Price:$45.99-63.99 Burt's Bees Royal Jelly Eye Cream Review .5 oz.

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Brightens eye lid area
• Lessens fine lines
• Minimizes dark circles around the eyes
• Has instant effects visible the morning after application
• Not so greasy
• Other positive review:

  • I really love this eye cream!!! I am so glad I found it! It glides so easily onto the eyelid and the under eye area, with no tugging or pulling involved. I find this cream ultra-hydrating and nourishing for my dry under eye region. I've even noticed that my dark circles are much less noticeable. Added bonus!.”

Other factors to consider:

• Heavily perfumed
• Some women find it greasy
• Sometimes runs into eyes
• Some women have reported milia after use of this eye cream
• May be too greasy for younger skin
• Other negative reviews:

  • This product is horrible. It travels into your eyes (I suffered through watery red eyes because I'm such a cheap skate) and I developed milia (unsure of spelling, but it's those white bumps that appear when oil builds up). I wouldn't recommend this to anyone..

Description: This eye cream falls on the category of those anti wrinkle eye cream that are not too hard on the pocket. Described by their website as containing: Royal jelly, which is fed to the queen bee to extend her life, is packed with 134 nutrients, including 17 amino acids, B-vitamins and vitamins A, C, D and K. Here, it's blended with rich beeswax, soothing aloe vera gel, apricot kernel oil and vitamin E to create a nourishing cream that minimizes the appearance of fine lines and reduces puffiness in the delicate skin around your eyes.

For the price you pay, it is definitely worth the buy, ranking higher than most creams that are worth just as much. Although it does have some negative comments from some of its users, majority still claim to good results, specially for the eye wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes.

Directions for Use: In the morning and evening, gently pat – never rub – the cream around your eyes.

Ingredients: Apricot Kernel Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Bees Wax, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Aloe Vera Gel, Carrageenan Extract (Irish Moss), Kaolin (natural clay), Grapefruit Seed Extract, Sodium Borate (natural borax), Royal Jelly Powder, Magnesium Sulfate (epsom salts), Fragrance
Feature ingredient: Beeswax: A natural wax made by bees in the cell walls of honeycombs, this substance is a natural emulsifier used in cosmetics. It adds a wonderful natural smell and color to products and helps to seal and protect the skin when used in moisturizing formulas.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: Although there are many other products that have better results, I ranked this an equal 4 out of 5 with the other eye creams because of its price. If you are looking a lighter eye cream, specially for those with skin that do not suffer from any major problems yet, better look at the other eye cream reviews.

Price:$45.99-63.99 Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream .5 oz.

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Good for night use
• Effective for dry aging skin
• Good texture
• No scent complaints
• Minimizes eye bags
• Lightens dark circles around the eyes
• Lessens eye wrinkles
• Other positive review:

  • If you use a sample, you definitely won't like it, because it needs time to show a result. If your skin is in a pretty good condition, you won't see how this cream works for you. But it works. I have been using this product for 3 months (still use my first jar) and I'm very happy with a result. Fine lines in the corners of my eyes have almost disappeared. It's amasing, because I was sure that it's impossible to get rid of lines and wrinkles using topical remedy only. Anyway, with Shiseido Revitalizing Eye Cream somehow it's coming true.. The cream's texture is very rich, you need a little to cover the whole undereye area and upper lids (if you use it there!). I'm 37 with a combination skin. I had no problems with milia or any kind of irritation using this cream.

Other factors to consider:

• Causes millia for some women
• Does not work as well for young skin
• May be too heavy for day use
• Expensive
• Other negative reviews:

  • My mom has been using this eye cream for years; she loves it. I tried it for a few days, and unfortunately had a few milia form.

Description: The eye cream comes in a tub which can go both ways for those who would like to use this cream. The product description from their official site is very short, which could also say a lot for this eye cream. It only states that Shiseido Benefiance Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream is: A rich eye treatment that provides intense moisture and treats wrinkles, dark circles and dullness. While it causes milia for some women, most especially those in their 20’s, this wrinkle eye cream proves to be more effective for women over 30’s, specifically, for the treatment of wrinkles, baggy eyes, and lessening of dark circles.
There are also complaints regarding the texture too rich for morning use, but is effective as an evening cream for most women. Overall, it is an effective evening eye cream ideal for those suffering from definite skin problems such as eye wrinkles, dark circles, and baggy eyes. However, long use is necessary to see the changes, so samples may not be sufficient for testing.

