Review 1 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Great Eye Gel -- Sorry to See it's Discontinued
-05.14.13
Quick Take: hydrating, brightening, absorbs quickly
I really like this eye jel. Since I saw it won't be available any longer I'm hoarding my supply and just using when I'm going somewhere special. Feels really good and makes my eyes look younger. Gets rid of that crepe look under my eyes. Wish that effect was permanent.

Review 2 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel

Nothing is a Miracle- but this is close!
-05.12.13
I realize that nothing is going to be 100% satisfying to me, because I'm very picky, but this comes very close! When I started using this I noticed after a few days my dark circles looked lighter. It feels refreshing to put on, too. I agree with another user though- be very light/gentle with the pump- one full pump would be enough to cover your whole face! So just a quarter pump works fine for both my eyes, making this worth the money to me!

Does do anything
-05.09.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
I have very fair skin and so I have visible darkening under my eyes and a few fine lines. This product feels nice to put on but I have noticed not change whatsoever. Doesn't brighten my eye area and the area does not even appear more moisturized. Complete waste.

Review 6 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Great product!
-03.25.13
Quick Take: brightening, absorbs quickly
This eye gel is incredibly light and absorbs quickly. Since using this eye gel, I have definitely noticed that my dark circles aren't as dark any more.
A plus is that this little tube lasts forever.

Review 7 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
light milky formula, doesn't absorb
-03.12.13
Quick Take: milky, doesn't absorb
I love Ren products except this one. The formula is too light for my taste. I like heavier creams under eyes like Ysl. I was looking for something natural but this cream didn't moisturized my under eye area at all. I felled like I was tapping my under eyes forever to get the product absorbs. Too liquidly for me. I don't have time for that. Going back to my Ysl

Review 8 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Happy with this product
-03.12.13
I am happy with the way this product reduces the puffiness under my eyes, and I like the texture and how it rubs in. I do not know whether it is making much of a difference with my dark circles, but the puffiness is definitely reduced when using this. I like the packaging as well.

Review 9 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel

Quick Take: hydrating, brightening, absorbs quickly
When I first used this eye treatment I was a bit skeptical because I had never used a gel formulation before. I am usually the type of person who uses more of a rich and
Moisturizing eye cream. I was very pleasantly surprised! The REN eye gel is moisturizing and leaves a radiant and fresh finish on the whole eye area. It is cooling, and soothing. I used it at night as well as during the day.

Review 10 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Review 11 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Sample size was better
-11.05.12
I agree with the last reviewer; I also got this in the sample kit, and I liked it, it was lightweight, seemed to work well. So when I decided to purchase the full size, I didn't expect it would yield different results. It did! It seems like a different gel, and it stings my eyes! Why is it so hard to find a good eye cream/gel that is natural, and doesn't sting the eyes??

Review 12 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Small one was great, full-size, not so much...
-08.16.12
I originally tried this as part of the best of Ren set. The small version was great. It was light-weight, went on easily and absorbed fully. I liked it so much I bought the full-size. I don't know if they have re-formulated, but the full-size is not like the small one in the set. It feels like I'm putting nothing more than some water-down hair gel around my eyes. Here's the kicker though, the ones STINGS my eyes if I get it anywhere near them. I never experienced that with the small version. I know it might be great for some people, but I won't be buying it again.

Review 13 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Refreshing
-07.27.12
Quick Take: hydrating
I've used this for quite a few months now, and when I first started using it I can really see a difference in my under eye circles and puffiness. However, now after 5 months, it seems to not really make any difference anymore. Not sure if it's because the product stopped working for my skin or whatever, but I think i'll start switching eye cream brands every two months or so just so that my skin doesn't get used to it. However, one of the best eye gels I've ever used

Review 14 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Review 15 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
I look like I never went to bed :(
-05.11.12
Been using this product for 1 month after a Sephora store associate recommended it to reduce puffiness and fine lines under my eyes. And I wanted a more natural product.
Pros: 1) Dries to a non-oily finish helping prevent my mascara from running. 2) Closed pump container prevents bacteria from getting in the product. 3) This did not sting my eyes as most eye creams I've tried do.
Cons: 1) Pump is hard to control and too much product gets dispensed which wastes it. 2) Puffiness under my eyes did not go away. It actually got worse. I look like I am NOT well rested. 3) The gel formula is not moisturizing. It did very little for my fine lines. And when I put makeup over it, the makeup tugged at my skin and sat in my lines because this product did not provide a moisture barrier underneath to help with smooth makeup application.
I had high hopes for this product. But I will be returning it.

