Review (3/5): Heavy, Greasy, Doesn't Absorb - Will Retry In The Winter
I was fully prepared to fall in love with this USDA Certified Organic eye cream. I never use conventional products & am always thrilled to find new organic products. Sadly, as of right now (summer), this cream is no good to me. I am hoping that it will serve me better in the winter.
It is very heavy, greasy, & sticky and it doesn't absorb. It just sits on my skin. My hair & pillow stick to it. I only use a teeny dab, I'm talking teeny tiny, & it is way more than enough to put around both of my sensitive middle aged eyes. This 2 oz. pot will last forever (or at least until it goes bad).
I am a full time eco farmer who lives in a historic late 1700's log cabin. I don't have air conditioning. This means that where I live in the summer the humidity is very very high & it is very hot. This also means that in the winter, my air is very very very dry because I heat my home solely with a wood stove.
I am telling you this because I am hoping that this eye cream will serve me well in the winter when my skin is screaming for hydration. Right now though with humidity & heat is high as it is, this stuff is total overkill. It just feels gross. I put this in the refrigerator in hopes that it will keep long enough for me to try it come winter. Normally, I'd wait to review, but I have reviewer time requirements, so here I am. I will be sure to return to update my review as/if needed.
Note: This is packaged in plastic not glass. I find it so frustrating when organic brands do this.
