I do add a moisturizer every couple of days.

Hey! I don't use an additional eye moisturizer with this, it's so soothing and creamy alone. Your are going to LOVE it if you haven't already purchased it.

I would say, it's good enough on it's own, I don't use any other treatment products on my eye area.

I feel it's hydrating enough. And I have dry skin.

I personally have a basic routine where I just cleanse, tone, apply the Eye Hope Cream, and then a night time moisturizer or day time moisturizer with SPF all over my face. I try not to put too much stuff on my face and my eye area because you shouldn't have to. I find that the eye cream is sufficient enough in hydrating and strengthening the skin around the eyes. The routine works for me so good luck to you on finding something that suits you!

I use it around my entire eye area. It works great.

I do and it feels great!

I don't think you would need it on the inner corner of your eye, it's not a concealer or brightener. I do apply it on the entire outer and under eye area though. If you want a good product for inner eye, try YSL touche eclat.

Yes and yes, you can put it all around the eye if needed.

I do and have not had a problem.

I did get much stinging. I think it is much lighter texture than Kinerase.

I do notice a tingling when I apply this, so if you're looking for something non-stinging, I'd avoid this product.

Don't know about Kinerase, but this doesn't sting, a little goes a long way ( I only need 1/2 a squirt to do both eyes!), and I haven't noticed it balling up. Just soaks in and does what it's supposed to do. Great product in my opinion.

Have not tried Kinerase. But I can tell you the tiny wrinkles seem less and it does not ball up under my make-up.

I have only tried eye hope, but had such immprovement I just dont want to try anything else now. Its worth the price for me. If you have tried both and they both work but one cost less, go with the best price.

I was wondering the same thing

Per the philosphy website, the ingredients are markedly different. Eye Hope has glucosyl hesperidin, which really does get rid of dark circles. Ingredients for each listed below are from philosophy's website.

Eye Hope ingredients

No difference. Same size, results and ingrediants. The eye hope is newer and in a more convient pump dispenser

I haven't used those but I got a sample of this and m on. Y third day using it and my dark curves are a lot lighter

I prefer the iclandic relief eye cream. It is cooling and refreshing and leaves my eye area feeling great. And I noticed after just 2 weeks that my under-eyes were brighter.

The eye hope did seem to brighten my under-eye area, but if you have sensitive skin or eyes I wouldn't recommend it. It seems to tingle and even sting my eyes. I had to return it and got the icelandic one instead. I see very similar results, without any of the irritation.

NO comparison. Skyn Iceland is great, but it was comparable to Clinique All About Eyes (or whatever it's called).. both were so-so. I didn't see the brightening effect Eye Hope had, and those two didn't get rid of puffiness nearly as effectively.. or quickly!!

Hope seems to be gentler, the Skyn cream seems to produce an odd warming sensation on my (very sensitive) skin that I don't like much. Hope is also much richer, so if you have oily or acne-prone skin, you're better off with Skyn. Both seemed to make undereye makeup clump, so bear in mind that with either one, you should apply them well before attempting to put on makeup. Neither seemed to have a dramatic impact on dark circles or puffiness.

My directions said to apply Eye Hope, then apply moisturizer 3-5 minutes after. Works wonderful!

I believe the directions state to use an eye cream OVER this product. I also had the same question as the packaging & name seem misleading. I use another eye cream over it since I like the results I am getting with this product.

Hi! I always use moisturizer over the cream. Moisturizer is my last step and the whole face/neck gets it :)

I think that if you feel heat or stinging like I did when using this product, the product most likely is harmful to the skin. After using this product a couple of times I found it harmed my skin creating more dryness and wrinkles under my eyes. Try a more gentle and natural eye cream like burt's bees naturally ageless line smoothing eye cream or burt's bees radiance eye cream.

I do not get that reaction when I apply this product. There could be something in the product that is stronger as the directions state NOT to use on your delicate eye lids.

I've used this product once and I remember it leaving a hot sensation around my eyes as well. I prefer Philosophy's other eye cream, Hope In A Tube, to this one... but I like a thicker feeling eye cream because I don't like the skin in that area to get dry and tight feeling.

i agree with kle2mom... this product is still worth that feeling, though it doesn't "burn" or "sting"... rather to me, it leaves a warming sensation.

Per the precautions page under this product:
-For external use only.
-Use only as directed.
-Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
-Avoid direct contact with eye and eyelid.
-Keep out of reach of children.

When my Philosophy girl at Nordstrom gave me a (HUGE!) sample of this eye cream, she specifically told me to put it on my lids as well. Weird that the packaging says not to... It may be because it contains Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) which can cause irritation, sensitivity and/or excessive dryness, especially when used daily on delicate skin (i.e. eye lids!!) ;)
I think it depends on your skin and how sensitive you are to Vitamin A. Have you used other products containing Retinol? What were the results? My advice is to try it on your lids once a day for a week. If you don't experience any sensitivity or dryness, increase to 2X a day and go from there. But definitely stop using it on your lids if you notice any irritation.

yes, i have used this product on my eyelids, and it blends and hydrates very well.

i have the same problem with my eyelids drooping & also fine little lines from way too much sun when i was younger ( i actually had sunburn on my eyelids). i have finally found a product (after much searching!!) that has really worked at smoothing out the fine lines & toning & tightening the upper eyelids (it's made just for the upper lid only). it's called dr. denese upper eyelid cream (as far as i know it's the only cream that i found just for the upper lids). i found it on qvc.com. i also love b.e. eyelid primer (bought at sephora) to smooth out & keep my shadow on for hours & hours ( again the only one that works for me. i hope this helps. now, if only i can find something for undereye puffiness. good luck.

Worth a try - so far it's working great for me. Haven't used it long enough to see if it is effective on droopy lids, though. I sure hope so!
