Michael Todd Intensive Organic Eye Cream Review

I heard good things about this eye cream from numerous beauty gurus on youtube so I wanted to test it out myself.

I made an order on the Michael Todd website towards the end of last year but finally got the chance to test them out. I wrote a post about the haul a while back. If you guys want to see what other products I purchased just click on the link below.

VERDICT:

3/5. Even though there are numerous emollients involved in the formulation, I don’t have that satisfying feeling after I used it. My eyes don’t feel softer compared to the result I had with other eye creams such the Kielh’s one. Also, I haven’t seen the appearance of my dark circles reducing.

I like the thin cylindrical packaging but not a big fan of the lit or the pump. The lit easily comes off. If I gently drop the eye cream from a short distance off the ground, the lit just flies off.

I find it hard to control the amount of product that comes out. If I pressed the pump with ‘normal’ force, only a thin string cream comes out. If I pressed harder to get more cream, the cream just shoots off. I probably got the bad pump, who knows?

The eye cream cost $38 but there are always coupon codes you can find to reduce the price. http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/index.php/product-type/eye-products/mtto-intensive-organic-eye-treatment.html#_
