I was very excited to be sent Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum to review as in recent years the lines around my eyes have become more pronounced. I have been using the Eye-Opening Serum for a month and unfortunately I have to report that I cannot see any difference to my eyes. Kiehl’s claims this “concentrated eye serum will visibly firm, lift and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful looking shape and wide awake look”. All I noticed was a tightening feel as if the skin may be firming around my eyes however there is no visible difference and the lines around the eyes remain just as they were before I started using the serum.
Once I get decent pics to post here I will not continue to use this eye serum. I was sent 5 sample sachets by Beauty Bulletin to use during the review month.
Hey guys, I must firstly say that I wasn't able to use the serum again till about a week ago, so this review isn't going to be too positive, but definitely honest. I love how this serum feels on my skin, except that it's a bit sticky (more like gel) Once dry, the stickiness goes away and it feels great - almost silky. I particularly liked the fact that it didn't smell stinky. The serums I've tried in the past (yes, even Neutrogena, which I love) are all smelly and I cringed every time I had to apply it to my skin. So, this serum being practically scent-free was a real bonus.
There was no problem applying eye makeup, but when I tried to apply my foundation, I had crumbly bits down the side of my eyes/temple area! Yikes! I may be using it wrong, or applying too much of the product, but that has happened twice and I'm not loving it. I have stopped wearing foundation for a while as I suddenly started getting pimples (can you believe - at age 44!) and sticking to just some eye makeup, but I will report back once I've done the "whole face" makeup again. I will be a little less enthusiastic (read 'overboard') with the serum and apply only a little at a time and then see how the foundation sits.
As far as looking younger, I guess one can't expect to see dramatic results after a week or two, so the jury is still out on that one. If by some stroke of luck, I wake up one morning without crows' feet, I will immediately report on it! I'm not disappointed yet (read 'haven't given up') as the product is still plentiful and I have nothing but time on my hands, so will check back in with you in the very near future with an update :)

I have been using Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum for two weeks now. I am happy to report I do not notice the slight burning sensation I experienced when I started this product. It does feel as though the skin around my eyes is firming up a bit. This has however, not translated into any visible improvement. I know my pics aren’t the greatest but judge for yourself. Holding thumbs for a visible improvement in the coming two weeks.

Kiehl’s super multi-corrective eye-opening serum has a milky consistency and only a drop is needed as a little goes a long way. Unfortunately I struggle to obtain only the little I need from the sample sachet thus it feels like I am wasting product. I presume one would have more control over dispensing of the eye-opening serum with the 15 ml pump bottle it is available in for purchase. I am very careful to apply the serum to the outer areas of the eyes, yet I feel a slight burning sensation on application. Luckily this goes away after a minute and I experience no further discomfort.

First up, I have to be honest and say that I absolutely hate anything that comes in a sample sachet. I find them messy and bitty and battle to get a real feel for the product itself. That being said, Kiehls in a sachet sure beats most other, and it was with huge enthusiasm that I ripped open the packet to begin testing the Multi Corrective Eye-Opening Serum.
My first thought was that the product looked incredible pearlised, similar to a conditioner. The serum goes a very long way so only a tiny bit is needed. After application I waited... and waited, as it seemed to take forever to dry. When it did it eventually dry it left my under eye skin feeling quite tacky to the touch, and bits of the serum had dried up and left flakes on my skin (I really do believe this is from the fact that the serum is in a packet and had been exposed to air which dried it out a bit).
I am extremely high maintenance when it comes to eye creams and expect a lot from an eye cream - fine lines, puffiness, dark rings? Got 'em all, and need 'em all gone. I think its too soon to tell if this serum will become 'the one' for me - and I look forward to testing it our more in the weeks to come.
