   So far so good! I use roughly 1 drop of this gel for each eye area, pat in with my finger until it’s roughly absorbed and then follow with the Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Lift Cream and then sun protection which is currently Coola SPF30. On its own (which I trialed for a few days prior to using both) it had an ‘awakening’ effect, making my eye area look more rested and like I’d had a good nights sleep (if only!). Using both together I get an even better effect – much more hydration plus the cream seems to sink in better. I don’t usually suffer from bags under my eyes so cannot comment on how it works for them, but as an eye treatment this is pretty good stuff and as a bonus whatever eye makeup I apply after glides on smoother as though I’ve just used a primer. May just have to save up and purchase the full size once this runs out…

   Je n’utilise pas cette essence seule. J’aime le superposer avec leur crème lifting des yeux. Donc, l’effet que j’obtiens vient d’eux deux je crois.
   C’est à ce moment que vous voulez dire qu’un peu va un long chemin. Une bouteille durera au moins un an avec une utilisation deux fois par jour.
   Le produit est presque léger, vous ne le sentez pas sur la peau quelques secondes après l’application. Il ne laisse pas de viscosité.
   Je l’utilise depuis quelques années. Et je remarque de plus en plus la différence. Ma peau est plus belle . J’ai perdu quelques lignes fines dans les coins de mes yeux, le reste a l’air bien plus petit. Moins profond si vous pouvez l’appeler de cette façon. Le maquillage ne comble pas les rides comme avant.
   Je continue à le recommander

   Not bad… have used it for a few years actually. But now using Chanel Le Lift Eye Concentrate which costs less than half and delivers even better results!!!!!

   I love this eye serum. I suffer from puffy under eyes. This is one of the first products I noticed an actual difference with. I used it every day before my eye cream. I would use one drop and apply it to my under eye and lids. Within a few weeks of using this, my puffiness looked less noticeable. After about two months I noticed my under eye and lids looked tighter and more rejuvenated. It has really taken away the fatigue appearance around my eyes. I have yet to find a better eye serum of eye cream, and I have tried tons.

   The packaging for this is awful. The dropper is awkward to use and does not reach the bottom of the bottle. It is very difficult to get the last 25 percent of the serum out. I have even wrote to the company to complain. I love the product so much I wish they would redesign the packaging, fingers crossed.

   I would like to state that I only review a product after I have finished the entire full size. If I was not able to finish the product due to irritation, I will say so in my review.

   Love it! Goes on so smoothly and gives an instant boost to the eyes! I use it around the eyes, under my eyecream and I am truly excited about it. The price is heavy, but you only need a tiny drup for both eyes. So it takes a while to finish the bottle.

   Last year I had a very bad reaction to the castor oil I was using to regrow my sparse eyebrows and one of the consequences was that even after healing the redness and irritation, my eyelids started to droop and look dry. The regular creams I was using before just weren`t cutting it anymore. When I`ve read that this product lifts and firms the eyelid, I`ve decided to give it a try. Two months into it, and I can definitely see a major improvement: my eyes look like they did before the castor oil disaster, I can go back to wearing my favorite eyeshadows, even the glittery ones. It`s very expensive, but it works very well and a little goes a very long way, as you don`t need too much to do your whole eye. The only drawback, is that it`s not very moisturizing, and you need to put a cream on top of it. For me, this is worth the price because it healed my problem, and I would repurchase.

   I have started my routine with caviar line at the same time, so I can’t tell whether it is the caviar eye cream or the gel or them together have worked.
   I would say this is the best eye combination I’ve used (gel + cream). The fine lines caused by dryness and one single wrinkle under my right eye have completely gone after two month use. Except the lines, I can also feel a complete lifting effect around my eyes, but because I also use Caviar luxe cream, which indeed gives me a total lifting effect on my face, so I can’t tell which one actually did the job.

   I have used eye cream from Shiseido and Estee Lauder before, and other brands like Perricone, Darphin, or Strivectin etc, nothing can beat La Prairie Caviar. Among all of the eye cream, only Shiseido could kind of moisturise the skin around eye a bit, the rest did nothing which a normal facial cream could not do.

   They are not cheap, but worth every penny. plus the cream is in 20ml jar, and after two months am and pm daily use, there is still half left; so does the eye gel. Will definitely purchase again.

   I’m quite natural on this product. ive finished using the whole bottle and clearly it did not get rid of eye bags, it moistures quite well but that’s all it does. I don’t think it’s worth the price

   I love everything about this product apart from the price tag!
   I use it before my eye cream in the mornings, and it makes an instant difference! My under eye area is instantly firmed, soothed and fine lines disappear in seconds!
   My under eye area is dry this is why I use a cream on top of this product as it does not provide enough hydration for my dry under-eye skin!

   Another thing I love about this product is that it’s in a little bottle instead of a jar which I don’t find hygienic at all.

   Love , love , love!

    This does not work on my eyelid skin at all; it even worsens my eyelids!!! It strengthens my bluish dark circles and it produces puffiness at the inner corner of my tear through. I don’t see any positive effects on my scarce wrinkles either. Previously, I was using Dior Capture Totale Eyes Essential eye zone boosting super serum, which costs half the price and worked much better, so I’m going back to Dior again. Despite I was happy using this Dior eye serum, Shiseido anti-dark circles eye cream and La Prairie Cellular Radiance Eye cream all together, I thought I should pair this latter cream with La Prairie serum and could just disregard the Dior and the Shiseido products… what a mistake… My eyelids worsened considerably with this change; the combination of La Prairie serum with La Prairie Cellular Radiance Eye Cream was no efficient at all: too expensive and no results, better said, worse results.

    I won’t ever repurchase this product; I’ll use instead the Dior Capture Totale Eyes Essential eye zone boosting super serum, which immediately lightens my dark circles and costs 50% less. I don’t know why; I’m a skin care and cosmeceuticals junkie and I adore La Prairie design and always thought it was the best brand in the market, but it appears I have no luck with La Prairie… and I have no conflicts of interests!
