Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure® Firming Eye Cream

What it is:A cream that dramatically firms the eye area, reduces puffiness, and replenishes hydration. What it is formulated to do:The skin surrounding the eye area is thin, so there is a paradoxical need for a specially formulated cream that is strong yet gentle. By combining the benefits of the exclusive Hydra-Pure Chelating Complex(R) with 14 powerful ingredients that stimulate collagen and prevent its breakdown, you will see an immediate lifting effect around the eye area that is sustained with continued use. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens What else you need to know:Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare's Chelating Complex(TM) detoxifies skin from heavy metals and free radicals found in the water used to cleanse the face. Gentle enough for all skin types, this product is dermatologist-approved, vegan, and cruelty-free.

Just OK
-11.12.12
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
Let me start out by saying I don't have wrinkles around my eyes so I can't tell you how this works on wrinkles. I bought this because I was hoping the firming aspect would tighten the skin under my eyes and reduce the slight sunken in area under my eyes. This isn't really any better then other eye creams I've used.

Light but adequate

Quick Take: a good basic
I like that it is not too heavy & still hydrates. If an eye cream is too rich it clogs undereye pores. This one is just right. No miracles though.

nice results
-01.13.12
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating, works
I use this in the morning by itself, and at night in tandem with PeterThomasRoth Retinal Fusion PM. After only a couple weeks, between the two products, the beginnings of my crows feet are gone. The price tag is a little high, but you barely need to apply any so the jar should last you a long time.

Is this working? I can't tell just yet. But I have gotten carded every single time I've gone out since I started using it (and I've gone out pretty often and in four different states).

EXCELLENT, EVEN OVER THE SHORT-TERM (SAMPLE)
-07.12.11
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating, rich
Dr. Dennis Gross Hydra-Pure Firming Eye Cream with Chelating Complex seems to be very good. I had a sample which I temporarily substituted for my regular firming eye cream, and it worked very well. I also used some of the sample in the afternoon, when I wouldn't have necessarily used anything, because the area around my eyes felt a little puffy from stress. Although I couldn't see anything either way, after applying the cream, the area under my eyes FELT better. I suspect, over the long term, that this would be an excellent product to consider.

good so far... NOT a cream
-06.22.11
Quick Take: lightweight, drying, anti-aging
So, I did stop using this and noticed a difference, so I do think it works. I got it because I was getting some deeper lines under my eyes and this has retinol in it, which works great for lines under eyes, but is usually too irritating in retin-a or other creams not made for the eyes... Anyhow, I was totally disappointed with the fact that it isn't really a cream. LIARS come clean. It's a gel that doesn't moisturize well at all. So, i have to layer this under Dr. Perricone's eye lift (love that one) and then follow that one (which isn't moisturizing enough either and is watery rather than rich, but it WORKS) with a cream on top. And now I'm realizing that I have $350 worth of eye creams in my drawer... Anyhow, this does help with lines. The Dr. Perricone eye lift helps with hooding and puffiness and my creams keep the skin hydrated through the day. Each one alone isn't enough to do the various jobs I need them to do, hence the layering... So, if you are in a dry climate like me, just know that if you don't layer a cream over this, you will end up with worse problems that before! Retinol is very drying, so tsk tsk that this isn't in a cream!!! And tsk tsk tsk for false advertising!

After Trying Dozens Of Treatments This Is It
-03.03.11
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating
I have/(had) puffiness, dark circles and some fine lines. It is the dark circles that bothered me the most. I have tried many eye creams for dark circles, none helped. This eye cream did help the dark circles by just making my under eye area stronger and better looking in general. By reducing the puffiness and firming, the circles look much better by using this cream. It is more of a gel consistency, which is fine with me. My under eye area looks far better than it has in years. The fine lines and crepiness that were starting to creep in are reduced significantly. I also have very sensitive skin, including the under eye area so I was scared to try this. I experienced NO irritation at all. This surprises me very much. Even some of the eye creams advertised as being for very sensitive skin would burn or just not help. This moisturizes very well and make-up sits very nice on it. I never write reviews unless I am very happy or very disappointed and this made me very happy. I am impressed and would recommend this to anyone for all under-eye concerns. The price is a concern which is why I only gave 4 stars. Give this a good week to start seeing some results and a little longer for maximum results. It takes the skin time to rebuild itself.

