I received a 3ml sample of this product from an earlier Beauty Box 5 (please don't ask me which one - the past half year or so has been a blur). I usually don't pay much attention to eye creams and other anti-aging products, but since I seem to have aged terribly over the past year (apparently, having kids can do that to you), I decided it's about time I jump on the anti-aging bandwagon.
When I first saw the sample, I was a tad disgruntled at how small it was. However, since you only need a dab of eye cream everyday, this little tube lasted for 9 days for me (probably could have lasted longer if I cut open the tube and got at the last bits with a cotton swab). I only applied this product on at night, although the website recommends that this be used twice a day. The eye cream has a nice consistency - it's thick without being gunky, so it smoothes on easily. This product is pretty much unscented. I say "pretty much" because when I put the cream right up to my nose, I can detect a very faint medicinal smell (but very faint).
According to the product website, the following are the key benefits of this eye cream (not unlike the other eye creams available on the market):
- Helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles
- Peptides modulate muscle synapses for line and wrinkle reduction
- Helps stimulate collagen production
- Helps whitening for a uniform complexion
In terms of efficacy, I did not notice any significant changes to my eye area after using this product, but that is not uncommon for having only used it for less than a week and a half. However, I always had this dry patch on the bridge of my nose and the eye cream seems to have taken care of it quite nicely. I also like that this cream did not cause whiteheads/milia around my eye area, which other eye creams have done in the past.
Verdict: I would definitely consider purchasing the full-sized version of this product (once I get through my other beauty box samples). ~15ml tube, US$49.95 (currently on sale for $29.95 through the skiin online store)

You’ve got some interesting points in this article. I would have never considered any of these if I didn’t come across this. Thanks!. source
