  Pros

  The cream absorbs smoothly and doesn't cause any irritation, which is great. I can even apply it generously around my eyes without experiencing any stinging. When I slather it on before bed, my skin stays hydrated until the next morning.

  Cons

  Unfortunately, it tends to cause pilling when I apply makeup over it. Even though it seems to absorb well, there's still a bit of pilling, which is somewhat disappointing.

  Pros

  The absorbs is fantastic! It has an emulsion-like texture that spreads easily and glides on smoothly. The applicator tip makes it hygienic. No need to scoop product with your fingers. Though the tip looks narrow, when you tilt and press it like a highlighter pen, the product flows out smoothly and in sufficient quantity. It absorbs well, causing no irritation around the eyes. The product itself is gentle, and since the eye area has delicate skin, it's best to use minimal pressure. The short applicator reduces hand-induced stress, which is great. With its low rich feel, it seems less likely to cause blemishes around the eyes. Considering the price range for eye care products, I'd say this is reasonably priced.

  Cons

  While there aren't any significant drawbacks, it's not particularly suitable for addressing existing wrinkles.

  Pros

  Since it's used around the eyes, I believe it shouldn't cause any irritation. There's no stinging or irritation felt. The applicator has a silicone-like soft texture, making it easy to apply and clean, which seems hygienic. Above all, the most noticeable change is in my skin. While I can't definitively attribute it to this product alone, I had some small bumps around my eyes, and they seem to have calmed down.

  Cons

  I don't have any complaints... The scent is nice, the texture is good, and the product itself suits me perfectly.

  Pros

  First off, I love that the applicator has a flat silicone tip, making it gentle and easy to apply without irritation! As someone who considers an eye cream successful if it doesn't sting my eyes or cause milia, I'm happy to say this one meets both criteria! True to its serum nature, it has a lightweight finish that doesn't feel heavy, so I don't mind using it daily. I believe that consistently applying a moderately hydrating product is more effective than occasionally using an ultra-rich one, so I'm satisfied with how this feels. The gentle ingredients are a plus, and I'm hoping it might even help fade my dark circles. I think this will become a staple in my daily routine.

  Cons

  Eye creams typically come in small quantities, but at less than 20ml - just 15ml - this one feels particularly tiny and precious. The price point makes it a bit daunting to purchase. Also, if you have very dry skin, you might find the level of hydration insufficient.

  Tip

  I've found that instead of applying it during the serum step, it works better for me to use this as the final step in my routine. After applying face cream, I gently pat a small amount around my eyes. This method prevents any pilling and allows for smoother application!

  Pros

  It comes in a tube with a uniquely designed opening, which seems to keep dust out effectively. The product absorbs well, feeling smooth on application. I initially thought it might be a bit rich, but it absorbs quickly without any stickiness, which is great. When applied under the eyes after cleansing, it noticeably reduces deep dryness. It's gentle enough for my super sensitive skin, which I appreciate.

  Cons

  While the scent isn't overpowering, it has a medicinal smell reminiscent of ointment, which I'm not fond of. The price seems a bit high for the amount you get.

  Pros

  This is a review from The Hwahae Testers First off, I really liked that the serum dispenser has a silicone tip with a soft, pillowy texture. For eye creams, we often apply them directly under the eyes, and I found this one glides on smoothly without any irritation to the skin. From this detail alone, you can tell how thoughtfully designed this product is. Plus, with such gentle and high-quality ingredients, I don't think there's any need to worry about blemishes. Application: The texture is similar to a light moisturizer, and you can feel the hydration instantly upon application. It absorbs quickly, so even if you layer it multiple times, there's no stickiness or pilling. Scent: There doesn't seem to be any artificial fragrance. It's practically unscented.

  Cons

  I don't have any complaints about the formula or the product itself. The only downside is the price... It seems quite expensive for the amount you get. I suppose that's because of the quality ingredients and effectiveness, but it might be a bit pricey for regular, separate purchases.

