I used this eye treatment just a few days and returned. It did nothing except dry my around my eyes. I purchased this because of its low price, ~$5, for antiaging eye product.
Here's the quotation form Paula's article: Is Any Cosmetic Better than Botox(r)?
"Botopical Instant Wrinkle Eraser Eye Repair ($13.39 for 0.5 ounce) is yet another product that claims to reduce wrinkles in lieu of Botox injections. You should know it contains absolutely nothing that can leave skin (around the eyes or elsewhere) wrinkle-free, either instantly or after several hours (or days, months, or years) of use. It is nothing more than water, thickener, film-forming agent, emollient, alkaline resin, slip agent, plant extracts, glycerin, preservatives, several more film-forming agents, and fragrance. The large amount of film-forming agents can constrict skin and cause irritation. Although that can make skin temporarily look tighter and smoother, consistent use will likely lead to problems that will end up making wrinkles look worse. Other than that, this is also poorly formulated lacking any state-of-the-art ingredients for skin. It is actually more problematic than helpful for skin."

I bought this to help with the eye puffiness that I wake up with every morning. This did help, somewhat. I haven't been using it long enough to see how it reduces dark circles. It smells like cucumber.
It doesn't seem to moisturize enough around the eye area. My skin feels taught after I use it, so I use another moisturizer over it, so my concealer will go on smoothly.
This is okay, but I don't think I'll buy this again. I look for something that adds more moisture.

This is one of those products that is supposed to act like low grade botox. I liked the one for the forehead, so bought this one. It has an unusual smell for an eye cream...it smells like vegetables to me! I don't like it under my eyes as it is very difficult to put my concealer over. It tends to ball up and look horrid. I've used it elsewhere, though, and it does seem to have a freezing effect on my skin, but it doesn't last as long as others I've tried. I'd repurchase the forehead one before this one.
