AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Eye Treatment Gel Cream, 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

Love this!

It's fantastic.

Great product, but too expensive

So I ended up being lucky enough to order a number of items from Amorepacific through the Vine program. I am a 50 year old man that has been fighting my age with a good face care regiment for about a decade now. I have used or use stuff from Kiehls, Brickell, Phace, Neutrogena, and a bunch of others I have found over the years. This is my first time using this product line and I was more than a little curious why they were priced so high. Amorepacific describes their process as handcrafted. They own their own green tea farm on a Korean Island. Their claim is that their use of high end ingredients, meticulously crafted and cultivated, make for better products. Call me skeptical.Let me say unequivocally that this is really great eye cream. There are others out there that I think are on par but, after a week of using this, the difference is noticeable. Eye cream tends to be expensive but a little goes a long way and that's the case here. It goes on cool, leaves the skin around your eyes feeling great, and does real work on your wrinkles and dark spots. Of the products I received from Amorepacific, I think this is their best value. At $85, it is in line with other high end eye creams and I doubt you will find a better one. Call me a big fan. I am a skeptic no more. Well done to the Amorepacific team here!

Amorepacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Eye Treatment Gel Cream promises “rich hydration” and claims to be able to minimize the appearance of dark circles and puffiness for a revitalized, youthful look. This feels like an ultra lightweight eye gel that’s pleasing in the sense it dries quickly and has a non greasy matte finish. There’s no need to wait before applying my makeup.But this eye gel feels too lightweight, and I don’t feel or see any noticeable benefits. At a minimum, I’d expect to get adequate hydration (perhaps even plumping from sodium hyaluronate) and a comfortable feeling, but I don’t get either. This gel also fails to help my dark circles, though in fairness mine are difficult to address and few products make a noticeable difference.I’m in my late 50’s with dry, sensitive skin. I don’t get a rash from this gel, but my skin gets a burning feeling. It may be the chemical fragrance, but I suspect it’s the alcohol as it’s the 7th ingredient on a long list. Per Paula Begoun, non fatty alcohol is bad for the natural barrier of the skin no matter what skin type and is a “pro-aging” (rather than anti-aging) ingredient. I see no reason to start adding alcohol to my regimen at this point.This gel does have some potentially beneficial dry skin ingredients, such as sodium hyaluronate, beta glucan, glycerin, vitamin E, butylene glycol and soybean seed extract. Also, for reducing discoloration, it has niacinamide and acetyl glucosamine (though I’ve read “n-acetyl glucosamine” is best). Most ingredients with available data rate low risk per EWG, though a few rate moderate risk and fragrance rates high risk. While this gel has some good low risk ingredients, many alcohol free eye treatments provide me superior hydration and benefits. 3 stars.

My skin is not overly sensitive, but it did not like this skin cream. I've broken out in red, scaly patches on the outer edges of each eye. It looks like super dry skin, and is the slightest bit sore when I touch it. This is after 2.5 weeks of use. I can't take it anymore and am giving up on this product.I was not super enamored with it, anyway. I end up with my smudged mascara under my lower lash line every time I use this product. This is generally not an issue that I have. It has a strong floral scent that fades quickly, but still seems unnecessary. The container is overly complicated, too, just for aesthetics. The container is basically the lid, with the small metal disk serving as the container.

I'm so irritated by this product.First, I'm not sure who designed the container/presentation but its like opening one of those old fashioned nesting dolls. There is a cardboard box in a cardboard sleeve wrapped in plastic. Then, you remove the container. The top has a metal disk on it with a sort of a bubble - no amount of pressing did anything. Turns out the bottom unscrews and then you flip that, and there is a little container in that.Then, when I finally opened it, I was hit by the STRONG floral scent. Yikes! I bravely tried it and it is so strong that it made my eyes water. The gel itself is very soothing and I can tell it is an excellent product. IF you can get past the smell. I can not.

I love a good eye cream, and this one is really versatile and effective. At night I can use slightly more and my eyelids stay moisturized all night. In the morning I can use just a dab and it works well under make up. My lower eyelids are less puffy in the morning, and fine lines seem to be smoothing out after a couple of weeks. While most of the products I've tried from Amore Pacific are heavily scented, this one is not which is great for sensitive skin. I truly dislike the lid on the jar, it makes it awkward to unscrew it on such a small jar, but this isn't a huge problem on the eye cream jar. The moisturizer jar lids are another story, those things are too big for my hands! But this is an awesome eye cream for my dry 30 something skin. They definitely make me feel like less of a tired looking mom.
