I've been using this cream for a week or so. The first time I used it, it balled up on me as if the product is not completely absorbed. I just want to know for u ladies here that used this product, what's the right amount to apply for both eyes? Maybe I'm using too much? What kinda effect did u achieve with this eyecream cuz I can't see any difference from it. I hate it when everyone's raving a product and I can't seem to join in  |

It balls up on me, too, no matter how much or how little I use or whether I spritz my face with a mineral water spray or a toner or not. I've tried anything from about the size of a grain of rice for each eye and the same size for both eyes. What I've found to work the best for me is to warm the eye cream between my fingers first and gently pat it onto my skin, BUT not to pat too long. Otherwise, it starts balling up on me again. I can't use it underneath a concealer either as it always balls up on me if I use it on its own. I tried layering it on top of PSF Phyto-Lift Cranberry Eye Gel before applying a concealer and that seemed to work better. However, I had to stop using PSF Cranberry as I *think* it was causing too much dryness and irritation (itchiness, in this case) around my eyes, so now I only use Osea Eyes & Lips at night.
As for the effect, I do notice some tightening of my eye bags, but marginally. I don't find moisturizing enough for my dry eye area, so I normally use something more moisturizing/hydrating. I now only use Osea Eyes & Lips on those days that I have really puffy eyes. Otherwise, I don't really bother with it as I don't see much result in terms of other effects. |

The tightening effect is pretty much immediate, but also temporary. As the day goes on, the effect wears off. I don't think I've seen any cumulative tightening effect either.
This eye cream certainly hasn't wowed me. I simply bought it because I wanted to switch to a more natural product. I convinced myself that although it's not great, I wasn't putting a bunch of chemicals on my skin.
As for a moisturizing eye cream, I normally use Babor Sensational Eyes Eye Cream (not the gel one). I find it very moisturizing, yet light and fast absorbing. I've tried many eye creams including Sisley Sisleya, La Prairie Eye Contour and Shiseido Benefiance which are supposed to be super moisturizing, but I still prefer Babor Sensational. Sisley, La Prairie and Shiseido ones are rich and heavy, but I don't find them necessarily more moisturizing to be honest. I sometimes kid myself into thinking that they are as they take much longer time to sink in, but I still end up having to reapply them just as often. |

I guess I might purchase the Babor one next time then. I'll find a way to finish the Osea one up. Perhaps on my lips hehe  |

Try to get a sample of Babor first if you can. I'd hate for you to be disappointed with a product I recommend.
Yes, use Osea Eyes & Lips on your lips. I do sometimes and I love it. |

Thanks for the suggestion |

| maybe you should apply it immediately after cleansing your face. water can help it absorb to your skin easily. |

You're welcome. From my experience with free samples from EDS, I find Babor ones hard to come by.
The eye cream is only CAD$40, so it's relatively inexpensive compared to others. I'm obsessed with eye creams and I've tried SO many and Babor Sensational Eyes is my most favorite one to date. |

If you actually read all the posts, you would know that in this case, water didn't help with the absorption at all.  |

| For some reason this product wouldn't fully absorb on me either, despite using a really small amount per application. |
