I picked up the Dew It All Eye Cream by the skin care brand Farmacy to try during the November Sephora sale, and after using it for months, I’m sharing my review.
I have been searching for a hydrating and calming eye cream that hydrated my under eyes, and also can hydrate my eyelids and around that area without irritating or stinging my eyes.
I was so excited to see that the Farmacy eye cream could be used “above and around eyelids” as well as underneath the eyes. I get dryness in a few spots on my eyelid and need something that will help hydrated those dry patches. Eye shadow applies very patchy when I’m dealing with that!

This eye cream is supposed to pack a major punch in a small little package. It is supposed to hydrate, reduce dark circles, firm, brighten, and fight signs of aging.
As I mentioned, I was mostly excited because this was a hydrating eye cream you could use not just under the eyes but around the eye lid as well. And I did!
I have a few dry patches around my eyelid, and used it there frequently. However, whenever I did, I was super disappointed to find it irritated and stung my eyes.
As for under my eyes, it is very nourishing and hydrating. No irritation experienced there at all. It plumped up my skin really nicely, and sunk in quickly, leaving behind moisturized skin.
You really only had to tap it in a few times before it was fully applied to the area. No excessive rubbing or tapping necessary. This is a big requirement for me because I prefer to be touching and rubbing that area as little as possible.
It sat very nicely under makeup. Although, when I used the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, it didn’t hydrate the skin enough for me to not still experience dryness and creasing. I think this is more due to the fact that the Shape Tape is a very drying concealer on me, and would likely look that way no matter what I used underneath of it.
I don’t think it really reduced my dark circles or brightened the skin, or if it did it was minimal. That doesn’t really bother me though because I have very dark under eyes and I don’t expect an eye cream to fix that. I think that’s just how my skin looks, and it’s more a matter of finding a good concealer rather than an eye cream, at least in my case.
I also did not notice any firming in my experience. I don’t think that’s really an issue I’m dealing with though (not yet), so there isn’t much for me to notice. I do have some loss of firmness on my eyelid, but I stopped using it after dealing with irritation repeatedly.
A complaint I do have about the Farmacy Eye Cream is the container though. At first I really liked it. It’s heavy duty and feels really luxurious. I think it’s ceramic, definitely is breakable so be careful. But it feels like really solid packaging.
However, once you use a majority of the product out of the main part of the pot, it’s really hard to get your fingers into the side of the pot for the remaining product. I had to get a little knife and try and get it out and put back into the main part.
Not that big of a deal, but a little annoying when you are trying to use all of the product up and you can’t really reach every part of the pot. Hopefully that makes sense.
Overall, it is a the Farmacy Eye Cream is very hydrating and soothing. I think if you either have dry skin or are just looking for a very moisturizing eye cream, this definitely fits the bill. It sinks in very quickly, is easy to apply, and sits nicely under makeup.
If you plan to use this around your eyelid, I’d be extremely careful, as I did experience irritation.
A lot of the reviews on Sephora say that this eye cream worked wonders for them with many experiencing not only hydrated skin, but brightened under eyes, firmed skin and helping with fine lines. A lot of rave reviews for this product!
It’s definitely worth giving a try, especially if you’re looking for a gentle and hydrating eye cream that absorbs quickly, leaving behind plumped up skin. Well, gentle under the eyes, I mean.
Can you tell I’m annoyed I can’t use this around my eyelid? I swear it’s good besides that lol. What has worked for me is using my Instanatural Marula Oil – so if you deal with dryness on your eyelid area and have sensitive skin, that might be a good place to start!
