Most Helpful Positive Review I AM PLEASED This is the first eye cream I've ever actually bought and not received as a sample. I can't complain. It's easy and dare I say fun to apply. It feels good. It sinks in well. My concealer doesn't look as rough as it used to. The only con for me is that Clinique isn't a cruelty free brand. I needed eye cream literally that day though and it delivered.
Most Helpful Critical Review Horrible! I went to Ulta over the weekend looking to buy another eye cream that has great reviews online. After having some trouble finding it, a sales lady asked if I needed help. Even though she said they carried that product, she said well you should try this instead because a lot of people like it.
Worst decision ever! Prior to trying this my only "eye concern" was having dark tear trough in a dime sized area under each eye. I've never had lines, bags or anything else. This stuff made me look awful! After using this for just a few days I look like I have huge circles under my eyes and have aged a lot. Absolutely horrible eye cream! Will be returning ASAP!

UnivCity from Philadelphia, PA
The eye cream gives a refreshing feeling…that turns into tingling/stinging. It gave me red irritated bumps around my eyes after one use. I have sensitive skin which this product is supposed to be safe for.
Happy under eyes! 5
C3lticat from Clayton, NC
Use to moisturize under eyes before makeup. Great product! No smearing of makeup under eyes all day. Easy applicator.
I would buy this product again 5
GR from Atlanta, ga
Use this twice daily
Don't believe the hype 4
EARL from Tampa Florida
He's a real one and very simple
Functionality of dispenser is pretty bad 2
Jewlz from Bay Area, CA
The actual product is okay. But every time I try to close the top, a bunch of extra eye cream shoots out of the container. This is a terrible design and makes it easy for you to waste product and find eye cream on your mirror or wall—basically everywhere you don't want it. They tried to create a gimmick with this round top but it should've never made it out of the testing dept. Plenty of other eye creams to choose from.
Love it 5
MeganLynn from New Orleans
I have tired looking eyes & this cream has really made a difference. My eyes just look noticeably better. I'm impressed. I'll definitely be buying this again!
Awesome product 5
Brooke from IN
Since using this i have seen major results. I used to have dull crepey skin under my eyes and ive noticed it is almost gone almost. Im very impressed. Maybe its the squalene in it idk but it is amazing.
Love it for a morning eye cream. 5
m_a_h from Bakersfield, Ca
This product was recommended to me in store and I absolutely love it. The only con is that I found the packaging a little difficult to open and I nearly broke the applicator.
My one true eye cream 5
MiraMira42 from Philadelphia, PA
This is the only eye cream I've ever used that genuinely makes the skin around my eyes feel firmer, and, well, peppier, even after a single application. And because a little goes a long way, the price point doesn't feel unreasonable. I could do without the weird pop-up applicator, but otherwise, no complaints.
My go to for puffy eyes in the morning 5
Jess from Orlando Florida
I use the in the morning to depuff my eyes. This product is awesome, I have purchased multiple times.
Meh 2
ARCHIE from LA
Didn't notice the difference.
Yes I would purchase again. 5
Luvgolf from TX
Had been using a different product for same purpose as pep-start, pep start I think it's better
Love 5
Sophia from St. Louis, MO
Love the formula of this. It is cooling. Sometimes I feel I am using too much just because of the design of the tube, so I squeeze it out on my finger instead.
Love it! 5
MissRed from Amarillo, TX
I decided to try this product on a whim. I love it. It makes my eyes bright and peppy. It does sting a little at first.
Love the Cream, Could Improve the Container 4
Cait from Ohio
I really enjoy the product itself. I feel like it de-puffs my eyes, brightens them, and brings some great moisture. I don't love the dispenser itself- I find whenever I "close" it some more product comes out, which seems a bit wasteful. Overall, I would purchase again!
Precisely what I was looking for! 5
gen from Los Angeles, CA
I've constantly had to deal with dark circles under my eyes, as well as waking up with them puffy. The pep start creme immediately worked its magic. I don't look like a raccoon anymore.
My favorite eye cream! 5
Lauren from Lisle, IL
I use this product every day. When I forget to wash my face at night (I know, bad) I can tell that the skin under my eyes is much drier than when I apply the eye cream. I've had reactions to various eye creams and this is the best one I've found for me so far. I normally go to the gym before work so my routine has to be fast, and this absorbs quickly enough for me to get going quickly.
Doesn't work and applicator design is seriously flawed 1
Maggie from New Jersey
The most frustrating part of this product is the applicator design. The ball at the top brokeoff during my second application, and I cannot get it back on no matter how hard I press it on. This means I cannot seal the tube and have to be careful not to squeeze all of it out when I hold it. Also, I have not seen any difference in my under eyes since using the product. In short, the product doesn't work and the design is flawed. Normally I love Clinique, but I will NOT purchase this again.
Made my eyes heavy 2
MrsK from Venice, Fl
I didn't notice any benefits after a few uses, but for some reason it made my eyes super heavy. I won't be buying this again.
Makes my eyes feel heavy 1
krodgz from California
I received a sample of this and have used this product a couple of times. Within a couple hours of using it my eyes begin to feel so heavy as if I'm so tired I'm trying to stay awake. This product almost makes my eyes feel strained. After the first time using this I thought maybe it was just a coincidence but I used it a second time a few days and experienced the exact same thing. Definitely will not keep using this and super glad it was a free sample!
Favorite eye cream!!! 5
Monrad4814 from Las Vegas, NV
I'm not a fan of eye creams in general. I feel like I don't need them, they're all ineffective, etc. until I got a sample of Pep Start!! OMG!! It's instantly cooling, soothing and my eyes literally feel like they perked right up as I'm applying the cream! I applied to one eye and checked in the mirror, and I didn't see a HUGE dramatic difference; but a subtle difference. But the feeling was dramatic. My eyes felt moisturized, awake, refreshed, cooled... I could go on forever. I am now a believer in eye creams. This must be what all the fuss is about!! Because Pep Star is AMAZING!! I'm buying a full size tube now and incorporating it into my daily skincare routine :)
meh 2
nette813 from Drexel Hill
it moisturized, but aside from that I didn't notice any difference
Caused styes 3
Ali from CT
I would not recommend this product. It clogged glands in my eye and caused a stye.
Perks Up Sleepy Eyes 4
AJ from Chattanooga, TN
I got this as a sample first, before buying the full size. I really like it. It's absorbed quickly and does help me to look more rested and awake. Took a star off becuase the packaging is a little different, with the ball on the top that you have to pull out. I can see why others may have had issues with it since there is no explanation. I was able to figure it out and once I got used to it, it's fine.
Yes im gonna buy it again 5
Asleen from Orlando fl
Every day in the morning I use it
