I ordered this eye cream from vitacost. I like arnica for bruises and when I searched for arnica products, this eye cream popped up. It has vitamin K in it, too, so it got me interested since I know that vit K is good for dark circles. I read user reviews and they were pretty good (4-5 stars). It's only about $20, so I thought "why not?"
I really like it! I have been using it for almost a month now. I noticed that my eyes look refreshed. The dark circles are fading. My upper lids appear more lifted. My fine lines under the eyes are also fading. The bags under eyes are also going away quite nicely. (Talking about packing up your bags and go!)
The texture of the cream is smooth and light, and the smell is pleasant and fresh. It absorbs fast, and it's not oily. It does hydrate my skin well.
I hope this result continues. I have a tough time finding the right eye cream. This is the first one that doesn't make my eyes look worse. I tried so many brands before including several recommended here on EDS.
So if anyone eles tries this, would you please post and let me know how you like it?
For me, and for now, I'm giving it out of 5. |

Thank you for that suggestion.
Do you have access to the ingredient list?
I'm using PTR Power K, and I have been looking for a new eye creme with Vita K to try out. The PTR are pretty expensive.
Main target for me are dark circles. And preventing wrinkles off course..
It says on the description that one should not use it on the upper eyelid, I wounder why.. |

I never noticed the direction to avoid using on upper lids. I do put it on my upper lids. The direction is confusing because it says to apply around the eyes, but then avoid upper lids. HUH? Let's see, to apply around the eyes, I would have to put it on both upper and lower lids. |

Natalyn,
Most all eye creams have the same warning, you can use them under the eye and up around the orbital bone from crease to brows. Don't ask me why but I see it all the time, very few products are made to be used on the lids, of course that doesn't stop most people! |

I suspect it is because if you put the cream on your eyelid it can easily run into your eyes. I think it is a cover your butt statement !! |

I think so as well, I would read the ingredients just to make certain there is nothing that could be harmful to the eyes. |

This is one of the reasons I love the KH eye cream so much. It soaks into my skin so well, that I don't have to worry about it running into my eyes. |

OIC, i don't have any issue with this eye cream running in to my eyes. It absorbs fast, and I don't pile it on on the upper lids. I focus mostly on lower lids anyway. I also don't really put it on my crease, but the upper lids above the crease, but that was just pure instinct, not following the direction. I didn't feel the need to put the cream so close to my lash lines. ;D |

I continue to use this eye cream, and my eyes have never looked better. My upper lids look as though I just got an eyelift! I don't have any bags under my eyes now, and no more dark circles. I am very happy. |

Natalyn, this product looks really good. I don't know how old you are, but have you noticed any tightening/lifting of your upper eyelid with this product? |

Hi! I can't seem to find much info on this eye cream anywhere. Is it a brand new product that just came out? I am very curious about it as I am incessantly searching for effective under eye creams and treatments. I just wonder why there is virtually no information on this product online.
Thanks!

Natalyn,
How long did it take for you to notice any difference in the undereye bags after starting this product? Just trying to gather all the info
I can before purchasing. I have spent enough on potential eye creams to purchase a new house at this point!
Happy holidays!!
Best,
Jen |

Here are N's comments from up above on this:
"My upper lids appear more lifted"
"My upper lids look as though I just got an eyelift!"
For those who may be sensitive to scent, this does have an obvious scent--a sort of soapy perfumey smell to my nose. |

Thanks, Havana. I did see that, but was looking for an update. My choice of wording to my question was off!
Are you using this eye cream, too, Havana? How are you liking it and what, if anything, is it doing for your eyes? |

I ordered this and love it, so far so good! I have very bad dark circles and tried various eye creams with no luck. I really like the consistency of this eye cream and of course the price. I'll post back in a few weeks about it. |

I should've known, riley!
I do have this but have been using it intermittently as I am not keen on the scent (probably in the minority here). It does dissipate quickly enough though so I don't know what I am whinging about especially as I have to agree that the texture is lovely and the price point great. |
