I used to absolutely adore this eye cream, however, over the last several weeks, I have noticed severe dry skin on my eyelids and under eyes. This is the only eye cream that I use. I got this one as part of the holiday kit in 2025 and had no issues with the previous set from 2024. I am not sure what is going on, but I will be discontinuing use. Show details
Has a reaction and redness could not use this product at all. Had tried it many years ago and it seemed fine but they do change formulars at times. Estee was once my favourite perfume for 30 years until they changed the formular & I never bought it again.
Tried using this as I got it as a sample with my mascara.. Felt nice at first going on but woke up with swollen red, puffy eyes, cheeks and mottling red on my nose. At first I thought it could be another product but same thing happened again for 2 more nights even after stopping other skincare. Now my eyes are stinging and sore with dry flaky skin. Not for me.

Scaly, swollen, red and sore - avoid! – I came across the review page whilst googling allergies to this product - sad to say I am not alone! Scaling skin around the eyes, red and inflamed, deep wrinkles and hooded eyelids, swollen and sore - after less than a week's use! How is this product still on the market? I look ten years older in 7 days. And in I'm in pain. Show details
Burned skin, flaky skin, puffy skin. Skin ruined – Use this expensive product at your own risk. It burned my skin so bad, one week after using it I couldn’t pin point why my skin was feeling the way it did. Thought it was allergies but narrowed it down to this product. Gave me wrinkles under my eyes that had never had. I hope it heals because I’m distraught at how my face looks now. Show details
Don’t buy it! Return it! – I bought this eye cream along with the serum and cream. It was very expensive! I used it under my eyes per instructions and woke up with swollen red under eyes! I use ice to try and help it and it didn’t work. A day later I’m still red, swollen and now have scabby skin like it’s a chemical peel. My eyes are more wrinkled than before and puffy.. I put makeup on to cover it and it burned! Please stay away from this stuff. Be careful Show details
This irritated my skin and also left it dry- – This product wasn't cheap and was also advertised for all skin types, it left my face a burning sensation and dryness. There is no advice on allergic reaction or a information sheet in the packaging. Bought it from Boots pharmacy in England
Also had an allergic reaction! – My mum gifted me this, I used it for a few nights and woke up to the most swollen eyes I've ever had! Hopefully it sorts out soon! Show details
Positive reviews
I freaking love this stuff!! It is absolutely unbelievable. I did that think it would make my skin look great. My reddish face is no more. I feel so hydrated in my face and neck. I just ordered a new bottle of the largest size. It is expensive, but I just can’t stop using it. I’m hooked Show details · 1
Good product at much cheaper price with quick delivery – Very happy with my purchase. Quick delivery. I had never bought on Catch before, so was a bit nervous of buying, but reading other reviews on the product, I felt more confident to buy. and wanted to share my experience. SusieQ Show details
Great Eye cream – Great product. It hydrates my eyes really well. I am already on my second bottle. My skin just loves this product. I hope to buy it again in the future. Show details
Negative reviews
Eye cream is the worst I've used. Went on smoothly, and initially felt nice but then started experiencing burning feeling, redness, and flaking over the next few days. I've never considered myself to have sensitive skin and have never had issues with skin care (multiple high and low end products) Now my under eye bags look worse than ever as my skin recovers.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream - never again! I too like many others have reacted terribly to this eye cream. I’ve used EL products for 20 plus years and was horrified to wake up with a red, burning, puffy, sore under eye. 1 week on and it’s still puffy, itching, dry and it looks 10 years older than my other eye. Has anyone recover… Read more
well from this? Can anyone recommend treatment? Has anyone taken this further with EL. They need to be held accountable. This is simply not ok, the product needs to be taken from shelves.
Disappointing – Red, sore. Dark and baggy under eyes with some scaling on one side. People asked if I was okay and at times I was in pain - I just found this page and now know I am not going mad! Just want an alternative

