I don't expect miracles from an eye cream, I don't believe in the things they claim to do. However, I believe in the importance of hydrating the skin without the stickiness and the irritation, especially around your eyes, and this didn't work at all. On me, hydration was minimum, in fact, it seems like it just instantly left the area dry, I could feel it around my eyes the entire day. I only used it for a couple of weeks. I will not buy this again ever, it was not worth the money at all. I can highly recommend the eye cream from "100% Pure" which has no harsh chemicals and leaves the skin moistured, smooth and glowy without being greasy, it has received very positive reviews here on makeupalley (but the packaging is not the best).

Oh my. I bought this when I was staying at my boyfriends and forgot my eye cream and Garnier was 50% off at Boots, this didn't seem too bad. At first I was pleased with how easily it was absorbed, but now, 2 months later, I have seen no improvement in my dark undereye circles and although I appreciate that they are genetic and can't be greatly improved, my undereye area doesn't even feel moisturised despite using this twice daily! Rubbish! At least I didn't spend much on it.

UGH. WHY I did not read the reviews, or at least, be mildly skeptical as one should always be when faced with wild claims from products I DO NOT KNOW. But I completely agree with the majority of reviews on here...the thing I found most irritating is that the clear liquidy formula is hard to get out once you hit the half way mark (yes, I did try to give it a proper go, in vain hopes that it would do SOMETHING). But more than that, once it does come out (you have to tip it to let the liquid flow to the metal ball contraption) it goes everywhere! Takes quite a while to sink in too...and if there's not enough product, the metal ball and the casing around it actually snags on my skin-the delicate skin around the eyes! ICK. Bottom line: DO NOT BUY, it's completely not worth it. Sure, it looks promising and ingenius with the fandangled metal ball (which I am giving one lipstick for, because it does feel nice, IF IT HAS THE PRODUCT HELPING IT GLIDE, NOT PINCH) but really, apart from that, USELESS and irritating.

Bah. How silly I was to buy this without reading the reviews. I didn't expect it to get rid of my undereye circles - genetic, have had them all my life - but I didn't expect it to make them WORSE! It pills horribly, it has a weird glittery sheen to it, and it irritated my eyes. And hooray, the hollows under my eyes are worse since using it. I'd used half the tube, hoping in vain it was something else causing them to worsen, but as soon as I stopped using this product they went back to how they were before (i.e. not as bad).
Am using the rest of the tube on my dry elbows, and it seems to work ok on them, so if you've been dumb like me and bought this rubbish and still have some left - chuck it on your elbows. I'm going to sink in the cash to buy Trilogy eye cream. Should have bought it after the excellent results with the sample I had, but silly me, bought this tube of horror instead.
To end it on a positive note: it comes in a nice tube. There ya go.

This is not impressive at all. It doesn't actually do anything really at all.. at least it was cheapish.
Does anyone know a cheap one that does work! I just want a decent eye cream, not a miracle worker.

Well I'm one of the people who don't get undereye bags and circles, but are born with them instead, and like most, I have already accepted the fact that they'll be there no matter how I handle my schedule and diet. So I don't expect a cream to remove them. What I do expect is that a cream moisturises the area and soothes it a bit, so that 1. things don't get worse as I age, 2. the area looks the best possible considering my genetics, 3. undereye concealer goes on smoother. I'd be happy with this cream if it did these three things to a reasonable extent.
However it does not. To be honest, I had checked the reviews before bying and had a clear idea of how this performs on most. However I came across it at a bargain price and I thought I might as well try it, hoping I could be the minority here. Well I'll sadly just more or less repeat what everyone else has said.
First of all, this doesn't really moisturise, at least not noticeably. The first time I tried it it did feel refreshing. It must have been the pleasure of trying something new, because I stopped feeling that after a couple of days. Now my eyes just feel as if I hadn't moisturised at all.
Second, it doesn't really make eye area look any different after using, except for one thing: it adds thin glitter to my bags. I found it almost unbelievable when I read people complaining about it, but to my - unjustifiable - surprise it does just this. Make eye bags glittery. Whoever came up with the idea either thinks that consumers are stupid, or are plain stupid themselves.
Third and most annoying, this cream does not help my concealer. It sabotages it instead. It makes concealer harder to blend and look cakey and very dry after it sets. That is what pretty much convinced me to give this cream up already.
Only good thing is, the cream is easily absorbed and very attractively and hygienically packed, if that even matters.
This is a shame because I really want to like any eye cream I spend money on, plus I've already also tried the new Garnier Essentials eye cream (which by the way is very different form this in every aspect) with very satisfactory results. I guess this one was a miss.

