trying to buy the Korres eye cream that Kate from Drivel About Frivol wrote about in this post when I bought this one. The Korres one is discontinued, and a hundred readers and commenters on Kate's blog cried. I went to Liberty to try to hunt down a tube of the Korres, and ended up at the ESpa counter after having no luck with my original mission.

I've never bought anything from ESpa before, although it seems like the kind of brand I'd like (although I'd avoid the toners, which have alcohol in them.)

This eye cream is light enough to sink in quickly without causing any puffiness, and it is very good at long-lasting hydration. I find fine lines are minimised for the whole day with a morning and evening application, living up to the 24 hour hydration claim (and my skin is naturally quite dry and fine around the eyes, so that's impressive). I have noticed some improvement in dark circles after a month of use; it hasn't magically faded them into nothingness but I look well-rested, even if I'm not.

At £35 for 25ml the price is quite reasonable too. I still wish I'd been able to try Drivel Kate's magic eye cream (discontinued) but this one isn't half bad at a very good price compared to some eye creams on the market.
