Not Just for Guys!
-03.07.13
Quick Take: hydrating, lightweight, soothing
I figured I'd try this after I read a few of the reviews and it was well worth it! It's made for guys so it makes sense that it dries pretty fast and it's no-fuss. Perfect for all the moms out there that want to look like they actually got some sleep and have no time to fuss with lots of product in the morning before work (but it still goes greatly under concealer if you feel more comfortable with that on). I put this on with my ring finger and do my eyeliner/mascara and by that time it's dry!

Fabulous eye treatment!
-11.15.12
I bought this in desperation for my dry undereyes. I thought "Try it-what the heck". It's been great. I use it then top it with something a bit oilier. My undereye area stays moist all day. I found this product in the mens production section.

Sticky
-10.03.11
Quick Take: cooling, soothing
This eye balm which really is a gel feels good on the skin and cools the area around the eyes. For a short period of time your eyes feel less tired because of the slight cooling sensation. The problem is that it doesn't seem to absorb well and feels sticky on the skin even after a few hours. I decided to only use at night because I don't want to walk around with sticky eyes during the day. Unfortunately it produced no visible results, my eyes still looked tired and I still had bags and puffiness. I went back to day/night use and still no visible results. Expect for the nice cooling effect that lasts for a bit this eye balm does not provide any visible results like the others on the market. I gave it 3 stars only because it didn't make anything worse and the cooling effect did feel nice while it lasted.

Bought it for my husband!!!!
-08.28.11
Quick Take: cooling, soothing
I have been married 27 years and I have never seen my husband use any product except shaving cream on his face! He recently had a birthday and I thought I would surprise him with a gift bag from Sephora - he thought it was a joke! Inside the small bag I had purchaed a few items from the Jack Black collection for him to use...a moisturizer, this eye balm and the lip balm. Guess what? He's using them! He did ask me what he was supposed to do with them and now his morning/evening routine includes using these products! Time will tell if they make a difference with his complexion or if he will let me know when one of them runs out, but in the meantime, he's enjoying the products! They do not leave any type of residue so they go unnoticed which is great for a guy!

Good, Not Great
-04.22.11
So I took a chance on this produt since I was using a gift card. In the last 4wks I have noticed decreased puffiness but minimal lightening of the dark circles and no change in lines (but to be fair I didn't start with much in the way of lines anyway). So as much as I would love to love this product have to mark it down for no change to the dark circles. Good, just not great.

Lightweight & Non Sticky/Greasy
-04.05.11
Quick Take: non-scented, lightweight
I am pleased with the feel of this product. I am not seeing any reduction in lines as of yet, I've been using this product daily for about 3 weeks now. I like that it is non-scented and does not leave a heavy feeling under my eyes.

Quick Take: cooling
I'm very glad it worked for everyone else, but I used this product for about 1.5 weeks and absolutely no noticeable difference in my dark bags under my eyes. Too bad!

My husband suffers from dark circles under the eyes, but let me tell you that this cream has improved his eyes. His eyes look brighter and younger, dark circles have been going away gradually, and I can see less of the fine lines under his eyes. I would definately keep buying this product for him.

Soothing and makes my eyes happy.
-11.15.10
Quick Take: cooling, soothing
First off, I have sensitive skin and I have to be careful with products, even more careful around my eyes. I'm on my third tube and love this stuff because of the way it feels and makes my eyes look. I needed something that would help with the moisture around my eyes, as well as the puffiness. This balm helped with both issues. Although its called a balm, it's more of a cooling gel that I use during the day (lightly scented but certainly not overpowering). At night I go with Dior's hydra life for eyes (feels good and smells great).
I know Jack Black Eye Balm is meant for men, but I like it too. Plus, the price is decent, and my eyes feel and look good. One thing I've noticed, when I use my Makeup Forever concealer (usually mixing the concealer with a little moisturizer) it doesn't make my concealer flake off.

Not worth the price

Plan to return this product. Leaves the area around my eyes sticky, I only use a dot. To me it's not worth the price. Sorry Jack.

For the man in your life.
-09.06.10
Quick Take: soothing, non greasy
My husband not only likes this, he really likes the packaging and how he can easily squeeze just the right amount out of the tube. It is non greasy and wonderfully moisturizing. Do not expect miracles but do expect a softer and younger appearance of the eye area after using this. It has improved my husbands eye area, I can tell by just looking. His eye look brighter, moisturized and have a more rested and youthful appearance. Get this for your husband or for yourself because its an all around good value. You will see good results!

This eye balm is the only thing that soothes my under eye dryness. Everything else on the market makes my eyes sting, this stuff is great. I use morning and night...couldn't be happier with it...its not just for men!

Quick Take: cooling, soothing, scented, amazing, easy to wear, moisturising
Well as a student i usually hold of on assignment until the day before, so i end up only getting 3 hours of sleep. So, at 17, i have already developed eye bags. I am not allowed to wear sunglasses in class, so my tender eye area is exposed, but this amazing product conceals the eye bags by minimizing them. Also, my eye area is no longer feels sensitive or tender in the florescent light.

Husband raves over this one!
-04.09.10
Quick Take: cooling, soothing, moisturising, gives more youthful look, it works!
I decided to indulge my husband with this product because he loves all the other Jack Black products he has tried. After using this Eye Balm for over a week, we can both see a real difference. His smile lines have softened, and he and I both notice his eyes are de-puffed with regular use.
He says it is completely non irritating, and has asked for a second tube to have available just for traveling.
Another man at his office asked him if he had an eye lift or went to a spa, and my husband told him about this. My huband was really impressed other people noticed the improvement, too!
My husband is 57, and is outside all the time. He highly recommends the Jack Black line to everyone!

Really works...
-03.18.10
I've been purchasing Jack Black products for my husband over the past few weeks because I told him at age 47 he needs to take care of his skin. He has been a trooper and has tried everything I've brought home for him to try, but I was worried that asking him to use an eye cream would be a little too much. However, he gave it a try and it turned out that he really likes it. He says it makes his eyes feel hydrated and he likes that it only takes a minute to use and it's not greasy and absorbs quickly. He has continued using it over the past few weeks and he and I can both see a difference in the lines around his eyes and they look brighter and healthier. He has made this part of his bedtime routine now and asked me the other night how easy the eye balm is to find because when this runs out he would like another tube. That speaks volumes about this eye balm because my husband has gone from a man that didn't use any product on his face except aftershave to using products I never thought I'd see him actually use. This has made a very noticeable difference in his eye area and I would recommend it to anyone.
