    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    Instant color correction from banana powder neutralizes dark circles and blue tones under the eye the moment you apply it, give it a minute to set. Beyond that immediate effect, vitamin C brightens while niacinamide helps keep darkening under control as skin ages, and hydrators smooth the area without pilling under concealer. At under £10, it's an affordable daily eye cream that lasts months per tube.

    Yay
    "I love this, I think it's a treat for the under eye. You can put concealer on top of this, this is important if you want to do any concealer work, it won't budge or pill. It's so cheap. Garnier also went cruelty-free as a brand 18 months ago now and I'm happy to support the good guys in the skincare world, those brands that see the light, think you know what, animal testing we don't need that anymore. I applaud Garnier for doing what the likes of [CeraVe], L'Oreal, Ponds haven't done. They're still clinging on to it to make some extra money and Garnier have put their principles right. So I'm happy to support them as a brand. For me, that just works really, really well."

    10/10 DRUGSTORE EYE CREAMS - Best Eye Creams Under $20
    "I didn't really want to like this because they do a serum version which I absolutely hate but I thought well let's try it and I fell in love, it's like night and day, serum garbage, eye cream amazing. What I love with this, it's got the banana powder in here which gives it like a yellow coloration and that does some instant color correction. So you've got some vitamin C to brighten the under eye in the long term, you've got some hydrators in here to smooth everything out, worked great as a primer if you want to put some concealer on top of it. It just cancels out any blue, any sort of purpley tones that you might have under the eye in an instant. Put a decent amount on, work it in, go away for a minute, brush your teeth, whatever you're doing in the morning, then come back and look and you'll definitely notice a difference. I paid about six pounds for this, so it's great for discoloration."

    BEST NEW ANTI-AGING SKINCARE - 10 Products You Need To Know About!
    "I love this because it's got some banana powder in here and it just brightens that under eye, instant color correction, brighter under eye, and some long-term benefits with vitamin C and niacinamide. It's like nine pounds, I think, and it's a great dupe if you're using the Ola Hendrickson Banana Bright Eye Cream, which I think is 50 something. Like, this is like one quarter of the price and honestly just as good, very similar ingredient profile, works in a flash. I've been using this for about four months, so it lasts forever. A great find."
    ULTIMATE SKINCARE FAVOURITES - My Most Repurchased Skincare 2023
    "This is the Garnier Vitamin C eye cream. Now this used to be £5 here in the UK, it's now £7. I know inflation is like our number one enemy when it comes to skincare, but I still think it's £7, it's an amazing affordable eye cream. I use it every single morning and I find that one tube will last me about a month and a half, maybe going on two months. So I've definitely bought upwards of six, seven, eight of these this year and my skin just loves it. It's got some banana powder in here so it'll give an instant color correction if you're feeling a little tired, maybe you got those dark circles, it'll just lift them. But it's also packed full of niacinamide, you've got vitamin C, other great long-term beneficial ingredients. So it's one of those quick wins, long-term payoff products that for the price I just don't think you can beat. I've experimented with a lot of different eye creams this year but I think for me my morning eye cream fix is always this one by Garnier. This is an absolute Holy Grail and I'm telling you right now, this is going to be on this list next year in 2024 because I just can't see myself swapping to any other eye cream that delivers as well as this one does."
    NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING Morning Routine - Winter Edition (GRWM)
    "I'm first going to go in with my eye cream, this is my morning eye cream, this is the Garnier vitamin C eye cream. This is a steal. I paid, I think, £7 for this and a tube lasts forever. A great drugstore eye cream that I recommend to everyone."
    ULTIMATE HYPERPIGMENTATION ROUTINE - 80% Dark Spot Reduction
    "When I want to target those dark circles and discoloration I reach for this, the Garnier Vitamin C Eye Contour Cream. It's like £9, it lasts forever, and this is honestly one of the best under eye treatments I've ever found. If you have super sensitive eyes like mine, maybe just reach for a product like this. It's a one-and-one pack full of great hyperpigmentation and dark spot fighting ingredients and it's like a treat for the under eye. It's so good, it's got an element of color correction so it works instantly."
    Yay
    "This one has niacinamide and vitamin C and caffeine. Caffeine is amazing for really increasing blood circulation. Niacinamide is wonderful because it's amazing for hyperpigmentation, since darkness starts to happen as we get older in the under eye, and niacinamide is amazing for really helping to control that darkness or hyperpigmentation as well as oil regulation. Vitamin C is obviously great for its brightening antioxidant benefits, really helping to brighten that area and stop it from looking dull or tired as you get older. So this is a wonderful product for under $15."
