Details & care

What it is: News flash! Eye creams without actives are doing almost nothing. That's why this + Retinol Firming Eye Cream is formulated with clinic-stabilized retinol as the star ingredient along with other potent actives like hyaluronic acid.

Who it's for: Ideal for normal, dry, combination and oily skin types.

What it does: The Eye Cream helps to visibly firm, brighten and hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes, while the metal applicator helps with depuffing. There’s nothing better. it's gentle enough for daily and daytime use.

Research results:
In an independent clinical study after just one use around the eye:
- 100% showed improvement in the appearance of coarse wrinkles/crow's feet, fine lines and skin moisturization.
- 91% showed improvement in the appearance of skin elasticity.
After just four weeks:
- 100% showed improvement in the appearance of coarse wrinkles/crow's feet and moisturization.
- 97% showed improvement in the appearance of fine lines/crow's feet.
- 94% showed improvement in the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity.

How to use: Use the Eye Cream daily at morning and evening. Gently pat small amount around the eye area. Gold applicator tip will 'bend' to help massage product into the delicate eye area. Can also be used on upper brow area.

Multiple purchases because it works

This is the ONLY eye cream I have used that gets rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Obviously it is because of the retinol. It takes about 6 weeks to see results with retinol, so all the people who said they used it and they didn't see results the next day - this is why. This cream is gentle enough for me to use night and day on my lower and upper eyelids. The silicone gives it a little slip so you don't end up tugging at your delicate eye skin to apply it. I put about a grain of rice size bit around each eye in the morning and again at night. Then I use a moisturizer on top to moisturize. This product is not intended to be a moisturizer. Then I apply my sunscreen all over my face and let those absorb for about 15 minutes before going in with my makeup. Fabulous!

Nope

All my skincare is from Kate Somerville's line. I tried this retinol under the eye serum because the eye line release was not giving me enough moisture, I thought this would do the trick. I do not have sensitive skin, allergies or have never had a reaction to anything. This product, after using it 4 times, caused tiny red bumps around my eyes. I have no idea what caused this because I do use the retinol treatment moisturizer every other night by Kate all over my face. No sure what else is in it, but have to take a pass on this product.

Dimethicone

I was given a sample of this Kate S Retinol eye cream. After trying the sample for three days and had no adverse reaction, today I purchased the eye cream. Noticed when using it in the full-size, the feel was "different" and take a look at the ingredients and dimethicone is number two. No wonder there is a weird feel to the eye cream. Normally, I wouldn't do any product with dimethicone listed as number two (maybe number six or seven) but around the eye area the pores aren't as large to get clogged with the silicone. Will update in a month.

Kate Retinol Eye Cream: Synthetic

This has a silicone, synthetic feel, likely dimethicone, as it slips on. Doesn’t quite absorb into my skin like a cream. Have seen some red bumps in eye zone after using a sample, unusual for me, could be pore clogging from this.

Definitely the best eye cream on the market!

I absolutely love this eye cream. As a contact wearer, I have to be extra careful with eye cream since most brands (even the ones that cost over $400; no mention names) irritate my eyes. This product not only works on minimizing the fine lines, but it also doesn’t irritate my eyes. I use it twice a day and after about a week I noticed a difference, especially on the under eye area. Highly recommended!

This. Works.

66 year-old woman here. I don't write many reviews, but in this case, I have to. This product has, in a couple of weeks, smoothed out the area around my eyes in an amazing way. It's absolutely great - and I don't know why I didn't start using it years ago. Highly recommend!

Not for me!!!!

I used this for about five days before returning it to the store. I’m 45 and was just looking for a regimen so this was one of the items I purchased. Burned so bad after a few days use. I didn’t notice any improvement and I was very uncomfortable around my eyes. I wanted to freeze spoons and then place them on my eyes for relief. Luckily, after returning this product the pain subsided in a few days. This was definitely not for me.

Underrated

I have really enjoyed this eye cream! I have been using it for over a month now and can see results. I have a small age spot that showed up around the corner of my eye and it has faded it significantly. I also am starting to get some shadowing on the outer parts of my eyelids from getting older, skin starting to sag (I'm 38); it has been the only eye cream so far to lighten and lift that. I've tried quite a few eye creams lately and I think this is a great eye cream for anti-aging, the best one I have used so far!

Wow! A difference in 24 hrs

The other day I was going straightening up one of my bathroom drawers and there was a partial tube of this hyaluronic acid eye treatment. I dabbed a bit on the underneath of my eye, and didn't think much of it until the next day when I went to put on eye cream. I was just blown away by an immediate texture improvement and more moisturewithout being greasy . I've had this little bump underneath my eye I've been trying to get rid of four months. Lo and behold, it's already flattened and improved on 24 hours! I have been using Kate Somerville products for ages. I've used other brands along the way though, I always have 1 or 2 of her products in my rotation. So guess what? I am ordering a brand new tube of it. Kate. Somerville never lets me down.

Favourite eye-cream for anti-aging

This is my favourite retinol eye cream. The results are great and the product is really high quality. The applicator is a nice touch too. Just be careful, sometimes too much product can come out at once and it is a pity to waste such an expensive product. Other than that, I highly recommend it

Great eye cream

This is great eye cream. It feels light and absorbs quickly. I didn't have any irritation from the retinol, but I have to say I apply SPF religiously, even on very grey days. Do not forget the SPF, this is really important. I have noticed my wrinkles smoothing over and the area looks fresh and plump. I thoroughly recommend it.

Nice eye cream

I have been using the Kate Somerville retinol and vit c serum and moisturiser and I was looking for a new eye cream so I thought I would give this a go. this is a lovely eye cream, you dont need to apply alot and it sinks into the eye area lovely. It did not irritate my eye area and my eyes do look firmer. I would recommend this product.
