I have ticked I would repurchase, because I have done so twice. Courtesy of my father, I've had puffy under eyes since my early 20's no matter how cleanly I eat, or how much sleep I get. I like this gel because it is quickly absorbed, can be used on lower and upper eyelids and works quickly to tighten the area without drying me out. It's not a miracle worker but at around $12AU a bottle it does more than enough to justify the price. I'm 49 and don't have much in the way of crows feet or wrinkles, so I am not looking for hard core anti aging ingredients for day use. I use either a lactic acid or retinol cream all over my face and around the eyes at night, and a vitamin c serum all over my face, including the eye area, during the day before sunscreen, so I figure I don't need to go overboard with a high tech eye product as well. I will continue to use this as long as it agrees with my skin. A little goes a long way and I can't see the shimmery particles on my skin at all. I would suggest that people who find it dries out their skin are possibly using too much. The amount that comes out with one pump is far too much product to use. I would probably only use a third of that. I depress the pump very slowly until it dispenses a very small amount, rather than just depressing the pump fully. Love the packaging - hygenic and I can see how much I have left.
Edit - I have now been using the same pump bottle for about 8 months, so fantastic value for money. Once again, only use a very small amount, depress the pump slowly so you get just as much as you need. I use this once a day in the morning, and would probably use it 5 days a week (I tend to forget on the weekends).

Although I didn't see a significant improvement of the skin around my eyes, I use this product to remove puffiness around my eyes. It does a really good job at doing that. If I ever cry my eyes swell up to a point where I can barely open them. I use this product and literally within an hour, they are back to normal. I have no idea how it does this. It might be because of the cooling effect. I really like this stuff because of that particular purpose. It isn't the best eye gel on the market but it does do a very good job at getting rid of puffiness. I will be purchasing this again. I love the packaging. I haven't noticed any glitter when I put this product.

I got this for $3 or $4 at Big Lots and it's really not that great of a product. While it didn't do anything bad to my eyes, it didn't do anything good either. It did have a nice cooling effect at first and made my eyes feel smooth, but now it doesn't do anything and it makes my eyes feel tacky and kind of gross. I'll probably use it until it's all gone, but I won't repurchase it.

Has a slight cooling effect, didn't really notice a change in dark circles but there was a very slight decrease in puffiness. There are some small glitters in it. It also dried out my eyes a few times. Would not recommend.
The only nice thing about it though is that it has a pump.

Didn't like it. It is cooling, but I don't notice a difference in the puffiness under my eyes. Also, the formula contains sparkly glitter which isn't so noticeable.

This probably is the worst thing I've tried in my life, and probably my only regret! I was using a lot of expensive eye gels and cream prior to this, to me, the eyes have to be perfect and then everything else on your face would be perfect.
I have been using Biore skincare everyday for the last 3-4 years, but never tried their eye gels before. My dark circles weren't bad initially, and I didnt have bags under my eyes. I also never had massive lines under my eyes before, I'm only 23 I know lines is something I cant avoid regardless what age I am, but I also know they dont just appear in massive strokes under my eyes within 2 weeks.
Within 2 weeks of using this gel, my dark circles has gotten soo bad that everyone notice it now! No amount of concealer will hide my dark circle or brighten them up, I was looking soo dead! The lines also started appearing, when I notice things on my face, personally I think I'm over assessing the situation, but when your colleagues and family notice it, it's the worst feeling in the world!
I have since switch back to my Dr Dennis Gross, and my circles have improve and the bags as well, but the lines/wrinkles has yet to improve.

Yet another eye cream I've tried. I actually like to review them all so I can keep track of them and remember what I thought! So this review is from memory because I forgot to review it while I was using it, but it wasn't too very long ago that I review it.
Anyway, this is a gel eye cream with a little pump. I do like the pump idea, very sanitary and compact. My sister and I both got some to use and we both found that it stung our eyes a bit. Not my favorite part. We both just need moisturizing eye creams, which it did okay. It was cooling so it might feel good in the middle of a hot summer day, but who puts on eye cream in the middle of a hot summer day? In the end, I just didn't like it enough to live with the sting that both me and my sister experienced. Just a "meh" kind of eye cream.

WOW. This is the first eye product that actually did what it said it would do. I am amazed. I got this for $6.50 at Zellers and it instantly got rid of my dark circles. This works WAY better than my Vichy eye cream that I got for $40 at Shoppers. I am so buying this again.

This did absolutley nothing for my eyes and the glittery sparkles are unnecessary. I used this a few times and shoved it in the back of my medicine cabinet. Sad to say but I've never met a Biore product I liked.

I love this eye gel and I am so sad because I am worried it's been discontinued. I can't find it any where and when I finally did find it today it was on clearance. I really hope it hasn't been discontinued because it really works on the bags/puffiness under my eyes(both hereditary and from stress/lack of sleep). This is the THIRD Biore product that I have loved that they have just discontinued out of the blue. I am getting wary of really falling in love with any more Biore products because their product base doesn't seem all that stable to me. Other than that I really like this and all of their other products that I have tried.

I was looking for an inexpensive eye product & found this. Ive been using it daily for months. Its a moisturizing gel formula w/light fragrance, feels a bit cool, fairly good under makeup, and the pump bottle is easy to use. The texture is kinda heavy though. I have dark circles and fine lines under my eyes. This helps with that some and hydrates. Ive noticed it works for puffiness too.

This is an amazing eye gel! It DIRECTLY gets rid of puffiness under the eyes, in a matter of 5 minutes. I dont have very bad eye pufiness, but it works wonders. Just out of curiocity I wanted to use it on a person with much eye pufiness and thought of my mom. I asked her if I could expirement something for her under eye pufiness since she has nothing to lose. I applied the gel on her eyes and AMAZING! My mom couldnt believe her eyes!!!!! the pufiness was goneeeee!! she hasnt seen anything like this even with her 50$ eye creams. She loves it now.

I used to use St Ives cooling eye gel but it is discontinued . It was my go to product for under eye swelling/ dark circles. I found this at Ulta for 9.99 best to use a coupon for discount as the bottle is pretty small.
Only a little dab is needed under the eye . I keep it in the fridge for a wake me up cooling effect in the a.m. before applying make up. I love this stuff. The bottle is a little pump which is nice.This reduces puffiness and I have already purchased bottle number 4. I only wish it was a larger size for the price.
