Lovely

I've tried countless eye creams in search of finding the perfect comprehensive one that will take care of ALL of my needs. Don't get me wrong--I don't have very many needs because I'm young and I don't have a lot of problems around my eye area. However, I am a firm believer that every person should start using eye creams starting in their early 20s because the earlier you start, the easier it's go...read moreing to be to maintain a more youthful look. Anyways, I came across this "complete" eye "balm" from Algenist. I came across the story of how the company first started in search of alternate energies, but discovered the amazing revitalizing effect that Alguronic acid had on living cells. Basically, what Alguronic acid does in this cream is that they revitalize collagen and elastic cells to completely renew the eye area. I also love that this has caffeine in it--that's going to reduce puffiness, firm and contour the skin around your eye area, but also increase blood circulation which is going to brighten your eyes. I have hereditary dark circles and almost nothing worked. After using this about a month, I have noticed a significant improvement in brightness under my eyes. This balm is super rich and creamy and I like to put it on in the morning and night so I can ensure that my eyes are going to stay well hydrated and supple. This also has cucumber, bamboo and shea butter extracts so it feels extremely soothing on skin, especially after the wiping I have to do to remove my eye makeup. One jar does cost about $65 for a 30mL (1oz) jar but I think that's a great price for a truly wonderful eye cream. I'm definitely going to stick around with this for a while unless I hear about something that's even better (which I assume won't happen any time soon).

No Results, Only a Feel-Good Product

I really like the texture and feel of this - it's light, smooth and creamy and absorbs quickly. Most eye creams are greasy or sticky, which I hate. I've used this most days for two months and no results in terms of reducing puffiness and dark circles. I barely have fine lines so can't attest to that. I also barely made a dent in the jar so if you like this it will last a really long time.

Perfection

This eye cream is tied in first place with my favorite Dr. Brandt eye cream. So creamy and hydrating I just love it!

Nice product

I've been using this product for about 6 weeks. I purchased it for dark circles under my eyes. I've noticed no difference with my dark circles, however my fine lines and dryness have shown significant improvement. I'll continue to use this until I find something more effective for my dark circles.

Not That Great

I know others like this, but for me it is meh. Does provide moisture to the eye area, but little else. Eyes do not look younger and wrinkles and dark circles are still prominent. I only have 1/3 of the jar left and will not repurchase.
