Review: Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Intense Eye Cream

I mentioned in my post about the basic Boots eye cream that I am trying out several eye creams at the moment, and now, it is time to give you my opion on the Boots No 7 Eye Cream I got recently: The Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Intense Eye Cream, to be more specific.

I got this Protect and Perfect Eye Cream since I have been a huge fan of the Boots Protect and Perfect line since I first tried their serum, so I was hoping I might be as happy with the eye cream from the same line as well.

And the truth is that the Boots Protect and Perfect Eye Cream is pretty good, it works well and does hydrate your skin nicely, and actually combats fine lines and stuff like that, but it does have some disadvantages in my opinion, the main one being the color of the cream. Because this eye cream is not white, like most eye creams, but rather beige in color. Now, that might not be an issue for everyone, but it is for me, since the color is not very close to my natural skin tone, and it is also hard to blend the Boots Protect and Perfect Eye Cream with anything to change the color. So this basically means I can only use the eye cream at night, before I go to sleep, and even then, I have to wipe the area around my eyes when I get up, before I apply any make up or so. For me, this is not ideal, since I prefer eye creams that I can use all day round, with make up and without. So the Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Intense Eye Cream turned out not to be the best eye cream for me, for this reason alone, since this really bothers me.

But the hunt for the best eye cream is still on! So I will be reviewing some other eye creams soon as well. Fingers crossed that at least one of them turn out to be what I am looking for!

Looking for the perfect eye cream, part 1: Boots Eye cream review

I will admit it. I don't like wrinkles around my eyes. But then again, who does, right? But I have found that good eye creams really help when it comes to keeping wrinkles and lines at bay, so I am currently looking for the best eye cream for me. Now, in order for you readers to understand what it is that I need, I should add that I do not have any issues with dark circles around or under my eyes, which I know is a common concern for some, so I am only looking for an eye cream that moisturizes the skin around my eyes, and evens out any existing wrinkles (not that many, so far, I am happy to say, but still, there are some) and prevents new ones from forming.

This is why I recently bought several new eye creams, and I will be reviewing them one by one, in my search for the best eye cream that I can. First up: a cheap, basic eye cream, by Boots. (I also got the Boots no 7 eye cream at the same time, but this is not a review of that, that will come later, instead, this review is for the regular Boots eye cream)

I think this eye cream is good for someone who is looking for a budget buy, since it does moisturize, but for me, it was a bit heavy, since I could see clear traces of it in the morning (I tend to apply eye cream at night, before I go to bed), which is something that I don't like, since that means I have to start the day by washing around my eyes, and I firmly believe that touching the skin around your eyes less is good, since the skin around your eyes is so thin, so I prefer not to mess with it when I don't have to.

But the Boots eye cream does it's job, and I assume it's a great choice for anyone with very dry skin around your eyes, it just didn't work for me, since I prefer lighter eye creams. But still, I would recommend this to those with need for something heavier around the eyes. Maybe it's partly an age issue too?
