GREAT PRODUCT
I really like this eye cream. It's one of the few products that I have found that I can apply on my upper eyelids without irritation. It works well both above and under my eyes, and does have a brightening effect on my dark circles

A nice eye cream
First time trying this cream. It has a very nice texture and a little goes a long way. It absorbs well into the skin and is not greasy, however I do not see any brightening effects

My new morning glow!
Great for tired-looking eyes! SkinMedica Instant Bright Eye Cream feels lightweight and hydrating and absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy. My under-eye area looks smoother, brighter, and more refreshed after using it. It layers well under makeup, and a small amount goes a long way. A great everyday eye cream!

Like it but expensive at .5 ounce
I really like this cream for day use on my sensitive eyes. However, it's only a half ounce and you can't see when it's going to run out. I'm going to look for something with a different dispenser and price point

Nothing special
I received a free sample and liked it so I bought the full size. I have been using it for a few months, and don't see any improvement, my dark circles haven't diminished. It doesn't have a smell and is moisturizing enough, that's about it

Eye cream
This product really works and great for the eyes
Customer from Virginia, Age 50-59Verified Purchase
Pretty good
I don't think I've used it long enough to see any dramatic effects but it goes on smoothly and hydrates well. If it reduces puffiness even a small amount I'll be happy. A plus is it can be applied to upper lids. I've been using a less expensive eye cream and I can definitely tell this is much higher quality

I love SkinMedica Instant Brighten Eye Cream!
SkinMedica makes wonderful products & never disappoints me. All my products are on auto replenish so I never run out

See a difference
This is my second time purchasing and I do feel my eyes look brighter and more hydrated when using this. I like that it is lightweight and didn't cause any milia for me. The pump bottle is also really great, I'm able to dispense just the right amount of product

Impressed
Really like this eye cream. It definitely makes a noticeable difference. Blends in easily though very moisturizing. Highly recommended

Best
By far the best eye cream I have ever used! Does it all

SkinMedica Instant Bright Eye Cream
I like this eye cream because it is bright my eye area, but not greasy at all. I will buy again for sure
Customer from GeorgiaVerified Purchase
The best!
I am obsessed with this stuff. It instantly reduces dark circles and puffiness. I have hereditary thin skin under my eyes, which causes major dark circles, and I haven't found any other eye cream that helps like this one. It dries beautifully and doesn't cause any pilling when I use primer, under eye concealer, and setting powder on top. Also, I like that it can be used on my eyelids. It's expensive, so I don't use it everyday, but it's sooooo good. If you're debating, just try it. You won't be disappointed. It makes a fantastic gift, too!
Customer from CaliforniaVerified Purchase
LOVE it!
This eye cream does exactly what it says — brightens, tightens and lessens lines. My eyes are quite sensitive to most eye creams, but I have no issues with sensitivity with this one. I will definitely be repurchasing!
KristineMarie from TexasVerified Purchase
It does the job it promised to do!
I keep going back to this instant bright eye cream. I've tried other brands, and this one is the best. I've been using this for years!
Claud from Vermont, Age 40-49Verified Purchase
Rich but not too heavy
I appreciate this eye cream because I can use it during the day ab my eye makeup doesn't run down my eyes. At my age, I'm not sure anything exists that will give me the results I would love to see lol
TFoley from Texas, Age 50-59Verified Purchase
Brightening
A little goes a long way and I have noticed a brightening effect under my eyes since starting using this product 1 month ago
Customer from Connecticut, Age 40-49Verified Purchase
Too soon to tell
I do like the texture and feel of this eye cream, and it seems to be okay under makeup. Need to see if it actually does anything. Does not bother my sensitive eyes
KirstenL from Maryland, Age 50-59Verified Purchase
Different formula?
I've used this in the past with good results – however this one is pilling terribly. I love skinmedica but this one will not be repurchased – the debate of whether we really need a separate eye cream continues – especially when the product performs poorly. This was an expensive miss
BMY from California, Age 50-59Verified Purchase
Not for sensitive skin
Not for sensitive skin. Product is too harsh and burns
PL3 from IllinoisVerified Purchase
Very disappointing
This was recommended to me by my esthetician and honestly there's not much I like about it. I don't feel that it's helped with dark circles, the consistency is sticky and not moisturizing and it pills up under my eyes. Will not purchase again
DanaCVerified Purchase
Did not see a difference
I use all SkinMedica skincare products. I feel they are worth the price. Whenever I try to switch my skin doesn't look as good. Saying that, I do not see much of a difference when using Instant Bright. I was disappointed; I was hoping it would diminish my dark under-eye circles. It makes a very small difference, but not enough for me to continue to buy this product at this price
