I like using this eye cream during the day, I love thick eye creams so I don't mind the consistency. It feels almost like a mousse. I'm not sure about the anti aging properties, but I like it. Its not as expensive as other eye creams ive used. It helps keep my under eye area hydrated and flake free while on retin a.

Shocked by the bad reviews here. I like this eye cream a lot, have been using it for... hmm... cannot remember how long or how many pots. I like to rotate between a few of my favorite eye creams, and this is definitely one of them. It is reasonably priced, thick, moisturizing, no offensive smell, not irritating even upon direct contacting eyes, and indeed firming the undereye area noticeably for a couple of hours. The only downside is that it does not work well with cosmetics.... you need to wait for a few minutes til it is completely absorbed before applying any undereye concealer, otherwise it will be a mess...

I've loved every single Kiehl's product I've ever tried... except for this one. It's a thick, dry goop, very difficult to apply, and doesn't seem to benefit my skin in any way. Ugh. Luckily, I had received a sample of this to try, and so did not have to purchase the product.

I wish I'd read MUA reviews before I bought this, because it's an overpriced eye cream that doesn't deliver. I find that it's too thick and lumpy and doesn't really soak into my skin. My under-eye concealers tend to flake on top of this cream. It's a so-so moisturizer, that doesn't hydrate for very long. And no noticeable firming effects after many weeks of use.

I know this is supposed to be a firming eye treatment but the Kiehl's counterstaff told me that it would help reduce eyebags and circles as well - they did nothing of the sort. I didn't totally take all lippies away because the skin ard my eyes isn't in any dire need of firming so I don't really know whether this is an effective firming product. What I do know is that it doesn't sit well beneath makeup if you apply it like they tell you to - pat gently under your eye. When I applied my undereye concealer on top of the cream, it flaked/rubbed off into gross dirt-looking shreds.

This product had effect initially. It really lightened my dark eye circles. But after a while, it may be due to the tapping motion, since this is in cream form, I find that the wrinkles under my eyes grew longer and longer.

However, the little pot has already lasted my 8 months despite the twice a day usage. It's on the pricey side though it lasts... ...

I have yet to find a really good eye cream. And I am so afraid the tapping motion need by most products will damage my skin instead.

I wasn't a member of this website, but after trying this product, I joined just so I could write about it. After reading the reviews on here, I almost didn't buy it, but I am so glad that I did! I've only been using it for about a week now, but even on the second day I could see a vast improvement in my crow's feet. I was using Bobbi Brown under eye cream for over a year, which definitely moisturizes nicely, but when I switched to this, I was so excited to see the change in lines around my eyes. They look smoother and smaller. I recommend it to anyone that will listen to me to talk about it. It needs to be patted in when applying, not rubbed. The only con could be that it does, in fact, create particles under your eyes if you rub them after applying because I guess it doesn't completely blend in? I don't rub my eyes though, so not a problem for me!

I actually prefer this to the Abyssine cream (I don't like the Abyssine line at all - I couldn't even finish using the face lotion), as I find it to be very moisturizing and very, very gentle. It has never caused me any irritation and, though it's thick, absorbs quite readily. I have very dry skin and have been thankful to have this around. But I must admit that, on the whole, Clarins has my favorite eye treatments.

It cannot be absorbed by my eyes at all! After I applied it, it peel off!

I received a very generous sample of this and used it for approx a month. It's a great eye treatment. It doesn't sting my eyes, it's a nice cream that's easily absorbed. I don't use eye treatments/creams so I wouldn't normally purchase them but if I did I would buy this one.

This is a good eye cream for night time application as it is very creamy so would not work well under makeup. If you use too much of it you will get those little white bumps under your eyes. I have used two jars of the stuff, but the last one didn't seem to cut it - I just noticed a big new wrinkle!!! I don't really have any others...So now I am trying Estee Lauder....
UPDATE: didn't realize what a nice cream this was until I stopped using it. Estee Lauder eye cream burned my skin. And now I am using Nuxe, but it's perfumed (?!) and I don't like that. Kiehl's wasn't very anti-aging, but it is a really nice moisturizing cream.

I love this. It needs some patience before you can see the effect. It needs only a very small volume and gently tap into the skin under the eyes; it really works to my tiny under-eye lines. But, honestly to say, it's really cost...

I would NOT recommend this product. It's overpriced. The packaging is very unhygienic. The cream doesn't absorb at all. I'll put it on in the morning before work, and if i rub my eye at around 3 the lotion is still sitting there and rubs off in small particles like the stuff erasers leave behind. really weird and awful if you wear eye shadow or concealer. Additionally, i haven't seen any improvements in my fine lines or dark circles.

This is an extremely over-priced jar of cream. I admit to feeling this way about eye creams in general, as they are generally made of the same ingredients as their matching moisturizer. Back when I used eye cream, I alternated between this one and the Abyssine (also by Kiehls). This Cryste Marine felt very mild, moisturizing, and problem-free to my skin. The Abyssine stung badly and caused milia. I won't be repurchasing either (because of my personal quirks about eye cream), but Abyssine is the one to "actively avoid".

Love this product! price was a little high but it works on my dark circles and keeps my eye area well hydrated without making it oily. i'm only 23, so probably doesn't need too much hydration on my eyes. i like the waxy texture coz it feels like it's melting into my skin when i apply it. One tub lasts quite long for me. would buy this product again.
