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.

    "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."

    "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."

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."

    ULTIMATE HYPERPIGMENTATION ROUTINE - 80% Dark Spot Reduction
    "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."

    "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."
