After numerous late nights and early mornings, combined with the darkness of the days... I look like I've been punched in both eyes around now.So I was keen to try Lierac's Diopti Calm Anti-Fatigue potion which claims to have an ice-cube cooling effect on the eyes.
It is said to calm redness and irritation, fight signs of fatigue, de-puff the eyelids and so on. It includes witch hazel and cornflower and can also be used as a mask.
So, does it work? Particularly when 8ml (though you need a tiny amount) sells for between £14 and £22 online.
It does have a slight cooling effect on the eyelids and makes eyes feel more rested (great for those who travel or use screens all day) but it was less effective than you would hope for the price.
Clinical studies say 97% of testers felt their eyelids were less tired after using it.
After several weeks of testing this by popping on almost every morning, I have not seen a major enough change to continue to buy it, particularly when there are other options on the market for cheaper.
Using it on the under-eye area had little effect as it is very light - but pop it in the fridge to improve that.
On the plus side - it is great for sensitive skin because it is so light, is paraben, fragrance and artifical colouring-free and the size makes it ultra-useful for popping in your handbag/overnight case.
To use it as a mask - slather it on, or use a small amount and massage in. You can apply make-up seconds later.
In short - it's a good product but it's not a GREAT product for the price.
