On a total whim, I bought this product while I was at the drugstore this weekend. It's actually two products in one bottle. There's a cream which is for the under-eye area, and a gel which goes on the upper eye for lifting. I really wasn't expecting much of anything from this, but it was fairly cheap and caught my eye because of the dual products. I've used it for two days, and I've been totally blown away by the results I'm getting. I didn't read any reviews prior to purchasing and if I had, I wouldn't have bought it. The reviews are really mixed. Some people love it and some hate it. Some people have had an allergic reaction, even though the product says it's gentle and safe for contact wearers. That would have put me off for sure, because I have a very sensitive eye area. But I've had absolutely no bad reaction even though I've used the under-eye cream both morning and night. I think most of the people who have given positive reviews have been in my age bracket (50'ish). The gel really has lifted my upper eye area. But the cream is what really wows me. When I woke up this morning, for the first time with any eye cream, my dark circles were greatly diminished and I had no puffiness!! That is a miracle in itself. I use it under the Eye Tuck and for the first time, I'm getting the smoothness that Toby has in her pictures. That hasn't happened with any other eye cream I've used. I also follow Bren21's tip to use the hair dryer to set the Tuck after applying. The cream includes Pro-Retinol A, and the gel has Pro-Tensium E. Complete ingredients are:

I'm very hopeful that there will only be continued improvement. I paid $15 or $16, but I think Target may have it cheaper. |

Hi llina. I do have an update now. I stopped using the undereye cream because I decided it wasn't working as well as the 100% Pure eye cream. However, I really do like the upper lid gel. It does a great job of lifting my lids and as a bonus, makes a good primer. |
