Bright Start Activated Eye Cream

This product leaves a weird sparkly, residue and cakes to your skin. Don’t use it.

I’ve been using this for 6 months and it’s done…NOTHING! I wouldn’t repurchase. There must be something else out there that’s better. I think it might just be the shimmer and light color that makes people “see” results.

do not buy

This product has glitter which makes your undereyes brighter. It barely hydrates and it doesn't go well with makeup

Not worth the hype

I used almost the whole tube and tried so hard to love it but now that I stopped using it, I realized how dry it made my under eyes and caused milia on my skin from clogging my pores. I don’t understand the hype.

Clogged my pores and caused acne

I found this product to be brightening, easy to apply, creamy and sat well under my make-up. Unfortunately it broke me out like crazy. I have several large clogged pores/pimples around my orbital bone. Pimples vanished when I stopped using this product.

Helps hydrate under eyes

It is not absolutely amazing but I do think it is a good product. I normally have very dry under eyes that flake and peel when I put concealer on (especially in the winter) and that has basically stopped happening since using this.

Temporary fix : Not worth the repurchase

I had high hopes for the Ilia Bright Start Activated Eye Cream, but honestly, it didn’t really deliver. I went through the entire tube, and while it felt nice going on and gave a little shimmer under the eyes, it was more of a temporary cover-up than an actual fix for dark circles.

Extremely drying. I seem to be the only review with this experience but this was not hydrating or brightening.

Brightens eyes

Brightens my eyes and doesn't bother my sensitive eyes.

Gave me milia under my eye.. stopped using it for a month and then Started again this week and it broke me out again.. do not recommend.. great packaging and nice tint too but wished it didn’t give me milia

Very meh product, used it for like 3 months consistently and didn’t notice a difference. I will say this does look good under makeup it does not have a brightening effect long term.

Perfectly named!

This eye cream is soothing and depuffing, a great initial step in the morning. No redness or irritation like retinol products. Moisturizing and relaxing to apply, decreasing the ravages of time.
