Claiming to eliminate or greatly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark shadows around the eye, this inexpensive eye cream is also said to reduce puffiness that the sensitive eye area is prone to.

Eye cream is usually more highly-concentrated than regular cream, but also designed for more sensitive skin, since the skin around the eyes is so thin, and the eye itself is quite susceptible to irritants. We are interested to see if this less-expensive cream will measure up in terms of ingredients to the more expensive brands.

One fantastic thing about Jean Marin Anti-Circle Anti-Puff Gel is that it provides a full ingredient list. This means that we can know exactly what is in the product as well as which ingredients are most prevalent and which are just “fillers.” Since this product is inexpensive, we should watch out for too many fillers, or ingredients that do not help the skin, but in some cases can cause irritation or other side effects.

Unfortunately, this product is primarily made of fillers. The second and third ingredients are a silicone based lubricant and a preservative, which do absolutely nothing for the skin, and in fact are more likely to hurt than help. Caffeine, which is lower down on the list, is supposedly supposed to reduce and tighten the fat in the under-eye region. However, caffeine has very low skin permeability, meaning that it probably does nothing for the face.

Price and Availability

Jean Marin Anti-Circle Anti-Puff Gel costs around $20 for .50 fluid ounces. Even though this is a lower price compared to other eye creams, it might be because the ingredients are very low-quality.

It is also very difficult to find Jean Marin Anti-Circle Anti-Puff Gel online or even in stores. In fact, as far as we can tell, it needs to be purchased from Europe, meaning that the shipping and handling costs will likely be astronomical.

Overall Impression

Jean Marin Anti-Circle Anti-Puff Gel is a very inexpensive skin care product. Unfortunately, inexpensive usually translates to ineffective when talking about ingredients in eye creams. We wouldn’t recommend buying this product simply because it does not contain worthwhile ingredients and won’t reduce wrinkles.

In addition, we recommend buying worthwhile products that will not have high extra costs for shipping and handling.
