What the gurus are saying

At $140, this eye cream draws criticism for its premium price paired with actives that lack proven under-eye benefits. The macadamia oil and yeast are decent ingredients on their own, but reviewers find them unremarkable for the eye area and report insufficient evidence for their specific effects. Though the brand has loyal followers, reviewers here decline to repurchase, finding the price unjustified for what the ingredients deliver.

"I received the Dr. Barbara Sturm Eye Cream in PR. I absolutely will not repurchase this. I know [...] the brand [...] does have some loyalists, but I just personally do not get it."
~Nay
"That girl has also come to use the $140 Dr. Barbara Sturm eye creams. [...] Her products are extraordinarily overpriced. I just take a doctor's name, put it on a luxury product, and charge a ridiculous amount of money for it. [...] The Dr. Barbara Sturm Eye Cream has macadamia oil and yeast. And while these are good, they're not necessarily amazing or proven in the under eye area to do miraculous things."

Esthetician Reacts To Kristen Bell's Dirty Clarisonic & $140 Eye Cream Skincare Routine
"I love this Dr. Barbara Sturm Eye Cream. It's really really light and it sort of feels a little bit more like a gel. [...] Normally I would scream about this price—140 dollars for 15 milliliters—but this is the first case where I'm like yes, girl, use this."