Directions for Use: Smooth gently over the eye area each morning and night as the last step in your skincare routine.

Ingredients: Anti-Photowrinkle System with Chlorella Extract, LAG Revitalizer, an anti-dryness skin energizer, and Hydroxyproline, to reinforce collagen.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: I would recommend this eye cream for women out there. It has received numerous positive reviews, both from women I know who have tried it, as well as from other reviews online. The price may be a turn-off though, but there are sites I found who also sell it cheaper.

• Other positive review:
• Other positive review:

  • I'm super surprised this product isn't well-liked!! I try not to use concealers….this does exactly what it says it will do….brighten!!! I pat it under my eye & over my lip & in the cleft of my chin!! It does brighten& reduce puffiness. I guess reviews are subjective.

Other factors to consider:

• Clogs pores
• slightly oily
• contains no sunscreen
• Very strong scent
• Could cause acne

  I have used the cream

• Other negative reviews:

  • A) no improvements whatsoever B) it felt greasy C) the smell was just horrid. Stinky and ineffective. Will not buy again.

Description: The site promises a visible change in just one week. “This ophthalmologist-tested formula contains PROTIENT™, a powerful anti-oxidant that works immediately to help alleviate puffiness and help fade under eye dark circles. It also significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines, soothing and moisturizing the overall eye area. This luxurious, lightweight cream is suitable for contact lens wearers. Majority of the users agree with its effectivity in the reduction of fine lines. It also has other pleasant effects with the overall improvement of the skin around the eye area, thus, giving the eyes a more awake look.”

Neutrogena is a very established company and established name in the business. However majority of those women who have tried Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream found the cream to clog the pores, thus, causing pimples. The application is also not very comfortable, with an oily feel and very strong scent that is identifiable. There are a few women though, who found this to be effective for their type of skin, however, not really identifying their skin type.

Directions for Use: Apply a small amount to each eye morning and night, rubbing it in gently and allowing it to sink it before applying make up on top

Ingredients: Acrylates , C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer , Ascorbic Acid , BHA , BHT , Butylene Glycol , Butyrospermum Parkii Extract Shea Butter , C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate , Caprylyl Glycol , Carbomer , Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate , Cetyl Alcohol , Cetyl Palmitate , Chlorhexidine Digluconate , Copper Gluconate , Cyclomethicone ,

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: Given the negative reports and eye cream reviews this product has been marked in the market, though I haven’t tried this myself, I would have to make a pass. Those who have found Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream effective didn’t specify what kind of skin type they had, which worked for the formulation of this cream, so I cannot recommend it to anybody as of this moment.

Price:$28-40.00 Benefit Eyecon .5 oz.

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Light moisturizing
• Immediate moisturizing
• Good light scent
• Easily absorbed
• Great texture
• Other positive review:

  • As eye creams go this is a reasonably priced item for the punch it packs. With the sweet smell of almond I was afraid that this would be too heavy and would clog those teeny undereye pores. Instead I was treated to softness, smoothness, and just a touch of added brightness..

Other factors to consider:

• No effect for eye wrinkles
• Drier skin require more than 2 applications
• No guaranteed long term use benefits
• Other negative reviews:

  • I used up the whole bottle of eye cream, and I did NOT notice any difference at all. My dark circles are stilll there, and still as dark as before. I will not purchase this product again…

Description: “An eye cream that really fades dark circles and won’t break the bank! Apply day and night or anytime you like… eyecon is engineered with ‘fading action’ so your eyes will appear instantly brighter while softening the appearance of fine lines. Orange fruit extract helps to stimulate microcirculation of the skin and alleviates dark circles; apple fruit extracts softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.” This is the Benefit Eyecon promise, and there is reason to listen to their claim. Right after application of this eye cream, you’ll notice immediate changes in the way your eyes look, making it seemingly more awake, and brighter. This alone, could prove to be a huge pull for those seeking to make their appearance better, specially after a very busy night, or a tiring day in front of the computer.

The problems encountered is that for more mature skin with more serious problems, the eye cream would produce very little difference. What it actually does is provide temporary treatment of the skin problem, but does not really relate to any long term benefits.

Directions for Use: Apply a small amount to each eye morning and night, rubbing it in gently and allowing it to sink it before applying make up on top

Ingredients: Citrus bioflavonoids from mandarin oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and bitter orange flowers help to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Patent-pending complex of linseed and licorice extracts are known to help soothe the skin.
* Contains vitamin A and the Artistry Hydrolipid Matrix, an exclusive moisturising complex, to help hydrate, smooth, and protect the skin against moisture loss.
* Contains an ingredient complex of asiatic acid from the gotu kola plant (centella asiatic), a special acid for the eye.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: For instant results, like when going to a party, or post crazy night out, this is a great first aid eye cream application. However, if you’re looking for a treatment, the eye cream search is still on.

