Thank you for including me in the sample testing of Snowberry Smoothing Eye Serum ($53). First, a little about my skin – I’m 60 years old and fair skinned with under-eye puffiness, crepiness, dryness, minor crow’s feet and significant loss of elasticity and tone. Around the eyes has been my target area for improvement over the past several years, and I have tried a huge number of high-end eye serums and creams to improve the quality and beauty of the skin underneath my eyes – yet never achieving my desired results. Additionally, with some eye products I have experienced irritation and inflammation. So, I guess I would say I have somewhat sensitive skin beneath my eyes.

I was excited to try the Snowberry product because of the combination of ingredients (peptides and some interesting herbal extracts). The benefits stated on the Snowberry website are similar to what I’d seen listed for so many other eye creams in the past: reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and smooth the skin; reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes; ingredients shown in clinical trials to activate and stimulate collagen and elastin production; improve skin hydration; maintain healthy skin “ecology” and skin immune support; non-irritating and non-sensitizing; and significant moisturization skin improvement activity of 23.53% within one hour of application.

Once again I was hopeful – and skeptical.

For two weeks I tested the serum on my right eye only, a.m. and p.m. around the entire orbital area. The results were so nice that I ditched my old eye cream and began using the Snowberry product on both eyes for the remainder of the four-week test.

For the first time in years, I do not have to use lots of concealer and color correctors to disguise my dark circles and under-eye bags because they have pretty much disappeared! It was such a gradual improvement that I didn’t really notice significant changes daily, but I realized three weeks into the test that I was not having to fuss with the camouflage ordeal anymore – just a dab in the inner eye area and I was done.

That’s not all. Remarkably, there is noticeable improvement in the elasticity and tone of the skin around my eyes, plus my skin IS smoother. I still have some crepiness that appears mainly when I smile, but this has diminished considerably during my test. I expect to see continued improvement with longer use. The hydration is excellent, the product absorbs extremely well, and the aesthetic results are very nice.

Snowberry Smoothing Eye Serum comes in a plastic pump container, dispensing the correct amount of product consistently. The serum is an elegant, creamy liquid with a very faint, pleasant smell. The product comes out as a pale beigey-taupe, but when applied it is completely colorless. It is not heavy, greasy, shiny or sticky; and although it is extremely moisturizing, my skin looked completely naturally hydrated and not obviously coated with a product. My sensitive eyes loved the Snowberry.

Snowberry delivered what it promised and I’m completely happy with the results. What a wonderful surprise – I never thought I’d be able to say that about an eye serum.

Since my camera wouldn’t produce good before-and-after photos of my own eyes, I found these photos online, which show an extreme close-up of eye skin before and after a 28-day clinical trial with the Snowberry Smoothing Eye Serum.
