 I received a sample of Line Release Under Eye Repair from Kate Somerville.
Wow. 
This has now replaced Dremu Airbrush as my favorite eye product! I will have to start setting aside some money for a bottle of Line Release.
At 32½, don't have any fine lines yet. (knock on wood) If I become really dehydrated, sometimes, I notice a tiny but of crepiness, but only if I'm inspecting under really bright lighting, and using a magnifying mirror.
I'd like to keep things looking as good as they do now, thankyouverymuch!
This product ought to be used sparingly, as it is concentrated. I put on too much once, and broke-out with a couple millia. Now that I'm tapping (size of a pinhead) into the area, everything is okay.
Bright, refreshed eyes! Worth the money! |

I've been using this since last Friday and I like it too. I agree, it's very concentrated, so only use a small amount. Infact, the first few days I was using the same amount I used with my old eyecream and I noticed my concealor seemed to be disappearing quickly from under my eyes. So I cut back and just use a little ... still get enough moisture, but my makeup is staying in place better. I have fine lines and haven't been using it long enough to tell if it will diminish them (I don't have many though), but I definitely think it's keeping everything plumped up so far. So far I'm very pleased with everything I've been using from the line.  |

does this only work for areas around the eye thats a bit dry?
what about dark circles and puffiness?
 , agree Ibianca, this aint cheap...
for those who have used it do you think that cos its so concentrated and u only need a TINY bit of it, do u possibly think that it could last a whole year? |

I had requested more information from KS for some of the products. This is information from the PDF they sent me.

I have only been using it a week myself, so I can't comment on long term benefits. I do have dark circles, so I will be curious if this will benefit them (keep in mind though, that I haven't had luck with any products really for my dark circles ... I may see some minor lightening, but that's it).
I think this container MIGHT last me about 6 months. A same sized container of my old eye cream would last me about 3 - 4 months, so because I need less of this, I'm estimating about 6 months (ish).
HTH! |

Not to scare you or anyone but isn't ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-3 the same as argirline?
I've read some bad things about the latter  |

Casper's Mum,
Does it burn slightly when you put it on...or maybe I should say, does it get a little warm?
I have been using it for a few weeks now...I haven't noticed anything spectacular. But I am like you, 33 and very few fine lines.
I plan on using the entire sample tube before making my decision.

Liz - I'm not CM, but over the past few days I've been using my sample tube of the eye cream. I've recently gone back to using Taz (every other night). I've noticed a little warming (good way of putting it) when applying it - but no other weird effects -- no puffiness, etc.
I like it, but not sure yet if I'm gonna shell out the big bucks for it. What I might do is order some more cleanser and ask them to send me more samples, THEN decide  .
HTH |

I've used it at least twice now. Yeah! I got my sample 
I can't comment on my wrinkles, I think other products that I'm using hide any fine lines if I still have them.
Anyway, I found the cream felt tight/firming and I did feel a tingle/burning sensation.
In the morning, I did not notice anything spectacular but that should be good sign since I don't have issues with my eye area. |

| I am new to this site but I have been using KS Line Release for about 6 months and it has totally reduced my puffiness and my dark circles....I used to have really bad ones and had given up on anything helping but surprise after using this for awhile it has totally helped and I cannot do without it now! |

No. Have never noticed an "warming". |

| When you say that it helps with puffiness, do you mean under the eye or the eyelid? My only concern with my eyes is puffy eyelids. |

| Can anyone advise the consistency of the cream and does it penetrate fairly quickly. I have found many thick eye creams will not absorb properly and just sit on my skin. There are a few exceptions to this so was just wondering what this one is like. |

It feels like a gel-based cream. |

I've only used a sample and did not order a full size as planned. Because recently I read that some of the ingredients are not good for your skin.
It seems that there is a debate and I want to hold off for now. |

| I got a sample of this with my last EDS order and feel it's kinda overrated especially given the high price. Gave me milia, so now I can't use it everyday. Helped with my dark circles but did absolutely nothing for my fine lines. |

| Hello everyone, I am getting a general feeling so far that this eye cream is over-rated and over-priced??? I LOVE the kate Somerville products that I am trying at the moment: exfoliating cleanser, toner and nourish moiisturiser. The Kate in a Jar is FANTASTIC! I am seriously thinking about the eye cream but it is rather exxy and I am happy so far with the PSF cranberry gel. I am on the lookout for a fabulous eye cream that will diminish the fine lines around my eyes. I want one that soaks in and not just sits there. Any suggestions? I will spend the earth only if the general consensus is magical!!!!!!! |

Since I last posted about kate somerville, I have used the eye cream. My verdict? overpriced and not magical. I prefer the phytomer eye cream and still love la prairie - although the la prairie is very pricey - used the caviar eye gel, lasted 6 months. Currently using phytomer, happy. Would NOT buy the kate somerville again. |

| I tried a whole bottle of this stuff and didn't notice a difference accept that my eye area was moisturized. I am 27 and have very small fine lines under my eyes. I was hoping it would help with those. How long was everyone else using it before they noticed a difference? I'm wondering if it takes more than 1 bottle to see a difference. |
