ok, for depuffing this is super , I put it at night and wake up with a much reduced puffiness in the morning than usual however, in terms of darkness or moisturizing this done nothing. The bad thing about this is that it balls up and causes makeup to be rubbed off etc. I gave it 4 for the excellent depuffing properties , packeging and nice scent.

Just a fair product in my books. It did help to moisturize and take away some puffiness, but it works about the same as a $5.00 eye cream by Nutrogena. I really didn't find it had much of a cooling effect, and it did not keep the skin around my eyes smooth at all, in fact I felt that the skin around my eyes felt rubbery. I tried for a week using varying amounts, but still the same results. A tad bit expensive for the quality. The pump is nice, but of anyone who reads my reviews knows, I much prefer a tub I can dip my hand in, to get the most out of the product. I'm glad I tried this, but I will not buy it again. I am still on the search for my go to eye cream!

I bought this product, hoping it will take away my dark, puffy eyes. I'm 14.
It doesn't feel too cool on your eyes when you apply it though. and if you apply too much, it will leave thin white layers that WILL show on your eyes. it looks like my eyes are over-dried.
But, i think that this gel helped moisturize my eyelids a bit; I'm not sure. But after using this for a week, I HATE it. It actually made my puffy eyes a lot darker and visible. even when i'm not using this gel.
DON'T recommend it.

This has made my dark circles *almost* disappear. They used to be horrible, no matter how much sleep I got (I guess being super pale just made them super visible). It vanquishes morning puffiness within minutes. At night, I apply it all over the eye area. In the morning, I just apply it on my undereye area, otherwise I notice that my eyeshadow doesn't go on properly. If you're having issues with it "peeling" away, you're slathering too much on. You just need a tiny amount--put it on your pinkie finger and apply with the pinkie (it's the weakest finger and will thus apply less product and tug at delicate eye skin less than other fingers would). It sometimes stings for a few seconds after putting it on, but I've had no other reaction from it. I'm assuming the stinging is from whatever ingredient it is that reduces puffiness/shrinks down the skin. That stinging is the only thing that keeps it from getting a 5, but the amazing dark circle/puffiness qualities are what will keep me with it until I find something that can do the same thing without stinging.

this stuff looks thick and peel-y around my eyes, kind of like skin peeling after a sunburn. I can't tell if it helped the puffiness or not.

I'm surprised by all these bad reviews. I thought the gel was great. It made my dark circles disappear after a week of use, it was hydrating enough, it wasn't too greasy, it never burned, it never smelled bad, and the bottle will last quite a long time. It's not the most effective eye cream out there, but for a drugstore eye cream, it's quite good.

I do not have dark circles or wrinkles under my eyes, but I have significant puffiness. This reduced the puffs immediately, for which I'm grateful.

Ok, I have to say that I love the Yes to Carrots of the Carrot product line, but for some reason even though the Cucumber products are geared for those with sensitive skin, the face cream and eye gel of the cucumber that I've used have done nothing but irritate and burn my skin. I'm trying to figure out why??? I like the packaging as the pump keeps the product clean and untampered with and when i put a dab on around my eyes, it did feel cooling at first, but then all it did was feel super tight, uncomfortable, and began to burn until I had to just wash my face and go back to my Carrots day lotion. I would not reccommend this to someone with dry, sensitive skin like mine.

I've been trying to find an eye cream/gel that will help reduce my dark circles and soothe my eye area - even just a little bit would make me happy.
I was recommended this so I gave it a whirl.
Well, I was slightly disappointed to say the least. This stuff dried my eye area and did nothing to soothe or lessen the dark circles. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch but this just didn't do anything for me sadly.

This product gave me a strange allergic reaction. It made my under eye area red and parchment looking, it stung really badly too. My skin isn't very sensitive either. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone especially those with sensitive skin.

A little better than the Yes to Blueberries and Yes to Carrots eye creams, but still mediocre, compared to Boots #7 Protect & Perfect, that is in the same price range.
It did not improve my puffy eyes and dark circles. Not enough moisturizing, but ok cooling effect. Not bad smell but who wants perfume in their eye cream???!!!??? They advertize “natural products” but would add chemical based, irritating, fragrance!

