Just to add this review to the one I just did on the Rememergent Microcirculation Therapy.....
I was sent this product when I ordered some actives to mix up a batch of my eye serum from skinactives.com. They've started to offer some ready made products (we've talked some about their DMAE serum in other threads...) and this is one of them. I started to use it in the mornings after the Rememergent Micro. The consistency of this stuff is really delicious - I loveeee putting it on! I liked it from the start because it sinks right in, it's very moisturizing without being oily, and it has an immediate brightening effect, which I sometimes need! But, after using it for a couple of weeks in combination with the Remergent Micro., my eyes are wider, brighter, and firmer, and not just when I put this stuff on! The brightening and firming seems to be cumulative. I'm not 100% sure which of the two products are responsible. I've tried some experiments using one and not the other. When I do, my eyes don't look quite as good, and given the price of this stuff ($17 for .5 fl oz.), I can afford to use both!
I'll also add the ingredients and skinactives' own description of it. I definitely give it 5 katee stars 
Properties: Brightening, anti-inflammatory, skin thickening.
Use: Use once or twice daily on clean skin around around the eyes and on the eye lids.
Ingredient list: Water, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Sea kelp bioferment, Sorbitol, Butylene glycol, Cetyl alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Stearyl alcohol, Sesamum indicum Seed Oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Persea gratissima (Avocado) oil, caffiene, hesperidin methyl chalcone, natural active peptides, grape seed pronathocyanidins, Sodium hyaluronate, Chrysin, Pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed oil (and) astaxanthin (and) lycopene (and) alpha-D-tocopherol (and) tocotrienols (and) lutein (and) alpha lipoic acid, Cholesteryl oleyl carbonate (and) Cholesteryl nonanoate (and) Cholesteryl chloride and BHT, Glutathione, Pal-GQPR (palmitoyl tetrapeptide), Neroli (Citrus aurantium) flower distillate, Polysorbate 20, Citric acid, Dimethicone, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Diazolidinyl urea, phenoxyethanol methylparaben, propylparaben
Additional Information:
This eye cream has everything that could help the delicate skin of the eye lids. It is rich but not oily (because too much oil could bring about milia.) It contains actives that will help de-puff, like caffeine, and others that will help maintain skin thickness, which otherwise would decrease with age (sodium hyaluronate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide, natural active peptides). There is some chrysin there too, to help your own enzymes deal with hemoglobin-derived pigmentation, and hesperidin methyl chalcone and grape seed proanthocyanidins to protect blood vessels. I added lots of anti-oxidants, including glutathione, astaxanthin and more. Although this eye cream is so full of actives, it is still nice and pleasant to use: it has the soft pink color of astaxanthin and lycopene, the radiance of the liquid crystal and the fragrance of orange flower petals (neroli distillate). |

Katee -

I'd be happy to recieve your basket... If the other person might have a problem, feel free to send it my way... 
And I'm with the others.. Another item to go on my skinactives order, when I'm able to order it all... Not to mention the order I want to put in with Carrie and Candy...
At least this will all be cheaper than the Baby... |

Ohhhhhh man - just look at how you gals all pick on me !!! ( ). The next item I rave about is DEFINITELY going to cost a minimum of $1k!!!
BTW I'm Kiki, I couldn't sleep last night and it seemed like the perfect time to order some stuff from Candy. OH MY GOD - I'm a freak for bath products and her stuff all looks soooooo delicious. I filled out an order, but unless I want to skip lunch for a week (and atm I don't need to lose any weight  ), I'm going to have to knock at least a few items off  . |

Katee, you're killing me! I've been eyeing Candy's bath items for awhile but am still gun shy because most products cause me to break out!
I guess I'll have to give them another look; besides I'm liking La Vie en Rose's idea of gift baskets for Christmas. Think it's a grand idea. |

I just bought some.
It was just so cheap I couldn't help it. And besides, this is probably the closest I will come to getting one like the diy one I want, (but am too lazy to make) |

The eye cream itself is cheap but international shipping is $15! Nearly the cost of the cream itself 
To justify the $15 shipping cost, I will need to order more products; not just the one eye cream. Any recommendations; not DIY ones as I don't think some of the stuff will be allowed through Customs. |

Hi, Ninetynine
Yes, I use the Celestite Serum and really like it. It's great in the summer as a spritz to renew makeup during the day. It was originally conceived as a post-radiation calming serum and is especially nice after a peel. The Celestite Serum (makeup primer) also has a slight tightening effect for most (not me though).
Hannah just announced today that she's added retinyl acetate and vitamin K to the eyecream for dark circles without changing the price.

FYI, in January Hannah took out the vitamin K from the Bright I cream. Some people were having allergic reactions. She put in something else which I can't remember, but you can find the info on SAS.
It's working for me in combination with the GOW anti-puff serum. |

This info has come in handy for me as I was only just looking at it.
I'm going to order it.
