I tried this as it came in a sample pack with some other benefit products. I like the consistency, and it did 'something' for the skin around my eyes but to be honest I think it just helps my concealer go on better! The bags do look a bit better but are still there, perhaps I was hoping for too much. Agree with the comments about the pot, a tube would be more hygienic. All in all I'm glad I haven't forked out for a big pot of it.

I normally love Benefit products, but I was very disappointed with this eye cream. I have very dark purple circles under my eyes and it did not make any difference (I used up the entire bottle, applying it morning and night). I also found that it wasn't hydrating enough and had to use a second cream, or my makeup would crease terribly. I also do not like when products come in jars like this because it's not as hygienic and with eyes you want to be extra cautious. All in all a waste of 30$

This is the only eye cream I've ever used that WORKS! My biggest problem is dark circles and they improve significantly with this product.

After Benefit discontinued EyeCon I switched to Origins Gin Zing eye cream having heard good things, but it was a disaster for me - despite the 'brightening' claims it made my bags look instantly worse and didn't improve over the day or even with 3 months' use. I recently switched back to Benefit (which I had been a bit reluctant to do because I wasn't sure whether the new It's Potent was the same formulation as the old EyeCon) and I've noticed a marked improvement almost instantly.

Yes it's expensive, but it's worth it for me. Don't have fine lines or dry skin yet thankfully so can't comment on those properties, but it works on dark circles and leaves my eye area feeling hydrated but not heavy with product.

I love Benefit's Triple Face Emulsion moisturizer, so I decided to try out their eye cream.
At first I was not impressed. It sunk in super fast and felt like I had never put anything on. I figured I would give it a trial run for a few weeks to see if I could make it work. Nope! I hate it. I look like I have aged 5 years by the end of each day.
I still have lots left, but I am totally going back to Clinique's Anti Gravity eye cream. I should know better than to leave something that has proven itself.

The pros are that this comes in a cute bottle, but that's about it. Like other commenters, it stung my eyes when I put it on, even if I applied it super carefully. I also noticed that after a couple weeks of constant use, it made my eyes really gunky and gross D: I'm sure that for some people this would work, but for me it was awful. It's a shame, because when the Benefit salesperson put this on me in the store, it did seem to brighten my eyes and diminish dark circles almost immediately. But for $32, it was an expensive mistake. I've never really considered returning a used product before, but if I did then this would be the first! If you're interested in it then I would recommend getting a few samples of it and trying it out for a little while to make sure it works for you.

I read a fair amount of reviews on this product and chose to be a hopeful optimist. I shouldn't have to be quite frank. I bought this cream because the skin around my eyes is very sensitive and dry and the Canadian winter isn't kind to it. I found the consistency of the cream to be watery which I do not care for. I applied it and felt little to no difference in how hydrated the skin felt. It sunk in quickly, and that's really the only good thing I can say about it. After little over two weeks of continued use my eyes are a flakey, dry mess. Not to mention I noticed zero reduction in dark circles. I don't care for the consistency, the feel of the formula on my skin and it's done more harm than good at this point. Not to mention the glass jar packaging, I prefer a pump or a tube with my eye cream, seems more sanitary. So unimpressed, pass this one up ladies.

I have 2 samples of this stuff and it is nice and creamy...smells nice but I just don't feel like it does much other than make my concealer under my eyes go one smoother. My HG eye cream is Philosophy Hope in a Tube and it just doesn't compare. I like my eye creams really thick and super hydrating and this one is just watery in comparison.

It is just too pricey for the product's performance. I love many of the other benefit moisturizers etc but this one just isn't my favorite. I will use what I have but I will not repurchase it.

It's a bit pricey but it does make the skin around my eyes brighter and clearer. I was actually thinking just today that this is the first eye cream I have ever used that does not burn my eyes.

Rubbish rubbish rubbish. Also caused slight itchiness, flakiness and this was my second time with this (both times freebie sample sizes) did nothing.....
Don't waste your money
