The product is from the purity cosmetics company's 100% pure brand.
http://www.puritycosmetics.com/EyeCream.html
Company's Description:
Anti-inflammatory, caffeine-rich green tea and coffee de-puff and reduce swelling while increasing circulation for increased blood flow to alleviate and brighten dark circles. Packed with powerful antioxidants, vitamins and nourishing nutrients. 99.75% Natural - 100% Vegan
My review:
I love this eye cream! First of all, it smells like heaven. It smells like sugary, creamy coffee, which of course is due to the coffee extract and the vanilla. I noticed a few months ago that after some pretty intense and super long hospital shifts my eyes were getting really puffy and despite my young age, I was starting to notice fine lines. If you're in a hospital, pay attention to the staff's eyes. A lot of the people working work long and stressful hours, and our eyes show it. I started using a C serum during the day, and retin-a all over my face as well as under my eyes. I tried using squalane to moisturiz my undereye area, but it was too greasy for my skin there. When I tried this amazing cream, it was perfect and made my skin feel so comfortable! It delivered intense moisture, and after 1.5 months of use I can say that my dark circles and puffiness are completely gone. My fine lines are almost gone too, which I'm sure has to do with the hydration this provides as well as my other actives. This product just makes my eyes feel so comfortable and silky. When I did have puffiness when I began using it, it started to de-puff my eyes within the first minutes of application. I have use the Juvena eye serum and the Peter Thomas Roth K serum, and for me, this provides better results in terms of dark circle and puffiness as well as hydration.
This company has such great reviews on make up alley too:

Here's a review from makeupalley that's pretty amazing:
This is the HG of all eye creams for only $19.00! I have been a fan of 100% pure for almost a year now. I love that it's All NATURAL AND VEGAN so no animals were harmed for me to be pretty. It's an anit-inflammatory, caffeine rich green tea and coffe depuffer, reduces swelling and increases ciruclation all at the same time. I have dark circles kinda natural undery my eyes and they are so puffy when I wake up. This has allieveated it! My underbags are smooth and not puffy and they are lighter than ever!
I even decided to see if my husband noticed to make sure I wasn't just imagineing it all in my head. I put some on one eye and massaged it all over. I went and sat down with him and a few minutes later he said "what's wrong with that eye, it looks swollen, or something." He pointed to the eye that didn't have the cream on it. 100% Pure Coffe Cream is aweseome. YOu have to try it. I will never leave home with out it. I keep one in my purse too.
Oh yeah, works great on crying days too, almost can't tell you've been crying, except from the tear drops on your sleeve.
(I did not write that review)
I'm going to go get some of the body scrubs and shower gels tomorrow, they sound delicious!!! Expect more reviews in the next few weeks  |

Dealated, thank you for great review. It looks like a good cream for a small price.  I wish they had samples of their products. |

| Sounds like a very nice eye cream... the whole line seems very nice and worthy of a try given the price! |

I agree, if you have a bath and bodyworks flagship store near you, you can sample the products there. I've resorted to bringing my own containers  Fortunately for my wallet, I no longer live by one  |

It doesn't at all! It sinks in within a few minutes, I apply it three times per day, not because I need to but because I love applying it  |

Thanks so much for your review! I'm so excited to try this. At 19 bucks you can't go wrong. I'm going to wait until I'm finished trying to use up the $45 Lotus eye gel from Fresh (ugh, you CAN go wrong with that amount of $$).
Do you think it would be ok for oily/problem skin???

The skin around my eyes is prone to millia, and the skin on the outside of my eyes is very oily. I left this cream at my mom's for a week so I went back to squalane and even on retin-a my pores on the outer corners seemed congested. So to answer your question, I think this would probably work well with problem/oily skin |

 Sorry! Forgot to include that in the review. Yes, to anybody else wondering, the line is sold at bath and bodyworks flagship stores. I first learned about it when this SA with amazing, perfect skin recommended the sea foam cleanser. Then I came back for more and she recommended the eye cream |

| deleated, Thanks for the review and the info. Can you apply it to both lower and upper eyelid areas? Also what makes a Bath and Body Works store a flagship store? I have one in the mall by me and a small one in a strip center close to the mall? I think I'll give them a call. |

| What do you mean by "flagship store"? Are these the Bath and Body works stores that are in many of the malls in America? I'll be visiting there this Christmas and would like to buy this eye cream. Your routine sounds a lot like mine, the OCM and Retin-A part. |

Anna,
Not all BBW are flagship stores. The flagship stores carry a lot of different brands like Dermalogica, DDF etc. If you go to BBW's website, you can use the store locator to see if there is a flagship store near where you will be visiting. |

| I went on to their website and looked for the stores in the area that I will be visiting. How do I know if it is a flagship store? They only showed each address and phone number. |

| Sorry, I was too quick to post. I see now that there is one flagship store in this area. It said, "expanded product assortment" so that must be it. |

OMG dealated, you beat me to it! I was wanting to write a rave for this product as well - it is a lovely eye cream! One of my friends in the US (she's vegan) sent me a generous sample of this and so I got to use it for a while. It smells absolutely gorgeous, moisturises very well, it's all natural and it's relatively cheap. I don't have much problems with puffiness so I cannot comment on that but I do plan to buy this eyecream when I'm in the US later this year.
My one other comment is that I think this might be slightly too much for my skin in our humid summer time but definitely good if I spend a lot of time in air-conditioned rooms (which I do). |

On Dealated's recommendation for this and another product (the face wash), I checked out Pure's website. OMG! Most of their products sound like they'd be good enough to eat! I'm really interested in the eye cream because you mentioned it helps with dark circles and works even better than the PTR Vit. K eye cream, which is SOOOO expensive!
I'm definitely going to try this product! Thank you for your review! |

Did you check out the purity website that dealated posted? Maybe they will ship outside US? |

They do ship outside the US...but it's hella expensive (25 bucks for international for 1-3 items...over that it's 50 bucks!!!!)
The best bet might be to do a CP with someone and have them send it on...prolly be cheaper. |
