BLISS IS NOW CRUELTY FREE
I noticed that this website lists Bliss as not cruelty free, however they are now a Beauty Without Bunnies Certified company. Their parent company also is certified cruelty free as they only sell domestically in the US and do not engage in third party animal testing.
I have used their Vitamin C eye cream about 2-3 x a week and noticed it helps reduce dark circles and some puffiness.
