This is my HG daytime eye cream. I use the Lancome RARE minerals cream at night. I have dry skin, and this cream keeps my eye area moisturized all day and has kept me from getting any more fine lines around my eyes than I've had my whole life (I'm now 29). Concealer and eyeshadow go on well over it and stay on well all day. I've tried a few other eye creams to see if I could get by with something less expensive, but everything else I've tried isn't as moisturizing and the fine lines looked worse. I've been using it for like 8 years now and love it as much as the day I started.

I've always trusted Lancome because the brand is renowned for their skin care - no longer!
This is a light, moisturizing cream which went on well and absorbed quickly but that's all. It couldn't touch the wrikles (very fine and just starting). I was hoping using this would help to stop wrinkles from deepening (I know better than to expect it to reverse the wrikles - despite what the commercials claim!) This cream didn't do that, or do much of anything at all, really. If you want a general light moisturizer then this is fine but at this price, definitely not worth it. I even got the High Resolution Eye Collaser at the same time (because the sales person recommended it) and used it as instructed but that did nothing either. Save your money. Avoid these two products.

Not overly enthused with this product. I can't wait until my jar is gone so I can try something else. It was so expensive I can't bring myself to just throw it away.

Didn't notice a difference AT ALL!

I'm so disappointed with this product as it did nothing to fill out the burgeoning wrinkles I'm getting on my under-eye area.

As a general eye-area moisturizer, it's pretty good: lightweight cream that didn't give me any millia, non-greasy and dries to pat fairly quickly. But this product doesn't live up to its promise of preventing wrinkles from forming/deepening because after 2 weeks of using it, the wrinkles I have under my right eye hasn't disappeared. If anything, I think it actually deepened. A waste of good money on this and my only consolation is that I didn't have to pay full price for it.

I've been wearing this eye cream for about a year. It's incredibly light, and it hydrates my eye area without making the skin around the eyes greasy. I think this is a perfect eye cream for 20-30 year olds who are starting to wear an eye cream for the first time.

I bought this product thinking it would do wonders since it was so expensive and I trust Lancome's research. This product moisturized pretty well but did nothing for my wrinkles. It also stung my eyes & made them water. When I would wear it at night, my eyes would wake up puffy and red. This did nothing for my eye area except cause irritation and at $50++ I would expect more.

I got a sample of this eye cream and liked it overally. It is light and absorbed easily. Makes a good make up base for eye shadow. However, it did not do much about smoothing the skin around my eye area. Plus, I really hate eye creams packed in a jar! How unhygienic!! Lucky that the sample I got was in a tube. Thus, will not shell out my own dolllars on it.

Pros: Light gel texture, non-irritating, no milia, light scent, got a great gwp from Lancome.


Cons: Not "treatment", just moisturizer; expensive; comes in tub.

I'm only 25, so all I need is light, non-milia causing moisture right now. But I think that at $50, an eye cream should do more than just moisturize. I won't repurchase because I am sure there are other eye gels out there that will moisturize for $10!

Nice moisturizer. Absrobs easily. Otherwise, nothing fancy that a drugstore brand couldn't do. Won't purchase again.

Very good eye cream! moisturizes my eyes very well! No puffiness, no lines, and dark circles are at a minimum now! Lancome has been around forever and is known for their skincare more than anything else!

I liked this eye gel very much. It was very soothing on (I only used it at night). It didn't do anything for my under eye wrinkles but I loved it as a moisturizer and will definitely buy it when I run out of what I am presently using. I wish it came in a tube though.

I got a sample of this last year and was excited to try it out after reading its claims in a magazine. But to my disappointment, it stung my eye area. I do have sensitive skin though, and would recommend others test it in case of possible adverse reactions before purchasing.

I tried this one, and I really loved how soothing it felt around my eyes. I love to slather thick creams on, and this was just rich enough. I used this a night and my eyes looked great in the morning. I'm not too sure if I'd buy the full size of this one seen as I have a current favorite right now. Overall, this was my favorite Lancome eye treatment.

I'm in my 40s with combination skin and have permanent fine lines around my eyes. This gel makes them disappear every morning, I swear. Yes, it's temporary but it's a moisturiser, not botox or surgery. The effect lasts long enough to keep me happy and I only reapply it if I'm going out in the evening. It's my current favourite - a real performer, not one of those products you think may have made a difference. You know it has.

I'm on my 2nd jar of this product. It's a gel-cream that is supposed to moisturize, depuff, and prevent early signs of aging. I like this product because it moisturizes my eye area w/o being too greasy (I have combo skin) and it depuffs much better than Origin's No Puffery. In addition, my sensitive skin has not reacted to the product. I'm really not sure about how well it prevents wrinkles (we'll see in a few years). Overall, I'd say this gel-cream is good for young skin that needs a little moisture and de-puffing.

This is a nice product, moisturizing but sinks in fast, not greasy. However for the price I feel it doesn't do much mor ethan my MAC fast response--which is half teh cost.

What a monumental waste of money! Did NOTHING for the fine lines around my eyes(am 24 and looking for some early correction and futher prevention), did NOTHING to actually moisturize---and at $50 for 0.5 oz. I expected a little more. I don't know how this could be considered an eye cream when it doesn't even do the basic thing all eye creams SHOULD do---moisturize. Wish I hadn't waited so long to see results---I have no idea where the receipt is, otherwise, I'd demand my money back!

Don't skimp on eye treatment..it's where you age first. This one? Well, it's nice, My eyes still have dark circles but they ar soft and plump. Nothing dramatic. I have yet to find anything completely remarkable. Maybe if I had noticable wrinkles, they might be gone..but I don't have any yet, but this is what Lancome always tells me to use. If I find something better, I'l try it
UPDATE: I used this for a while and couldn't help noticing my eyes were BURNING!! Too much fragrance I think...I'm going back to DHC's concentrated eye cream...just like shea butter only more fabulous.

I am almost done using a jar of this stuff and I have not noticed a difference diminishing under eye wrinkles. All this cream seems to do is moisturize the under eye area for a bit (until I have to reapply later in the day) but there are many cheaper eye creams that do that too! Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I'm going to buy a cheaper eye cream next time. If I get no results again, at least I didn't pay so much for nothing!

I have to say that I liked this eye cream along with the night cream. It's very silky- the texture is a creamy gel. Very soothing and great for under makeup. A winner by Lancome!
