I've been on a hunt for a eye cream that will DO WHAT IT SAYS IT DOES. Annoyed by all the false hopes, I resorted to Chanel to try their precision eye cream. I didn't like this cream at all. I feel that the texture was way too heavy and made my skin around the eye area look even more tired and crepey. I noticed no difference in my fine lines and dark circles. I've tried other Chanel skincare products and like this one, it doesn't work miracles and for what you pay on Chanel, it should!

I'm actually on my third jar of this product. Very nourishing for the eye area, but not greasy or thick. It feels very gentle on the eyes. Because it's so expensive, I save it for night time use only. One container lasts several months - so the price averages out (I guess).
As with any anti-aging product, the only way to tell if it works is if it can keep the wrinkles away longer. I'm lucky to not have any wrinkles yet - but only time will tell if this product will help me age gracefully.

I've used this eyecream for about 10 months now. I don't notice any significant improvement in my eye area. When I first started using this, the skin around my eyes actually started peeling. I guess that's one of the renewal process. And as I kept using it, the peeling subsided. I no longer experience any of that. However, like I said, there's no significant improvement. Overall, it's an ok eye cream. I think when I finish the jar, I'll probably go with another brand.

I have to second chesney on this cream: it's bad news! I bought it after talking to a friend whom I hadn't seen in five years and whose skin was great. She recommended the entire Precision Rectifiance line, so I went and got the whole thing: eye cream, serum, day cream, night cream. I actually first got just the eye cream, and the rest of the items a few days later. So, at first, I too found the cream moisturizing, but then I noticed that my undereye circles, which are pretty dark from a combination of aging and lack of sleep (I have two toddlers), got quite purple and the skin in the whole eye area was slightly itchy. I figured there's gotta be a reaction to some powerful ingredient, so I stuck it out for a week, hoping my skin would eventually get used to this. It looked progressively drier, as if I was using alcohol or something on it. By the end of the week, it was actually PEELING. I now have skin peeling all around my eyes, even between my eyes, on my nose, where I got some of the cream accidentally. This stuff is clearly powerful, but in the wrong way. My eye area is still irritated, and I feel crazy for not stopping right away. I haven't been able to wear concealer for four days because it just looks disastrous combined with the peeling skin.
I should note that I've never responded to cosmetics in this way except when I tried RoC with retinoids, and then my skin did get used to the product after a while.
From reading the reviews here, I have to confirm that all the bad ones correspond to my experience. Clearly this cream isn't for everyone.

I feel like warning people not to use this but since a lot of people like it I guess it's something you have to try for yourself. I wish I'd never put this on my skin. It does seem moisturizing at first but after using it 3 times I noticed how horrible my skin under my eyes was looking. I think maybe it did more damage and deepened/added some wrinkles. So far the Chanel eye creams I've tried have been the worst I've used. No more Chanel skin products for me! I'm looking for a non-irritating eye cream. I'm almost ready to give up on anti-age creams, too irritating and damaging for my skin.

As of right now, this is my HG eye cream. I am young and probably don't need an eye cream such as this one, that is supposed to fight lines and such. But, I do have a problem with lines right under my eyes, especially when I haven't gotten enough sleep. I also have very dry skin around my eyes and always have to use an eye cream. I am now on my third jar of this, I like it that much! It moisturizes wonderully, both morning and night (as in, it works well under my makeup during the day). I also love the way it sinks in right away. I will probably be buying a fourth jar of this soon, and another after that.. unless I find something absolutely out-of-this-world amazing that I like better than this- which is highly unlikely.

Love this eye cream!! it started as a sample for me and then I found a full size jar at a good price on e:bay. I immediately noticed a difference in the puffyness under my eyes. The SA at Chanel said it would probably take two full size jars before I noticed the crows feet going away. I already think there's a difference in my frown lines on my forehead and would definitely repurchase.

I think this is a good eye cream in the sense that it is moisturizing and feels substantial enough to moisturize the eye area, yet not too heavy. It sort of "sinks in" after application. However, as far as reducing any wrinkles or making the eye area look better in general, I have not noticed any significant improvement. Granted, I am in my late 20's and only have a few fine lines around the eye area, but I did not notice any improvement in them. For that, I lowered the rating to a 3.
Overall, I would repurchase for a general eye cream for the winter months if I didn't find something I liked better. continued >>

I purchased this after reading the great reviews about it here. How long did it take for you to get results from this? I've been using this for almost 2 weeks now hoping it's magic would start working, but NOTHING. This eye treatment doesn't do anything for me. I hate how the cream dries at the crease of your eye leaving a white line on your eye lid. I haven't noticed any puffiness go away or decrease in lines. Actually, I feel like I've gotten more lines and puffiness on my eyes since using this! I feel like it makes my eyes look swollen. Guess I'm still on the lookout for the best eye treatment.....

I have been trying everything in my search for a new eye cream. Lately, my eyes have become so much more sensitive, and I am developing very thin fine lines under the eye, as well as puffiness and darkness. If I use nothing, I get really dark and puffy and it is not pretty. I normally trust Chanel but Sublimage Eye made my eyes swell almost shut. I have used Eye Lift and the old formula Rectifiance before and loved both. I had a sample of Rectifiance Intense Eye and have been using it for a couple of weeks now. I have to say, this is my HG of eye creams. It takes away the puffiness, reduces the darkness, smoothes out the lines, does not irritate my sensitive eyes, keeps my eyes moisturized, and I can put it on before makeup as it sinks in quickly. This is the one. I don't know why I bother to stray from Chanel.

