MEG 21Bright and Firm Eye Treatment 15 g

Bought for my sister, she likes it, probably would get it again

Tried by my wife, who gave it the thumbs down as it didn’t suit her at all.“This is very stylish looking, and I really like the idea of twisting the top to allow it to open and then twisting it again to close it. This prevents any lotion left on the nozzle from drying out, so none of this very expensive lotion is wasted. The container is small enough to sit on any shelf in any bathroom cabinet, but also looks stylish on a dressing table. The lotion in itself is rich and has a very faint smell, which I cannot identify but is not at all unpleasant. It went on well and was absorbed easily and as the pump dispenses a set amount of the product there is no waste.But it was not for me.The first night I used it was OK, though there was a slight stinging in the eyes which I put down to the chemical element in it and it being new to me. The following morning my eyes looked quite puffy and were quite sore. I did not latch on, and I applied some more that morning as recommended, and the reaction was actually worse. My eyes went very red as well as stinging and they kept watering until I went back to the bathroom to wash it all off. That worked but I have not used it since as I am very wary of my reaction to it. I have had to discontinue using the product due to adverse side effects.”

I was pleased to have the opportunity of reviewing this eye treatment as I generally use much cheaper options.This is a lovely cream/lotion which says that use will improve the look of the dark circles under the eyes.I particularly liked the way the dispenser works, you literally just twist the top to release the pump dispenser and it dispenses a pea sized amount of lotion to apply round the eyes. The cream is quickly absorbed and has a nice fresh fragrance. This caused no issues with my sometimes sensitive skin.It does exactly as it says...the light reflecting lotion does improve the appearance of eyes and the dark shadows under make up. That's in my opinion of course.Does it do a better job than my cheaper product? Quite honestly I cannot say it does but it's lovely and luxurious so if you are used to spending this amount of money on a product then it's a lovely product.Best bit for me is definitely that non messy dispenser design. I loved that aspect of the product.

This eye treatment is a premium priced product, far more expensive than the treatments I normally use.I really like the very stylish pump action dispenser - the silver coloured outer cap twists and the white pump pops up from the centre. The pump then retracts when the outer cap is twisted back. This is useful as it helps to prevent some of the product from drying out in the pump nozzle and being wasted.The pump delivers a rice grain sized amount of product, just enough for the eye area. The off white, light textured cream is quite light reflective and helps to disguise dark circles under eyes.There is very little stickiness with the product which is absorbed almost instantly, a very faint but pleasant scent which didn't cause any problems with eye irritation.I liked it, and the only reason for four stars rather than five is that I don't feel that the performance reflects a premium price. It very closely resembled my discount store pump action eye cream which is sadly no longer available. This was a twentieth of the price. The eye cream I am currently using is also very similar and around a fifth of the price.If you currently use high - end products this offers good results. It definitely minimises dark circles and whilst I didn't experience any firming effects, the 'bright' part of the description is accurate.

This was my third attempt to try & improve the damage done to my eye skin from years of scratching my excessively dry eyes (due to an autoimmune condition) and while certainly the most expensive it’s also been by far and away the best and technically the most economical too. Given after 2 months of less than single use and seemingly still half a bottle left, I’d suggest it would last around 3 months or longer depending on usage.It has a lovely neat twisting action to open and close which keeps the nozzle clean and prevents drying out. The cream isn’t overly scented although I wasn’t so keen on what scent I did smell at times. And while there are no specific instructions on quantity you’re left to assume a single cap press is appropriate. However, I quickly discovered that was rather a lot and took ages to work in which, in itself, couldn’t be good for your skin. So I reduced it down to a manageable volume by the 3rd use.I unfortunately quickly ran into another problem though whereby my left eye in particular ended up very painful and stingy with subsequent runny nose for hours after I used it in the morning so I chose to only apply it an hour before bed which worked fine.So I’ve been using it for 2-1/2 months now and am amazed at the difference. While I know nothing will ever remove the deeper chasms I’ve created the MEG21 has absolutely definitively smoothed out the wrinkles and lines at the outer edges. I’d show you before and after pics only I’m way too mortified at my appearance :( and besides nobody trusts such images nowadays anyway!As I’m still continuing on with this trial, I’ve no idea as yet how long the results will hold for, but the best effects are certainly seen immediately after application as obviously the cream itself fills the lines and takes a while for full absorption, so I’d suggest for anyone wanting to improve their wrinkles for an important occasion, you top up just prior to leaving home.Overall, a superb product but given my limited budget I’ll only be replacing during the sales, although I appreciate quality does cost, and as my 2 other previous products combined come to around the same cost yet were less effective, it appears to be a worthwhile investment.
