Sadly to say, I was disappointed in this product. The only pro to this product is that it contains SPF. I honestly don't know why all eye creams don't have SPF in them. Maybe those with very sensitive skin can't use it. This eye cream is thicker in texture than I prefer and it is tinted brown which I don't like. Because of these two factors you have to keep blending it under your eye, and I really try not to rub that area for fear of getting wrinkles. The worst part about the product was that it was sooo drying and I don't even have dry skin! I think it was the AHA's in the product. I am going to avoid products with AHA's in the future. BHA's are fine for my skin but AHA's are too drying. I actually felt like this product accentuated fine lines under my eyes that I didn't even know I had! After using it for a week 2x's a day, I gave this product to my mom, hopefully she'll have better luck with it since she likes products with AHA's.

I do not recommend this product to ppl with sensitive skin as well. It made my eyes gone red and puffy for 2 days......... Sad

as for eye care, I am still on the search for a good one, so, any recommendations?

I am in my early 20s, some pigmentation starts to show below my eyes. Mad

Though this does not have an SPF, the Dr. Irena Eris Eye Creme for Dialated Capillaries would be a good one to try. Cellcosmet Eye Contour Creme is pricey, but it is AWESOME, and is so gentle that you can even wear it on your actual eye lids. Phytomer's LIft Contour is a nice, gel-based product too.

You can always have your sun protection in your under eye concealer, such as Jane Iredale's Circle Delete.

Hi Dermalover, I am in my late 20's and as of late I have been using Orlane B-21 Oligo cooling eye balm. The only negative is that it does not contain SPF and I don't know that it will help with pigmentation. But it is very gentle. Wink

I copied and pasted some of my review for you:

"The woman at the Orlane counter recommended this to me she said it was targeted for people under the age of 35 or for those with sensitive, fragile, or allergic skin types. It is white in color and very light. I prefer creams to gels, but the consistency of this is between a gel and a cream and I really love the way it feels. Because of its light consistency you can dab it on without even putting pressure on your eye area. It's moisturizing without a heavy greasy feel and contains vitamins, trace elements and amino acids in it. "

Thanks Caspers Mum and thoughtcrime, I will go straight to Orlane's page to have a look Smile

However, I don't usually wear makeup therefore the circle delete may not be a good choice for me.

I am wondering if we can apply sunblock specialised for the face under eyes??
I am currently using Dermalogica's Solar Booster. I have to say this is the best best sun protection product that i have ever tried in my life. I love its non greasy texture but yet is not drying. Can it be used under my eyes as well? Very Happy
