Aveeno Fresh Essentials Anti-Fatigue Eye Roller Reviews

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.

    I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes, making me look tired all the time. I can usually hide them with concealer, but this product still made me excited because it means I won't have to use as much concealer or apply it so carefully every day. Of course, this problem isn't easily solvable since the dark circles appear naturally. I've used eye creams and rollers before, but they either produce no effect or give me a rash. :(

    Upon receiving this in the mail for the Product Review Club, I was even more excited because the packaging is darn cute! It almost looks like a roller tube of fruity lip gloss. I find it very therapeutic to apply. The metal roller felt smooth and cool on my eyes, which did help to wake me up. The smell was very pleasant and made me feel happy, almost like aromatherapy! After applying, there was a bit of tingling under my eyes, but the tingling went away after applying for a few days.

    I've used this product twice a day (once in the morning, once before bed) for two weeks. Unfortunately, my puffy eye circles did not go away, nor lessen whatsoever. I was disappointed (though not surprised) and I would not purchase this for $20. However, it is fun to use and provides a nice sensation on your skin, as well as your mood!

    I received this product through the Product Review Club and was excited to give it a try. I've long been a big fan of many of Aveeno's product since they are always reasonably priced and use quality, natural ingredients.

    What I appreciated about this product was the light, pleasant scent and the cooling effect of the metal ball roller. Using this first thing in the morning was quite refreshing. It was quick and easy and a simple addition to my morning beauty routine.

    After using it for two weeks, I can't say that I saw much of a change in my under eye circles. I don't really have any puffiness, so can't comment on this.

    Did this product take the place of my undereye concealer? Unfortunately, no. That's why I chose not to recommend it. It's not something I would buy once the one I have is done.

    I got to try this product through the Product Review Club. Thanks!

    Here's what love about the product. I love it's easy to use applicator, the texture, the easy absorption of the product and the coolness of the metal ball on your skin. The metal really wakes you up in the morning. For this reason, I'd probably only use this in the morning.

    The thing is I don't like about this product is the fact that I don't believe it did anything for my under eye area except moisturize it. It did not help make me look more awake, or help decrease the darkness of my circles or the puffiness either. For this reason, I would probably not recommend this to others for it's anti-fatigue benefits. I do like the metal ball applicators a lot though and do like the moisturizing properties. For that reason I would probably buy it to use as an eye cream.

    Hope this helps someone out!

    I have a sleep disorder and always appear tired (I cannot regenerate energy). As a result I have dark purple underneath my eyes, and my under-eyes become very puffy.

    The Aveeno Anti-Fatigue eye roller helped with the puffiness. The coolness of the ball applied on my under-eyes was very soothing. Not perfectly, but noticeably enough that I was happy with it!

    The dark circles were not in any way diminished. I really hoped they would be, even slightly. They were not.

    Unfortunately, my concealer did not sit well overtop the product... even when the product was completely dried, the two did not mix well.

    I found one swipe of the anti-fatigue roller produced too much product and the skin became overly wet. I found it best to swipe under half my eye, and then smear the excess across the other half with my finger.

    I saw these selling for $25, and it’s not something I would spend that much on if the only effect I get is less puffiness. I am personally more concerned with the dark circles I have than puffiness. My glasses hide puffiness, but you cannot hide dark circles.

    If puffiness is your problem, this is fantastic! If you are more concerned with dark circles, perhaps skip this product.

    After using this product daily for a couple weeks, I didn't notice any change at all to my undereye skin. I feel that there was not a noticeable immediate result either that made my eyes seem more awake. What I did like about this product was its scent (though that has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the product), as well as the way it felt when the cool metal of the applicator ball touched my skin early in the morning. I would not, however, recommend this product nor would I purchase it for myself.

    I got this as part of the Product Review Club and I was really excited to try it. I got it just before I would be attending the Diet Coke TIFF party, so I knew that the enxt morning would be perfect for a test drive.

    When I put it on, I liked how the metal rollerball - it felt cool on my tired, puffy eyes. I also felt a tingly sensation. I think it did help with the puffiness first thing in the morning.

    However, the bad outweighs the good.

    I did not like that it takes so long to dry. With other brands I've used, I put it on and then can pretty much apply concealer right after. This one takes a while to dry, so I needed to change up my routine and apply it, then dry my hair, then do my makeup. Not a huge deal, but anooying when I forget to do it. Once it dries, it also has a bit of a sticky residue which I did not like. I also found that it didn't reduce the colour of my undereye circles - this after using it daily for 2 weeks.

    There areother products on the markey that are better (such as the Garnier eye roller). I would skip this one!

    First of all, thank you product review club!
    As someone who suffers from chronic fatigue and insomnia, I was very apprehensive if this product would work, however I was pleasantly surprised. Although it didn't take away the dark circles like I had originally hoped it would, it did take away the puffiness also associated with sleepy eyes. Looking at myself in the mirror, the results didn't jump out at me, however I got several comments on my eyes. My mom also wants to start using this product after seeing the results it gave me. The fresh sent was nice and refreshing, as was the cool solution. I used it twice a day after washing my face in the morning before applying make-up and then again at night before bed. Overall, I like this product and plan to continue to use it.

    i got a chance to try this product out and i love aveeno products! it smelled really nice and natural and was very compact and easy to use. i have very pale skin so i tend to have a lot of grey/bluish tones under my eyes. it was very easy to apply and didn't have a greasy or chemically feel to it which i really liked! it obviously doesn't work miracles but i did notice my under eyes looked a bit refreshed and had a nice glossy tone to it. it works really well as a base under concealer and powder and i would use it as an overall part of my daily routine. i've heard it's quite expensive but i might buy it combined with a sale and a coupon. great product to try out!

    I have to say thank you again for giving me this product to review! It came at a really good time too, since I've been getting a bit less sleep these past few weeks and the bags under my eyes can get pretty dark.
    To be honest, I didn't expect huge results from this (like banishing puffiness/dark bags) so I'm not disappointed. This doesn't affect the darkness around my eyes at all, and it only helps with puffiness a little bit. But aside from that, this product does deliver a decent cooling sensation, and that definitely helps wake me up when I'm still feeling tired. The coolness lasts for at least a minute and it perks me up while also being kind of soothing.
    I like the size of the bottle this comes in - it's perfect for throwing into my makeup bag or purse and not taking up any room. Plus the roller ball makes this convenient and mess-free, you just swipe it on and go. The gel/serum goes on pretty evenly and sinks in fast, leaving pretty much no visible trace of it being there so you don't have to get any product on your hands.
    I was kind of surprised by the scent of this - it has a sweet smell that reminds me of berries, and it lingers for a little while. I do like it, but at the same time I could also do without it.
    The price of this is a bit high for me to actually purchase for myself, considering it doesn't give any amazing visible results. I do like how the product feels though, and the convenience of it. I would recommend to others and/or buy this for sure if it were a bit cheaper, just to use as a little pick me up when my eyes feel tired, but I don't think it actually "reduces the look of puffiness or dark circles" very much like it claims.

    First of all I would like to thank Chick Advisor for the opportunity to try this product.
    I have two small kids and it means sleepless nights. So puffiness and dark circles my common problem. I was so exited to try this product and really want it to work, but the result for me was a bit disappointed.
    I like nice fresh sent and light texture of the cream. Metal roller gives you cool and refreshing feeling. After using this product for almost two weeks I noticed that it decreased the puffiness under my eyes, but not as much as I wanted and not really helps with my dark circles. The price seems a bit high for me, but it will last quiet a long time.