Review 16 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Rest in a bottle for sensitive eyes
-03.23.12
Quick Take: soothing, refreshing, fast-acting, pick-me-up, depuffs, glows
I've been using this eye gel since Christmas. I'm in grad school and work as an attorney, so I never get enough sleep. I also have sensitive eyes and allergies that make my eyes puffy. My favorite use for this eye gel is as a mid-day pick me up.
I keep one tube in my beauty kit (my amazing Trish McEvoy planner, please Sephora, start carrying her line) and one in a desk at the office.
This gel does add an instant boost in radiance. It also effectively helps address the puffiness under my eyes, although other producuts, like Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash, are probably more effective in terms of reducing puffiness. I find the REN gel also provides nice, light moisture and your concealer, etc. will apply beautifully over this product. I love that it doesn't sting or make my eyes itch, as do many radiance eye creams. I also am a big fan of the packaging - about half a pump delivers what I need for both eyes, and it's air tight so I know the effective ingredients will stay effective longer.

Nothing substitutes for sleep, but if you are looking for some faux-rest, try this gel, and also look at Tarte's Eye Brightening liner, Benefit Eye Bright, Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash, Bobbi Brown's Bone matte eye shadow, and Trish McEvoy's Instant Eye Lift and Eye Base (Laura Mercier sells a similar eye base).

Review 17 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Nice Product!
-03.04.12
Quick Take: soothing, refreshing, light, non irritating
I use this eye gel everyday prior to applying my concealor to moisturize the area. What I love about it is that it's very light & goes on nice. It feels nice & cool. I have very sensitive eyes. Almost every eye treatment I have used for around my eyes has irritated them/ made them extremely itchy. This is one of the only eye treatments which has NEVER caused me any irritation! Also, it doesn't cause my concealor to crease like other creams. Although my only complaint is that it does nothing for dark circles- if u are looking to correct that, this is not the product.

Review 18 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Not recommended
-12.27.11
Quick Take: not
I was disappointed with the Radiant Eye Gel, which was surprising since I love my other REN products. I used the gel for several weeks without any noticeable effects or improvements. I don't have many fine lines around my eyes, but I can be prone to circles and puffiness. Unfortunately, this didn't make much of an impact.
There are much better options for eye creams and gels than this.

Review 19 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Miraculous!
-12.12.11
I normally can't tolerate under-eye treatments because I am super sensitive to the caffeine in them and get heart palpitations, insomnia, etc. No fun and I don't want to live with bags under my eyes! So, I jumped on the chance to try this stuff as it just has ginseng and is lacking in a lot of chemical crud that I like to avoid. I wasn't really expecting it to work, but I always hang on to that hope! :) This morning, I woke up with mega bags, so it was the perfect time to try my new product! Literally within a minute of putting this on, my bags shrunk! It was like waving a magic wand... Crazy! And it kept my eyes hydrated today. Time will tell if I end up with a complaint, but for something to work instantly like this requires a rave review right off the bat, and I'm "sold" today at least! :)

Review 20 for Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
Great Product!
-11.02.11
Quick Take: refreshing, soothing, fast-acting
I'm always searching for a good eye cream, and this one is very good. I like the way it seems to tighten, or lift the skin on my upper eyelids. I also love the fact that it's not greasy like a lot of eye products. I've toyed with the idea of having an eyelift, but don't think I'm quite there yet. This product is helping me rethink a drastic procedure!! Ren, in general, makes great products.
