A new mum also said: “I’ve just had a child, so a good eye cream… My under-eyes have definitely brightened up despite my disturbed sleep’
Eyes are the first of the tell-tale signs of ageing but people often neglect them when looking for anti-ageing solutions. The softer, more sensitive skin often needs an alternative approach to the usual creams and serums.
Crow’s feet, fine lines and crinkles may be signs of ageing but there are a number of steps that can be taken to help prevent them. Investing in a decent eye cream is essential for keeping your eyes looking bright and fresh – luckily, not all of them will break the bank.
Mature women are singing the praises of an eye cream from Boots, priced at £12.95 and part of the No7 Good Intent range: a collection crafted with sensorial formulas designed to deliver instant results, drawing on ‘glass skin-inspired skincare products’.
The No7 Good Intent Skin Sip Bouncy Eye Cream features a nourishing formula packed with collagen and squalane, promising an ‘instant boost of hydration for tired-looking eyes’. Its lightweight, bouncy texture reportedly revives the skin, leaving a radiant, mirror-like glow around the eyes that shoppers are describing as ‘an absolute dream’.
The brand is also treating customers to a free No7 Good Intent gift of Cloud Cloth Cleansing Pads when they spend over £25 on selected No7 Good Intent products, including its new body care and skincare collection. For instance, pairing the eye cream with the No7 Good Intent Dew Bank Oil to Bubble Body Cleanser, also £12.95, will bag you the cleansing pads completely free of charge, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The No7 Good Intent Skin Sip Bouncy Eye Cream is packed with collagen and squalane and works to nourish the delicate eye area.
This body cleanser harnesses the power of squalane and panthenol to delicately cleanse the skin, leaving it noticeably softer and thoroughly moisturised. It transforms from a luxurious oil into velvety ‘cloud-soft’ bubbles.
Shoppers can also tap into the PDRN trend with the brand’s new Good Intent Dew Bank Water Serum with PDRN and Hyaluronic Acid, £19.95, a daily serum featuring oil-encapsulated bubbles suspended in a base of a hyaluronic acid derivative (sodium hyaluronate) and PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide).
For the uninitiated, this ingredient – beloved by the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian – is a naturally derived compound composed of DNA fragments primarily sourced from salmon or trout sperm. The ingredient within the serum is said to boost skin hydration, delivering a plump, firm-looking complexion.
It’s worth noting that this free gift offer is only available until July 28. For those who simply want to get their hands on the Good Intent Skin Sip Bouncy Eye Cream from No7 on its own, it’s available to purchase separately.
Fans of the eye cream, despite it being a relatively recent launch, have heaped praise upon it, awarding it an impressive 4.4 stars out of five, with one delighted customer describing it as an ‘absolute dream’ to use.
They said: “This is an absolute dream for my under-eyes! I have always struggled with naturally dark under eyes. But since trying this product, it has brought my eyes a brightness I’ve never had before. Will definitely be exploring the rest of the range!” Another user echoed the sentiment, saying: “I’ve been using the No7 Good Intent Skin Sip Bouncy Eye Cream for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much of a difference it’s made! The texture is super light and silky, and it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy – perfect for both morning and night.
“Right after applying, my under-eye area feels instantly hydrated, smooth, and refreshed. It gives that lovely “bouncy” feeling the name promises, and my makeup goes on so much better afterwards. I’ve noticed my eyes look more awake and less tired, even on days when I don’t get enough sleep. I also love the clean, gentle formula – it feels kind to my skin, with no irritation at all.
“The packaging is sleek and travel-friendly, and just a tiny amount goes a long way, making it great value for money. It has become a staple in my skincare routine. It’s the perfect blend of hydration, brightness, and comfort – my under-eyes have never looked healthier!”.
One further shopper simply noted: “Really seems to work well reducing lines and crinkles.”
While another added: “Only had this a week but it’s already made a difference, my under eyes feel and look plump and hydrated. The texture is like a gel texture, feels so so hydrating.”
While numerous users have seen an improvement in the delicate skin around their eyes through consistent use of this cream, one four-star reviewer explained why they knocked off a star due to lacklustre outcomes: “I like the packaging – it’s simple and looks nice. The cream has a subtle, pleasant smell and feels cool and refreshing when applied. I didn’t notice any big difference in my under-eye area, but it gives a nice, soothing feeling overall.”
Another disagreed with this assessment and found their eyes appeared brighter, though their skin became drier: “After using it for a few weeks, I believe it did make my under eyes brighter, which I liked; however, it made my under eyes so dry that my concealer looked patchy, unfortunately!”
For those seeking something customers have praised for tackling dry skin beneath the eyes, CeraVe’s Eye Repair Cream, £14.50, makes an excellent choice, as it contains 3 Essential Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid, alongside patented MVE Technology that delivers up to 24-hour hydration.
Meanwhile, The Inkey List’s Caffeine Eye Cream offers a calming formula that gives weary eyes a substantial lift, while moisturising the skin. Priced at £10, it addresses dark circles, puffiness, and under-eye tiredness.
The No7 Good Intent Skin Sip Bouncy Eye Cream has proven a firm favourite amongst shoppers, with one delighted customer leaving a glowing review that read: “Seems great for sensitive skin, I’ve just had a child, so a good eye cream was much needed. Says apply AM and PM for best results. Has no scent/fragrance, so it is perfect to apply whenever!”
“Comes with a lovely tool to get the perfect amount out, formula feels luxurious and absorbs nicely into skin, a little goes a long way, so this eye cream will surely last me ages!”
“My under-eyes have definitely brightened up despite my disturbed sleep! And has really firmed my under-eye area up. You wouldn’t be able to tell now I barely get any sleep since using this cream!”
The No7 Good Intent Skin Sip Bouncy Eye Cream is available at Boots.
