I went to their "Contact Us" page.
It was on there.  |

Thanks for the review. Sounds really exciting.
Have others compared it to the PTR Power K? This is what I am currently using and it's ok but nothing to write home about still (about 2 months). Mind you, PTR seems to work better than the eyebright for me. But all this is really shades of back (all grey cats appear black in the dark or something to that effect)! |

Thanks for this great review--- I'm really looking forward to trying this product!
FYI ladies, I was looking around online for a good place to buy this, and I found a place called chocolatelotus.com. If you register for their newsletter you get fun freebies, and they have VERY reasonable shipping costs to Canada. |

| Hi I've been lurking awhile but wanted to post about my experience with this eye cream. I read the earlier posts and bought this off ChocolateLotus on Ebay, the price was too hard to resist However, I think those with sensitive eyes have got to be careful with this one. Some of the cream accidentally got into my eye cos I rubbed it in the morning, and that eye stung, burned and turned bloodshot for the rest of the day. Definitely won't use anymore. |

| Can someone please tell me if this will cause milia? My undereyes are super prone to get them thus I have not used an eyecream for years (only use eye gels, right now Cellcosmet). However all these reviews are making me feel like this will get rid of my puffiness (which is probably wishful thinking since it's hereditary). But anyways, once I get milia it never goes away, not even with my Active Serum, the chicken skin is still under my eyes although it has gotten better years after from using eye gels. So please tell me whether this will or may be likely to cause milia in my case (even if it didn't for you it might for me)! |

Hi sormuimui, my eyes are super milia prone, and this hasn't caused any milia after using it for a couple of months. I have had that "chicken skin" like texture under my eyes, below the corners on each side by my nose. I don't believe that those are caused by congestion like normal milia, and I find that by using hydarting products like tis one, it goes away with regular use. |

Faithtruth, this happened to me the first time I tried it, and then I realized that I was using to much too close to my lower lash line. This should really only go near the "bag" part, since it is amazing at reducing them. Sorry about your experience with the product though, I feel a bit guilty now  |

would it be shipped outside north america?  |

| Yes, but it ain't cheap. puritycosmetics.com charges 25 dollars for 1-3 items, 50 for more than 3. Not exactly sure how much chocolatelotus.com charges for 1 item, but I inquired after the shipping cost for 4 items and that was 30 dollars. I think they just charge you the actual cost, but they only send insured packages which costs more. |

| felinehhy, if you want the eye cream without paying the inflated shipping charges I'd be happy to do a CP for you. I'm in the post office all the time (esp this time of year) so it would be no trouble for me to mail it on to you. |

| I use their Lime Shea Body Butter. It smells great and works sooooo well. I'm going to be ordering this eyecream...I also love the idea of their fruit colored stains....for cheeks and lips. I've smelled their body products and they are all really nice! |

dealated,
Now you have me very interested. I am not sure if I have undereye milia or this so-called "chicken skin." I don't know how to post a picture of my own undereye area to get your opinion. Can anyone else post a picture of chicken skin or a very detailed description or maybe tell me how to post a picture?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

How exactly would one extract fruit pigments to use as cosmetics? 
While I“m very happy with using rosehip oil under my eyes, I can“t help being very intrigued by this eye cream. Hmph. |

I just received my package of this today. It definitely seemed to help with the puffiness, almost instantly.
The only negative comment I have is that while it smells fantastic right in the tub, it's a little strong for me when it's sitting next to my nose all day! Still definitely worth it for me. |

Yikes, those really don't look like what I had. I guess mine weren't those because I didn't have laser surgery to remove. Thanks for the links. |
