I chose the chamomile eye cream as one of the free samples you get when you order a MB product. I am starting to look for undereye creams and thought it's a free sample so why not. I have to say, this is by far the grossest thing i've ever put on my face. The first night i tried it, i patted some of it under my eyes and went on the computer for a bit. A few minutes later, i felt a sensation of water dripping down my cheek. I used a finger to investigate, and lo and behold it was the eye cream literally dripping down my face! Yuck. No way am i buying the full size.

so far, so good. i just bought this cream because my eyes have been super dry and i wanted something soothing. it's a little thicker than i thought and a little goes a long way. i'm not expecting miracles with this cream. i'm happy if it helps repair sun damage...which is should because it contains antioxidants. right now, i'm looking for something that won't sting my sensitive eyes and will give me the moisture i need. so far, this has been it...

This is one of the few MB products I tried that I didn't like. It is overly greasy and just sits on top of the skin, without absorbing. After using it a few nights, I didn't really notice any difference in the fine lines at the corners.
Sorry, ladies, I found this product a bust. I will not be purchasing this one.

This just sort of sat on my skin - as a matter of fact, after about an hour, I wiped under my eyes (because this was making them itch) and I swiped all the product off. It was just sitting there. I haven't found anything in this line I like. The marketing this company does, makes me feel like I should love something, but after trying many samples, they have nothing that works for me.

Rec'd. a sample of this and pulled out when I ran out of my usual (dior) eye cream. It's ok, I guess. Like other's I find it a bit greasy. I guess it would be a good eye cream to use at night but not really for the day.
It does moisterize and does not burn my eyes but I can see the little lines coming back.
Off to Nordstroms for my usual cream.
Will keep this on the shelf for emergencys.

I recommend people with dry skin around the eyes to try this :)
I used to have this patch of dry skin around one side of my left eye, and exfoliating just didn't do the trick. After a week or two of using this, it was completely gone! And no, it didn't come back. You just need such a little dab of this for both eyes, if it's getting greasy and oily, you're applying too much. The product will last a long time.
I'm only 18 but I have a fine line beneath each of my eyes from lack of sleep and stress. With school coming up, I'm hoping to turn a new leaf. I will edit if the eye cream assists in removing those under my eyes.

If you like oily greasy eye creams, then this is for you. I think it has a no fuss ingredient list compared to many other eye creams and I like how it keeps my orbital area moisturized all day. I like the oily greasy eye creams (even though it doesn't sink in) because it keeps my eyes moisturized and soft and not at all dry as the day goes on. The eye creams that sink in tend to leave my skin needing more moisture so this is more ideal for me. I got a small sample and it's going to last me for more than a month.

This is a wonderful, rich eye cream. Really gentle around the eyes, no stinging. It seems to plump up the skin around my eye a bit and keeps that skin from feeling fragile during the day. Definitely purchase again.

Harmless eye cream. Does nothing, doesn't sink it. Jojoba oil is way so much better. Maybe I'll use on cuticles. Last forever, can't wait to use it up!

This is a very greasy eye cream. I got a sample but I can only use it at night and it sits on top of my skin and feels nasty. I like a eye cream to be moisturizing and sink in at the same time.

I like this eye cream. It's very hydrating, more so than the others I've used. I got a sample and I really like it.

LOVE this hydrating eye cream! I was given a sample of this (which by the way is still not empty) among other things when I filled out the survey regarding my skin on their website. I have been told many times that the area around my eyes is too dry and dehydrated which I could see and feel. This eye cream felt so refreshing and moisturizing upon the first application. I have also noticed a slight reduction in the tiny fine lines just under my lower lashes. The area around my eyes feels smooth and soft as well. I have tried lots of other brands (Chanel, Clinique, philosopy, Shisedo, and even plain 'ol body cream) and nothing has worked like this eye cream! Can't beat the price! Will definitely repurchase.

I've been using the chamomile eye cream for two weeks (night, and day - under makeup), and it's made a dramatic difference in the appearance of lines under my eyes! A small amount is all that's needed. No irritation here, just nicely hydrated skin around my eyes. This one works for me -- and for le$$ money than I'm used to spending on (worthless) eye creams. I'll keep purchasing.

I got a sample of this from Mario Badescu. At first I loved this eye cream to use at night. I felt really good when applied it. After 3 nights something horrible happened. I woke up the next morning with my eyeballs burning! They hurt all day and at the time I just didn't realize it was the eye cream. The next day my eyes still hurt. I wasn't applying this close to my eyes (up in the lash area only below the lashes) so I didn't think it could be the cream. I stopped using all eye products and the next night went back to my original eye cream. All was well,so, I put the chamomile eye cream back on. I woke up again with burning eyeballs! I am sure now it was the Chamomile eye cream. The only reason why I even gave the 2 lippies is because it did deliever moisture to my eye are.
