I've been meaning to review this product for several weeks now and I'm glad I finally found a block of free time! When I started using this I was looking for a Vit C product for my eye area that would be gentle and non-drying.
Description: A light yellow product that is closer to a lotion than a serum consistency. My 15 ml amber bottle came with a dropper.
Active Ingredients: Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (Vit C ester), hyaluronic acid, niacin peptides, palmitoyl tripeptide-3, MMPi complex
More info on ingredients and other stuff here: http://www.psfskincare.com/stimucoll.htm
My Issues: dark circles, very thin skin in the undereye area that is chronically dry, wrinkles underneath the lower lashes and fine lines below.
My Results: First off, I adore the texture of this product  I am one of those people who have to be careful with heavy products around the eyes. Inspite of my dryness problem using an eye product with a heavy consistency always gives me puffiness the next morning. This one is just right, and it sinks right in without a greasy feel or unnatural sheen.
To minimize my dark circles I was using a Vit K serum at night before layering another hydrating serum. This combination moisturizes adequately in the warm summer months, but is sorely lacking in the colder parts of the year. I tried this product with and without the Vit K step and I found that I don't really need the Vit K because the StimuColl alone gave me the brightening effect with much better hydration to boot  Even during this pretty severe winter, with the heaters at full blast, a light application of a drop or 2 is enough to maintain moisture overnight. I find that the increased moisture plumps up my thin-skinned and slightly sunken undereye area and that in turn reduces the dark circles. Niacin is said to be a mild skin lightener so I'm thinking the niacin peptides helped with the discoloration too.
This product also dramatically helped my fine lines to the point that they're a lot less visible in a matter of weeks. I have also seen an improvement in the deeper lines right underneath my lower lashes
So in conclusion, this product gave me a brighter, well-rested, more youthful look around my eyes. Plus, I now use just one product instead of 2 or 3. No more layering = a few more minutes for sleeping and less money spent. A little truly goes a long way, in many ways, with this amazing product!

I am adding my revew:
I was out shopping today and looked in the changing room mirror - usually I am not keen on doing that as it shows my fine lines. Well, they are looking much smoother.
I have been using Avene Eulage and PSF Stimucoll C Serum for the last 2 weeks (I used another Avene retinol product for 5 weeks before that too) and I have to say that my eye area is much improved.
It has a kind of soft glow to it and the lines are definateley diminished.
I am very pleased with the reults I have seen.
