This is a great product. Used to use EL Uncircle for my dark circles with great results. I've had a problem with puffiness lately and decided to try this product. I had great results from this product overnight - my dark circles are lighter and puffiness reduced. When I went in for it the MUA talked me into the kit which was great deal. Love all of the products and would repurchase.

This is a miracle product if you have puffy eyes. I had a great skincare regiment and I messed it up due to my inquisitive nature to try on more products. It's either due to a hyaluronate serum or an eye treatment I bought from Target. One side was good, but the other side puffed up a lot. (Yeah, it got rid of the wrinkle but not the way I wanted it to.) I think I put too much of the products on, and my skin became irritated, especially because I slept on that side of the face. Of course, I tried splashing cold water on it all day, etc. I panicked because I wanted to show off my improved skin (mostly due to retin-A) to my family who are visiting in 3 days. Basically the Vibrant-C Eye works by camouflaging the puffiness with "luminizers". I instantly looked better. I like that it has vitamin C and acetyl-hexapeptide and that was a factor in buying this eye cream. Maybe over time it will offer some improvements, but I mainly got this eye cream for camouflage. Dimethicone is the 11th ingredient, shea butter is the 8th ingredient, and there is caffeine in this product. Right now there is a good deal which includes a full sized Vibrant-C eye brightening cream if you buy the sample kit, Px Brightens, for $50. The eye cream is about $40 if you buy it alone.

I don't know why there aren't more reviews for this eye cream! It's amazing! I've FINALLY found an eye cream that doesn't smear the rest of my makeup. The consistency of this cream is different from any other I've tried, also. I think that's what makes it work. I use it with the Prescriptives Flawless Skin concealer and my DARK circles disappear with just the slightest amount of both products. The only disappointing thing was when I opened the package I noticed that half of the bottle on the bottom is empty...I think the bottom pushes the cream up...if that makes any sense. Otherwise, it's worth the money.

I am so happy with this eye cream! I went to Macy's to return Clarins eye contour gel (which did absolutely nothing for my dark circles) and the SA recommended the new Vibrant C skin brightening eye cream. She insisted I give it a try..was a bit pushy.. but I'm glad she did pressure me into buying it! I wasn't expecting a miracle or anything but the first time I dabbed it on I saw that my dark circles looked significantly less severe. The cream has a nice consistency to it. It isn't watery like Clarins gel and has a shimmery tint to it. I cant wait to see the results in a few weeks! YAY!

Why, oh WHY couldn't they have invented this sooner? This is the "new and improved" version of the other Vibrant eye cream. This one has the added "vitamin C."
THIS IS THE FIRST EYE CREAM/TREATMENT TO EVER 'WORK' ON MY HEREDITARY DARK CIRCLES!!!! I want to do a little jig I am so thrilled. I was recently at the Px counter getting some new concealer (the Px concealer is also a fave of mine...really works without looking cakey) when the SA started trying to sell me this. At first, I was just humoring her as I have tons of eye creams at home. But then, she put the Vibrant-C under my eyes (on top of the concealer I had on since morning) and I could instantly tell a difference. My circles were much less noticeable, and it helped ot not keep layering concealer over itself. I bought the product, but didn't have high hopes. In 27 years, nothing has really helped so why would this be any different?
Today I put on the Vibrant-C underneath my concealer and didn't give it another thought. Every time I went to the restroom I would check to see if I needed more concealer or cream, but MIRACULOUSLY every time I checked, I looked bright-eyed and awake. What really is unbelievable is that when I just went to wash my face tonight, I didn't have that 'haggered' look so many women with dark circles have, and that I normally have everyday. I mean, wow. Are my battles with my dark circles over?
I think that the cream just alters the circles, I don't think that it actually gets 'rid' of them. Whatever. I LOVE IT! If you suffer from dark circles, RUN to the Px counter for some of this stuff. But make sure you get the new formula with the Vitamin C in it!

I am actually incredibly impressed with this. This absolutely makes a difference in my eye area in two seconds. This is the ONLY eye brightener that I have tried (and I've tried quite a few now) that actually shows you instant results in a few seconds! You can see it happening right before your eyes. I think it's because it's not watery like so many and has a much richer formula. Also because of the intense light particles. I do have a little discoloration and puffiness under my eyes. Concealers (no matter how great they are) always accentuate the fine lines around my eyes and look cakey. Other brighteners I have tried (Laura Mercier's and Smash Bo Photo-Op) actually made my eyes look more translucent and seemed to actually accentuate my dark circles! I fully expected this one to do the same thing but it really performs. I heard Jessica Alba say this was her must have favorite thing and I can see why. Now if you're looking for this to replace your concealer, it won't. I will say that if you are going natural for the day even without concealer it makes you look brighter and more rested. You can see a difference which I did not see at all with the other two brighteners. A good brightener will at least make some difference without concealer and this one did. The real magic begins when you blend it with a great concealer (Bobbi Brown's Corrector is hands down best I have ever tried in my life and I've tried them all). The other really good brightener is Bobbi Brown's Tinted Eye Brightener. That was so noticeable that I immediately fell in love. If I mix the two together I get a beautiful look (Vibrant and Bobbi's). Because I just have to try them all I did just order La Prairie's infamous brightener that is supposed to out perform even YSL Touche Eclat (and at $60.00 it better)! I will know soon. I do plan to also try Touche Eclat just so I can say I did try them all and know what worked and what didn't. Which one to keep stocking up on. EDIT no matter how great Touche Eclat or La Prairie is, I am going to keep stocking up on this one. This stuff is truly amazing. It takes a lot to impress me but wow! Every time I put this on it instantly knocks some of my bags out and begins to brighten. I am very impressed!

