Giving yourself a pamper session at home is just what we all need these days. With our local spas and salons closed due to the current pandemic, people are resulting to at-home treatments to make themselves feel more relaxed.
A self pamper session can be anything from an hour’s bath with your most luxurious face mask on or simply a brisk shower and a full-body moisturizer. If you’re a skincare newbie or are looking to switch it up a bit, Nordstrom’s flash sale on beauty items is just the place to stock up on everything you need to feel your best.
Eye creams are an easy way to pamper the more delicate skin around your eyes, providing moisture and reducing wrinkles and fine lines. The Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado takes every millennial’s favourite fruit and uses it to reduce dark circles and nourish the skin directly under your eyes.
Read on for details to decide whether this popular eye cream is right for you — but hurry, the beauty sale ends Tuesday at 9 a.m. EST.
What is it?
A nourishing eye cream that gently moisturizes the under-eye area, the Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment uses avocado oil to smooth over the eye area for a rich hydration. With a thick, creamy texture, it stays put so you don’t have to worry about it going into your eyes.
Approved by ophthalmologists and dermatologists, this uniquely-concentrated formula promises to soothe, moisturize and eliminate dark circles thanks to the combination of natural ingredients. This unique combination works together to restore the natural moisture barrier of the skin and protect the delicate under-eye area.
Application is simple: just use the tip of your ring finger to gently tap the cream into the orbital bone without pulling on the skin.

What people are saying
With more than 1,300 reviews, customers can’t get enough of the magic cream. Some fans have even attributed the reduction of dark circles and skin scarring to this Kiehl’s treatment.
“I have used this eye cream for a long time, maybe 15-20 years. It feels like a drink of water for your skin. I especially like to use this in the summer after a day in the sun – I actually crave it. I haven't tried this yet but my sister-in-law said to keep it in the fridge for a cooling effect. I also have used it on a healed surgical scar on my neck as opposed to plain vitamin E oil. It's maybe not what it's meant for but it felt right because this cream is so soothing,” raved one reviewer. “Now, my scar is beautiful, no redness and hardly noticeable.”
“Best purchase I have ever made. I have tried various products for my dark circles around my eyes and looking tired all the time, this cream fixed my issue. I even look younger. Love it!” adds another.
While there’s no denying this eye cream is effective, customers do warn it can feel a bit too rich if your skin isn’t naturally very dry.
“If you suffer with really dry skin around the eyes then this eye cream works wonders. It was a bit too rich for me so I have been using it more as a treatment. The texture is very rich, a little goes a long way. It is excellent value and feels really comforting on the eye area,” reads one review.
“If you want that dewy, and I mean dewy look, this is for you. I tried this out for a little more than one week because I was running low on my all-time favourite eye cream (different brand) and while it was super moisturizing, it became too moisturizing for me,” adds another.
The verdict
If you suffer from dry skin in your under-eye area then the Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado is a great buy, especially on sale. But if you’re someone with a relatively normal skin type, it may be a bit too thick. As mentioned by customers and fans alike, this cream may be formulated for the eye area but it also works great as a treatment for dry skin – no matter its location.
