Copy/paste from another thread:
I have used the eye cream for two nights. It came in a similar container as the acne 'gel', but they didn't fill it up all the way. There's a pea sized glob in the middle... anyways... It feels firm, so I just glided my finger across it to get the smallest amount. It's creamy, and sormuimui's right it doesn't sink in all that well. After a hour or two, not sure, I felt it and it did eventually sink in. (I found PSF's Super Hydrating eye treatment never sunk in.) I couldn't imagine putting concealer on it right after application, it would all melt off. I will keep trying it over my PSF phyto-lift cranberry eye gel until I run out to see if it helps with my circles.
Well, I finished the sample two days ago. I never had any problems with it sinking in after awhile. My skin felt great... I think I'm missing it.
Anyways, I tried a sample of Decleor - Expérience de L'Age Triple Action Eye and Lip Creme the night I ran out and it gave me clogged pores under my left eye near the corner. So, I don't think that's for me. I have a sample of Caudalie Contour Cream Eyes and Lips I will try tonight to compare it to.
These are the only I have to compare to. I definately am missing this treatment. I have decided. I'd buy it, and use it.

| I love this company!!! Thank you so much whoever first made this post about the acne treatment gel! I bought the gel based on the rave reviews here and all I can say is wow! No redness or irritation and it keeps me clear even during that time of the month! When I bought the gel I also got some soap samples and the lotion, eye cream, and detox bath salts. All were amazing. I can honestly say these products are the best I've ever used. I know the prices look expensive there but for starters they're the best I've ever used and they last a very long time. $10 for a huge bar of soap isn't that bad especially when it lasts you a few months and the acne gel will probably last me months. My sample of under eye cream lasted a week and it was the smallest drop ever. A full half OZ should probably last me 4 months. Thanks again to the person who made this first post. I'm going ot order the bath bomb from them today and I'll let you all know what I think, and i'll get more samples too, yay! |

Ohh I am interested! I am wondering, is this eye cream suitable for mid-20s? My skin is dehyrated (but blemish prone) and I am trying to find something to combat this. I do get milias 
To Justin - do you ship samples overseas and if so would you mind PMing me the shipping cost? Could you recommend a face cream as well from you store? |

| I got the three samples for 2.00 and I didn't try them cos' I saw the toner was not that clear, meaning it does have some of the white flakes. So, I decide not to use all the products all together. Are they really that good? I don't like the packaging, they have been sitting in my rack for about 2 months, I just felt because of the packaging, the products might get contaminated. Am I being just too careful? |

I LOVE BBS...I have their acne gel and a sample of their acne facial bar. I'm normally not a fan of bar cleansers but this one helped clear up a terrible breakout I got when I was back in MI (where my skin always gets angry and confused!).
I plan on ordering (once my credit card has recovered from the holidays) some bath salts and the facial bar to keep on hand when my breakouts get really bad. I also want to try their Dead Sea Facial Scrub!

cuppre,
I don't have any lines or dehydration around my eyes. I'm mostly just using as a preventative measure (I wear contacts), and hopefully my circles will go away.
I used the whole sample up with no clogged pores! I can't say this about Decleor, but everything is different for everyone. You should try it. I'm sure you'll love it. |

Thank you poofybabypenguin and zumlya for your reviews on the eyecream. Sounds like what I am looking for.
God, just two more weeks and I will have money to buy! The reviews sound fab and now I am going to add the acne bar too. |

BBS eye cream is definitely very good! I have been using it for the last few weeks or so and found that it really helped with hydration and softening of lines. Before I started using it I was having trouble with a dry, flakey patch on my left eye lid that wasn't responding to anything. Since using this eye cream, it hasn't returned. I was afraid it was going to be too heavy and cause milia (which I get when I use a heavy eye cream) but it hasn't! Yay! Once again with all BBS products, I love the natural ingredients!!
I have a question for you fellow BBS eye cream users:
Do you find it difficult to spread it onto the tender eye area? I have found that it's hard not to stretch my skin when I am applying it and am having difficulty when trying to pat it into my skin. I will take out a little bit and warm it up in the palm of my hand (which makes it more fluid) and then use my ring finger to apply it. What is everyone else doing? |

I don't have that problem. The BBS Intensive Undereye Treatment sample I got is pretty soft, not hard, and it spreads easily. I find that it's better if I just use it at night as it feels a little greasy, but it is very hydrating. I love the stuff. |

Amnis, what I do is I barely touch my ring finger to the cream, and then I gently dab it onto my eye area. It also helps if you get your eye area moist first using something like Caudalie Grape Water or Zenbiotic's Oxytoner. HTH! |

OK, it's official... I'm a moron. Getting my eye area more moist first would be very logical but did it occur to me to do this? You guessed, it: no. I apply the eye cream as the last step every night, which is after my Zenbiotic Oxytoner, Oxy Replenish, Phyto Moisture, serums and Winter Moisture, but my skin wasn't remaining moist enough from the ZB sprays for my eye cream to spread well enough on my skin. Well, spraying my eye area with either the Oxytoner or the Phyto remoistened my skin and did the trick. Bellissima!
(Liz, Thanks for waking me up!  ) |

| thanks justin - just out of curiosity though, what is the ph of your products? esp. the eye cream and the acne serum . . . |
|
|

Mon Feb 26, 2007 3:19 pm |
| The exact ph can vary but the eye cream and acne treatment gel are both fairly neutral. Honestly I recommend the use of litmus paper to be 100% sure of ANY product's PH. PH is tough to regulate without chemicals (we do not use chemicals) |

I tested the PH pf my BBS products, and they all ended up being either slightly acidic or close to neutral. HTH! |

| I just got a sample of the under eye cream and I tried using it last night. I'm prone to milia (didn't even know what that was called before EDS, or that anyone could avoid them!) so I'm hoping this helps. The sample is small but you don't need much so I'm going to try using it every night for a few weeks to see. I like that it has a lot of shea butter, but I'm mildly freaked out about the caffeine in it - I know many creams make use of this but I've never been too sure about it. Justin, if you get the chance could you let us know what the purpose of that is? Also, the next morning after I put this on, my eye area seemed very puffy/inflated when I first woke up. I can't tell if this was from sleep or the cream! But it didn't look bad by the time I got going, washed my face, and put on my makeup. I think it was just inflated from being super-hydrated instead of parched! |

| You know how when you get a bruise rubbing it makes it go away faster? This is because you are increasing blood flow to the area. Bruises occur when blood vessels burst. You get dark circles / and or puffiness from poor circulation under the eyes or from broken blood vessels under the eyes. Caffeine helps stimulate the skin underneath the eyes. P.S. Here's a free tip - you should massage the area under your eyes 3 times a day if you are prone to dark circles or puffiness, also in the shower have warm (not burning) water go directly on the skin under your eyes. This will open your pores, soften the skin and increase bloodflow - all helping to reduce puffiness and dark circles! |