I really like this product. It is somewhat expensive--but I work at Macys so I get a discount on it, so its not that bad of a price then. I love the tingly feeling it has on my undereye- I can really feel it take care of puffiness under my eyes! I like the packaging, but at the same time I dont-- just becase it seems like it will be hard to get it all out at the end. But it is nice at the same time-- one pump gives me a good amount for both eyes, so I dont have to worry about having too much or too little, or wasting it. I would buy this again.

I actually like this product alot. I used to have serious dark circles, which is why I had purchased Benefit's bo-ing in beige. Needless to say, being an NC20 the color matched horribly, so I'd always have to wear a powder darker than my skin tone to blend it in. However, now I no longer have as serious dark circles, and I was getting tired of that caked on look that bo-ing woul give me. Caked undereye makeup enhancing the fine lines under my eyes, (you know, those little lines that everyone has, but don't even know that they have them) was definitely not the look I was going for. On top of that, the only make-up I'm using on my face is tinted moisturizer and TM is too sheer to blend such an off color. Oh, and for those who were wondering, the light in bo-ing was far too light, practically white. Another problem I was having was whenever I would want to re-apply eyeliner to my inner rim, the concealer who be smudged off and I would have to keep re-applying achieving that caked dry look I was mentioning before. The product however is just wonderful. It completely brightens up my eye area and looks so much more natural, which is the look I've been trying to achieve for a while now since my skin is finally in good condition. Anyway, if you don't have black undercircles, this product should cover them up pretty well. My undereye circles aren't the kind where I don't have to put on anything on them and it'll still like fine. If I don't wear concealer, I look like I have slept for weeks. Also, I have rather large circles, and it seems the larger your eyes are, the larger the circles get, and this product covered them up completely. Give it a try.....the only thing you can lose is your undereye circles.

I am surprised at the low reviews of this product. I have used it for several years and find it to be great in the morning before I put on my Px concealer. It it light and comes in a very easy to use pump bottle. I have extremely sensitive eyes and this product has never irritated them and one bottle lasts more than a year. At night I used a richer eye cream but for days, this is great. EDIT: They have reformulated this and now it burns my eyes. Why do they do this to a great product? I can't use it any longer.

A pale peach cream with subtle shimmer, this promises to “instantly help fade the appearance of dark circles and puffiness”. With regular use it “prevents the reappearance of dark circles”. For reference, I’m an NC35 and didn’t find this too light or unnatural with my complexion. Although it does brighten the skin around my eyes, the results are not very impressive even if I have concealer on underneath. In my opinion, YSL Touche Eclat followed by a good concealer does a better job at brightening my eyes and making me appear more rested and wide awake. I normally don’t wake up with eye puffiness so I don’t know if this is very helpful. However, despite months of use I have not noticed an improvement of my dark circles.

I definitely won't be recommending this product to someone who has very dark undereye circles. That's what i have and this did jack for them. It's not even very moisturizing. Def won't be repurchasing. Price is way too high for this product. Save your $$$ for something that works. Sadly I have yet to find out what does.

If you mix this with liquid concealer it works wonders on those dark undereye circles.

First off, this isnt a concealer, so those people giving it bad reviews probably expected it to fully cover their dark circles, which it wont. It is an eye brightener. It moisturizes and brightens the eye area. If you have serious dark circles, this wont be enough for you. But if your dark circles arent too bad, you will be happy with this. It is very subtle.

I have been using this for the past 1 to 2 months and like it. At the moment it is my prefered eye treatment as it's good for hot humid climates like Bangkok and I like the pump bottle for any and all my skincare products. Until I can find something else of a similar nature, this will be my preferred eye treatment product. It lightened my dark eye circles and firmed the eye area up. Eye makeup went on well following application without problems. And the formula was moisturizing without being greasy. Altogether good points - so far so good.

Horrid Product. Didn't moisturise, stink my eyes and made my eyes look worse. Packaging is horrid, you won't be able to get all of the product out with that pump bottle. Only cute thing was the shimmer in the cream; but that's about it.

I have been using my small sample size mini-tube for years. And this is definately my favorite anti dark-circle eye cream of all that I've ever tried. Do they really still make this? I hope so if my little tube ever runs empty!

I've used this product for about 2 months; it's another of my trials in my desperate battle against aging and "fine lines and wrinkles." I don't stare intently into the mirror at all my flaws as often as i should, but i do think i see some improvement in my undereye area. i do like how this slightly diminishes my very dark blue undereye circles...the product seems to reflect light or something...Anyway, it hasn't irritated my highly sensitive skin and it has no bothersome fragrance, so i'll give it a thumbs up.

It doesn't do much for eye circles though it's suppose to lighten them. Not very moisturising either. This creme leaves a pearly sheen on your eyes after application. Other than that, it did nothing else. Buy Andrea eye pearliser if you want the pearly sheen; it's much cheaper and works just as well.

After reading these reviews, I would never have purchased this eye cream. However, I received it as a GWP and I love it! It's a perfect for those days I don't want to wear makeup: it's matte, lightly moisturizes and I actually feel the cream tighten my puffy eyes. I don't think it brightens in terms of dark circles, but I do feel like my eyes look more pulled together after using this, in mere seconds.
