Quick Take: absorbs quickly
This eye cream feels silky soft on the skin, doesn't irritate the skin or eyes, and seems to keep crow's feet at bay. Didn't give it 5 stars b/c of the price, but I will most likely purchase again.

I've tried other eye creams but this is the best non-prescription stuff you can get. I've been using it for about 4 years and will never use anything else! Its the best!

Bad for my dry, sensitive skin
-05.19.13
I received a sample of this product with my last order. I was pretty excited to try it given the great reputation that Philosophy products have. Unfortunately, this did not work out for me at all. Within minutes of applying it, my skin was burning. I washed it off immediately and didn't seem to have any other problems once it was off of my skin. It may not be the best option for those of us with dry, very sensitive skin.

smooth application, effective
-05.18.13
Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly
it's not QUITE a miracle worker, but it sure is close. I got a small sample as a VIB bonus and tested it out on my right eye for a month before making a decision. It definitely reduced the super fine lines, and one deep line that had started forming in the center of my lower eyelid shrank to half it's size and is less deep. I could see a big difference between my right and left eye, so i decided to keep using it and purchased the full size. Love the way it goes on... very smooth and glides right onto the skin. Doesn't interfere with make up application at all. Great product!

Disappointing
-05.12.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
A sales woman at the store recommended this to help with my under-eye bags and dark circles, and I was really hoping to fall in love with it. On the plus side, it did not irritate my sensitive eyes or skin, and I did like the velvety feel of it after applying. BUT...after using it for almost a month, it did absolutely nothing for my dark circles, and actually made the puffiness worse. Also, it dried my skin out so much that wrinkles that had never been there before became huge creases. Not ok! So, I have now switched to a different eye cream that I like much better even after only using it for a couple of days. I have tried many of Philosophy's products over the years, and none of them have worked for me. I am either allergic to them, or they don't do what they say they will at all. For the price, there are definitely better eye creams out there!

I wanted to find something that would smooth out some of the little lines by my eyes but wouldn't be so oily that would make me breakout. After using this product I found my lines getting smaller and my skin become very smooth. I am so happy that I found something that worked.

Get a sample to try it first.
-05.11.13
Everybody's skin reacts different, so I will suggest to try a sample first because in my case, it felt like an intermittent pinching on my skin a few minutes after I applied, and the next day my skin will feel very itchy. I had to return it.

Miracle indeed.
-05.09.13
This is my very first and only product review so far. I absolutely loved this. Had been using Tarte's eye cream, which is very good too, but it just does not compare to how soft my skin is after using this philosophy product.

I use Philosphy exclusively
-05.08.13
I am sooooo bummed. I REALLY wanted this to work. However, after weeks of use (I missed only 2 doses) I am sad to report I saw NO change. The minimal bags I have under my eyes are not dark... but I do have fine lines and some puffiness but it is really not terrible. I felt I would be a great candidate for this product as I wouldn't need much of an improvement! Honestly, there is no change at all. I use ONLY Philosphy skin care on my face and have for more than 10 years. I try everything they pop up with in high hopes... back to the drawing board.
On the "up side"... It is very silky and smooth going on... It's probably a good eye cream from the moisture aspect, but hardly "reparative" or "restore and renew" product.

After several samples~we have a winner
-05.07.13
I was ready to ramp up my eye cream to work on some fine lines that were beginning to bother me more often. I visited the eye cream area and was given 5 different samples to try that all had a retinol ingredient. The thing I liked best about Miracle Worker Retinoid Eye Repair Cream is the silky texture that seems to help smooth out the lines as well as work at decreasing them. The packaging also seems easy to work with to get all of the cream out of once the pump reaches its limit, I like using until the last drop!

I bought it because one of the benefits was minimizing under-eye puffiness. That it does not do. It goes on nicely.but I can get a lower price eye cream to just go on nicely.

I have been using this product for about three weeks now, and I really like it! It is really gentle on your eyes, and I am definitely seeing a reduction in the dark circles under my eyes and the fine lines and creases on the edges.

A Good Eye Lightener
-05.07.13
Quick Take: brightening, absorbs quickly
It really improved the dark circles around my eyes. I can't really say that I have seen a reduction in the lines however. But I am in the 3rd or 4th week, so I may just need more time. I do like the consistency; it has a matte gel feel to it. It glides on and absorbs easily.

This really is a miracle cream!!
-05.03.13
I am 23yrs old and I have a few very visible fine lines under neath my eyes. (Even though I think I am too young to have them and I never found out how I got it) I purchased this exactly a week ago, after reading all the good reviews. And that was the best decision of my life!!! After a week my horrible lines are less visible and my dark ciscles are lighter!! If one week can do this I wonder what my eyes will look like after a month!! I can't wait!! I reccomend this for anyone in their 20s or 30s to purchase this if they wabt to get rid off their fine lines and dark circles!! Trust me you won't regret it!!!

Quick Take: brightening, absorbs quickly
So far so good. I am on the second week of using it. My eyes and the surrounding area do look better. I am actually using less concealer. I only gave it a 4 star as I am waiting to see what the outcome will be in 4 weeks.

The Best Out There
-04.30.13
Quick Take: hydrating, brightening, absorbs quickly, soothing
Truth be told this is the only philosophy products I use, and I generally don't shop the brand. That being said, I had been looking for something with retinol/retinoid and peptides for my eye area, as I am now in my mid-30s. I tried a bottle of this, and then moved on to StriVectin-SD Eye Concentrate. I was shocked to realize that the philosophy product not only worked better, but felt better. I like to layer eye treatments, with this powerful punch being my first base layer, followed by an eye cream (Shiseido Benefiance for day, Estée Lauder Advanced Eye Repair at night). This product is a gel consistency, and a little goes a long way. The gel consistency also makes applying eye cream over it rather easy and flawless. This is a literally the only product with retinol and peptides for the eye area that doesn't ball up or have a super strange texture, or cause horrible irritation. I have had absolutely no irritation from this product whatsoever, and find it rather soothing. I actually tossed my expensive StriVectin eye cream, and purchased another bottle of this. Thumbs-up philosophy.

Quick Take: brightening, reduces fine lines
I am 24 and was looking for an eye cream that would be kind of an all in one type item. I noticed a lot of friends a few years older than I that were beginning to show some signs of aging and decided it was time to start doing something for myself. I liked that this is paraben free and has peptides, retinoid, and vitamin C.
I started off using it just in the evenings because I wasn't sure how it would effect my eyes. They seemed a little sensitive at first, but my eyes seemed to adjust to it so I could use it in the morning as well. I only use half a pump for both eyes (a little goes a long way). Obviously DO NOT GET IT IN YOUR EYES OR THEY WILL BECOME IRRITATED. I've been using for a month now and have noticeable reduction in any smile wrinkles I have and slight reduction in under eye bags and dark circles. Obviously as a result increased brightness. It has done exactly what it said it would. I am very pleased and will buy it again when I have used it all.

Quick Take: absorbs quickly
I've been a faithful user of Philosophy products for years, so when their new eye cream became available, I gave it a try.
It's really light, yet I can feel it tingle when I put it on. It absorbs quickly and really does do what it says it will do!
