Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Eye creams are abundant out there, and I'm always confused about which ones to try. Sometimes I'm wholly disappointed by the lack of noticeable effect, and other times, like now, I am thoroughly pleased. I am a fan of the Olay skin care line anyway, so I wasn't very apprehensive about trying this. The cream is very soothing, and has an instant lightening effect. I believe there's a slight tint that helps add to the brightness. My eyes feel incredibly refreshed after applying it.
User Tips: Use a light hand when applying. Dot it around your eyes with your ring or pinky finger and give it a few minutes to absorb into the skin before applying anything over it. I use this morning and night.
Retail Price: $18.99 (drugstore.com and drugstores everywhere)
