Posted by beautyviewpoints | Under Eye CreamsEyecon Overview
Eyecon is an eye treatment intended to address crow’s feet, puffiness, and dark circles around the eyes. It claims to reduce fine lines by moisturizing the delicate under-eye skin while lightening dark circles and tightening the skin to reduce puffiness. Benefit Cosmetics was started in 1976 by twin sisters in San Francisco, CA. Since then, its beauty products have expanded into a global brand that encompasses boutiques and over 2,000 counters in more than 30 countries. Benefit Cosmetics has won many awards from numerous different prominent beauty publications.
Eyecon Product Details
The Benefit website does not include a lot of information about Eyecon, its ingredients, or how it works. It simply states that it “fades dark circles and smoothes fine lines.” They do not list the full ingredients, which may be problematic for those with sensitive skin or allergies. The ingredients listed are sweet almond, apple fruit, and japonica leaf extracts. The website does not explain what these ingredients are or how they work. Further research on other sites reveals that sweet almond oil has been used for ages by massage therapists and has been shown to have very effective emollient properties. It is mild, lightweight, rich in healthy fats, and easily absorbed into the skin. Apple fruit extract contains vitamins and antioxidants and is used commonly in anti-aging products. It is said to firm skin and reduce lines while brightening and clarifying skin tone. There are no studies or testimonials to support the effects Eyecon claims to achieve.

Eyecon The Bottom Line
Benefit seems to be relying heavily on its awards, long standing track record, and respected name to sell this product. They do not provide the information that many of their competitors do, including testimonials, scientific evidence, and a full ingredient list. It is difficult to know if this product achieves what it claims to do without knowing exactly what is in it. However, Benefit does offer a guarantee and the product is moderately priced.