  Tip

  Since the amount is small, I found it works well to use just a rice-grain sized amount and apply it twice. Also, it seemed to work great as a spot treatment for smile lines or areas that need extra moisture during seasonal changes.

  Pros

  The scent is unscented, and while the texture isn't too rich, it's not lightweight either (it has just the right consistency!). I think it's perfect for those in their early to mid-20s who are just starting to use eye creams! It's also incredibly gentle. Since it's applied around the eyes where it could potentially get in, it's crucial that it doesn't cause irritation. I'm happy to report that even when applied close to the eyes, there was no stinging or irritation. After use, there was no greasy residue, and it absorbed well. When I woke up in the morning, there was no dryness or cracking around my eyes!

  Cons

  There weren't many downsides, but because the texture is moderate, those in their 30s or older might prefer to look for a richer product!

  Tip

  Use an amount about the size of a bean! When I first used it, I didn't know and squeezed out too much. It felt like it wasn't absorbing completely!

  Pros

  Overall rating: 4.8 out of 5 Skin type: Overall => Very dry, sensitive, atopic skin (severe on body, not on face) Eye area => Prone to smiling, so some under-eye wrinkles, severe dark circles Review: Application and texture: As an eye serum, it has a hydrating formula that applies smoothly without any discomfort or irritation. It absorbs well, leaving the eye area feeling moisturized. When I let it fully absorb before applying moisturizer, I can definitely feel the difference in how hydrated my eye area becomes. Packaging and tip: The tube packaging is hygienic and easy to use. I especially love the flexible silicone? tip, which allows for direct application to the eye area without causing irritation. The transparent silicone also makes it easy to control the amount of product dispensed. Scent: As someone sensitive to fragrances (I sneeze immediately with strongly scented products), I appreciate that this is nearly fragrance-free and doesn't cause any discomfort. Personally, I'm happy it seems to be fragrance-free as I often have issues with fragranced products. Effectiveness: While it's too soon to see long-term results, I'm satisfied with how hydrating it is and how well it applies and absorbs. Since it's supposed to be effective for dark circles, I plan to keep using it consistently.

  Cons

  Since it's a serum, you might want to apply a separate eye cream afterwards for extra moisture!

  Tip

  I apply it before my moisturizer!

  Pros

  This eye serum comes in a perfectly portable size! Although it's marketed for the eye area, I think it could work well for the entire face too. It has a rich texture but doesn't feel sticky at all - it's quite lightweight! I guess being a serum, it applies more lightly than a cream would. Cetaphil is known for their body products, so you can trust the moisturizing properties and ingredients. I experienced no blemishes or irritation even when applying it to the delicate skin around my eyes. It's fragrance-free and doesn't irritate the eyes, making it comfortable to apply. While it claims to help with dark circles, I haven't used it long enough to confirm that, but I can definitely say it feels hydrating!

  Cons

  While I wish I could slather it on generously, the small quantity is a bit disappointing. However, most eye serums come in small sizes, so this isn't a drawback unique to this product. It absorbs well and has a nice texture, but being a serum, it might not provide as much moisture as a cream would.

  Tip

  It would be great to apply during travel or at the office! The small tip makes it easy to control the amount, and it's really convenient to carry around.

  Pros

  The gentle ingredients are great for my skin, which tends to develop bumps if I apply eye cream incorrectly. Thankfully, this product didn't cause any such issues. I was intrigued by the rubber seal on the container when I first saw it. Looking at the texture, I initially thought it might be an ointment or cream, but after applying it, I understood why they call it a serum. When I layered on the right amount - just a small portion - it felt hydrating for me! Usually, if I apply too much nourishment around my eyes, I end up with bumps, but not with this.

  Cons

  It seems others agree that when considering the price point alone, it might be a bit hard to justify. To be honest, with so many other eye creams available on the market, I feel this Cetaphil product might lack a truly distinctive feature. However, the gentle ingredients could be seen as its strong point, right?
