This product has a good thick texture allowing proper application and portion control (and a little goes a long way making its price for its value very reasonable). There are no perfumes and there are no residual sticky or greasy feeling after application. Also; I ran out of my normal face cream without realizing I was completely out (seperate Oil of Olay product), so I used this product as a temporary substitute on my entire face including the eye area. My face felt well-hydrated for the entire day. I have never before used a hydrating product made for the eyes on my entire face. I was very happy with the results and felt that if my entire face felt this well-hydrated (and not greasy or shiny), then this product must truly be well-designed and produced. I have used department store brand names as well as other over-the-counter products; I am sincerely happiest with this product.

I have been using this completely around my eyes twice a day, every day for the past few weeks or month. No bad side effects at all. I have 2 small children and for a while had somewhat dark rings under my eyes from lack of sleep. My mom said she definitely noticed a dramatic change with this since using this product. Awesome!
It has not caused me to break out (which I do very easily), so that is also awesome. And you only use a tiny amount each time, so this jar will last for a long time! I am betting at LEAST 6 months to a year.
So I really, really like it!

I just bought this eye cream after reading the great reviews about it. I have to admit I am disappointed. The cream has tiny bits of silica, which gives it a sheen to skin when applied. I guess that is supposed to be part of the effect, but I can't see how silica helps improve the skin as it is only a cosmetic fix. This doesn't do anything for night usage. Since I wear contact lenses, it is a disappointment as it can go into my eyes and cause irritation. I was hoping that this product would improve my skin as opposed to being just like "makeup".

I just received this item in the mail yesterday and tried it immediately. It is the first product that I've tried that has immediate results. My dark circles started to dissappear (I think there is a lightening effect in the cream but it still made me feel better) and the skin under my eyes felt tighter.

I have Philosophy's dark circle cream (the one in the tube) and Lancome's anti-puffer cream AND Garnier's eye roller..and I have not been impressed with any of those but this Olay cream is excellent.

I will use it for a longer length of time and if my results are negative I will re-rate this product but if not- then the stars stay!

I'm not sure I've made up my mind about it. It seems to work alright: it moisturizes and helps reduce dark under-eye circles to a point. I don't really have fine lines around my eyes yet, so I cannot speak to how it works for lines or wrinkles. That said, I give it 3 to 3 1/2 stars. It's a bit pricey for an eye moisturizer, since it does not work any better than some others I have tried. The cream seems to have some color or shimmer so that when you put it on, it brightens up the eye right away. That's kind of nice, but it's only cosmetic. I purchased this since it advertises that is can help lighten dark spots as well as moisturize and brighten dark circles. I have two brown spots under one eye that are either freckles or premature age spots. The cream has had no effect on them after about 4 weeks. Overall this eye cream is alright but definitely no miracle worker. I'll finish the bottle and probably go back to my old eye cream that worked just as well if not better for moisturizing.

Update: I downgraded this product from 3 to 2 stars. See my comment.

Now, I first must say I am 27 so my fine lines aren't as deeply set as someone twice my age...but they're evident, nonetheless. With that said, I LOVE this cream. It is definitely hydrating and in one week, I was able to see a DRAMATIC difference. The slight darkness is gone and the fine lines have almost disappeared. I would highly recommend this for someone in their late 20s to get a "head start" on beating the signs of aging.

I've been using Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream since 2003 when I was 24 years old. I chose this particular eye cream because I had already been using Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer SPF 15 for several years and was very pleased with it. I have been equally pleased with the Total Effects Eye Cream. It is a thick cream, so a little goes a long way. I use it twice daily and it usually lasts me about 4-5 months, unless one of my 3 young children gets ahold of it. I do not wear make-up and the tint to the eye cream really helps hide the dark circles under my eyes. I do have some very fine lines, but they're much less noticeable than other women my age. This cream provides great, non-greasy moisture too. I have eczema and the skin under my eyes gets very dry and scaly during winter, or rather that used to happen before I started using this cream. I haven't had that problem in years. As a long-term user of Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream, I can whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a great moisturizer that helps hide dark circles and minimize fine lines.

I normally like to buy items that are all natural (no tints). But I wanted to go on the cheaper end to found this item to fight fine lines as well moisturize and protect. This eye cream doesn't absorb as well as I had hoped. Also, it has a little tint, that minimally helps to cover up under eye circles. The downside to this cream is sometimes during warmer weather, it will bunch up and leave behind creases beneath your eyes. To me, it's a light weight under eye concealer (try to use a primer first). All in all, the best product I have used so far is "Clinique Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream." I will not give up looking for the best eye cream for the best price. Let me know if you have any suggestions. And the search continues!

I have been using this product for weeks and feel that it does nothing. I see no difference in my skin whatsoever. I really like Olay Products and use several of them but this product adds no value to my daily beauty regimen.

This eye treatment is great because it doesn't cake under the eye. I use Lancome makeup but the under-eye moisturizer would just cake under my eyes ( I tried Clarin, Arden, etc. too) and they all caked. This one didn't and it is a lot less expensive than the others. I would definitely recommend it.Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream, 0.5 Ounce
