TL;DR: Expensive, but softens my under eye wrinkles tremendously!
I received this as a sample from Sephora while getting something else, and since I was looking for an eye cream, trialed this.
I actually really like it, and it didn't irritate my under eye area at all. Didn't notice any breakouts in the area while using it either, and it left my skin nice and hydrated. I pat it into my skin Show more
This has been fantastic for healing the skin around my eyes after a bout of nasty blepharitis caused by blasting my eyes with too much vitamin c.
Highly recommended for recovery of dry, damaged skin.

It does nothing, really nothing more to say about it lol. I got it when I saw it at TJ max bc it was on clearance for 10$ , said why not. Tried it out for a good month and saw absolutely no results lol, and looking at ingredients it just seems random: not enough hydration, random oils (I guess the lipids part of the claim? But also it makes your eyes blur so bad, can’t see properly for like 5 mins Show more
One of the most hydrating eye cream I tried. Feels very nice on my sensitive skin.
