I received a sample of this product and ended up buying the full size. I love the consistency of the product, not too thick like some eye creams, yet it's very moisturizing. I don't believe in any miracle creams but after using this for a few months, it seems to help with fine lines and dark circles around my eyes. You don’t need a whole lot of the product so the jar I have will probably last close to a year. I would definitely buy it again when I do run out, though.

Eye creams, IMHO, are marketing bull. I have yet to find an eye cream that significantly reduces the appearance of dark circles or fine lines. That being said, I *do* appreciate this eye cream because it is the best that I have found out of all the eye creams I have purchased. I got this one at Sephora & the little jar lasts forever & for 45 bucks (IIRC) you can't beat that. I like the fact that you only need a teeny bit of this product in order to feel like your under-eye area is moisturized sufficiently. I also like the fact that the consistency isn't too liquidy and/or runny, it has some substance to it. It's made with vitamin k which is supposed to be a natural brightener but I haven't seen any significant lightening action under my eyes. I also have one line under each of my eyes & I haven't seen that thing budge yet but it's not necessarily a "wrinkle" it's a line that I think most people have in that area so I doubt it's going anywhere. Basically, this is an all right product, nothing to write home about but I do like the consistency better than most other eye creams I've tried & it does help me stay moisturized so I find that my concealer isn't cracking on me in the middle of the day.

Another Sephora sample that turned into a full sized purchase. The first impression of this product that it was a slippery paste, yes, that would be a good description. I did not think it would do much of anything and I have used YSL Lisse Expert for quite some time with very good results. It was a nice surprise to see results from another eye cream after so many disappointments. It feels good going on, nice and cool. I alternate using this with my YSL and have seen a reduction in puffiness and a better texture of the skin beneath my eyes. This is the only item I have purchased from this line but the quality is excellent. Middle-aged ladies like me should give it a try, it works very well.

So far, so good. This came recommended from MUA and also from In Style and New Beauty. It does add moisture and seems to really hydrate. I use it nightly and the Vibrant Prescriptives in the am.

EDIT: I am back to Origins Eye Doctor. this was not moisturizing enough for me. Sadly, I did not save the receipt, so I was stuck and could not return to Sephora.

Wow. For the price of this I expected a lot more. I got a sample of this at my local Sephora to try out and I am really disappointed. Maybe I have to use it for a while to see the benefits, but I'm discouraged to do so. After applying, I noticed that after a few minutes my eye area was dry again and felt like it needed more cream. Also, around the area where I applied the Skyn eye relief cream, I noticed white residue from the product where it dried and left junk behind. The only thing I really like about this product is the nice cooling feeling I get when I put it on.

Best eye cream I have ever used. Depuffs my eyes dramatically so I look well-rested even though I've had three hours' sleep or have been working all night. Softens the lines that are slowly creeping up on me because I'm getting to that age. You use VERY little product (a small dab will do both your eyes and thoroughly, too). Anybody that is getting milia from this -- I recommend you use less product because milia only forms when you don't rub in/allow a product to absorb thoroughly. Cools but doesn't sting the eyes, just don't put it near your tear ducts and you'll be fine. It's a little pricey but if it lasts me at least 6 months, I'm okay with that.

I'm very disappointed to say that I hated this product. I got a free sample from Sephora and I tried it this morning. After a few hours, I used the bathroom and glanced in the mirror, and there were a bunch of tiny little bumps under my eyes; my neighbor tells me they are called "milia". That sample packet went right into the garbage!!!

I adore this eye cream. I have super sensitive eyes, and everything I tried before (Philosophy, DDF, Cosmedicine, etc.) made me turn red and peel. This one is ultra gentle, gives good moisture, and seems to have helped a bit with undereye wrinkes. Will definitely repurchase.

I lucked out with this one! I had an eCertificate for $30 from a previous purchase on skinstore.com, so I got this eye cream for 6 dollars after I signed up during their introductory auto-ship delivery program. (The intro. offer was 20% off until Dec. 31st, but now you can save 10% on auto-delivery orders). I've been using samples of this before I bought the full size. I love it so much I use it twice daily. It goes well under makeup, something I've not really experienced in an eye cream. The cooling sensation is PERFECT for an eye cream. It decreases puffiness and I've noticed my eye area looking much brighter. I've been really stressed out lately and it has taken it's toll on my face. S.I. has been a life saver for me.

It's actually one of the more economical eye creams I've come across. A little dab will do it, so it should last several months even though the container is fairly small (if you've tried the 5 day kit, the size of the night cream in that kit is the full size eye cream). Skyn Iceland has been one of the few product lines that are actually very concentrated so you can get away with using a very small amount. I'm excited to finally find a product line that I like so much, I actually look forward to my routine now!

f you want to try Skyn Iceland, I highly recommend the 5 day travel kit, which comes with the cleanser, toner, day lotion and night cream. The products all last longer than "5 days" and is a fabulous way to give this line a good trial run.

Got a sample from Sephora. I LOVE THE WAY THIS FEELS! It melts into my delicate eye area--- and it kind of tingles in a good way! WOW!

I have not been using it for long.. and I dont expect miracles from eye creams-- but this is a MUST TRY.

