A few months back I shared about Kinvara EYE WOW! I’ve been using the product for a few weeks now and I’m almost to the end of the vial. Overall the product works well and did hydrate the skin under my eyes. I was gifted the product for reviewing purposes.
product info
The Kinvara EYE WOW! serum is stated to help improve and brighten your under-eye area. It is also stated to help hydrate and plump the skin. It may improve signs of aging and lessen the appearance of dark circles as well.
It does contains Horse Chestnut oil so I don’t now if that may cause an issue for anyone who has a nut allergy.
It also contains other properties such as cucumber and fig. The product can be used twice daily or when you feel it’s needed. You can also store the vial in the fridge to add an extra cooling effect. You will need to shake the vial prior to every use.

User Experience
Overall I liked the serum. It was light weight and easy to apply. I found the roller ball applicator to be gentle on the skin. It didn’t snag or pull my skin. It contoured to my under eye area and distributed the serum evenly onto my skin.
I found that one pass was good enough. If you felt you applied to much you can tap any excess into your skin or let it dry naturally.
The serum didn’t feel sticky or heavy. It absorbed well into the skin. I felt it left my skin feeling hydrated especially when used at night.
I didn’t have any interactions with existing or added skincare products which was good.
Final thoughts
I liked the Kinvara EYE WOW! serum. For me I felt it did hydrate my under eye area. As for the dark circles and fine lines….. I’m going to say it helped to a point. I did notice that it plumped my skin but for me I didn’t see a major improvement. I don’t have dark circles all the time so I couldn’t gauge if it was effective for that.
I did feel that it helped improve some fine lines. Yet again it does plump the skin so that may be why. I also felt that towards the bottom of the vial the product may be a bit thicker. This may just be do to settling. I found that storing it cap side down helped keep any product left in the vial closer to the roller ball.
I liked that the vial was dark in coloration but it also made it a little harder to tell how much product was left in the vial. Of course shaking it gives you some indication.
Like with most skincare products results may vary from user to user. Also some products may take time to work so you may not see instant results.
Now let’s get to the price point. Kinvara EYE WOW! retails for $33.99 USD. You can find it via Kinvara‘s website or Amazon.
For me the price point is out of my usual skincare budget. I am thankful to Kinvara for the complimentary product and reviewing opportunity. All in all the product did do a good job at keeping my skin hydrated. If you’d like to learn more please visit the links provided in the post.
