Remarkably, Wonderfully Potent!

I generally don't turn to Benefit when it comes to skin care products (I don't say that disparagingly; I'm in a habit of using skin care from other companies and tend to associate Benefit with color). Huge exception here: "It's Potent! Eye Cream" means what it says and says what it means. It's a moisturizer made to brighten the eye area and fade dark circles. I don't have dark circles, but thi...read mores is still very valuable to me. It is a substantive cream which sinks into skin easily. I actually FEEL the benefits; my eyes are immediately and greatly comforted. After just a few uses, there is a decidedly more taut feel. It is charmingly packaged and a little goes a long way. What gives this cream such oomph? Glycerin and squalane, for starters (a naturally occurring lipid which is added to lotions because of its anti-oxidant, age-fighting properties). Linseed seed extract, sweet almond fruit extract, wheat and oat proteins and sodium hyaluronate account for some of the rest of the ingredients. Benefit claims the effects of increased elasticity and younger-looking eyes are also due to peptides in the formula. I find myself somewhat addicted to it (along with other products). I don't wear it during the day, but it is a "treat" I crave after my evening cleansing ritual. So far, tiny lines and wrinkles are staying away, and I could not be happier.

I got a sample and love it

I could not believe how it moisturizes. This is unbelievable. It is really rich and creamy, and a little goes a long way.

WOW

Earlier this summer I got a deluxe sample (a cute little jar) of this and I use it every day, yet I still have some left. This is very creamy and it feels so refreshing to put on. I definitely feel a surge of moisture every time I use this. I don't have any problems with fine lines because I'm still young, but I can see a noticeable firmness around my eye area because I normally have a little loos...read moree skin. My eyes look bright and awake. Don't expect the most drastic results for under eye circles, but I did notice some difference. It's more affordable compared to most name-brand eye creams, but you get a LOT of product. I'm highly considering buying a full size jar. If a tiny little jar lasted me for nearly three months, I'm sure a full size will last at least a year.

Not a huge fan of Benefit but...

This steals the cake. I noticed the results within three days of using this. My eye area is way more moisturized without feeling greasy and my undereye circles are noticeably lighter and my eye area is brighter. I'm really impressed. I like how it doesn't sting or have too much of a strong scent especially around my sensitive eyes. I'm still pretty young so I don't really have wrinkles around my eyes yet but this is one product I'm really looking forward to when I do.

Moisturizing Eye Cream

I have been trying a deluxe sample of this eye cream and I think it is great at moisturizing and nourishing the gentle eye area. Even the mini jar is beautifully packaged. The cream is medium thick and does not have a scent, which is good for any of those who have sensitivity. Even though this is an ultra moisturizing cream, it sinks into the skin nicely. A little product goes a long way too. ...read more This works well under makeup as well, although I prefer to use an eye cream with SPF during the day. From what I can tell, this doesn't do anything to alleviate under eye circles, which is why I am docking a couple stars. So many eye creams make unsubstantiated claims like this and it is misleading. Nonetheless, this is very effective at keeping the eye area nourished, which in the long term can help prevent wrinkles. At $32 for a full size jar (half an ounce) this is a really reasonably priced eye cream, especially compared to so many others on the market. I would consider purchasing this to use at night. I wish they offered this with sun protection so that I could use it during the day as well.

Good Eye cream

I have pretty bad under eye dark circles all the time, mostly due to genetics, so I'm always on the look out for an eye cream that can do wonders for me. I've been using this eye cream for 3 weeks now and it might have helped a little bit but it's gonna take longer for me to see results. I do love the texture of this eye cream. It has the perfect thickness and very easy to pat into the skin and quickly absorbed. Makes my eye area feel super moisturized and hydrated .

Benefit ♥

I have a deluxe sample of this and it's pretty nice. Creamy texture and no overwhelming scent. I also prefer eye creams in a pot. It's a good basic eye cream for someone in their 20s. I am in my 30s with alot of sun damage so I won't be purchasing this for myself but it is very nice.

Great product

This is a creamy and gentle texture that doesn't leave a snail like trail on your skin. It's long lasting and with no unpleasant smell. It is pricey but is long lasting. I use it morning and night and my eye area after 1 week is showing improvement. Also is helping fine lines. Tried many other products but this seems to be a winner. Try a tester sample first. Ask at their counter and you can get other samples to try too.

Got a small sample

It lasts forever, goes on really nice and really moisturises in a gentle way.

WOW it really is Potent

I received a deluxe sample of this when I ordered Benefit's Porefessional and it really is potent. This is very creamy and makes your eyes feel refreshed. You can feel the moisture coming from this product. You can see definitely feel the firmness around my eyes. My eyes like very bright and awake and there is less darkness under my eyes. A little of this goes a long way so you don't need to slather it on.
