I was excited to try the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Awakening Eye Balm when it first arrived! The texture is very light and the scent is not too bad. However, when I use this product my eyes were runny and itchy all day. I'm not allergic to anything so I'm not sure what it is about this product that my skin didn't like. While I appreciate the chance to try it out, I don't think its something that I'd buy in the future.

I didn't see any noticeable change in the appearance of my under eye. Used this religiously but still no improvement. Although I like how is spreads evenly in the skin and the scent is so refreshing. But doesn't work at all for me

This was a lightweight eye balm that felt nice and cooling on my eyes, but I didn't notice any difference in hydration or dark circles. To be fair, I don't really suffer from dark circles but I do have dry skin. I honestly felt like it would just make my routine a lot easier to skip the eye balm, because the moisturizer and serum were light enough to use around my eyes.

I wanted to love this. I really did. I received it free from Chick Advisor to try and I am glad I had the opportunity. I have combination skin with fine line and tired mama eyes.
The packaging is lovely and it has a pump, which I love. I feel like too much product comes out in one pump. More than enough to do both eyes and I would blend the rest on the top of my hand. (My hands felt great) The product itself is a pretty blue and the texture is like that of a makeup primer. My skin is au natural most days and after using this product, I feel like it's only good under makeup. It sits on top of the skin, never absorbing in. I tested it by putting it on by itself one day and at the end of the day, it was still sitting on top of my skin, I could still wipe it off. (I applied it using proper direction). It may be great for winter dry skin but for average everyday use, this was a fail for me. I noticed no positive changes in the skin around my eyes.

I was not happy with this product. Being a professional skin therapist, I've use more than a handful of products. This eye product is too sticky and has a heavy feel to it. There is also a scent which is unnecessary. I wouldn't buy this product.

I did not like this product at all. It feels sticky and heavy under the eyes. I did not notice any positive differences. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Also, the added fragrance is unnecessary.

I saw the benefits of moisture, and it didn't bother my skin, so those are 2 good points. However, I didn't really feel or see the effects of reducing darker under eye skin or puffiness. With the higher pricepoint I expected better, and this just wasn't anything special.

I was given a bottle of this eye cream to try but I can't say that I will be replenishing it. One full pump is almost enough for four applications so I was a little disappointed when too much was dispensed. It has a creamy, gel texture so I found that it did not soak into the skin nicely but rather sat on the surface.

I was super excited to try out this eye balm as I am very dry around the eye area. I used the product for three days and then had to stop using it due to irritation/allergic reaction. My eyes became itchy, red and irritated. I'll give you a quick run down of how I felt about it for the time I used it. The balm has a gel texture and a little bit went a long way. It has a bit of a perfume scent but not strong enough to be offensive. I felt that it didn't absorb easily and sat around my eyes in a greasy feeling layer. This wasn't a problem at night but it wasn't ideal for daytime use as my makeup would slip right off! It did feel hydrating but I didn't notice that it did anything for my eye bags. It definitely did not help with puffiness as it irritated my eyes and made them red and even puffier. As soon as I stopped using the balm the itch and irritation went away so I am sure it is the culprit. I don't think this is a bad product, I just had a bad reaction to it!
I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club but my opinion is my own.