Price:$73.00 (Depends on Store) Eyederma by Dermalogics 1 .oz

Guarantee: 30 day money back guarantee

Most effective for:

• Light moisturizing
• 1 oz as compared to the usual .5 oz
• Improved dark circles for a few
• Some users experienced minimizing of baggy eyes
• Other positive review:

  • “Used for about 6 months. Within weeks the puffiness went away and I woke up with normal eyes, no bags. I have been off it for about 3 months and the bags are starting to come back, so I am buying more. Couldn't believe it worked so well.”

Other factors to consider:

• Does nothing for baggy eyes and dark circles
• Most users experience burning sensation
• Regular eye cream ingredients
• Too expensive for results
• Other negative reviews:

  • “So, without hesitation I opened the eyederma bottle and applied it under my eyes. About 20 minutes later I did get a result. My eyes burned like crazy.”

  • “I used the cream religiously for the three weeks and made sure to follow the instructions perfectly. Unfortunately I did not notice much of a difference at the end of three weeks. I did a little more research on the product and saw that the ingredients were very basic for an expensive cream like Eyederma.”

Description: I have been one of those users who have tried eye cream, so I’ll try to point out the specifics. First, there isn’t really an official website, so I cannot quote any of its promises, but the jar says “Formulated specifically to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles surrounding the eyes.” To begin with, it is lightly moisturizing, basically like what most eye creams do, prevent further drying of the skin. However, to answer to their claims, it has done nothing for my baggy eyes and dark circles. Majority of those who have tried this product have experienced no visible results instead, felt some burning sensation in the applied area.

For $73.00 and above, it is also too expensive, considering that if you look into the eye cream’s ingredients, it contains no special formula, just the basics you would find in any regular eye cream. One thing that would console the users, is, that it is 1 oz, double the regular eye cream, so it would definitely last a longer time, if the eye cream suits you.

Directions for Use: Apply in small dots around the eye area with ring finger and smooth gently until thoroughly absorbed.

Ingredients: Purified Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG-100 Stearate, Ethylhexyl Benzoate, Dimethicone Glycerine Ocupeptide 3™ (Dipeptide-2 Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 Palmitoyl Oligopeptide), Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Steareth-20, Hydroxysuccimide, Vitamin K Phytonadione, Chrysin Carbomer Polysorbate-20, Methylparaben and Propylparaben

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: It hasn’t worked for me, and it hasn’t worked for majority of the women who have tried it. I would recommend keeping this in the last of your eye cream wish list, and search for other anti aging products in our eye cream review page.

Price:$38.50 Avalon Organics Lavender Revitalizing Eye Gel 1 .oz

Guarantee: Depends on Store

Most effective for:

• Sensitive skin
• Puffiness
• Dark circles in eye eyes
• Light wrinkles

Other factors to consider:

• Too light for dry skin
• Has a tendency to run
• Expensive

Description: Avalon Organics Lavender Revitalizing Eye Gel is a little tricky to review. There seem to be only a few reviews online, and, unless you know someone who has tried it, or tried it yourself, you wouldn’t get a fair consumer review out of it. Luckily, I have tried it, so have one of my friends. We have totally different skin types, I tend to have really dry skin, and my friend is a bit younger than me, with really oily and sensitive skin. Well, we had different effects, it produced no help for me whatsoever, didn’t reduce the fine lines, nor the eye puffiness, nor the dark circles, so I immediately stopped using the product after a month of trial.

My friend on the other hand, claims the eye gel to be worth the product and swears it’s the best eye gel she’s ever tried. On my side, it tends to run down my face, into my eyes which adds to the discomfort. If you’re looking for an eye gel, with skin that’s not very problematic, maybe it’ll work for you.

Directions for Use: Apply eye gel around the eyes, covering the areas with dark spots, including sides of eye area, twice a day.

Ingredients: Peptide Complex and Hyaluronic Acid to reduce the appearance of lines, puffiness and dark circles. Organic Lavender and Licorice Root calm the skin.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: No I wouldn’t buy it. Only a few people would use a product when there’s still minimal problems, but if you’re still on your early 30’s or 40’s, this could work for you, considering a move much later.
