    I do not like the sticky feel of this product or the smell . It is too runny and wont be using it again.

    I would purchase this again if I could! However, it is discontinued in Australia. This is one of the first eye products I used. It does not sting or irritate my sensitive eyes and the packaging looks good.
    I used this to help prevent future problems so I did not see results but in a few years times hopefully I will be thankful! lol

    ok so i can see why people think this might just be water, it has that consistancy. However, it actually is a pretty good moisturizer! it doesn't really do much to brighten my under-eye area, but it keeps the skin nice and hydrated throughout the day. It's simple, it sinks in quickly, if i were younger and not fighting crow's feet so hard, this would be great because it sinks right in and makeup applies beautifully over it :)
    I found mine on ebay for a song, btw :)

    I've been using this for the past year and I'm glad its almost gone! This stuff is pretty useless imo, it did nothing for me.I would never get it again.

    Really did nothing. I usually like Avon's skin care products. I still use this sometimes before I freshen up my concealer. I buy all my avon products on ebay. Really cheap.

    This was FWP, otherwise I would say it's a big waste of money. It does nothing.

    I don't really think this does anything. Sure, the irridescent quality made my eyes pretty, but I don't think this actually improved my eye area in any way.

    I am very pleased with this product so far, it has minimized the puffiness under my eyes and its rich and nourishing! however, the dark circles are still there just a little bit better than before.
    Overall i would say that it has worked beautifully, thank you Avon!
    UPDATE: mmm... still have to find sth that do work more noticably. will try ageless result then :)

    This is complete waste of money. It's just like putting plain water on your skin. It does nothing. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but this isn't even moisturising. I really hated it!

    Luckily I got this as a free gift, I certainly wouldn't pay money for it! As far as the anti-aging benefits, I really can't say if this will prevent wrinkles or not, who knows? But I really don't like the consistency and the stickyness of this gel, it doesn't feel nice at all! I also think it's given me some little blemishes under my eyes.
    The other thing I've found is that it tends to seep into my eyes (it's very watery at first) and it really stings! I much prefer a cream product.

    I luckily got this product as part of a sale - it was $5 if I bought any other Anew product.
    This did not absorb well into my skin and left my eyes feeling tacky long after it had been applied. I also did not notice any lessening of undereye circles, no tightening, and no wrinkle reduction. Not a repurchase for me!

    I was a little sceptical about this product, as I am so used to buying expensive products. However i was surprised, its extremely cheap compared to other companies on the market, i love the pump (i hate jars/pots and tubes never stand) and the results also surprised me! def buying this again. Saw some friends after a couple of months and they commented on how refreshed i looked- I have also just had a baby i thought i looked permanatly tired!

    This is not a bad product. I have noticed my eyes looking brighter and bigger than ever! I only use this at night with the Retroactive cream. During the day I use the Retroactive lotion which is great! This is pretty pricey but I got it for about $12 during Avon's promotion. Would only rebuy if it was on sale again. Love the cream and lotion and would buy those again!! My skins looks refined, rejunevated and glows again!! I am pretty sure this serum is helping out just a bit..

    Assuming that this eye serum was anything close to the success I've had with EVERY other Retroactive+ product, I decided to go against the good advice of all you other MUAers out there who hated it. I wish I had taken your comments as truth, because many of your complaints were right on the money. This product just screams SHAME ON AVON!! 1) The serum itself does not absorb well and remains sticky on your skin for hours. 2) The bottle is diffult to hold and pump at the same time without wasting some of the .4 ounces that they give you in the first place. 3) It does not moisturize well, and makeup does not apply well on top of it. 4) Even on sale, it isn't worth the glass bottle that they packaged it in. Don't even bother, ladies!