Terrible – I started only using the serum on my right eye because I wanted to compare results, if there would be any changes. A week of using the serum I started to get a tingling feeling after a few days and figured just needed to get adjusted until after a week and half now my eye is red, puffy, a bit peeling, tender to the touch and I also feel a… Read more
lingering tingling sensation as if almost burning. Everyone’s skin is different but after reading other reviews it seems this has been an ongoing problem for a while. Here to say, it’s still a problem.
Bad reaction – I have been using ester lauder advanced night repair eye serum for probably 20 years and in the last 5 years I had blisters around the corner of my eyes and underneath my eyes I went to a dermatologist thinking it was something wrong and we tried medication for it we tried steroid creams got it to go away partially but it just kept coming back… Read more
while I decided to stop my eye serum and it went away completely waited a few weeks. try to begin and it came back they must have changed something in the serum because I absolutely cannot use it anymore.
Awful – I've used estee lauder eye serums for years and it was the best. This is new formula is awful, I've tried slowly introducing it it over a month but each time my eyelids swell up and go red and my eyeballs actually hurt. Show details
Burning sensation under eyes – It pains me to write such a bad review but I see that I’m not alone and I am in physical pain. Admittedly this was a sample gift with purchase from Macy’s but the formula needs to be changed on this product and hopefully this will help prevent someone else from being injured. I used the night eye cream and am experiencing burning and red, dry skin under my eyes. Show details
Do not buy this product – Bought this cream over the weekend. Bought a trial skin collection as didn’t want to pay loads if it didn’t suit. Advised I have sensitive skin. Was offered advanced night serum cream for face and eyes. Along with a toner. Used both serum and eye cream on Friday night. Instantly burnt my skin. Sometimes I get this when first using products so let… Read more
it cool down. By morning my eyes were swollen and puffy, my cheeks too. I had this mottled rash like burn marks across my skin. Like others I thought maybe it was other things, like I’d caught the sun or it was the hotel washing powder etc. second night using it same reaction but far worse. My skin the next day is rough and dry. It’s red and patchy and so sore like I’ve been burnt. I am so glad I only bought the sample pack but still all that money wasted on a product I cannot use. I will have to visit the chemist tomorrow or the doctor as no amount of moisturiser is helping right now.
Scaly and Burns – I bought the trial promo of Este Lauder Advanced Night Repair. I thought it was so good at first, so I bought a big jar of it. The next thing I know, my eyes started scaling and having big red marks. They hurt so bad. I am heartbroken because the other Este Lauder products are fine. Just do NOT use the night repair eye cream. Show details
Reacts badly with my non-sensitive skin – After one week of using I developed a red flaky rash under my left eye. I don't have sensitive skin at all (tattoos, piercings, creams and dyes have never had any bad reaction!), so this is a great shame that this product gave me a bad reaction. Show details

Terrible reaction – Terrible reaction. Red, swollen,flaking and burning.. my eyes itch terribly. Feels like a chemical burn. Not worth the price . Very deep wrinkle lines appeared during this process. Show details
Don't use it at any cost – Before using it, I just had dark circles. After using it for a few days, I now have dry, wrinkled, scally and itchy under the eye. The product is just horrible. It's like a chemical burn. I am not sure if my undereye will ever recover from the damage. And considering the price, it's just criminal Show details
Allergic reaction – My eyelids became puffy and wrinkly. I tried using twice in case it wasn’t my new expensive eye cream (that I selected after my daughter and I tried all the eye creams on the back of our hands: ester lauder was the winner on the back of the hands). The second time I stuck to all my usual products and only changed the eye cream. And yes definitely the eye cream was causing the irritation. Now using Clinique which seems fine. Show details
This can cause severe irritation – I bought this because I ran out of my usual eye cream. And not even a week of using this, I noticed there’s red patches around my eye area. It’s itchy with burning sensation. Developed severe allergic reactions. It was said that it is one of the best in the market but obviously NOT. Wasted money and harmful for sensitive skin. Show details
Eyes itchy, red and swelling – This product caused a huge allergy to my skin. It got red, itchy, very swollen, dry and eventually peeled off. Horrible experience. Unfortunately, it took me weeks to realise what was causing it. I use other products of the brand and this never happened before. So I could not imagine that the eye cream was causing this awful reaction. I tried to… Read more
change soap, shampoo, other creams before I came to this conclusion. But now I am absolutely sure. Do not buy this product!
Red puffiness under eys – Had heard great reviews about the Estée Lauder line, and most of their facial products seem fine, just not this one. Used it one night and woke up with flaky red skin that hurts to touch. Tried putting moisturizer on it to help the dryness but the burn is too much. Show details
BEWARE!! – This product causes extreme swelling, redness and flaking after one application! I woke up with swelling, puffiness and red welts under my eyes after one use. I’m returning it immediately. Every picture posted here is right on point! My under eye area look just like all of the pics! Show details
Horrible reaction – I took this newly-bought product on a weekend trip out of town. Started waking up with dry and irritated skin, assumed it was an allergic reaction to the detergent or pillow material in my airbnb. By the end of the weekend, my eyes were incredibly swollen (like punched-in-the-eye swollen) and irritated - the skin looked and felt literally damaged,… Read more
squeezing my eyes closed tightly caused pain. I used only facial oil and no makeup until recovered (which took a week). Just last night, I used the product again before bed and woke up with swelling, rough/dry skin, and irritation. It's this product!
