Description

From the brand known for harnessing the powers of innovative ACTIVE NATURALS® technologies that combine the very best of nature with the power of science, Aveeno has created a new facial skincare line to help combat the many environmental factors that cause stress to the skin: Fresh Essentials. From poor diet and sun exposure, to a hectic lifestyle and lack of sleep, simple everyday stresses can rob the skin of essential nourishment and hydration, resulting in noticeably tired skin that looks dehydrated and dull.

The Fresh Essentials Anti-Fatigue Eye Roller infuses delicate undereye skin with ACTIVE NATURALS® anti-oxidant Southernwood Extract and vitamins A, C & E to combat the look of dark circles, hydrate to brighten eye area, and de-puff the undereye area with its cooling roller ball.

    First off, huge thanks to the Review Club for sending this to me to review!

    Now, I was a bit skeptical that this product would do anything for me. I have light-medium dark circles (depending on my sleep schedule... or lack there of) but don't suffer from puffy eyes; I get the opposite, sunken in eyes. Cute...
    Anyhow, I used this product religiously at least twice a day, and am very happy to say I have seen positive results. Not huge ones, but small differences. I love how this isn't just a "treatment' but that it actually moisturizes. I found that it did help reduce my under eye circles, but only a by a bit. Enough that I noticed it, but... I still need a bit of concealer so, yeah.

    Overall, this is a not bad product. I say look for it on sale.

    I was lucky enough to be selected to try this product out, and I am glad that I did

    I do have dark circles under my eyes occasionally and I was excited to try this out. I do have to say I was surprised at how small the actual product itself is, I half expected something larger. The scent of the product is nice and soothing, and the cool metal ball feels amazing under your eye and is a great pick-me up in the morning - I have been using this in the morning before applying my makeup

    I did notice a difference within the first couple days with the dark circles under my eyes, the price of the product is fairly average in comparison to other similar products offered that promise the same effects. I would recommend this to anyone with a light to moderate problem with dark circles - as it does not really eliminate the problem completely but it definitely makes it less noticeable in my experience. Thank you for allowing me to try this out and I look forward to continuing to use this product!

    *I received this product as a sample
    The design of the product is similar to other under-eye rollers, a stick design with a small metal ball on top that dispenses the product evenly underneath your eyes with a swipe.

    Pros:
    - Small; Portable
    - Easy to use
    - Gentle, light scent

    Cons:
    - Not a significant difference to appearance of minor under-eye circles

    All-in-all:
    This product is good in terms of reliving your eyes, however I did not see much of a difference to the darkness under my eyes (I barely had any bags though). Through the eyes of a 19 year old, this product is not a must-have. However it does feel nice to put it on in the morning after a long weekend evening if you know what I mean :)

    I often have problems with dark circles and bags under my eyes and was a bit skeptical about how good this product would actually work but I was pleasantly surprised. I definitely noticed a difference in look of my under eye skin. It worked really fast and noticed an improvement after the first use already. It doesn't completely take away the dark circles and bags 100% but it does an amazing job and will continue to use this product.
    The roller ball is nice and cool when you put it on and the liquid dries very quickly. And bonus this stuff smells really great too.

    Thank you chick advisor for the opportunity to try out this product! I really enjoyed this one and probably would not have tried it on my own, so thanks! :)

    I received this eye roller as part of the product review club. I actually like it a lot. It's easy to use, and works really well to get rid of puffy eyes. One morning my eyelids were going a bit crazy...i think they were partying all night without my knowledge...so i tried putting some of this on there...in a couple minutes we were in working order and i was just about good to go. My only complaint would be that it doesn't seem to fade dark undereye circles like it suggests it will, but it does provide a good basis for putting concealer on top if you need to. That being said, i would still buy it for the de-puffing action. Also it smells pretty good and is kind of fun to use.

    I tried to wait until the last possible moment to review this one because I really wanted to give it a chance to work. I'd love to say that it's a miracle worker but it's really just another drugstore product for eyes. It's not awful, but not great. I did notice that my eyes really do look less tired (I don't have to use white eyeliner on occassion anymore lol) but I wouldn't say that the dark circles disappear. I still need a smidge of concealer.

