A friend of mine recommended this, and I saw it on sale for 15ish so I gave it a try. After using this for several months in the morning before I apply my concealer, I am finding myself addicted to this product. I honestly do not know whether it is preventing wrinkles, but it gives a cooling sensation to the area and makes makeup much easier to apply.
I also use this when my lids are feeling dry, and it really makes them feel so much better.
I have had terrible eczema on my eyes, and so I have to take extra care to keeping lids moisturized and not use any irritating products. So far this product really did help me.
I think the packaging and the way you apply this product is not exactly hygienic though. Luckily I have not had any infections so far.

I like this eye stick a lot, it awakens the area around my eyes and its moisturizing. Overall Im very pleased like with most Vichy products.

i bought this and it was an expensive waste of money. it felt cooling and it looked pretty, but it didn't do anything for my eyes. i didn't really expect it to do anything for dark circles (nothing can, except sleep & less time on the computer), and it didn't. it didn't do much for puffiness or tired looking eyes, which is why i bought it. it wasn't moisterising at all really.
it didn't do any harm. but didn't do any good either. i think it cost me 14 euro. even cucumber slices do more than this and for a lot less.

Since I have very sensitive skin I use lots of products by vichy. This stick is ok. My mum bought it for me because I have a big problem with swollen dark circles. I however would not repurchase it. It does remove the puffiness but it does nothing for the dark areas. 4 lippies because compared to other even high-end eye treatments at least it does someting though not much

I bought this on a whim because I've had good luck with Vichy products before. The blue tube was appealing and the scent was very subtle. Upon application, it gives my under eye skin a cooling sensation. But after finishing the stick, it doesn't really do anything other homemade treatments can do. Besides it's pretty expensive (CDN$18), and doesn't work well.

Indeed, don't waste your money! It kept feeling stocky even an hour after application and I did not see any improvement in puffiness or dark circles. However, the light blue tube looks cute.

I bought this in October and can't say it does much but "wake-up" the tired eyes for a few hours at most. If you have not had a good night's rest you may benefit but even then- you can get the same result with tea bags or cold spoons. I feel like the CVS beautician kinda pushed this product. I wanted something for my puffy eyes and circles - I am also noticing lines - this is what she recommended. Don't waste your money on this.

This product does not work. It is way too expensive for what it actually does. It just gives a cooling sensation when it's applied and that's it. it doesn't decrease dark circles.
the packaging looks cool at first but it's not sanitary and it gives you less product than it packaging looks like.

I like the cute tube and the chapstick - like form, however this does not last long at all for the price. It doesn't do anything incredible after using it consistently for a few weeks. I will not repurchase.

i bought this product about 2 weeks ago and i like it. it has helped to minimize my dark circles in a way i haven't seen anything else do yet. it helps a little bit with puffiness, but i've used cheap eye gels that have been better for this.
i like the packaging (its like a fat chapstick in a lovely tiffany aqua blue color) and i think it makes it much easier to apply and it seems less wasteful than squeezing product out of a tube. it is cooling, but only for a very brief time as other reviewers said.
it definitely helps with the dark circles i get from using the computer too much, but maybe not other kinds of dark circles like hereditary ones or dark circles in older women (i'm mid twenties).
the formula is nice and light. sometimes it sinks right in and i wouldn't know i've applied it and other times i can still feel it hours later as slightly tacky. maybe those times i applied too much. in any case, it feels light enough that i feel like i could layer it with another cream if i wanted to. i have a cheaper q10 eye cream that i put on the crepey/tissuey beginnings of wrinkles.

this product from vichy was way below my expectations.it does nothing to the eye area apart from a faint cooling sensation on applying it but was so mild you have to concentrate to feel it. i didn't make my eyes brighter nor did it moisturize and it did nothing of my dark circles either. total waste of money and not to forget its a pain to use it not a very convenient user friendly packing. one of the worst eye creams i'v used. the only good part it did look pretty on my dresser because it has a lovely colour. not a good reason to buy it again.

