Eye Cream Review: The Face Shop Clean Beauty Rice Water Bright Vegan Eye Cream

Hello folksickles. Today's review will be for The Face Shop Clean Beauty Rice Water Bright Vegan Eye Cream.

Availability: This retails at $22 - $30 for 20 mL (0.67 fl. oz.) and is available at amazon.com and toktokshop.com.

Would I buy this again?: Probably not.

What is this product designed to address?

According to amazon.com this is what the product is and what it does:

A vegan eye cream that recharges the under-eyes! Silky and quick-absorbing formula with rice extract, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
Benefits
Visibly diminish dark circles and brightens the under eye area

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

These are the highlighted ingredients according to amazon.com:

Fermented Rice Water: is a brand-signature ingredient, rice extract is fermented for 28 days for maximum potency to help hydrate and brighten skin.

Niacinamide: which helps improve skin tone.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid: which helps hydrate and moisturize skin. 

What is the texture like?

I'd describe the texture as a lightweight, creamy, serum-like lotion. 

Is it scented?

This doesn't have a particularly discernable scent to it.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
I've been using this eye cream for a few weeks now and I feel like it's hydrating in a light way that doesn't interfere with my makeup. That being said, I don't feel like it does anything in terms of brightening under eye circles or helping with puffiness, which frankly are the two main issues I've got. In fact, I purchased this because it's obviously marketed as a brightening product and while I like how hydrating yet lightweight this is, it simply doesn't do what I wanted it to do. Granted, because this isn't particularly inexpensive and I can get equally hydrating eye creams for less, I won't be purchasing it again. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Disclaimer: I purchased this myself.
