  Lovely gel! Minus for pump bottle.

  Wonderful, lovely, and fragrance-free gel that is very easy to apply even on thin, wrinkled eyelids. Can't determine if it has an effect, used it for about two weeks, but it gives a fresh and hydrated impression after application. However, I don't like the packaging because it's the same type as one of the eye creams*. There will be quite a bit of product left when you can no longer get anything out via the pump, and it will be very difficult to get it out in any other way from the narrow bottle. Additionally, only a little product is needed for each application, so it becomes unhygienic to scoop out the gel with your hand. I would strongly prefer a tube with a long, narrow tip instead, a type of tube that is common for eye cream, so you can use all the product and get the right amount out in a convenient way until you've used it all up. At the end, you can also cut the tube open and get the remaining part. * I didn't buy the eye cream in the same type of pump bottle (Eye Care fluid) again because of the packaging. Had forgotten this.. it came to mind while I was writing this. Over half the amount of product was left in the narrow bottle when the pump could no longer get anything out.. Very difficult to get it out by hand, especially to get the right amount for application.. I spilled what I got out into a small jar. Don't want to hold it that way. I remember the cream as very good, but the packaging ruined the whole experience after a short time. I bought the eye cream that comes in a jar instead. Very good cream, and an enormous amount in the jar for being for the eyes. I would have actually preferred to buy the Eye Care fluid if the packaging changes.

    I read what you write, and it really didn't work smoothly with the eye fluid, among other things due to its consistency in combination with the type of packaging.. so that's the experience I have had previously with this pump bottle unfortunately. It absolutely did not work to just pump it down and it was super hard to get out with a spatula.. there was so much left too.. had to pour it into a small jar I had.. and the cream smeared and slid.. it didn't stick to either my finger or the spatula to get a quantity for application.. No thanks to that experience again simply 😅 Aside from the hassle, there was so much product left.. when you start to finish a tube, there is often already quite a bit left, so when you cut it open, there aren't that many applications left where you need to mess with the product. Yes, it is easy to screw off the pump cap, I agree with you there, there are no difficulties.. it's all the other stuff and how much of the Eye fluid was left, its slippery consistency, etc. that together were absurd. The largest part of the usage of the product (about 2/3 of the amount, and you use very little with each application!) was a disappointment because the pump couldn't get the product anymore, it was stuck to the walls of the bottle, etc., and it wasn't enough to just pump it down.. I had to change the packaging myself already after about 1/3 of the product was used... (instead of having it a bit troublesome for a few applications, like when you cut open a tube that is starting to run out). Not even anything in the vicinity am I interested in again 😅 I want to be able to get out a suitable amount of product for most applications using the original container, that's just how I am. People are/prefer different.., deal with different levels of hassle, etc. - and if you have something to use the bottle for afterwards, maybe you can tolerate more hassle.. I have nothing I want or can use it for anyway, so I just want a functioning packaging while I use the product 😊 I hope despite everything that it will be a milder experience with this gel than with the eye fluid from the same brand (with the same type of bottle or a similar type of bottle). 😃👌🏼

  Usage

  Retinolia is generally not recommended for daytime use. Can this product also be used around the eyes in the morning?

    Hi Susanna, Thank you for your question! 🩷 Sunlight can also weaken the effectiveness of Retinol, so even though the product is gentle, I do not recommend using it daily. 🌞 Maybe you would like to try this? lyko.com/en/skin1004/skin1004-madagascar-centella-probio-cica-bakuchiol-eye-cream-20ml Have a lovely day! 🌷✨
