I was getting tired of using eye creams in tube form, because I used it twice a day and I knew I was running out of them at a faster rate than in tub form. I've never purchased a quantity of this size though, and I can see now the trade offs of getting a bargain for my eye cream. Its definitely sorbet like in texture, and I'm not sure if that feeling fully goes away after application. It does the job, but at the bare minimum level.
