ConsIt might be a bit drying if used alone. For dry skin types, it's best to layer with other products

Until my early to mid-20s, I lived a life far from deep dryness or wrinkles, but as I'm approaching 30, it seems my skin type is changing. I absolutely hate dryness and tightness, but what I dislike even more are rich creams. While I don't have particularly sensitive skin and am not too picky when choosing skincare products, I often use Vichy products because they're gentle and always have a nice finish. I first learned about the Vichy Minéral 89 Eye Serum through The Hwahae Testers! To cut to the chase, this product hit the mark for someone like me who absolutely despises rich textures and sticky finishes. When you think of Vichy, you think of rich minerals, right? I've been using Vichy mist for years as one of my holy grails because it feels great for both soothing and hydrating the skin. ❤️Hydration and Soothing Effects I found that the Vichy Minéral 89 Eye Serum is quite excellent for hydration and soothing. As I mentioned earlier, I've developed combination dehydrated skin as I approach 30. Even in the sweltering summer, I feel dryness deep in my skin, and during seasonal changes like now, no matter how diligently I apply products and moisturize, the deep dryness becomes really severe. Especially around the eyes where the skin is thin... you know what I mean, right? Wrinkles form more easily, and on days when my skin is sensitive, it can even turn red after cleansing. That's why eye care products are crucial, but I often avoided using them because I dislike rich textures. But this Vichy Minéral 89 Eye Serum? It's incredibly light. Being a lightweight serum rather than a cream, it applies well and has an excellent finish. And most importantly, the hydration and soothing effects! I'm very satisfied with this aspect too. After using it consistently for two weeks (though not daily), I definitely noticed an improvement in tightness and redness. I used to get fine lines around my eyes in the afternoon, but it seems like fewer wrinkles are forming now. It's great to pump out an appropriate amount and pat it in morning and evening. It doesn't pill when used before makeup either! ❤️Dark Circle Improvement I have prominent aegyo-sal (under-eye puffiness) and thin skin, so dark circles appear quickly when I'm tired. I also tend to have dark circles normally. You know how even with concealer, dark circles show up by evening?! And when I'm bare-faced, it's even worse. I've tried everything, even eating salmon, but a makeup instructor once told me that if you want to reduce dark circles before an important day, it's good to hydrate with a mask. The product description for the Vichy eye serum mentions dark circle improvement, and I do feel like there's been some improvement, probably due to the hydration. Since I'm prone to dark circles compared to others, the effect wasn't dramatic, but it definitely seems a bit lighter than before! I'm planning to keep using it consistently!! ❤️The scent is as light as its fresh and lightweight texture. It's almost unscented. Being free from parabens, artificial colors, alcohol, and artificial fragrances, there's no artificial scent either. I was a bit worried since fragrance is important in cosmetics along with ingredients, texture, and effects, but this being unscented means it's unlikely to be an issue for anyone's preferences. Some products with very artificial scents don't leave you feeling fresh or refreshed after use, but this product has no artificial feel at all, so it's very refreshing after application.
Cons🙏🏻Volume This seems to be a point of disappointment for many people. The 15ml volume is great for portability, even when traveling, but it's a bit lacking for consistent use. I wish they would increase the amount a little. 🙏🏻Might be slightly insufficient for dry skin I was satisfied with the Vichy Minéral 89 Eye Serum because I really dislike heavy textures and sticky finishes. However, for those with severe dryness or those who prefer a richer feel, it might be slightly disappointing. After all, most eye care products tend to be rich, so opinions might be divided here.
TipPump out an appropriate amount and pat it in for absorption. This way, it absorbs quickly and doesn't pill when applying makeup.

At first, I found it a bit unfamiliar, probably because it's my first time using a serum specifically for the eye area! However, the pump dispenses just a tiny pea-sized amount, which is perfect for applying around the eyes. Being an eye product, it feels gentle and doesn't sting when applied around the eyes. I'm not currently using any other serum products, and while I have dry skin, I don't typically get wrinkles around my eyes. However, when I squint slightly, I do notice very fine lines around my aegyo-sal and mongolian folds. After consistently applying this product morning and night for about a week, those lines were barely visible unless I frowned deeply. I think it's because the hydration has been replenished. The texture is slightly thin but doesn't run, with a translucent appearance. This means it doesn't get into your eyes and doesn't sting when applied around them. It absorbs incredibly quickly, leaving a moisturized feeling even after absorption. I usually don't apply emulsions around my eyelids, so that area used to feel dry to the touch, but now I can immediately feel the hydration. When I wake up, the area around my eyes feels less... aged? Haha!
ConsThe bottle itself is really tiny! I didn't know the price since I received it as part of The Hwahae Testers, but it's incredibly expensive...? I wanted to keep using it, but I'm not sure if I can continue due to the high cost... sigh
TipI applied it generously right after toner! But... thinking about the price, I feel like I'll need to use it more sparingly in the future... sigh

I like the immediate hydration when applied, and it's not irritating. Even if it's not this specific product, I plan to purchase eye essences instead of eye creams in the future.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, but the product's effects seem to be noticeable only when applying. However, I haven't used it for long, so I'll need to use it more to know for sure.
TipAfter cleansing my face with toner, I use this eye essence and then apply other products.