I love this! It really does lessen the circles under my eyes even extremely dark ones like mine.
I have medical issues that keep me from sleeping much and getting that rested look.I had those bags that were very dark, almost black since I was 13 year old and thought that I just had to live with them. I tried a whole bunch of concealers and found a few great ones but felt they would work better if my circles were a little lighter so I went on a quest to find one I wasn't allergic to and more important one that worked .
After a few useless products and returns I found The "Yes To" line . I put it on that first night and by the next morning the circles were 25% better, I was amazed! It continued to improve the bags as the days went by.The bags are now light purple and not only do I look more rested but I use a lot less concealer than before.The brightening claim is true there is a very slight shimmer that does brighten the under eye but isn't obvious to others.Not bad for a product that sells for 1650 and last forever.I have had it for 6 weeks and I have only used about 1/3 of the product!
A Few Points on the Packaging
Light pressure on the pump gets the product out( you press hard you get way more than you need.
It's really sturdy and won't break/crack when dropped
Every time you press the pump part of the base winds upward to simplify getting the last drop out of it
Some drug stores have a facial kit that sells for 19.99 and you get three of the full size cucumber products.So if you haven't tried Yes To before that might be a great way try them.

Terrible. Sticky, filmy and doesn't moisturize whatsoever. Fails to live up to its anti-puffiness/dark circles claim. Returned.

when i discovered it in the shop, i was so seduced by the ingredients because they are all known to be good for the eyes, and it was so cheap for a natural eye product. but, it put me off to see that it said not to get it in the eyes. i thought that was weird. well, after some time i bought it anyway since i needed smth urgently. it doesnt sting, its not oily, has a gel texture. before i was worried about the not so smooth texture under my eyes as a result of heavy and oily eye cream (nivea). so im pleased with this one. i guess it will last forever because only a small amount is enough for all around the eyes. if i use more, makeup becomes cluttered. i keep it in the fridge and use it day & night. packaging great. update: i lowered a lippie because it stings my eyes sometimes continued >>

I know I am probably one of the few on here that will say this, but I hate this product. There are a lot of good reviews on here for it, so when I was out one day I decided to purchase it. I have puffy eyes and bad dark circles from lack of sleep and allergies. So I bought it and that night decided to try it after washing my face and putting on my night cream. I don't know if my eye area is just too dry or what, but it stung sooooo bad. I decided to keep trying to use it and experiment with application and the amount that I'm using and nothing helps. It also feels sticky on my eyes for a while after I apply it before it absorbs. It has done nothing for my dark circles, but it did help with the puffiness.
So...
Pros-
Relieves puffiness
The packaging is good.
Cons-
Everything else.

To start off I have extremely puffy eyes! I never sleep for more than 7 hours a night. Hence really bad dark circles, they look quite red/purple. I randomly picked this one up after hearing good reviews about the brand itself, didnt know much about the eye gel itself however purchased it anyway. Been using it for a week now & initially thought I'll try it for 2 weeks first before I can judge this new product. Let me tell you this has already DRASTICALLY reduced my puffiness! It was pretty much instant results as soon as you apply it. It was extra soothing! Really did feel like having cucumbers on your eyes. It also managed to reduce a fair bit of my dark circles which I am very happy about. Not completely gone, however am looking fresher every morning :) I have tried several eye creams, gels out there ranging from drugstore to high end and this actually works alot better than all those I've tried. Great value, great product would definately buy again. I would've given 5 stars if it treated anti-ageing. continued >>

I got this because my dark circles underneath my eyes get really intense unless I sleep for close to 10 hours, so this was on sale and I was hopeful. While it does greatly reduce my under eye circles, it I think discolors the area underneath my eye and makes my freckles more pronounced so I'm kinda worried about the trade off for less intense under eye circles. While yes it works, I don't like it turning my under eye area browner so I think I'll just stick to pretty extreme concealer.

Not for me, I'm still young but I already have dark circles and wrinkles.
I was looking for something hydrating and help reduce my eye circles. It slightly reduced my circles, but not by much.
I do LOVE the feeling when I put it on though, very cooling and it's like placing cucumbers on my eyes. There's a slight fragrance that I don't mind. You also need a little bit to go a long way, so the price (for me at least) balanced out. I also really like the packaging, with a really nice pump that's easy to control, so not too much product comes out!
Wouldn't repurchase though, just because it does kinda sting under my eyes (not TOO much), and when I use it under make up my concealer doesn't apply nicely - it makes my concealer "ball" up under my eyes. I also don't find it this moisturizing either.

I'm re-doing my review. The old one was after using the worst eye cream I've ever come across (which made my circles darker). This is average at best. If you want an eye cream for puffiness I'd go with this (hence the rating of a 3 instead of a 1). This has a cooling sensation and would be even better if put in the fridge. I do not need this. I have dark circles not puffiness. I never saw a diminished line or darkness under my eyes. This does not work unless you want to decrease puffiness.
