I've been trying and using philosophy skin care products for several years now.  Some are fabulous, some are just okay, and there are others that downright stink.  I consider philosophy Hope In A Tube Eye Firming Cream to be one of the very best items in the line that I've ever used. 

philosophy describes this firming eye cream as "high density".  I have to agree: this is hands-down the absolute thickest undereye product that I've ever used.  I usually apply it in small dots scattered throughout the area and then gently work it into skin with my weaker ring finger so as not to pull on the skin more than necessary.  You only need a very small dab of product to for complete undereye coverage.

$35 per 0.5 ounce tube is expensive, but in my opinion the results are well worth the price! My eyes always look better when I'm using philosophy Hope In A Tube Eye Firming Cream.  Fine lines look filled and dark circles are minimized.  I've tried to use cheaper drug store items over the year but the performance just doesn't compare.  Nowadays I stick with Hope In A Tube as my under-eye product.  It isn't sold in my area, but I can easily purchase it from philosophy.com, drugstore.com, or sephora.com.  Highly recommended!

I agree. I love this cream and use it all the time. I get the Philosophy Girl kits which save me a bundle and there's always a fresh tube of this cream in the kit. Great stuff.

Sounds like it works! I'll keep it in mind when I run out of my makeup :)
