Georgette KlingerAnti Aging Marula Eye Cream w/ Caffeine & Hyaluronic Acid - for Puffiness, Dark Circles, Wrinkles

I believe this is counterfeit. It does not smell like the product, the packaging is off (blurred colors, will add pics later), and it didn't work/made my eyes water. Don't buy this.

Huge Klinger fan. And this eye cream is the best ever.

Marula Eye Cream is very soothing for the eyes, just wish there was more of it.

This is a very nice eye cream. It comes in a small bottle with a pump. I love that it comes in a bottle with a pump. So many eye creams come in little jars, so I always love it when I get one that comes in a jar with a pump! It is made in the USA. It is fragrance free, paraben free, cruelty free, and dye free. It has a nice creamy consistency. A little goes a long way, which is good since you only get 0.5 oz for such a high price tag. It feels very moisturizing under my dry eyes. It glides onto the skin easily, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any residue or stickiness at all. It works well when I apply it at night, I wake up with my under eyes feeling moisturized. It also works great in the morning. The caffeine helps reduce the puffiness in my eyes a little. The product works well under my makeup. I really enjoy it.It has great ingredients in it - Marula oil, hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and aloe Vera.Now, another reviewer mentioned that the heavily touted ingredients aren’t the primary ingredients. That there’s nothing of any value in the first 5 ingredients other than caffeine, and the key skincare performers (hyaluronic acid, aloe Vera, and marula oil) are not primary ingredients. Everything below 5 doesn’t matter.I will agree with the reviewer with the fact that the brand is making claims about ingredients - like this is called “Marula Eye Cream,” which would make me think marula oil would be one of the first couple ingredients. So, to find that as the 8th ingredient was a little surprising. BUT, I do NOT agree that everything below 5 doesn’t matter...Here’s the thing...Brands are required to print ingredients in the order of highest to lowest concentration, and once the list gets to ingredients that are included at a concentration of 1% or less, they don’t have to be in order.Some people go by something called the “First Five Rule,” which claims that since the first 5 ingredients listed on a label have the highest percentages, they will be what determines the true performance of a product. So, any ingredients listed after the first 5 won’t have a meaningful effect on the skin since they’re at too low of a concentration to perform. Obviously, the other reviewer believes in this rule. And, there’s nothing wrong with that. But, this is not a hard and fast rule, there are exceptions. Ingredients are listed in order of highest to lowest concentration, BUT with skincare formulas it can be hard to tell how well an ingredient will perform based on where it falls on the ingredient list.The percentage at which an ingredient is used in a formula depends on many factors. So, it’s important NOT to base decisions on believing that more is always better. You shouldn’t rule out a product just because it seems to have a low percentage of active ingredients. Judging a skincare product only on the first 5 ingredients isn’t very accurate in evaluating the product’s content and performance.Usually, the first ingredient in skincare products is water or aloe. These often make up 70-95% of the product, which is acceptable. After that, the next 4 ingredients are usually included at concentrations anywhere between 3% and 5%. However, after the first 5 ingredients, you can still find many performance-based active ingredients, along with thickeners, preservatives, fillers, and everything else that makes up a product. Long story short - An ingredient doesn’t have to be one of the first 5 to positively impact your skin. But, that doesn’t mean the First Five Rule never applies, but there are a lot of exceptions to this rule. Some ingredients that can be at a concentration less than 1% but still be effective include - antioxidants, vitamin C, glycerin, collagen-boosting peptides, niacinamide, exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), plant stem cells, synthetic perfumes, and preservatives.If you think about it, it makes complete sense that there’s ingredients that can be in low concentrations but still be primary ingredients in the product and make a difference. For example, synthetic perfumes. Most of the time synthetic perfumes are included in a concentration of less than 1%, which puts them pretty low on the ingredient list - usually one of the last few ingredients you see is “fragrance” or “parfum.” But, we all know that synthetic perfumes/fragrances are well known for causing skin sensitivity, causing allergic reactions, drying out skin, etc. This just goes to show that an ingredient doesn’t have to be high on the list to have an effect. So, don’t just go ruling out things as ineffective just because they aren’t one of the first 5 ingredients.Personally, I keep the “First Five Rule” in mind when looking at ingredients, BUT, I also look past the first 5 to see if there’s ingredients included that can be effective at lower concentrations.

I own a number of skincare items from this brand and have enjoyed each one, but the heavily touted ingredients in this cream aren't even primary ingredients. It means alot to me that Georgette Klinger products have never aggravated my allergies or sensitive skin, and that goes a long way in my loyalty to the skincare line. However, I have to say it like it is for this eye cream.I love the cream for what it does, but not for what it claims to do and can't deliver. There's nothing of any value in the first 5 ingredients other than CAFFEINE. Caffeine constricts blood vessels which helps with inflammation and puffiness. That's a good thing, but only a mildly noticeable change. As for key skincare performers like Hyaluronic Acid #6, Aloe Vera #7, and the ever amazing Marula Oil #8 -- NONE OF THEM ARE PRIMARY INGREDIENTS and I had to deduct a star for that fact. Everything below #5 doesn't matter.So, although I had no bad reactions to this eye cream, it really only delivers lasting moisturization. Nothing wrong with that. The cream feels light, but spreads into more of an oil texture, which is the best type of moisturization for my dry skin. Nothing remarkable about decreasing inflammation, depuffing (which should be noticeable), or fading dark circles. And the Marula Oil, which is high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and amino acids, is the least concentrated of any of the ingredients mentioned in this review, but the best ingredient. Pure, good quality Marula Oil can used by itself under eyes (or face) for wrinkles and hydration, and there's nothing wrong with patting a bit on before applying this cream -- because there sure isn't enough of it in the cream.I applaud GK for not resorting to use of a cheat siloxane to give the illusion of totally smooth skin. GK deserves props for sticking to real ingredients, just not enough concentration. The order of ingredients is everything, not just namedropping good ones thrown in at the tail end of a formula. I've heard complaints that GK has changed since the relaunch of the line. I wouldn't know, but I'm mostly very happy with these products, and this cream only achieves a commendable fraction of its claims. Next time, the hype ingredients should be bumped into the top 5.If all you want is moisturization, no unpleasant smell, and no irritation, then this cream has done its job.
