Cons:

• "Used for three months and it did nothing other than significantly dry out the skin around my eyes."
• "Does absolutely nothing for puffiness, circles and wrinkles."
• "I bought this because my under eyes are really dry and wrinkles are forming. I don’t see any difference and still feel dryness around my eyes."
• "Product did tighten the skin under my eyes but the day after use caused terrible swelling and redness and finally peeling skin under my eyes for several days following use."
• "I have been using this eye cream for awhile now and have not noticed a difference at all."

Skin Sensitivity and Safety

Pros:

• "I am allergic to lots of face creams. This one is great and doesn’t bother my skin."

• "This product states that it is recommended by dermatologist and good for sensitive skin: just minutes after going to bed with it my eyes started itching; had a red rash all around eyes and swelling."
• "It caused an infection in my eye. After the first few days of use, it was itchy and it caused inflammation and infection."

• "The packaging is convenient, and a little goes a long way, making it cost-effective."
• "This turned out to be the best eye cream. I saw a difference within a week and when putting on eyeliner and mascara, no smear."
• "The tube is a different shape with a different tip than the drug store package."
• "Price was a good value when I made my purchase."
• "At first, I thought it was expensive but once I realized how little you have to use, it’s a good buy for the money."

Cons:

• "However, one thing that is not very ideal...that is there is no seal on the packaging which is not good for hygiene issue."
• "But it came with no seal on the box or the tube. I am considering just returning it."
• "For such an expensive drug store eye cream, I’d expect a little nicer packaging."
• "My complaint is with the Amazon packaging. It is flimsy plastic and the product inside was completely crushed."
• "The first time I ordered this eye cream I would say 5-stars. I reordered from the same listing and I’m convinced it’s not the same/real product."
• "It has since gone up $4.00."
• "The one on the bottom is the real one, the one on top is fake. I immediately noticed something was wrong with the print, and whatever cream is inside smells awful."
