I know Mabsy will soon be giving a review on this, and she's much more fun to read  so I'll keep mine brief.
This forum made me realize that those little lines around my eyes wouldn't be there if I'd been using sunscreen.  So I started looking for eyecreams with SPF, and there aren't too many choices out there. I chose DDF because I'm already using (and loving) their regular sunblock.
THE PRO'S: It comes in a pump bottle, so there's no contamination. The texture is light and easy to spread, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin feeling kind of silky, not sticky.
THE CONS: The box says it reduces puffiness, and boy does it ever! I list this as a "con" because I'm one of the blessed few who never gets puffy eyes. Because this stuff works so well, my undereye area looks and feels deflated.
I'm putting it back in the box and up for swap at MUA, in case anyone's interested. (Member name is the same.)

Awww... I love reading your posts Alohagirl! Your knowledge of sunscreens/blocks continues to amaze me!
LOL.... deflated!? 
I can't really comment on it yet because I haven't started to use it regularily. I'm using a sample of another eye cream at the moment  From the few times that I have used the DDF cream though I agree with you on the texture, it's quite light and it doesn't leave a white cast either.
Perhaps you could get a sample of the Murad eye cream with SPF? It's very nice, and leaves your skin nice and plump.

Alohagirl, does this mean this one gets a half thumbs down from you since it's been packed up and ready for a swap on MUA?
Mabsy, I think you mentioned that the DDF Eye Cream SPF15 is lighter in texture than the Murad Essential-C SPF15 ....Phew ! :P....didn't feel a tug of temptation then. Alohagirl, I think you would really love this eye cream, I second Mabsy that you should trade in for the Murad ! I love the thick texture of the Murad, I think for an eye cream with SPF, *THIS* is the kind of texture that's the benchmark for me. Thick yet non-greasy, Just perfect. I don't know if it's the running clockwork combination I have of using the Murad Essential-C Eye Cream SPF15 in the day and Cellcosmet at night that is producing a smooth line-less eyes but I'm happy with the sparkly results at the moment. Phytomer Contour Lift Eye Cream is on my next order though ! I am tonight going to be trying out the Cortry Eye Pastors 'experiment' ....Newbie, hope this doesn't stink like the mask you tried made by the same peeple! :P

Yep, like a used party balloon.
And Summertimegirl, I would still give it a full thumbs up because it does exactly what it says on the box, only in my case, that wasn't such a good thing. (I'll pay more attention to descriptions from now on.)
Next stop, Murad Essential-C. Thanks ladies.

| Alohagirl, is the SPF in this chemical or natural? This might work for me as I could use some "deflating" in the a.m. because I NEVER get enough sleep! I know Mabsy and Summertimegirl have been raving about the Murad one. But to be honest, I'm a little hesitant to try it because I have not liked any of the Murad products I have tried, and vitamin C is too strong for my skin. I still love my Orlane one, but I think for summer I would like one with a sunblock. I have my eye on Liz Earle daily eye repair--has a non chemical SPF of 10. |

Thoughtcrime, it has two chemical sunscreens and one physical block (2% zinc oxide.) The ingredients also list a whole bunch of herbs, which I assume are responsible for depuffing.
I've never cared for Murad products either because they're kind of harsh for sensitive skin. (IMO, anyway.) But since the eyecream is so highly recommended....

| Natalyn, if you can't tolerate any kind of sunscreen near your eyes, I hope you wear UV protection sunglasses whenever you're outside. The bigger the better! |

Thanks for the advice. I do try to wear big sunglasses, but must admit I forget them some time. I wear a hat though and try not to look up. I should try harder to wear sunglasses every time I go outside. |

Alohagirl, thanks for your sharing.
I'm wondering this product can be used separately or need use another eye cream first to keep moisturize? |

| This product is not super moisturizing. For most people it would probably be fine, but if you have very dry skin, I think you might want to moisturize your eye area first, then use this for sun protection. |

Look for a physical sunscreen for an eye cream. I highly recommend Clarins spf 30 with titanium dioxide. It dries matt so you can apply eye shadow over it.
It is not very moisturizing so I use a treatment product under they eye area.
I have used this product all over my face with good results. (My tube was going to expire soon and I wanted to use it up.)
A 20ml tube lasts a long time. Be sure to check the expiry date when purchasing. |
