This is an all-around great eye cream at a reasonable price. Here's a little breakdown for those thinking of purchasing this item. Consistency: I would characterize this as a non-greasy, lightweight cream/gel. It takes a moment to absorb, but it is non-sticky and makeup applies smoothly without "pilling" or settling into creases. Effectiveness: This is not a miracle product (but really, do they even exist?). However, it does a great job hydrating the eye area and seems to keep fine lines at bay. That's all I can ask for at this point. I used to work for a "prestige" cosmetics line and have not found more expensive products to work any better than this one. Vehicle: I love the pump. How gross is it to repeatedly contaminate a product because you have to stick your fingers in a jar? I also like to think it prevents ingredients from oxidizing, since they are not exposed to air as it would be in a wide-mouthed jar. Value: I have yet to find an eye cream I enjoy as much as this one at 2-3X the price. Also, it lasts a very long time. Looking at my purchase order history, I seem to be buying this once per year (I'm on my 3rd repurchase in 3 years). I use it sparingly twice daily. A little goes a long way. However, the pump dispenses more than I use, so I try to only compress it about half way. If you are using full pumps, you will obviously go through it a lot quicker. Ingredients: A short ingredient list, there seems to be a lot of "actives" in this product without a lot of extra junk or toxic ingredients. There is no discernible odor/fragrance, it is non-irritating for my sensitive skin, and I haven not experienced milia (those little white bumps) from this product. I also appreciate that it does not contain aloe! A lot of "natural" eye creams rely on this relatively cheap ingredient as a carrier/filler, but unfortunately, it is responsible for a lot of allergic reactions. I definitely think this is quite a little "gem" I've found on Amazon! Read more
I love this cream. I noticed results two days after starting to use it! I have never used a product that is this effective and didn't believe they existed. A bit of background- I'm 22, fair and sensitive skinned. Until September of 2011 I had no problems except dark circles under my eyes. At the end of September my live-in boyfriend passed away after an accident. I cried all day every day for more than a month and still do at least once every couple days. I looked at myself in the mirror not long ago and was shocked at how awful my eyes looked. There were little lines all along my lower lids that were never there before and a few at the outer corners. This cream is already smoothing away the little lines around my lower lids. It feels really good when I put it on, slightly cool. My only complaints are that it's not very big, (it's a great product but definitely not the cheapest!) and the pump on the product I received was defective. It's difficult to get the product out and regulate how much I get which bugs me, I'd like to conserve it since I can't afford to buy tons of the stuff. I did have some trouble with the seller, the cream wasn't delivered until one week after the last day of the estimated arrival time. That was really disappointing but other than that things were good. Read more
I uyse this in conjunction with Murad Resugence products so I cant tell you which is doing a killer job, but overall my skin looks 1000 times better than it did a couple of months ago. I also use a gentle acid peel on it occasionally and use the PaloVia, Needle Roller and NuFace microcurrent systems to stimulate the skin. Its still cheaper than a series of face peels, which I tried once about 10 years ago and looked like a burn victim and was not impressed. Read more
All you need is the slightest amount to apply to your eyes for instantaneous moisture. It's pretty amazing that you can obtain such a powerful action in less than a drop. Due to its ultra-moisturizing effect, I need to remember not got too close to the eye lashes. It's a wonderful feeling and your eyes look better as a result. I'd say it lasts about 6-8 hours for a visual affect but any dry feeling or tightness under your eyes lasts until you wash your face. Come to think of it, I believe this product does works to improve that dry undereye feeling in the long term because I am not bothered by it much anymore. I choose this product because it contains the right combination of main ingredients that are allegedly best for the job. Read more
This product claims to be cruelty-free, but the second ingredient is EMU OIL. An emu is a large bird. I thought I was buying a vegan product, but I did not and I am disgusted and disappointed. And they won’t take it back, so now I am stuck with this product that I do not want. Read more
I am a licensed esthetician, and have been in the beauty/skincare industry for 15+ years, I received this eye cream today and was thinking it might be a bit watery, or could make the eye tear, I have oily, sensitive skin, and wear contacts. I applied to my eye area and felt and instant soothing and firming sensation, I then applied my makeup, no creasing, no rolling off, no tearing, INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! I noticed an immediate difference right away, my little under eye creases were gone, completely gone, MAGIC in a bottle I must say!!!! I felt like I had just left the spa and had a Botox injection, it was that smooth!! I also noticed my makeup went on smoother than normal, like a base for makeup, and gave a beautiful glow and a very nice light fragrance as well, best eye cream I have ever tried. Love the pump, and texture, great packaging, will be purchasing again and again and.....AGAIN!!! Very Happy, a must try for anyone over 25! Please do not discontinue!!!! Read more
