My eyes are extremely sensitive. I have tried dozens of eye creams until now. This was the first and still the only one that didn’t cause a reaction on my eyes. However I didn’t feel any benefit of the product either🙈

It's not bad but it doesn't do anything special... I liked it, but didn't see the point in holding onto it when you can literally just use regular moisturizer.
Not the easiest to massage into the skin & I’m not the most fond of the scent. However, it definitely is hydrating for the under eyes!