I am such a fan from the Vichy range because these are products that contain special ingredients and are all of them rich in Vichy spring water. I am aware that the spring water as amazing qualities and it's always so nice to know I'm using a product that is actually rich in that substance. Living in Europe, most precisely in Portugal, brands like Vichy and Avéne are well known and recommended by most doctors.
This eye cream is packaged in a nice light green tube and is very tempting mainly if you´re addicted to cosmetics like me! The smell is almost non existant and the texture is cold, refreshing. When I first used it I felt it was too cool but I just got used to it and then I began to really enjoy the cooling feeling upon application. It is very easy to use and really brightens the eye area wich is what this cream is supposed to do in the first place.
I used an entire package but I wont´t buy again. I like the product but it has some things I'm certainly not looking for in a eye treatment.
Pros
- It´s easy to use
- Nice sensation upon application
- Under eye area feels more rested and bright
Cons
- It doesn't moisturise enough
- The package is not hygienic
- It lasted me for nearly 2 months (though in the box says it will last for 3 months when used 2 times a day)
So, do I recommend? Well it depends. If you have puffy under eyes or feel that you don't need much moisture you can actually like this. But try it in Summer because in winter you probably won't be satisfied with the moisture level this provides. If you have dry or even very dry skin this product isn't right for you.

The people at CVS must get a kick back or something for this product because 2 separate sales people have recommended this product for under eye circles. I only purchased it once (thank goodness) because it didn't seem to do anything at all for me, or any other reviewer for that matter. I love their creams, but Vichy needs to work on their eye products.

I couldn't resist this slickly packaged product when I ran up to CVS for some diapers. I always loiter around the Vichy and LaRoche Posay aisles ever since my CVS began selling the lines. I understand that this eye treatment stick is not a serious problem solver, but in the summertime I keep it in the refrigerator for a quick de-puffer in the morning or when I come inside from gardening or the pool. I love the cooling sensation and the moisture, and I apply it directly from the stick to my undereye area, much like a deodorant stick. My husband, who has huge bags and puffiness under his eyes, uses one on the way out the door before he goes to work and he swears that it works for him. I did notice that caffeine is one of the indgredients, so this is probably the reason why it depuffs the bags. I will say that for a regular depuffing treatment, it is much less messy than gels in tubes for a quick slick on the way out the door. I keep it in the fridge next to my LaRoche Posay thermal water! Also, it must sell well - as Lumene now has a little eye stick JUST like it, except pink, and it is selling for only a dollar less than the Vichy!

Pros:
-Makes my fine lines go away after applying...for a short while
-Seems to minimize my fine lines and dark circles with continued use
-Cooling
Cons:
-EXPENSIVE! $25bucks for only 4mL
-the stick applicator is unhygienic!
-makes the under eye area somewhat sticky the first couple of uses
Overall:
if you have the money to spare, i would say give this product a try b/c it does work, but otherwise, i would recommend trying something else...i'm going to try the thermal yeux next :)

I bought this on holiday as my eyes were puffy every morning in the heat. I found it very refreshing and with continued use, puffiness and dark circles were a thing of the past throughout the summer period. The packaging could be better as there is a lot of wastage at the end. Also a tube does not last all that long, so I ended up buying about one a month, and although it is reasonably cheap, it soon adds up. A word of caution though - I wouldn't use this if you have heavyish bags or wrinkles. I gave one to my mother who didn't like it at all as it seemed to tighten and dry her undereye area, making everything a lot worse and very uncomfortable. In the colder months I will be using something else but I will purchase some more of this in warm weather as it works for me.

I really love this product, I find it's a great moisturizer. It's fresh and it doesn't leave your eye area feeling greasy. The only bad thing i can say about it is the packaging because there's still a lot of the product left on the bottom and you have to aply it whit your finger.

Cool concept, but thats about it. This product is pricey and did nothing for my puffiness. Might continue using just because i don't want to waste it. The cooling effect feels nice but I'd much rather have a product that works.

I had high hopes for this when I purchased it at CVS drugstore. This did absolutely nothing to improve my dark undereye circles. Besides the cooling effect (which lasts all of 10 seconds), this product serves little purpose. I didn't like the sticky feeling it left around my eye area either.
