Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream Review
Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream Overview
The company calls this their best eye cream for dry skin, and with a name like Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream, this is probably true. What it claims to do is provide excellent moisture as well as improve the skin’s ability to hold that moisture in. This reduces the look of wrinkles and fine lines and makes the delicate skin around the eyes appear soft and supple.
The claims made by Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream have nothing to do with the dark circles and puffiness that are often associated with eye area skin. This is a definite strike against. My theory is that if you’re going to use (and pay for) a separate product for the eye area, it should have some special features that make it worth the additional step (and expense).
On the other hand, Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream is widely available and pretty well liked by customers, so let’s have a look.
Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream Ingredients and How They Work
There is a signature ingredient in the Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream formula. It’s Clary Sage which is an herb from near the Mediterranean Sea. It’s well known for its ability to trap and retain water to improve your skin’s hydration.
Other ingredients that round out the formula include:
- Glycerin for skin-identical hydration.
- Avocado Oil to smooth and hydrate as well.
- Aloe Leaf Powder to soothe and comfort.
- Vitamin E to nourish and provide antioxidant protection.
- Beeswax as an emollient.
- Tucuma Butter which is loaded with fatty acids to bolster the skin’s protective barrier.
You should apply Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream by placing small dots around your eye contour and smoothing them in, in the morning and/or at night.

Conclusion
I’m disappointed in Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream. The formula is almost the same as the Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Lotion, and it costs more for less. It’s decent in terms of hydration and soothing, but it does nothing for the issues specific to eyes. With that being the case, there really is no reason to go out and buy this eye cream.
