The Body Shop Oils of Life Eye Cream Review

The Body Shop Oils of Life Eye Cream has 3 key seed oils for ingredients:

  • Black Cumin Seed Oil from Egypt- known for its concentration in antioxidants
  • Rosehip Seed Oil from Chile- rich in repairing omega 3 and 6
  • Camellia Seed Oil from China- naturally rich in nutritive oleic acid

I typically find myself liking eye creams, but never loving eye creams. So when this one came into my rotation to try, I didn’t expect much. The first time I applied it was at night, right before I got into bed. I was laying in bed trying to sleep and all of a sudden I noticed a cooling sensation around my eyes, which surprised me. When I woke in the morning, I felt like my under eye area looked less puffy and smoother, so I decided to stick with this eye cream for a while. I also started using it in the morning.

Less Puffy, Smaller Fine Lines, Less Darkness

After using it for 4 weeks, I think I’m in love with it. My under eye area looks so much better. I have less darkness under my eyes. The fine lines appear smaller. My eyes are also less puffy underneath.

Now, it does have room for improvement. I hate the packaging. Longtime Phyrra readers will know I hate jar packaging. Now that I have long nails, I hate jar packaging even more. Yes, I can (and have) bought mini spatulas to get out my various creams that are in jar packaging, but I hate them. I wish brands would ditch the jar packaging and just put things into a nice airless pump or squeeze tube. I prefer functionality over a pretty jar any day.

If you are looking for a new eye cream and your concerns are minor fine lines, a little bit of darkness and puffiness, this might be the eye cream for you. It’s one I’m certainly going to repurchase.

  1. I love that The Body Shop is staying on top of trends and developing new skincare.

  2. I like the idea of this eye cream. I’m heavily into collecting different Essential oils for use in skin care and diffusing so anything with oils interests me. It has taken getting a bit older to realize that oils are my friends not the dreaded enemy. Thanks for the review Courtney, I think I at try this one out.

  3. I haven’t ever used special eye creams, but after this review, I’m tempted to try.
    I have been using the Drops of Youth serum and cream since I got it on a huge sale at Ulta in about January. I’ve definitely noticed a change in my skin since using it; I used to have a pretty deep vertical ridge between my eyebrows (I guess I scowl too much of the time!) and since I’ve used this, it’s definitely less noticeable.
    Next time I’m at the Body Shop, in addition to wanting to try the bouncy night moisturizer, I may pick up the eye cream, too. Thanks for this review.

    1. I love the Drops of Youth Peel and this Oils of Life Eye cream. They’re both great for my dry skin. You’re welcome!
