::: The Product :::
Reviva Labs Firming Eye Serum with Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE is an eye cream meant to “reduce the appearance of eye-area wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles as you protect against future signs of aging”.  It comes in a glass pump bottle containing 1 fl. oz. of product.  The cream itself is fragrance-free (to me at least) and is milky white with a thin, almost silky consistency without being watery.  The pump bottle isn’t too finicky in that you can get just what you need without dispensing too much product.

Reviva Labs claims the following about their eye cream:

• DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid & Wheat Protein help firm & fight bags, puffiness
• Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vitamin C Ester antioxidants help protect against future damage
• Mulberry & Lime help lighten dark circles
• Hyaluronic Acid & Allantoin, in a unique blending moisturize & texturize area

Reviva Labs Firming Eye Serum with Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE can be used morning or night, and is supposed to be applied by using gentle tapping motions using an oval pattern with repeated movements approximately five (5) times.

::: The Ingredients :::
Demineralized Spring Water, Olive Oil, Cyclomethicone, Whole Wheat Protein, DMAE Bitartrate, Mulberry Extract, Lime Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid

::: My Experience :::
I have hereditary dark circles, but don’t experience a lot of puffiness.  Even still, anything that claims to help lighten dark circles and reduce puffiness is worth trying.  So far I don’t have any eye wrinkles trying to sprout, so I’ll hope this will help keep them at bay!

I have been using this product for a little over a month, and though I can’t say I’ve noticed it lighten my dark circles, I have noticed my eye area isn’t as dry feeling as it tends to get at times, and feels very soft.  I use this eye cream both morning and night, and a little really goes a long way.  I think using too much might have caused my eye shadow to crease a time or two, even though I used my beloved Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

Reviva Labs Firming Eye Serum with Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE might be a cheaper solution to Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream, which is an eye cream I’ve been loving.  The biggest plus for me is that Reviva Labs Firming Eye Serum comes in a pump bottle, which I truly prefer over a potted eye cream.  Also, even though Vitamin C Ester (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) is the most stable, it’s not the most effective on skin. It might be a better benefit if Reviva Labs used L-ascorbic acid, though more effective on skin it’s more unstable and needs to be kept in a dark, cool place ~ not to mention it goes “bad” faster.

::: Overall :::
I would definitely purchase this, though I’m not sure if I couldn’t get just as good of an eye cream at the drugstore.  For only $19, it’s not a bad price, and Reviva Labs doesn’t test on animals.
