I have been using this for about a month and must say that I am not too enthralled with it. It seems to take a bit of time to absorb - even if I warm it on my fingertips and then really massage it in. A bit of a pain in the neck. As far as improvement in my eye area (I'm only using it underneath), I haven't noticed any yet but I want to actually use the whole jar before I quit. My sticking with it is a BIG thing!!
In all honesty I liked the Pure Skin Formulation Rejuvenating Eye Cream a lot better. It was under $50CAD compared to $160CAD for the ZO.
*edited* to add that a plus is that the ZO doesn't seem to migrate. I wish that I could use it on my upper eye area but my eyes are really sensitive. Maybe I should try it on my upper orbital bone & up to my brow. |

| RuthMarion....I completely agree with you about the ZO Olluminate Eye Repair. In addition to what you have already said I did not find it to be very moisturizing. I prefer my belevod Gernetic Synchro which isn't even an eye cream or Karen Herzog eye cream which is very moisturizing and sinks in nicely. However, I will also use up the whole jar because at CDN$160. I will not waste it. But, I will not repurchase. |

| I agree, the ZO eye cream is nothing to write home about. Too waxy and doesn't penetrate well or moisturize. Experienced no results. |

I know that it's only been a couple of weeks since my original post, but I'm just popping back to say that nothing has changed. I haven't seen improvement in fine lines, there hasn't been any tightening & it's still a pain to apply. And it definitely migrates no matter how careful I am in putting it on.
But I am still going to use up the jar (which looks like it will take about a year  ). |

| Hi RuthMarion....thanks for updating us. Although I want to use up my jar of ZO eyecream I found myself going back to Karen Herzog which was always a favourite eyecream of mine. ZO just doesn't seem to be doing much of anything and like I said in another post it's a little to drying around my eyes. Karen Herzog is much more moisturizing. I should have just stayed with this product. |

| ZO didn't work for me either..but in all fairness, I only had a deluxe sample. But, I could tell it wasn't going to be moisturizing enough. I loved the KH eye cream, but I had to stop using it. I'm dark haired and couldn't handle my eyebrows and lashes going semi-blonde. |

Yesterday I noticed a little bump under the outer corner of my eye. Milia  ? Maybe a tiny blemish (which, in my case, would be very rare)?
It got me reading the pamphlet from my Gernetic Contour des Yeux which says that it (that particular gel/cream) is useful on eyes & neck. NECK. Are the skin types similar on eye & neck? I've used eye & lip products before, but I might try the ZO as a neck cream  ?
When I feel my neck & under eye skin they DO feel more alike than do my eyes & lips. |

| I actually really like the ZO Eye Cream. I have been using it for a few months now. Perhaps it suits me because I have oily/combination skin, so I like the fact that it doesn't leave a greasy finish beneath my eyes, but I can imagine other people feel that they want something more hydrating. I would prefer to find an eye cream with a good SPF for day use though. |
