Very disappointing

I thought that since this product had hyalurinic in it, that it would be a good firming cream. It does absolutelu nothing except feel greasy.

Felt heavy....

I hardly use eye creams because I feel like they're a wasted step but since I got a deluxe size of this for free, might as well try it. This feels very greasy so my undereye area can sometimes itch because it doesn't really set or absorb. It feels like it just sits on top of the skin. I've used this for almost 3 weeks now and I can't tell a difference. I don't have too much undereye bags but just ...read morea little bit of dark circles. I don't notice it cooling like what some reviewers said. It just feels like a regular lotion to me. I think this would be really good for people with a severely dry undereye area since it's greasy and has some moisturizing effect. But this is not for me.

Nice for nighttime

I have been using this for the past couple months and quite like it. The hyaluronic acid in this makes it very moisturizing. Some reviewers have said that this is greasy and although I don't agree with that, I do think it is much better suited as a nighttime eye cream, rather than for use during the day, under makeup. A little of this goes a long way, so you really don't need much. Perhaps usi...read moreng too much of this could lead to a greasy feeling. Since this does not have an SPF in it, I have always used this just for the night. It effectively provides moisture, which in the long run will help prevent wrinkles. This cream does not claim to reduce under eye circles, provide lifting or tightening or anything like that. It is merely meant to moisturize. I think that is all we can expect from most eye creams anyway.

Doesn't Live Up to Claims

This eye cream is quite disappointing. It did nothing for making the skin around my eyes feel hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is supposed to be one of the best ingredients for hydration, and usually is, but this product failed. The only thing it seemed to do was leave a greasy feeling behind. A greasiness that sat on my skin doing nothing. Definitely not a product to use before eye makeup application. ...read moreLightly powdering over this cream beforehand does nothing but clump powder. The consistency is okay but that's no matter when a product fails to perform. It felt like it was burning the outer corners of my eyes on top of it all. Not a product I would recommend.

Won't Erase the Battle Camouflage!

There was short of spectacular as I haven't seen any results that was significantly pleasing. It works as any other moisturizer would so I'm not quite certain if this is really a good investment. After three weeks, my eyes remained the same as I studied before and after photos but those are just my personal results. This may work better for other. This is certainly creamy and cooling to the to...read moreuch and gives eyes a depuffing effect if you keep this in the refrigerator and use it before you apply make-up. It does also sting a little if you get some in your eye so be very cautious. Overall, I'd encountered better than this. I actually don't have dark circles or wrinkles but I do have a fine line under the eyes I wanted this to help but unfortunately, all I have left to say is "don't expect miracles."

So What?

This is not my favorite eye moisturizer by far. It was WAY too greasy no matter how little I used. The oily residu spread beyond my eye area and aggravated my acne-no matter how careful I was to try to contain it. It smelled nice and was reasonably priced but I saw little improvement in wrinkles and dry lines. I greatly prefer the Olay products.

Heavy but inoffensive

This is surprisingly heavy for an eye cream that is marketed as one of the medium weight creams in the line. I quickly adapted to using much less than I ordinarily would and was much happier with the product. (This seems to be a standard response to Mario Badescu products. They tend to go a little further than I'm expecting them to). Over several weeks of nighttime use and at least a week wearin...read moreg it night and day, this did not perform any miracles for me. It did, however, help with irritation from wind-burn around my eyes and eliminate a couple of dry patches I was developing. Other than that, this is a perfectly serviceable moisturizer for the eye area. It is light on irritating ingredients and isn't heavily fragranced or colored, so may be suitable for sensitive skin. But other products can do more at this price point, and there are even better eye creams in the line.

Meh

Thin, kind of greasy. Didn't do anything negative, but didn't improve my skin either. I won't buy again.

Greasy

I have oily skin. When I apply this in the morning, the eye cream doesn't really get absorbs fast in the skin. Actually, it stays greasy. I have to almost wipe it away because it's too oily. Also uncomfortable for me because I wear glasses and there's oily residue on it because of the cream. Basically, it's better for night before sleeping.

A good basic eye cream

I like Mario Badescu products; they are reasonably priced, gentle for the most part, and they don't test on animals. I like this eye cream, as it moisturizes well, and softens lines when used regularly. Also has a very faint scent that doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes. Not a miracle worker but a nice smoothing, soothing eye cream.
