This beats out both high end and drugstore eye creams I've tried. The texture makes it a dream to apply: smooth & rich without being heavy. It seems to sink into my skin really well. It may be my imagination, but fine lines around my eyes seem diminished! If nothing else, this is a great hydrator for the delicate skin under & around the eye. The ingredients are comparable to high end products too- Squalene, vitamin E, Sodium Hyaluronate, all good stuff. I just ran out of this and will definitely repurchase.

This is a good basic eye cream. It is a light formula but really hydrated my eye area. Love the applicator tip which allows you to control the amount of product you use. After trying it out, I got a clogged pore under my eyebrow. Then I re-read the ingredient list and found that it contains Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil. Back to CVS it went. I avoid HVO and mineral oil like the plague. I wish Salma would re-formulate it and replace the HVO with Angara oil or something along those lines.
EDIT: 10/6/12-I called Nuance and asked them to remove the HVO. Then tonight I noticed that Nuance has a new eye cream out, AM/PM Anti-Aging Super Eye Treatment. No HVO!! I will have to try it out next.

The Nuance line is available at CVS. I got a coupon but my store only carries a limited selection of the line. I'm always looking for an eye cream to give me moisture in my under eye area, so I bought the Smoothing Anti-Aging Eye Cream. .5oz-$16.99. I don't have a very dark under eye, & I really can't believe a cream could change that. I do have oily skin, but my eye area gets very dry looking. Eye creams that claim to tighten/firm usually make my eye area look drier, so I wasn't sure about this one that says to smooth. It's in a small squeeze tube, which I like better than a pot. The cream goes on lightly & sinks in quickly. It works well under concealer & makeup. My eye area does look smooth & hydrated.
