What do reviews say about CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream?
For the UK Skin Renewing Eye Cream, 77% of participants agreed that wrinkles around the eyes appeared reduced, and 89% agreed that the skin looked smoother. These figures come from a self assessment involving 76 people. A separate instrumental test involving 25 people measured hydration for up to 24 hours. A percentage from a product test is not a star rating, even if both look equally comfortable next to a shopping button. Use those figures as feedback about the UK product, not as a customer rating for every CeraVe eye cream.2
How do you apply it?
- 1Apply small dots around the eye area. For the US Skin Renewing and Canadian Vitamin C creams, CeraVe specifies using your ring finger after cleansing.
- 2Gently blend until absorbed. Those two formulas can be applied around the entire eye contour, including the under eye area, crow's feet, eyelids and brow bones.
- 3For those two formulas, follow with your facial serum and moisturizer. Both are directed for morning and night use.
- 4Use US Eye Repair once or twice daily, morning or evening. All three creams can be worn alone or under makeup.
How soon should you expect a difference?
For the Canadian Vitamin C cream, CeraVe reports improvements in radiance, smoothness, puffiness and fine lines after one week, with over 90% of consumers reporting immediate hydration. For the US peptide Skin Renewing cream, CeraVe describes softer, smoother looking skin with continued use, without giving a specific deadline. Dark circles have several possible causes, including genetics, ageing and lack of sleep, so brightening cream is not a universal fix.14
Who should be careful?
US Eye Repair and Skin Renewing are described as suitable for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. For eczema prone skin, CeraVe advises checking with a dermatologist before first using Skin Renewing. Avoid direct eye contact with Skin Renewing and the Canadian Vitamin C cream; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Ask a doctor or dermatologist about persistent dark circles that concern you.134