I bought this at the duty-free cosmetics store at the airport in Tokyo, where the lady said this was very popular.
I'm a big believer in using eye creams starting in your twenties. Skin under the eye is especially thin and needs extra TLC, and it's never too early to start. I think once you wait until the wrinkles come you've waited too long.
Anyway. This is a rich, luxurious eye cream that isn't at all greasy or uncomfortable to use. It absorbs beautifully and instantly tightens and brightens. I was actually surprised at how fast this seemed to work. Very worth the money you pay.
I use this at night, and use age delay (first signs of aging) anti puffiness eye gel during the day, but I think you can use this during the day before you use concealer.

This is my favorite eye cream, it's the only one that when I put on, I immediately notice that it's doing something, makes my eyes look rested and fine lines are faded, it's a wonder to user under concealer. Definitely my HG when it comes to eye creams. It's very pricey, but a little goes a long way and I don't see myself stop using this product unless something a lot better comes along.

I'm a huge fan of Chanel in general and I fell in love with this eye cream when it was used in combination with Lumiere Corrector Concealer and Teint Innocence foundation...my skin looked luminous and like I wasn't wearing anything at all...it's light and rich at the same time and dries fairly quickly. Has helped with tiny fine lines under my eye. I have been using sample packets of this and when I run out, I'm going to have to break down and buy this but I will be moving it slowly into a sample jar because I hate the way it's in this tub that you have to stick your fingers in...I prefer a pump.

Wow! I've been using BB Hydrating Eye Cream for years because it worked well as a pre-concealer & I've never been a big believer in eye creams that can do more than that. Until now. This cream is luxuriously rich, yet soaks in nicely with a few gentle pats. I cannot believe how it makes my fine lines disappear, and brightens up the darkness. I think there must be microscopic "brighteners" in this potion. There is a transluscent brightness in this that really lightens the undereye area in a subtle, but very real way. And the fine lines are plumped away with something else. And it's lovely as a pre-concealer, so this is my new eye cream for morning & night. continued >>

Holy Grail Batman! This is a must have product for me. It is everything I would want in an eye cream. It has a thick, rich texture without being too heavy. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin/eyes at all.
I use it at night and when I wake up, the skin around my eyes actually feels tighter. The best part, though, is that it makes my skin feel baby soft.
It is pricey, but one container lasts me a few months. I only need a little dab per eye. It's worth every penny!

Being a huge fan of Age Delay Eye, I decided to try this Rectifiance Intense Eye. The features and benefits sounded like what I wanted so I was excited to try it. Well, I love the texture, I happen to love rich creams, BUT, I got puffy eyes from it. They make the claim that it reduces puffiness, but that was not the case with me. I tried it on a few occasions and I gor the same result. As much as I like the cream, it's not good for me. Of course, I went back to Age Delay.

Possibly the most comfortable eye cream I have ever experienced!! I am 24 years old, so I do not have any concerns with wrinkles/ fine lines. I received a sample packet (very generous 0.08 fl oz) and became instantly hooked. This gel-cream glides on smoothly and leaves no greasy after-feel. For me, this eye cream smooths out my sensitive eye area so well it doubles as a primer for my eye makeup!! Chanel skincare products are costly, but when one finds a HG product, it all seems worth it.

I am in my late twenties with a clear complexion and normally no skin issues. I was looking for an eye moisturizer to help hydrate and prevent lines/aging. After using this moisturizer for 1 week I notice my makeup goes on smoother and my eyes look great and the same. What I mean by that is, I'm young without wrinkles, etc so I'm not going to notice lines gone, etc. However, the true test will come in 10 years :) so I'll let you know! In the meantime, I like the texture and scent of this eye moisturizer. It is gentle and does not burn my eyes. I would highly recommend this product, especially for any one with sensitive skin. The entire Chanel line is costly, but for my it's worth the investment since I use these products daily. And as a bonus, each product in the Chanel line has a lovely scent. I have a very sensitive sense of smell and I love this moisturizer. The only negative is the packaging. The jar is not problematic yet as I just started using it but I'm sure as I near the bottom of the jar, the design will prove annoying. My only recommended improvement would be a pump-style.

Lovely fresh and light cream that (hopefully) hold the wrinkles at bay. Does not bleed into the eyes which is important! (has happened to me with other creams as I live in a rather hot part of Australia) Could hope for slightly more fragrance, but overall a very competent performer.

A staple for me. I am 23 and I have problems of dark eye rings, dehydration, fine lines. This eye cream is very hydrating. It lightens my dark eye rings and demolishes some fine lines. I have used Sisleya Eye Cream and La Prairie Radiance Eye Cream. They are great but the texture of this eye cream is even better and even more moisturizing. I think it is good for ladies in their mid-20s or early 30s but I guess it is 'too mild' for skin with wrinles. I highly recommend this eye cream and the Rectifiance line.
