Squeeze the tube to apply a small amount below your eyes. Switch to the cooling side of the ceramic tip. Move in slow arcs from the outer corner of the eye in, and up along the brow bone. Gently pat with fingers to help any excess absorb. Wear alone or under ILIA True Skin Serum Concealer with Vitamin C.

Retinol daily = BAD IDEA (burning sensation)
I love Ilia as a brand. I love their ingredients, I love the fact that they feature senior models in their ads, I love their ingredients, and in general, I've never had an issue with their products. So, when I went on the hunt for a good daytime eye cream, I was excited to see that their eye treatme...

I absolutely love the product. Feels good. Looks good. I expect there will be benefits that occur over time since ingredients are fantastic. Dispenser is nice & works well, with ease. Thank you! the only reason I reduced a star is because the product had already been used, when it arrived. See photos. (Also, other products were used or had damaged packaging upon arrival, despite outer boxes were fully intact, so it was not a shipping issue. Photos depict this. Please see in depth review of full impact to this order, under my review of Complexion Stick, Willow which also arrived with damaged packaging, making it hard to open.) Overall, I believe your formulations are sensational & just the very natural, skin nourishing light coverage I'd been wishing for, so I thank you for that. But, your quality control on this order was a bit horrendous, and did not occur during shipping, so must have occurred during packing. I thought you needed to know about it, so you can do the right thing to rectify the problem. Hope you will. Best, Tiffany

Steep learning curve

I watched several videos before applying and even after a week, still not convinced I'm doing it right. The tip feels nice on my skim, bur doesn't smooth as well as id hoped. I see a slight brightness to my undereye area.
