The Eye Balm Intense

Great eye cream

I have been using this off and on for many, many years and keep going back to it. I do prefer the consistency over the eye concentrate but have used both with the same results. I use retin a .01 on a daily basis and this eye cream keeps my area nice and hydrated.

Do your own research before buying

This cream causes severe allergic reaction. I do not recommend this product. It took me a week to recover from its negative effects.

⚠️ warning!!

used this for a couple of days and noticed the soothing and moisturizing effects. Unfortunately, after day 3, I woke up to puffy, red, itchy under-eyes. Please use with caution!

Swollen and painful eyelids after a week

After using daily for a week my eyelids are red, swollen, and painful. If you research this product a lot of other people have had similar reactions to it and there are lots of photos. Not worth using this at all.

Not a good eye cream.

I received this as a special size sample. I was not impressed with how hard it was, even after heating it in my hands. It’s thick and even when you dab it on, it still drags your skin. I found it felt more like a heavy stiff mask/cream that just sat on my face, very uncomfortable. For that kind of money, and from that company, I’d expect better quality. I would prefer to spend my money on Guerlain Blue products, their top range, whic are money best spent. Do not recommend. There are many other products you can buy for less and be much happier to use. Cheers!

Good hydrating eyecream

First I have to say as an expensive eye cream, I did not see any immediate effect on improving things. But the good thing is this eye cream prevents things from getting worse. I use it to calm my skin whenever I pulled an all-nighter, and my eye definitely looks different if I don't use it.

Helps with certain health issues

Was skeptical, weary of the price point, but read 1 Review which especially caught me eye. Having a particular health issue which causes excessive eye puffiness, I purchased based on someone else’s comment that nothing really helped her in the past, except this one. This product most definitely has helped me, and I was spending about the same amount in other eye products. This does dry me out somewhat, having to add back additional hyaluronic acid, however the puffiness is greatly reduced.

Not Hydrating

Absorbs well, good under makeup. Not hydrating enough though. I have to apply another cream when I need hydration. Not worth the $$$!

Not worth the hipe

Not cruelty free and palm oil as an ingredient? No, thank you

Best eye cream

This is the best eye cream. I am 51 and this eye cream has firmed my upper eyelid. It has also diminished fine lines. I have uses several other eye creams and this eye cream is by far the best. Well worth the money!

At worst…

Used it for two weeks— I’m 43, so I started to care for my skin. Overall, I don’t have issues with dark bags under eyes, only a few fine wrinkles. But after two weeks or so of regular usage, my skin lost firmness and feels loose!!!! And wrinkles are more visible. Maybe, I’m too young for this product. But why would even someone with older skin want to lose elasticity and firmness.

Love, love, love…La Mer. It’s been my bff ever since I had emergency neurosurgery on my neck and was left with a big thick scar. The concentrate was brought to me by a neighbor and that thick scar was GONE in 3 Months or daily use. I just this past 2 months bought both La Mer eye creams/balms and I also see fast results with that always amazing and memorable smell
