Didn't Notice A Difference
-05.15.13
I didn't notice any difference in my eye area after I used this. I would wake up looking as if I hadn't applied anything at all the night before. Might have been better off had I not applied anything at all. But I absolutely LOVE the Firming & Lifting Eye Gel by Algenist and actually see the results of its overnight labor.

Review 4 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
This one really works
-05.12.13
Quick Take: hydrating, brightening, absorbs quickly
I had to search a long time and go through many eye cream samples to find one that I'm not allergic to and actually does what it says it does. I use this cream twice a day and have definitely seen lines disappear and dark circles fade (and I had some pretty major dark circles!). My eyes are sensitive and it doesn't bother them. Plus, I think it's easily worth the $; the jar should last 6 months or more. You only need a tiny dab for it to be effective.

Review 5 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
The best skin care I have ever used!
-05.12.13
Quick Take: hydrating, brightening, absorbs quickly, eradicates wrinkles, makes the skin smooth as glass, removes crepiness
I am astounded at the efficacy of this line. I'm almost 59 and all the lines under my eyes have completely disappeared. I bought a "starter kit" with the Algenist serum, eye balm and moisturizer and I took their "ten day challenge", fully expecting to get a refund. Imagine my surprise when every one of their outrageous claims were realized. I purchased a LightStim tool (Google it and buy one) and I combined the light therapy with this line and I have taken 10 years off my face.
I recommend this line to EVERYONE, as I have tried every high-end and expensive product trying to eradicate those wrinkles that I had so much fun earning. Simply said, Algenist is unbelievable. (My sister tells her friends that she still thinks I had something done.)

Review 6 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
Love it!
-05.10.13
Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly
I have been using this for several months now and love it. Those deep lines are not so prominent. I use it at night because I have oily skin and especially in warmer weather I shine more. This is heavier than the gel but again, I use it at night.

Review 7 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
Hydration....ahhhh!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: hydrating, brightening, absorbs quickly
I have fallen in love with the Algenist product line! I can apply these products as heavily (or minimally) as I want, they're non-irritating, and I don't break out! (Living in a dry climate, it is tough to find products that meet all my requirements.) And, I'm especially pleased because I do not wear foundation, and my skin is already reflecting an improvement (less visible sun spots and fine lines) after using Algenist products for about two weeks. Yippee!

Review 9 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
Great product
-05.06.13
Quick Take: brightening, absorbs quickly
I have tried every eye cream out there, and this one works best for me by far. It has helped with the dark circles, reduced the bags under my eyes, reduced crepiness on the upper eye area and reduced fine lines. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts a very long time. I have been using this for some time. I have tried new things that come on the market, but still find that this one works best for me. I won't switch.

Review 10 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
Just ok
-05.03.13
Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly, somewhat oily
Used two samples from Sephora but don't really feel it any special. I have combination skin and this cream hydrates me but it greases my foundation in a couple of hours. Guess it is probably more suitable for more matured or dry skin.

Review 11 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
Super Sad - Super Unimpressed
-05.01.13
Ok, so this is my first ever review of any product on Sephora and I'm sad it's not great. So I went in and asked for the best eye cream(I planned to spend extra $$ because eye cream is important!) for anti-aging/dark circles and the sales person immediately brought me to this product so of course I was SUPER excited because I was told that everyone in the store thought "it's THE BEST EVER!" and so I bought it. I have had it for probably 3 months and used it twice a day for the first 2 before giving up on it and moving on.....
1. it does NOT sit well under any kind of make-up. It has caused me to have to redo under eye make-up because it cakes up. I have tried so many things and even tried putting it on directly after getting out of the shower and waiting for up to 15 minutes and still gets everywhere
2. I have seen zero difference in my lines and under eye circles.
Pros:
1. It is very moisturizing and you can use it both under your eye and on your eyelid because of how gentle it is (I should have known when they told me that not to buy it since 'gentle' doesn't usually mean 'gets rid of wrinkles', and $60 is lot for just moisture)
2. it will last for a loooong time. I use it every night now(basically because I spent $60 on it) and it will probably last for 2 more months at least

So if you have extra money laying around and you want to moisturize around your eyes, by all means go for it. But if you want any other benefit I do not recommend
If you are dying to try it then GET A SAMPLE FIRST!!!

Review 12 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
Good so far
-04.25.13
Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly
I just started using the cream about 2 weeks ago, and so far so good. It feels good going on, and doesn't' sting if it gets too close to my eye. I'm hoping for the anti-aging to really help with the fine lines. I really love the Algenist line overall.

Review 13 for Complete Eye Renewal Balm
Best Eye Balm. EVER.
-04.23.13
Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly
I bought this on a recommendation of a makeup artist. I had used Kiehl's before and didn't see much of a difference when using it so I thought it was worth trying something new. The Algenist eye balm is AMAZING. I've used it for three days and truly see a difference already. My fine lines are barely visible and the skin around my eyes feels so much more moisturized. Worth the $60 price tag (and since you need only a dab each time, it should last a while).

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm
-04.22.13
Love the Algenist products. This one is light, yet very effective. I have not been able to get a lot of sleep lately, yet there are NO dark circles or bags under my eyes. If they look a bit puffy in the morning, it goes away as soon as I smooth on some of this product.

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, rejeuvinating
A Sephora in-store consultant suggested this and I was skeptical ($65 price tag). Well, I have used it for two months and carry it with me in my makeup bag and keep one on my desk for daytime hydrating. Big difference!

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, reduces puffines & dark circles
My problem for years now are puffy eyes and dark circles. Have tried many eye creams from department store/Sephora brands to drugstore brands. This is the only product that gave noticeable results by actually reducing my bags and dark circles. Note I said "reduce." Don't expect a miracle cream that will eliminate problem areas but am just happy to see obvious effects. It took a while to see results - about 4 weeks from 1st use. But I love the results that I'm about to make my 2nd purchase online. I live in a humid country (outside the US) but have no problems with the consistency even upon application. I also have sensitive eyes but have not felt any stinging or had blurry vision. Would give it 5 stars if it were in a more hygienic packaging instead of the open jar packaging it comes in.