I like how this comes in a tube. It's more convenient and sanitary than in a jar. HOWEVER, this didn't do anything for me. I'm not expecting a miracle job for puffy eyes and dark circles, just something that moisturizes and sinks in nicely. I've tried the Garnier Lift (red packaging) and it works really well compared to this crap. Good thing I didn't spend too much on it since I got it at a LÓreal warehouse sale.

I made the mistake of buying this depite the terrible reviews, since I was looking for an inexpensive eyecream containing caffeine. It actually made a pretty good impression at first, as lightly moisturising and prehaps slightly reducing puffiness. However, after using it for a while I began noticing that the color in my undereye are was strangely reddish, and with closer examination I could see tiny, burst, red capilleries. BIG no-no.

This is an average cream. I agree it doesn't do much in terms of diminishing dark circles, but it feels and smells nice, and moisturizes well enough. I like the tube packaging too. Now that I'm done my tube, I won't be repurchasing, it's nothing special.

This is truly horrible in that it didn't even absorb into my skin. Instead, it flakes off (in a white dandruff-lookalike fashion) after I've applied it. The only pro I can give this product is that the packaging is nice and sleek but apart from that, this is terrible, I do not recommend it. I didn't expect miracles, but I wanted an eye cream that, at the very least would moisturise my eye area, which this failed to do. Also there's shimmery stuff in this cream which makes my eyes look glittery rather than 'awake'. I can understand the bad reviews on this.

Well, people really don't seem impressed with this product, and while I can understand that (it's nothing special), I have tried quite a lot of similar-standard eyecreams that have much better reviews. I may be feeling a bit kinder towards this since I got it free due to some till oddity in Boots. That's my kind of oddity.
PROS: nice hygienic tube. Light, easy-to-smooth-in formula. Feels refreshing and I really do think it reduces my puffiness a bit. Seems to stop my concealer from settling into lines as much as it normally does, and makeup goes on well over it. My tube of the stuff couldn't be described as 'glittery' at all - it has a very, very subtle shimmer that I might not even have noticed without reading the reviews on here. Has not made my eyes sore or reacted badly at all.
CONS: has had no noticeable effect on dark circles - but I've NEVER had an eyecream that did, and if anyone knows of one I'd really appreciate the information (seriously - when people see me without makeup they assume my boyfriend blacks my eyes on a regular basis. I need a product that will prevent me getting any more awkward pity-stares). It's also very lightly moisturising, so if you need more hydration in that area then it's not for you. Doesn't have sunscreen - why don't all eyecreams have sunscreen? Bizarre.
To sum up, if you find it at an acceptable price and prefer lighter eyecreams, it's not bad at all. It's no miracle-worker but then I've never expected miracles from stuff like this. I will probably use it up but I doubt I'll repurchase because it just isn't anything special. The hunt for a really effective eyecream continues.

I've used this product for over 4 months now and I haven't noticed any difference on my dark circles and my eyes still seem puffy! Although it is a cheaper alternative to the more expensive eye cream's out there!

Meh. Did nothing for my eyes. Just crappy and a waste of money - got this in a package with other things at Costco and it's garbage. Would never rebuy it.

Nearly forgot I tried this... probably tried to block out the experience! This cream did NOTHING to moisturise or protect skin. It did, however, make skin irritated, taut (unpleasantly so), dark circles exaggerated and well...there's simply nothing posititive to say except the packaging is ok. I prefer eye cream that comes in a tube. So the one lippie is for that. Will not buy or recommend to anyone.

