I bought this cream a while ago. I don't see much improvement in my skin and it doesn't absorb at all around my eyes. It just sits there worse than if I had applied oil to my skin. Then I go to bed and it just all goes into my pillow.

Do you any of you own this cream? Now that I have it I'd really like to make it work.

I used it at one time and hated it.

At least I'm not the only one. Anyone else?

I used it and when I purchased for a second time I noticed the same outcome you mentioned. I believe they made a formula change because before it would sink into the skin and give zero issues plus it offered results. A year ago I noticed a distinct formula change in various products I used from the MB line (my once beloved Rose Water spray being one of them). Once I run out of the two remaining products I do have I do not plan on going back to MB.

I used it last year and I loved it. I had very dry skin before that, but this took care of that. I finished my bottle sometime early this year, have not repurchased so not sure if it is reformulated but I loved it before!

Many thanks to all of you. This confirms my fears. I guess it was my first and last product of this brand!

Their Hyaluronic Eye Cream is where it's at. I'm never without it. I use Glycolic Acid, but did not care for that cream at all.

I really like the ceramide herbal eye cream. Glad I went with that one vs. the glycolic.

I don't care for it either. I agree with Rozberry, the hyaluronic eye cream is out of this world!

Angela, it really is lovely. I'd like to see it in a pump, but absolutely cannot be without it!

Nathalie, if you try the Hyaluronic Eye Cream, you need very little product. I've never had it sit on my eyes and apply it daily..including on my lids, taking care to get it into the eye. I also use CeraVe Eye Cream, which is incredibly soothing, hydrating, quick absorbing and contains both hyaluronic acid and ceramides. It is also contact - user friendly.

Here's a $2 coupon if you are interested.

I just realized you were looking for Glycolic acid...which would be exfoliating rather than Hyaluronic acid...which moisturizes.

I use Glycolic Acid products from my derm, with them being nearly identical to the Alpha Hydrox line at Ulta. Their intensive serum is surprisingly close to my derms, but contains a higher percentage based on the ingredient order. I can't personally advise it for the lids and right up under the eyes, but for the greater eye area..I'd *personally* feel comfortable with light handed usage. I like these AH products so much, that I'm going to save money and switch from my derms, aside from the eye treatment and so if you want Glycolic Products for your overall complexion , these are pretty intense.

I know that Ole Henrikson makes a glycolic acid eye cream that has excellent reviews but it is *heavily* scented if that's an issue for you.

Glycolic is tricky for use around the delicate eye area and I'd never apply it to my lids. I think Retinol is a safe and effective means of exfoliating the eye area and there are plenty of great products if you went that route.
