This is the best ever eye treatment I've found. There are a few others I've liked but none are as good as this. It really, really does minimize the wrinkles on my upper lid and browbone. Very noticeable improvement in the morning.

At the age of 63, I've finally started seeing some annoying crepiness on the skin under my eyebrows when I lift my brows. Yuck. I've tried a number of dept. store eye creams, such as Clinique Anti-Gravity Firming and Origins Starting Over with Mimosa. Zero results. Luckily, I decided to try the Boscia Enlivening Amino-AG and it really does plump up that skin better than anything else I've tried. Forget Olay and L'Oreal, as they have horrible perfumey scents and don't work either.

I still have few lines under my eyes and none in the corners (Crow's Feet). I rarely have dark circles. Still, I need to moisturize these areas and this works great there, too.

Nothing is magic but this product is perfoming its job well. It looks like I'll be buying it again and again or until my needs change.

when comparing this to the other eye creams i have recently tried (kiehl's creamy avocado, clinique all about eyes, and clarins spf one, i forgot what it's called) the consistency is the most unique. it is a gel consistency, but goes on matte (similar to the feel of silicone primers, but not to that extreme). i love how it absorbs into my skin. i have never found ANY eye cream to really help w/my dark circles or anything like that, so there isn't really anything to say in that regard, but i think this product is great as a preventative measure. i can't really speak for the packaging, bc i bought this in a kit w/sample size of the cleanser, moisturizers and mask, so mine actually came in a squeeze tube w/a tapered point, which i love, bc it's easy to get a controlled amount and is sanitary, but again, this is not the standard packaging and don't really know much about the pump. in comparison, i like the richness of the kiehls and clinique eye creams, but the boscia is great bc it doesn't take forever to absorb into your skin, but still leaves your eye area moisturized and supple. it's a bit more expensive than the kiehls and clinique, but i think it's worth it.

Overall like - the gel feels a bit greasy going on, and thus is a bit problematic during the day, but overnight it's wonderful. I don't know if it's done anything to erase any of my problems (though friends tell me my minor dark circles are less noticeable, and I feel like my eyes are slightly less puffy), but I definitely feel as if it's keeping things from getting worse. The one thing I really don't like about this cream is the packaging - because of the false bottom, you often don't realize the package is completely empty until it's 11:00 pm and you're trying to apply your cream only to discover that the still weighted tube doesn't contain any product.

I used a sample of this product for a month. I noticed a small improvement in the fine lines around my eyes. It is very moisturizing, but way too greasy to wear in the day time. I would be willing to purchase the full size, but I want to try other cheaper alternatives first (this is only the 2nd eye treatment that I have ever tried).

I was able to get a week's supply to try from Sephora. First off this is very silky feeling. It smooths on gently and easily. The biggest issue is that is not appropriate to wear during the day. This does not sink in very quickly and leaves the skin around my eyes shiny. I like to use this at night so it has time to sink in. I am not sure if this did much to improve my eyes, but my under-eyes seem to be softer. I think if I could swap for this I would use it again, but I think the price of it overall is a little expensive.

I put this product on at night before bed, and woke up to swollen, draining eyes and little white bumps along my delicate eye area. I immediately took it back to Sephora; didn't give it a chance to damage me anymore. My eyes were back to normal after a few days. Still in search of an HG eye cream...

I really wanted to like this product because it felt so good going on. The first listed ingredient it has is "cyclomethicone" which is a silicon. That's probably why it feels smooth gong on, but the darker side of silicons is that they tend to coat whatever you put them on so well, that nothing can get in or out. The first problem I experienced with this Boscia Amino -AG Eye Treatment is that it left even my dry skin too shiny and slick looking to use it during the day. I then tried it as a night-time treatment, and woke up with swollen eyes every time I did. My eyes were OK after I washed my face, but I am almost certainly allergic to something in it - most likely one of the plant ingredients. The packaging lists rosemary, burdock, willowherb, and rose hips among the herbs it is made with, so It could have been any one of those that was the problem for me.

I'm on my second bottle and have been using this for several months already. First off, I do not have major wrinkles on my eye, however I used to have the little bumps (milia?) around my eyes.

I just use a tiny squirt of it for both of my eyes twice a day in the AM & before bedtime. Lightly dabbing it on the bottom and top of my eyes. I've noticed my eyes in terms have not changed in terms of wrinkles which is a good thing. However, I noticed significantly that I do not have as much of the milia around my eyes as I used to have which could be the ingredients used.

Boscia is a preservative free, plant/herb based product line so thus if one has sensitive skin this could irritate your skin.

I am happy that I didnt buy this! It was a sample and is now in the trash. When you first apply it it just kind of slides around on your eye and sits there. After you gently pat it in it still just sits there. A couple minutes later it absorbed (which is nice) but it seemed to do nothing for my dark circles or fine lines. Its an okay eye moisturizer. It comes in a nice pump for easy application. But for the price I will not buy this product.

The primary reason why this deserves 5 stars from me is because it is the ONLY eye product that gets rid of milia overnight. It truly is amazing. It is also very hydrating and nourishing and seems to kind of plump up the eye area, although I do not find that it does a whole lot for major concerns like fine lines, dark circles, etc. But being prone to milia, I consider this medicine like Neosporin. I always have it on hand.

great stuff. there is no magic in this bottle. the texture is gel like and thick enough to protect from the cold and wind. its like the FANCL eye treatment but a bit lighter. i dont see any improvement but it does look different / worse without using it. its nice and clean product. it does NOT SINK IN but think of it as a BARRIER, and it does a bit shine and visible so i would not recommend for men in the day time but night time is fine.

Love, love this product! For the first time in a long time, I feel like my eye area looks "fresher" and plumper. Love that it is preservative and cruelty free, and this did not irritate my eyes or skin. Will be purchasing other stuff in the line to try as well!

Great moisturizing cream for day or night. Does not give me those little white bumps that some creams do. It doesn't offer any wrinkle reducing properties, but what actaully does? Overall a fantastic product. Would and have repurchased over and over.

I got a sample of this from Sephora and have been using it for 3 days now. Although I can't say anything about what this product can do in the long run, I will say that it turned me off a bit from first use. It stung my eyes and seemed to dry out my eye area rather than moisturizing it. I'm glad I tried a sample though because I was tempted to buy this in the past. Now I know and will pass on buying it.

I love this product. This is the first boscia product that I have liked. I have tried alot of little samples and so, but wasnt really impressed, not to mention i hated the blotting sheets. Anyway, this is a gel like eye cream serum formulation. It sinks in well, and doesnt irritate my skin.

This works as a moisturizer... however, it doesn't sink in well and it irritated my eyes. I even broke out under my eyes from it! I'm so disappointed, I love Boscia's clear skin line. But this product sucks.

I tried this for a week, in the mornings, and ended up returning it.

The first time I tried it, it felt OK. With continued use, it irritated my eyes, which I don't think are that sensitive. I wear contact lens with no problems and never have to use eye drops. I can also use eyeliner on my waterline with no problem.

Over time, this made my eyes blood shot and create mucus (you know, those "sandbags" you wake up with) during the day! A nightmare.

I just took a tiny pearl of the cream and used it for both my eyes, along the lower orbital bone. I think that the strong scent from the herbs in this product is what irritates my eyes.

As a side note on the bottle, the false bottom is there so the tube is long enough for you to hold in your hand and use the pump comfortably. If the bottle was shorter, you wouldn't be able to press down on the pump. It's just ergonomics. This eye cream is .5 oz., like most other eye creams on the market.