No feeling of dryness Before, my eye area would get very dry by the time I left work, but now I don't feel any dryness even on my way home after work. 2. One pump is enough for both eyes Although it's a small amount, it seems like it will last a long time. 3. Non-irritating My eyes are sensitive and usually sting when I use irritating products, but this one doesn't cause any discomfort.
Cons1. The quantity is adequate and the lightweight texture suits my skin type well, but those with extremely dry skin might need a richer product 2. I'll need to update any drawbacks after using it for two more weeks. I haven't seen any noticeable effects yet, so I'll have to keep using it

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. As someone with super sensitive skin, I usually get small blemishes all over my face the day after using anti-aging products. Even with high-end eye products, I get irritation under my eyes. So I decided to avoid cream-based formulas. The Vichy Minéral 89 Eyes Super Lifting Eye Serum has a clear, thin, and lightweight texture. It's less irritating to the eye area, which I'm really happy about. No blemishes and it feels fresh, making it great for fall and especially perfect for summer. It doesn't pill under makeup either, which is a big plus.
ConsThe size is quite small. Usually, eye products come in 30ml, allowing for long-term use. However, the Vichy Minéral 89 Eyes Super Lifting Eye Serum is only 15ml. It might last about a month and a half if used sparingly. So, from a price perspective, it's not exactly budget-friendly.
TipAfter using my fermented toner (Fresh), I immediately apply this Vichy Minéral 89 Eye Serum. You don't need to pump out a lot - just one long squeeze is enough. Then, dab half of it in small dots around your eye area and gently spread it out.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsKey strengths of this product: 1. Non-irritating Absolutely no stinging or irritation when applied around the eyes. Also fragrance-free! 2. Moisturizing, fresh, and lightweight application (not heavy or sticky!) The texture is incredibly pleasing. Spreads smoothly and hydrates well. Usually, eye products, whether essence, gel, or cream, can be a bit thick and heavy, but this one applies fresh and light. And the best part? It's not sticky at all! A texture that all skin types will love. 3. A little goes a long way This seems to be an extension of the texture's characteristics. Just one pump is enough for application. At first, not knowing better, I pumped three times and ended up applying it all over my face.
ConsTo be honest, there weren't any drawbacks. I don't have wrinkles around my eyes, but I do have severe dark circles. After using one bottle, if it helps improve my dark circles, I'm willing to purchase it with my own money.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros(The Hwahae Testers review) The product is fragrance-free and caused no irritation or burning sensation when applied around the eyes. I have dry eyes, and usually, if an eye cream doesn't suit me, I end up tearing up all day. However, the Vichy Minéral 89 Eyes Super Lifting Eye Cream didn't cause any discomfort or irritation. The texture is similar to a typical essence - not greasy, and when applied, it feels like a plump, transparent film is covering the skin. As it's a serum for the eye area, I was pleased that it didn't absorb immediately and disappear. Instead, it left a long-lasting hydrated feeling. After two weeks of use, I can't say for certain that it smoothed out my eye wrinkles, but compared to other serums, I'd give it high marks for its long-lasting moisturizing effect.
ConsAs someone with very dry eyes, I found it difficult to get sufficient hydration from the serum alone. Like most serums, it doesn't contain as much oil as a cream, so it might not be enough for those with very dry eye areas.
TipFor those with dry eye areas, I recommend applying the eye serum as a first step, followed by an eye cream as a second layer for added hydration.

I'm 28 years old and I'm quite conscious about my skin, especially the fine lines around my eyes. Unfortunately, I'm currently dealing with some blemishes as well. My skin type is sensitive, very dry, and lacks oil. I actually developed these blemishes from using the wrong emulsion. So, I was quite worried about trying this product, but it turns out to be incredibly gentle! The texture is somewhat runny, like a thin fluid. It absorbs well and applies smoothly, adhering nicely to the skin. While I haven't seen any dramatic effects yet, I can definitely say that my fine lines are gradually becoming less noticeable!
ConsThe product size is disappointingly small. Considering its price point, I wish it came in a larger quantity. Apart from that, I haven't experienced any negative effects, so I'll continue using it!
TipI think it works best when applied after your toner and emulsion!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, I love that it's free from harmful ingredients! I usually avoid cosmetics with fragrances these days, but this one is practically unscented - it feels so gentle, which is really reassuring. The texture isn't a typical cream, it's more like a light emulsion or serum, which means it's not heavy and absorbs well into the skin. I have combination skin, and with the changing seasons, I've been worried about dryness around my eyes, fine lines, and especially dark circles. What's great about this Mineral 89 Eyes product is that it promises to improve dark circles with consistent use, so I've been diligently applying it morning and night.
ConsFor those with dry skin, the lightweight formula might not feel hydrating enough (I have combination skin that's dry everywhere except the T-zone). So I always make sure to layer a hydrating serum, emulsion, or moisturizer on my eye area along with this product. Also, I've been using it consistently morning and night for about two weeks now, but I haven't really noticed any significant effects on my dark circles yet.
