Hideously expensive, and not even as moisturizing as the Clinique All About Eyes, which isn't even one of the most moisturizing eye creams out there. It was recommended by a Sephora salesperson as one of the most moisturizing eye creams. I wasn't expecting much -- just moisture to reduce the appearance of fine lines (I can talk the talk! just appearance! not even asking for real results!) -- and this just delivered diddly-squat. The only thing going for it is that it's pretty good as a base for undereye concealer. It's a thick cream that goes on pretty smoothly. I can't really bring myself to throw this out so have resorted to using it as an allover moisturizer for long haul flights. It works fine as a heavy-ish moisturizer, and again, has a bit of a smoothing effect so makeup goes on well over it. Otherwise, a huge disappointment. I should have read the MUA reviews first -- since I've benefited so much by MUA reviews, I was so compelled by my experience to review it so others won't waste their money on this one.

I used this product religiously for 6 months and saw no results - no firming, no reduction of fine lines, no reduction of under-eye circles, and really nothing at all! I am 25 years old with fair skin and I'm starting to get wrinkles around my eyes because I smile a lot and I have very thin skin around my eyes. I bought this to "firm things up" a bit and hopefully see a reduction of my fine lines. Well, after spending the ridiculous amount of money that this costs, I have to report that I saw no results. I kept using it, hoping there would be some difference and it was all a waste. It does moisturize, but it doesn't sink in. Seriously, buy a $10 Eucerin moisturizer from the drugstore and you'll get all the same benefits you would have gotten from this.
I bought this on Sephora because of all the great reviews. I'm so disappointed that I fell for all the positive reviews on Sephora, because this product was a waste. I seriously question who writes reviews on Sephora. Anyway, don't buy the hype. Save your cash and don't buy this...

This was nothing but a huge disappointment. I purchased this to do a bit more than just moisturise, but all it did was that. I saw no firming effects but it is a decent moisturiser if you are dry around the eyes. The texture is thick, almost balm like with an off-like smell. I would only use this in winter and if you are oily, this would be too much. I also felt that it exacerbated my milia, so if you are concerned about that, I think the under eye rescue would be a better choice since it’s not as thick and has a silkier texture. I felt that this was nothing more than a hydrating drugstore eye cream. I cannot recommend this. I don’t understand the hype around this brand, I don’t think it performs at all and costs a bomb. I did not see any other visible improvements it advertises to produce. I feel that EL Advanced Night Repair for eye is a lot better than this and that this performs on par with a $15 eye cream.
