A bit watery but dries down for nicely for medium moisture. with natural herbal scent. Worked well under makeup and moisturizer.

I'm in agreement with other reviewers.
On application it doesn't do much. A short while after it somehow manages to get into your eyes and sting quite a bit. As it was quite expensive I've perservered but am at the point where I'm probably going to empty the cream out and use the bottle to carry around some foundataion instead.

I just got a sample of this and I have tried it for a couple weeks. I didn't see any improvement. Recently I noticed a lot of flaking around my eye area. This is not something I've ever had before. I went on makeupalley and saw that most people had the same problem. This eye serum is just too drying :(

What is this product supposed to do exactly? I saw no difference in reducing puffiness or dark circles and felt no moisturizing effects. Not worth the money.

After using it 3 times this product went directly to the bin, I didn't even dare to give it away, because i didn't wanted anybody to scold me.
I don't have sensitive eyes, but after using this my eyes felt like burning, and i actually had to wash it off.
I've let my mum try it, and after only one trial a bump was found under her eyes and she claims that it was because of it.

After five days of applying this cream twice a day, I need no concealer. I apply it early morning and night and my undereye dark circles started dissapearing, my eyes puffiness diminished a lot too. This is a great product, however it was a bit pricey. It does not work on fine lines nor wrinkles.

I got this serum as a gift. This eye serum smells funny and the scent just stays for hours. The packaging is nice and but the pump pumps more than it should. Have to pump halfway. It's quite moisturizing as soon as I put it on. Because I pumped more, I had some on my cheeks, too. Used it for 2 weeks. Unfortunately I got an allergic reaction around under eye and cheek areas. My cheeks and under eyes are still flaky and my cheeks are still red.

I've never had anything work on the dark circles under my eyes but after only about a week and a half, I'm already seeing results with this product. I've not had any adverse effects so far (fingers crossed) and I have sensitive, acne prone skin. The skin under my eyes was dark and very dry with those tiny fine bumps (no lines/wrinkles)...the bumps and dryness are gone and the darkness is greatly improved. I would definitely purchase again, even at this price. I feel I llok much more refreshed and bright about the eyes.

Let me start by saying I DO NOT have sensitive eyes or any sensitivity to any face/hair/eye treatments. Dr. Andrew Weil's Plantidote made my eyes water and water. I used the first night and my eyes didn't stop watering. I did not relate it to the eye cream because I've never experienced this before. I used it again the next night and the same thing happened, within minutes of application. Oh, well, in the garbage it went, but I was very disappointed because I had great hopes for thie mushroom eye-serum. I would never repurchase.

The entire Dr. Weil Line has completely transformed my crazy skin! I was skeptical because I never thought a product could help my dark circles and puffiness. But I saw a HUGE difference after two weeks. You only need a half a pump for both eyes. Its really rich. I am surprised from reading the reviews- I know everyones skin is different but application is important for results in the eye area. For someone who was always told that those eye issues are hereditary and I just assumed I had to live with it to now having bright eyes I am SOOO Happy!

This did not work for me. It irritated my eyes more than any product I've ever used. I do have sensitive eyes, but this made my eyes water for hours after applying. I also don't think it did anything for my eye area. The product didn't absorb. It just sat on my skin looking wet.

Yes, again with the surprise on the low rating... I use this daily and have gotten great results with it and the face serum. If you find you have issues with the pump, just twist to close it and air does not get in. :)

I received a sample of this because I complained about the darkness under my eyes. I don't have puffy or wrinkled eyes; I just have darkness due to genetics. I found that it really got rid of the darkness and I like it a lot because it is not just a concealer, but since my problem is not so bad, I'm not sure if I would spend about $40 for the little bottle.

non-irritating, pleasant, moisturizing, unimpressive. Basically, did no harm but did no miracles for my skin either.

I was surprised about some of the negative comments this eye creme received since I have had great results. I have a very sensitive eye area that has reddened, cracked and appeared as if I had chemical burns from other products in the past. This creme works just great on me. I find it absorbs well. It also tightens and brightens my undereye area. I have a small problem with the packaging though. Air does get into the pump - so that the first creme that comes out has oxidized to a yucky brown color. I toss the brown away and pump again to get a fresh amount. It is expensive and I find that somewhat wasteful.

I have only recently started using this product, but, I like it so far. I've noticed a smoother, brighter eye area after only a few weeks of using it.

I received a sample of this from Origins when I re-purchased the Mushroom Face Serum (which I think is excellent).
For myself, this eye serum works great and depuffs and smooths my eye area very well. I am really surprised that many people do not like this product.
I have extremely sensitive eyes and skin and I found this to be very gentle and non-stinging. No problems with this product at all and it actually cleared up a little bump that was under my eye.

Wow...I Was Suprised When I Saw Such A Low Rating On This Product. I Have Been Using Clinique For YEARS And Wanted To Try A New Eye Cream And Decided On This One. I LOVE The Way It Feels On. Very Silky And Soft, Soaks Into The Skin Nicely & Doesnt Stay Wet And Greasy Like Alot Of Eye Creams. Seems To Be Brightening Up My Dark Circles But Ive Only Been Using It About 2 Weeks (Thats Why I Only Gave It A 4) But As Of Now I Am Very Happy With This Product And Am Concidering Tryin More Of Origins Skin Care continued >>

I was so excited about the mushroom in this product and bought it before reading reviews. It made my fine lines more pronounced.

Horrible. I'll be returning it tomorrow. continued >>
