We all know how delicate our skin around the eyes is, and it is also the first area where we will observe fine lines and wrinkles. Therefore, it is important to use moisturizer around your eyes, even in younger ages. My current eye cream is the Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream, which I heard many positive things about prior to my bought. After testing this cream for the past months I would like to share my impression with you.
Innisfree is an eco-friendly Korean skincare and makeup brand focusing on natural ingredients from Jeju island and recycle packaging. The design of their products is simple and neat and nicely reflects the ideology of the brand. Innisfree products are usually free from harmful ingredients. They belong to the Amore Pacific group.
Innisfree has different lines for their skincare products. The Orchid line with its purple packaging design is dedicated to total care. It contains Jeju Orchid as a key ingredient, which is rich in antioxidants and thereby acts anti-aging. The Jeju Orchid Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream makes your skin smoother, more healthy and elastic and also improves the skin tone.
The Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream comes in a jar containing 30 ml, which is a lot! Although I’m already using this for months I’m still in the top quarter of the jar. Since the area around our eyes is not that large you only need a bit every day. It would be great if Innisfree comes up with a tube version of this product because it guarantees a more hygienic use of the product.

The product is free from parabens, sulfates, alcohol, and EU allergens. It has brightening functions by using arbutin, and anti-aging properties due to the adenosine. Caffeine will revitalize and there are a bunch of plant-based ingredients included, too!
The Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream has a thick cream formula with a floral scent. It clings to the skin when you apply it and feels very nourishing, but also has a cooling feeling to it. It absorbs very quickly, once patted in and leaves a very light tackiness at first, but does not feel sticky. The tackiness disappears after some moments as well and leaves the skin with a more firm and elastic touch. It does not cause any problems with makeup applied on top once it is absorbed and feels lightweight, too.
I started to use this cream on my lids as well for some months because I had the feeling that the skin there was starting to lose its elasticity. At first, it was a strange feeling to have cream applied above the eyes, but once it dries down you will not feel it any longer. In my experience, the skin above my eyes now feels much better than it did before. Also in general, this eye cream provides enough nourishment and moisture to make the lines less visible and the skin more elastic.The skin feels very smooth after applying the cream.
If you are looking for a nourishing and anti-aging eye cream I can recommend you the Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream. I feel that it has improved my skins elasticity and gives it the right amount of hydration and moisture. If you are sensitive towards scents you won’t be liking this eye cream, though: the floral scent is noticeable and lingers for a while. I’m personally very happy with my purchase and I can only confirm the other positive reviews about this cream. I bought the Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream from Beautytap, but there are also other suppliers for this product:
Beautytap for 24US$ (check out my Coupons & Discount page for special deals and codes)

I've been interested in this eye for a while, thanks for the review! My favorite eye cream is the Elizavecca white bomb eye cream. ♥

I haven't tried Elizavecca eye cream yet, but in general, I'd be curious to see how the Elizavecca products perform. Thank you for the comment.
Thanks for the good review. Does the eye cream lighten up dark circles around the eyes? I have the gel cream, cream and sleeping pack from this line and I prefer the gel cream for days and the sleeping pack for nights.
The gel cream and the sleeping pack sound really nice too! MAybe I can try them for myself in the future...
It is difficult to judge about the dark circles. As you know there are many factors and reasons that influence dark circles. The cream does contain Arbutin for brightening, but of course, it has its limitations.
Die ganze Reihe finde ich ja sehr interessant, habe mir aber tatsächlich noch nie etwas davon gekauft. Vielleicht wäre die Augencreme einmal ein guter Anfang.
Ich fand die Augencreme tatsächslich sehr gut und sie ist mir immer noch in positiver Erinnerung, obwohl ich schon zwei weitere seit dem benutzt habe. Vielleicht ein guter Anfang :)
Been wanting to try this for awhile but now I’m convinced. Thanks for your recommendation! ?
Thank you for the comment. Let me know how you like the eye cream when you get the chance to try it.
Is it safe to use this eye cream on the face? I have heard that it is possible to use it, but I have also read that it should not be. So what’s the truth?
In general, you could use eye cream on your face and lips as well....There is no issue in safety in my eyes, especially since eye creams should be more delicate regarding the thin skin of the eyes. But it also depends if you like to have the texture of this cream all over your face or prefer something more lightweight.
