My third time purchasing this eye cream. Love the cooling feel of the tip rolling underneath my eyes and over my eyelids. Feels so soft around my eyes. And brightens my dark circles!

I bought this eye cream 4 times , as I have very sensitive eyes and they have tendency to get puffy morning I use this cream , a few dots will do a job and I use slighting of white tip what is cooling for massaging the area . I love this cream as it is alternative to retinol and give settle shimmer to soft eye area . Loving it daily ! Ilia my favourite brand .

I tried the sample size of this eyecream and was blown away how it really brightened my undereyes. I knew I had to order the full size. I have mature sensitive skin and it didn't bother my eyes but made them feel firm and subtle. I don't like using concealer and felt I didn't really need to apply as much. I also like that it contains retinal for cellular turnover. I'm definitely going order on subscription so I never run out.

I really wanted this to work, especially given ILIA’s reputation and the promise of a gentle retinol alternative. Unfortunately, after consistent use, I noticed no visible improvement in fine lines, brightness, or overall eye area appearance.
The texture is fine and it didn’t irritate my skin, but that’s honestly the only positive. For the price point, I expected some kind of result (hydration, smoothing, brightening) and it delivered none of that for me. This might work for someone very young or not dealing with any eye concerns, but if you’re looking for noticeable results, this wasn’t it.

I am throughly impressed with ILIAs new Bright Start Retinol Alternative Eye Cream! Perfect for tired mature eyes and lip lines! Yes! Finally an eye cream that lifts and plumps delicate under-eye skin, brightens dark circles, and when applied to the upper lip smoothes and lessens the appearance of fine lines 😀 It's also clean, absorbs quickly and leaves no cast at all. Great for sensitive skin. I could toss out literally 4 other similar eye creams and only use ILIA! Highly recommend ✨️