    This stuff smells great and feels soothing when rolled on. Truth be told, I've used a Garnier eye product and gotten exactly the same results and if I recall correctly it's 1/2 the price. So I'm very thankful to have been able to test drive this product but I don't think I'd purchase it on my own. That said, it is decent and does still address the puffiness and tired-look that we all sometimes get. So it's all about preference! I'm neutral about this one.

    I got this product through Chick Advisor (thanks!!) to test out. I tend to have pretty dark circles under my eyes and suffer from a little puffiness (for context on effectiveness). Previously, I've used the Garnier eye roller. The Garnier one smells worse and costs more.

    I've found that with persistent use, there will be SOME reduction in darkness and puffiness. However, it does not work as advertised (this seems to be true of all eye rollers) which in the instructions implies it works instantly. Note that in the short term, you WILL LOOK WORSE. This is not something you apply before make up or going out. This is something you apply an HOUR before going out, and when you come home. The more often you apply the better the results seem to be, but again, it is no good as a last minute touch up or for serious under eye issues.

    Bottom line: smells nice, works relatively well in the medium-longish term, and cheaper than some alternatives. If you have light darkness and a bit of puffiness it'll help, but I doubt it'll mitigate serious issues, or get you anywhere near what the girls in the ads look like.

    First off: Thank you to Chickadvisor for allowing me the opportunity to try this product!!!

    I liked the feel of the product going on, it was a very cool sensation and made it feel like my undereyes were instantly deflating. In reality, my undereyes did NOT deflate that quickly, though they did eventually - it took an hour or two after I got up for them to deflate to a reasonable appearance. I don't think the cream in this eye roller did that, but I do know that it's made my undereyes noticeably softer. My makeup goes on smoother now because of it!

    I was hoping the eye roller would help with my dark circles too... it seems to have helped a tad with continued use, but it hasn't done enough for others to notice the change. Maybe if I continue using it twice daily as the package states it will improve my dark circles more... they have improved some, but it's a very small amount. I'm happy it's improved them at all even if it was a small amount; that's better than a lot of similar products out there!

    I don't like the price of this product; from what I understand it's about $20 for the roller, but it seems like it would last me the better part of the year so it might be worth it after all, depending on whether my dark circles improve significantly.

    I loved the fragrance... it was very natural, floral and soft. The roller was very easy to use and the cream dried within 30 seconds, so I didn't have to delay putting my makeup on.

    Overall I like the feeling of it but I probably wouldn't recommend it to a friend (unless I see a marked improvement, and if I do, I'll update!) only because there are cheaper brands out there that seem to work better.

    Update:

    It's week two of using this product, and I've started to see a great improvement! Hooray! My dark circles have decreased by almost half... I don't think I need much concealer, if any, anymore! There is a lot of tingling when I use it, but I don't mind. The first time I experienced the tingling was three days ago... I used it right after a shower. OW!! I haven't used it after a shower since then and I'm still feeling the tingling but it's not nearly as bad as the first time I felt it. It's tolerable and very invigorating.

    Even for the $20, I'd buy it. This product helps. A lot!

    I received this product through the ChickAdvisor review club.

    The first thing I noticed upon application was the refreshing, cool feeling. It felt amazing especially on warm days (and can be quite tempting to apply again and again, as others have mentioned). Actually, it reminded me exactly of the cold stones sometimes used during a spa facial. Applying the rollerball is almost therapeutic and very relaxing. It has a nice light scent, which is pleasant and not overpowering. It wasn't sticky or greasy at all and I was able to apply my undereye concealer over it. I didn't notice a huge difference in puffiness, but I think my eyes looked a bit brighter after application...and this product did not irritate my sensitive eyes. The packaging is nice and easy to throw in a purse. Overall, it's probably not a necessity but if you have some extra $$, it is definitely a nice treat!

    Hello Ladies,

    You are going to LOVE this product! My favourite part about it is the metal ball that is used to administer the product to your eyes - very effective!

    It's small, compact, and smells great. Plus, it leaves a nice, tingly feeling under your eyes. I have been using it every morning and night for the past week, and I have noticed a difference in the look of my bags! They have been diminishing in prominence.

    I definitely recommend this product to all of you lovely women, and my friends have already taken a keen interest in buying this product the next time they get a chance! You won't regret trying it!
