I am in my late 20's and have a tiny bit of creasing in the corners of my eyes, so I was curious to try the new Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream. I have tried some eye creams in the past but have found them too greasy and heavy or too light with no results. I have combination and sensitive skin so finding a well-balanced eye cream has been hard since my skin tends react to most skin products on the market.

First off the packaging is eye catching and the pump dispenser is very easy to use and pumps out the product in small amounts perfect for the eye area with little waste. The cream itself feels very light but has a bit of weight to it that disappears after the first minute of wearing the product. I have worn the product on its own and under makeup which presented me with zero skin reaction problems. My results have been quite good, my eye area always feel soft and touchable and any early morning puffiness and the very rare dark circle has been banished when applied the night before. I think I will have to keep using the product to determine how well it reduces the appearance of wrinkles. At this point I can only say that my corner eye crinkles have been slightly reduced but only enough that I alone would notice.

I do recommend this product to younger women in the 20's and early 30's who have mild to moderate eye-area first time wrinkles. I have been consistently using this cream as part of my nightly routine ( which does not happen with eye creams very often) plan on buying another bottle when this one runs out!

I was sent this product by the product review club and am sooo pleased that I was chosen! I have been using this cream for almost two weeks and am really happy with it so far.

The dispenser could not be better, I love how it pumps out just the right amount (no mess!), and it's compact and sleek.

I love how the cream is very light with no smell. It does wonders for keeping my skin moisturized in a tough area that I usually have trouble with. It has also greatly helped the dark circles I normally have under my eyes from lack of sleep (although, more sleep would probably help in that area too!)

As for wrinkle prevention, I will need a bit more time to tell. I haven't had much trouble in that area (yet!), but will definitely keep using this product as a preventative measure.

Thanks Marcelle!

I have combination skin which is in fairly good condition but my skin in the under eye area is thinner as I am constantly rubbing my eyes. I also find that as I am getting order that I am getting fine lines under my eyes, especially if I don't drink enough water in the day.

Previous to receiving Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream from the product review club, I was using Roc Retin-Ol which I thought was a great product until I tried Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream! After using the Marcelle product for a week I have noticed a remarkable difference in the texture of my skin below my eyes...especially with smoothly out my skin so my concealer goes on a lot smoother! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. I have only been using it for a week but so far so good and I don't anticipate it continuing to work as well as it has thus far. I highly recommend it!!!

WHAT'S ADVERTISED

This product is designed to "prevent the first signs of aging with this ultra-light and non-sticky cream that penetrates skin instantly; allowing you to apply your make-up immediately.

Enriched with high performance ingredients, this unique care will increase micro-circulation, reducing puffiness and dark circles. It deeply moisturizes and protects the delicate eye contour area."

THE REAL SCOOP

Marcelle is sort of the unheralded Canadian skincare line that is ubiquitous in drugstores across the nation. Until I chanced on one of their other products (Hydra C eye contour gel cream), I had no idea that the quality was actually so good! The packaging is unassuming and I had never thought to give it a try until it was recommended to me.

I'm now a convert because all of their products are hypoallergenic, perfume-free and surprisingly effective. This particular product line "Essentials" is geared towards the demographic of late-20s to mid-30s, with the needs of this age group in mind.

In terms of performance, the Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream is similar to their Hydra-C offering (which has won the "Elle Beauty Grand Prix" for several years in this category), but I will definitely switch to this one now. In addition to instant absorption into the skin and reduction of puffiness under my eyes, I have noticed that the tiny fine lines under my eyes have faded back with this product.

The pump dispenser is a plus in my books, as it allows for hygenic application and storage. A pea-sized amount is pumped out each time, which is enough for both eyes. I have been using this product for a couple of weeks and have not had any issues with the pump. Prior to this, I had actually been using a more upmarket eye gel from MDF, but find the results with this cream to be comparable in effective for about 1/3 of the price!

I will definitely re-purchase this product and am open to trying out the other offerings in this line (and of course keeping you ladies posted about it!)
