its not a ride or die -
On the paper, the ZO intense eye cream looks perfect, and it apparently has a host of fans who love it. It's not a great fit for me though. While it seems very well tolerated and doesn't sting, burn or make my eyes water, it doesn't do anything else. Its texture is a bit too thick, which isn't usually the issue with rich/thick eye creams (think Estee Lauder Re-Nutritiv, Sisleya, Shiseido Benefiance), but ZO intense eye cream does tend to ball up on me; to me, it seems like a thick layer that looks almost waxy under the eyes.<br /><br />In general, with cosmetics there are two kinds of results, one comes from a handful of ingredients that actually do something for skin and improve it (usually over weeks/months, like retinol or glycolic acid) and the other type is when a product just makes skin look nicer (with some pigments, polymers and all the other chemical witchery - the stuff that washes off at the end of a day) - this eye product manages neither for me. ZO Intense eye cream claims it helps with the appearance of dark circles and eye puffiness - and I say, nope, the thicker formula does even enhance the appearance of eye bags and every line and wrinkle.
