The L'Oréal Paris Eye Bag Eraser, a skincare product used by This Morning star Cat Deeley, is currently 20% off on Amazon, dropping from £29.99 to £23.99. The 10ml treatment is designed to target wrinkles, puffiness, and loss of firmness, and claims to reduce puffiness and smooth eye bags within 15 minutes.
Cat Deeley's go-to eye treatment
The TV presenter and L'Oréal ambassador reportedly swears by the product, calling its ability to depuff under-eye bags in just 15 minutes pure 'magic or voodoo', reports the Mirror. She said: "It literally just removes the bags from under my eyes. I don't know how it does it, whether it's magic, voodoo, or a hope and a prayer. And it's great if I've had my make-up on since six o'clock in the morning, and then I've got to go to an event in the evening, it just freshens me up."
The formula works by creating an invisible layer over the skin that compresses, firms, and smooths out eye bags in 'minutes'. To use, dab a small pea-sized amount from the inner corner of the eye outwards using a clean, dry finger, then allow 15 minutes to dry so it can set properly. At night, it should be washed off with a waterproof eye makeup remover.
Shopper reviews and alternatives
The product has earned glowing comments from more than 1,000 Amazon reviewers, with one raving: "Wow. This is amazing. It's not cheap as it's a small tube, but it is well worth it. I saw a difference in a few minutes. I could feel it working too." Another user added: "Just a tiny amount under my eye. Pat it in gently and wait for the results. Skin feels tighter, and I feel years younger. This dried in under a minute. I will definitely buy again, and I will be trying the other L'Orèal Revitalift products. Fine lines have shrunk."
Another customer noted: "I was surprised that this actually made a noticeable difference. I often have under-eye bags as I don't sleep very well, and this gives my eye area a much smoother, more refreshed look within about 15 minutes." Someone else commented: "Absolutely brilliant. A little goes a very long way and should last for ages. I put it on first thing in the morning, and it lasts all day, even into the evening." Shoppers have rated it 3.8 out of 5 stars.
However, not all reviews were entirely positive. One remarked: "Used as directed, feels good on skin and dries well, non sticky, tube easy to apply on finger tip - but it's not worth all the hype." Another stated: "The cream was easily absorbed, l did not find the effectiveness that great."