I really really love the texture of this eye cream, The only draw back is that it really doesn't do much for fine lines, so i also use Shiseido bio-performance eye contour (which works wonders for those barely there lines that drive me crazy) but Skyn Iceland's eyecream is a life saver when you've had little to no sleep and feeling ragged, really does wonders on bags and dark circles and thats instantly ! I'll always have a jar in my medicine cabinet.

I'm always hunting for a great eye cream. I have tiny lines around my eyes, and I not only want to hide them, but prevent deeper lines. I was leery of buying this, because I think it's incredibly pricey, but the MUA reviews convinced me. I'm really glad I listened! First, I adore the texture, which I haven't seen in an eye product before. It's very, very thick, yet not greasy or heavy in any way (it's hard to explain). It glides on and blends in, yet covers what it needs to. I haven't used it long enough to know if I actually see diminished puffiness, dark circles or lines, but I'll continue buying it just for what I've already seen. As for the price, I think the pot should last a long, long time. I would prefer a pump bottle, however, as pots like these aren't hygienic.

I'm not quite sure if it's this or Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge eye cream, but whichever it is - my fine lines are barely noticeable. Dark circles and puffiness are gone, and those irritating little white bumps have dissappeared. I use this in the morning, and the dermadoctor one at night. Got it in the little sample pots with the gift pack set. Hardly made a dent!! Last for ages!
Update: I think it's actually the dermadoctor, as when I just use the SkynIceland eye cream - no effect whatsoever on my dark circles - which is my main concern. Going to try just the dermadoctor now.. Let's hope it's not the combination, 'cause need to dish out some serious dough to have both!!

I tried this after a friend recommended it, and I'd just finished a seriously disappointing tube of Bliss' Overall Eye cream and was looking for something better. It's more expensive ($45) so I tried a sample from Sephora (asked them to make me one) which lasted about two weeks. I needed hardly any of it, and I was thrilled with the results! The skin below my eyes looked brighter and more even (although I have never really had a problem with dark circles, I noticed how much better it was possible for my undereyes to look after just 2 weeks!), the crepe-yness on my eyelids is diminished, and I stopped needing to use Origins No Puffery in addition to an eye cream.

I used this morning and night. I will be investing in a full size, my new HG.

I got this as a sample from Sephora and used it, well just to use it (and in the time I've been using it, it doesn't even look like I've made a dent...this little tub will last me forever). I'm 24 and really never get dark circles or puffy eyes in the morning so I wasn't really noticing any difference. However, recently I had gone a couple of nights without sleep and been crying and my eyes were so puffy underneath!! I'd never experienced anything like it. I had a wedding to attend in two hours and was freaking out. I reached for my eye cream figuring, "what the hell...what else am I going to do?" Within what must have been 15 minutes, my eyes were completely depuffed underneath!! Seeing that, I will continue to use this product for sure!

This is a fabulous eye cream, mainly because it battles dark circles. I also love that it is so lightweight; it really does have an essence like cool water. It's a thinner cream which makes it easy to apply and the best part is that the little pot lasts forever. Mine has lasted 9 months so far and I still have quite a bit left. The only drawback is the packaging. Why must they put an eye cream in a pot vs a pump. This only leads to worries of contamination.

This is my HG. I have tried numerous brands (Clinique, Estee, Loreal, DHC, MK, and on and on...) and have found that this one actually takes care of everything from puffiness (especially good for me in the mornings) to the fine lines (I'm 29 and they're very faint but there), and the dark circles. I use both morning and evening and like the slight cooling effect it leaves. Hasn't irritated my eyes either which is a big plus. I completely recommend this!

Ive been using samples of this for almost 3 months now- in the mornings only. Prior to this product I used Shiseido Benifinace Revitalizing Eye Cream for 11 years. Yes, 11 years. I loved the emolliancy of it, it kept my eyes so well hydrated i swear that is why I had never developed lines up until the age of 32, but it just started doing nothing for the fine lines that began to form. I am 33. This cream has made an "ok" differnece for me. The fine lines i started to get are still there but the cream sometimes hydrating, sometimes it feels like it sits ontop of my skin and doesnt penetrate the dermis at all- kinda like Chapstick. It's not really doing anything for getting rid of the lines/making them less noticeable but it does help with the puffiness in the mornings. The puffiness goes down within 30 minutes-if i use too much of the crema though and then use concealor, the cream flakes a bit under my eye. I use this in the morning only. Ive been using this in conjunction with the Murad Vit C eye cream. I do not have problems with undereye shadows so i dont know if this cream helps with that. I will not purchase this.

I like this eye cream because it is soothing to me. It does not burn my eyes like many eye creams do. I think it is the cucumber in eye creams that bother me. This one is much better than clinique eye cream. I think this cream is taking away some of my bags under my eyes, but I still have 1/2 circles under my eyes.

Best eye cream I've ever used. I'm 40. Takes care of my bags, circles, bags, fine wrinkles and the best part of it...breaks up that pigmentation around my eye/upper cheek bone. I keep trying other creams (because I love beauty products) and always go back to this one. Highly recommend it!!!!