I bought it for about 11 USD... for that money I can't buy miracles, I know, but I don't like this product very much and I think it isn't worth the money, better good and expensive that uneffective and cheap.
It's sparkling/glittery (not really a minus, but not a plus), doesn't moisture deeply (though, I think it would fit oily eye skin), I haven't seen great effects on circles and wrinkles. It also leaves a thin film on the lids if you put more amount than a tiny drop. Maybe depuffs a bit. I'm using it about a week and a half, maybe it's too soon to expect something, but I usually notice before what works for me and what not. I will end this tube but definitely won't buy again.

Ack! My favorite eye cream was discontinued and I thought I'd give this a shot. Big mistake. When WILL cosmetic companies give up the light-reflecting particles idea? Every product I've ever tried that does that is a complete bust -- like having glitter all over your face. This one was so glittery that is shimmered THROUGH my very heavy concealer, which barely stayed on because this eye cream made it pill and flake off. I only used it 2-3 times, then tossed in a drawer.

I tried this eye cream and can only agree with the other reviews. it does nothing!!! I particularly wanted to reduce puffiness.
I was really prepared to like this product but i'm sorry I bought it. Hopefully i will find a reasonably priced product that i like and then will use this as a facial moisturizer just to use it up.

having reached my 50's without bothering with eye creams i have decided to give it a go. Being a bit of a cheapskate I resolved not to spend too much, so I bought this nifty little tube for around £8.00 to see if it would
1) reduce puffiness
2) reduce fine lines(fortunately not too many)
For the sake of scientific rigour (LOL) i tried it on one eye only for 2 weeks. The results? none whatsoever!!! it didn't do any harm, no allergic reaction, no nasties... but it didnt do any good either. i would like to add that i have observed the treated area carefully with a magnifying mirror (i haven't however taken any before and after photos)
I am not quite convinced that you can get rid of bags and/or wrinkles with a cream. i think it's probably a case of having enough sleep, drinking enough water and having a healthy diet. However, if any of you knows of a product which works, please let me know, i am willing to try it, it can even be pricey, as long as I don't have to re-mortgage the house. Don't bother Garnier , though...

Unfortunately, this eye cream does absolutely nothing for me. Like other reviewers, i wanted to like this product, and while the tube is really handy, the cream inside is not.
There is absolutely no difference with puffiness or dark circles: Ive tried other Garnier products in the past and have always been reasonably happy but this one is probably the worst. Best to give this one a miss.

The worst eye cream I have ever tried. I'm close to thirty and fair with a lot of sun damage and more wrinkles than someone my age should have. Thank God I jumped on the sunscreen bandwagon in my mid twenties and seem to have stopped my eyes from getting any worse than they were at 26, due in part to heavy eye cream usage. I normally use Dior or La Mer, and while I don't advocate high end as a rule, Nutritionist isn't the eye cream to make me go drugstore. I am one of those unlucky girls who have only found results with high end creams. So how did I get to Nutritionist? It was a rough month, I was out of La Mer, I really couldn't justify spending the money on La Mer, all my SA friends were MIA so I couldn't get samples, and so off to the local Coop I went armed with the 12 francs it costs to buy this (versus 120 francs for La Mer's eye balm). I wanted to like this. Even I feel a little silly buying Dior eye cream. I so wanted a drugstore eye cream. The tube is great, which is why it gets four for the packaging, I wish La Mer and Dior came in this type of tube. However, Nutritionist neither moisturizes nor deals with puffiness, nor does anything to my fine lines-although fine lines at my age have more to do with lack of moisture than anything, so see point number one. The lack of appropriate hydration was the deal breaker for me which gave this one lippie instead of two. I wasn't expecting it to make miracles, but please moisturize my eyes! That's all I want! So don't waste your money, even only ten dollars, on this. The next time I am poor and out of eye cream I am just going to put Nivea cream on my eyes.
