It was only a matter of time for this light-bulb- "A-ha!"-moment marketing epiphany..."let's try including the benefits of roller massage to stimulate circulation and improve efficacy!" A few meetings later and here's the recipe:

Mix:

• 1 part cold stone therapy for circulatory benefits
• 1 part roll-on deodorant system for smooth no-mess product application
• "Unique" combination of skin-nutrients to address undereye puffiness and dark circles

Bake through:

• Marketing revisions, merchandising plans and ad execution

Yield:

• Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller

Garnier has recently introduced two new roller ball skin care products to roll away skin care troubles such as wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, and puffy eyes. The first is Garnier's Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller (the green one, above) in the US. The second is Garnier Ultra Lift PRO-X Roll-On in the UK. The UK launch touts the ability to plump up lines and wrinkles for a more toned look.

I've tried Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller. In my first impression, I found it did go on with a cooling sensation (the roller ball applicator is metal) and the product did glide on fairly smoothly. But I definitely had to smooth it out more with my fingertip. After a few minutes, I did notice some tightening and de-puffing, which I owe to the Glycerin, Caffeine, and Panthenol-Pro-Vitamin B5 it contains. I don't really have dark circles, so I can't speak to that claim.

WiWi: Was it Worth it? In concept, I like the cool feel of the roller ball and would-be ease of application, but the cooling roller sensation is so quick-and-over-with that I question the extent of the actual circulatory benefit from that. It seems a little over-rated. And the fact that I needed to use my fingertip to complete the application doesn't really save me anything in terms of mess or time or pampering feel.

Have you tried these new facial roll-ons from Garnier? WiWi: Was it Worth it?
