Unfortunately, there is very little information on eyevive’s website that explains what each of their ingredients is, and how they work.  We hate it, frankly, when a company says their product uses a “proprietary blend” or “xyz technology” to accomplish what they claim their product can do.   This is exactly what we encountered when we dug a little deeper at eyevive’s website.

What do the CLAIM to do? Their website says that eyevive eye gel can reduce wrinkles and bags, increase firmness, less dark circles, and hydrate the skin.   Basically the same claim that every eye gel makes.  The difference is usually, in what ingredients a product uses to accomplish this.    On one page of their site, we found an ingredient list.  Without having a phd in science, we see that they have hyaluronic acid for hydration (which might lead to wrinkle loss), and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (a generic matrixyl)  and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (another peptide known to increase elasticity).  No ingredient listed is known to target puffy under-eye bags specifically.

We tried the product out, and our users had pronounced eye wrinkles and dark circles.  After 3 weeks, we felt that our skin was indeed more moist.  Similar was the feeling of using a decent drustore moisturizing cream.   It is non oily and is pretty comfortable to wear.   The wrinkles on our eye area, however, showed very little to no improvement.  Perhaps over much  more time, we could have seen some results, but we were not encouraged by the improvement in the amount of time we tested.

In regard to the elimination of dark circles, we were left flat.  The ingredient list of the product doesn’t show any ingredients that are scientifically backed and linked to the reduction of blood-caused pigmentation of the skin (dark circles), but we hoped that maybe we just didn’t KNOW about what their ingredients did.   After the 3 week test period, nothing at all had improved about our discolored dark circles.  Literally.    We were pretty disappointed, but overall, the cream was decent and felt like something we could continue to use.. just not with the hopes of removing our dark circles.   If the cream cost more like $19 or so, we could recommend it as a good moisturizer and a mild wrinkle smoother.  However, it’s in several price brackets higher, so we can’t give it the thumbs up.

Customer Service:

This is a good company who seems to care for its clients.  They offer email support, as well as phone and fax.   Additionally, there is a money back guarantee offered on their products, which can make it easier to try them.   We did NOT attempt to get a refund, however, so we don’t know for sure if they actually follow through on their “refund promise”.   Based on their history though, and the attentiveness we received over the phone, we feel that the company can be trusted.

Complaint Index:

We have received no complaints about this company.  Users of the eyevive product have expressed that they were less than pleased with the results, but that they didn’t feel ripped off, and that the company seemed to take responsibility for their products.