The Results Are Worth the Price
-12.21.10
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating, rich, gentle, effective, soothing, diminishes puffiness, banishes dark circles, smooths and firms, brightens eye area, really expensive but worth it
I'm in my late 20s, and for awhile now I've been looking for a great eye cream to use at night. Sometimes I wake up with puffy eyes, dark circles or just really tired looking eyes and I wanted a night cream that would help with these problems. I fell in love with this one when I tried a sample and knew I wanted to buy it. I almost reconsidered when I saw the price but I decided to splurge.
The long-term results proved to be even better than the short-term results. I don't wake up with puffiness nearly as much as I used to and my eyes look brighter too. I have no more problems with dark cricles now, either--I hardly even have to wear any concealer. I can't be sure about anti-aging benefits since I don't have lines yet, but judging by how incredibly smooth and noticeably firm my eye area is after using this cream, I'm confident it will help prevent fine lines and wrinkles before they even start.
My only complaint is about the exorbitant price. Granted, you don't have to use very much of the product for it to be effective so I'm sure even the small jar will last awhile. But still--ouch! However, if you can get past the intial heart attack that comes from reading the price tag, I certainly think this product is worth trying. The results are amazing and worth even a price as expensive as this.

this eye cream delivers!
-11.18.10
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating, absorbs easily, effective, soothing, erases lines, firms and plumps
I have tried dozens of eye creams and this is the only one that has worked! I have very thin skin around my eyes that in the last year and a half has become wrinkled and dry. no other eye creams did anything other than hydrate. this one really did make my under eye more firm - the crepey look totally went away and my under eyes were plump, firm and looked like my eyes did a few years ago. (when I was 26 I suddenly stated getting lines under my eyes which runs in my family). makeup applied well too because my under eyes were so hydrated. This cream is more like a gel and absorbs well and quickly - no milia is possible b/c it is so lightweight. the PERFECT eye cream. It also is very cooling and soothing. only problem is that it is too expensive and I cannot afford to purchase it after I ran out of the sample packs my friend gave me :-(. looking forward to the day I can buy this and continue to have young under eyes :)

Beware sensitive eyes!
-10.09.10
Quick Take: irritating
Received this as a sample with a recent order, and tried it out a couple of times. Both times it seemed to make dark circles and bags appear where they weren't before, and both times the fumes made my eyes burn something fierce. The second time it somehow got into my eyes and the burning was awful for a solid 30 min. Not a very promising introduction to something that others find useful.

Great AM eye cream!
-06.02.10
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating, rich, awakening!
Yes, it's more of a gel than a creme, but I almost prefer it that way! I refrigerate mine overnight and wake to an AMAZING de-puffing secret, even after a night of red wine and cry-baby movies. It's reduced the lines around my eyes to mere sketches and it brightens the delicate skin in that area more than a heavy concealer or even airbrushed make up ever has!!! I sound like a fanatic because I am one -- I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Quick Take: hydrating
I have been using for 3 years. I've tried others but keep coming back to this. It is expensive, but it lasts and I only need to purchase 2-3 times per year. They have improved the formula so that it keeps the same texture as when first purchased.

Quick Take: hydrating, rich, no fragrance
I suffer dark circles so have tried so many creams and solutions. I love this product especially when combined with the special eye treatment pads. I thought it was a bit costly at first but bought the pads and realized I needed the cream so had no choice. I do not regret it for one moment. It seems to absorb really well and I have noticed a difference after only a couple of weeks of use.

Best Eye Cream, EVER!!!
-03.27.10
Quick Take: hydrating, lightweight, rich, powerful
I've had a few jars of this now and I'm addicted. It's the best, most qualified gel to ever go on my skin and I'm thrilled I found it when I did. I was born and raised in Utah and am now a ski instructor at 9500 feet during the winter and an outdoors fiend in the summer and my skin goes through absolute torture every day. The Hydra-Pure line is one of the ONLY products that can keep up and helps the delicate epidermis around my eyes stay young and healthy. Wrinkles are a long way off as long as I continue to love and use this product -- I don't recommend anything else! Trust me, it's the best $90 you'll ever spend.

Only the Best
-03.11.10
Quick Take: lightweight, silky
I used MD Hydra-Pure moisturizer and I liked it very much so I decided to try the eye cream while I was in a Sephora store. I saw immediately that it reduced the puffy, tired look of the eye I tried it around. The untreated eye looked like it belonged to someone 10 years older! I just wish it would lighten the dark circles areound my eyes, better. I tried the eye serum that is suppose to tighten and lighten and it didn't firm anything like this one does.
