What is this product designed to address?
According to molecular-cosmetics.com this is what the product is and what it does:
Swelling, bags, dark shadows – an exhausted eye area can make us look tired and sad. This new eye cream has been especially developed by Dr. Sturm to treat the delicate and problematic eye area. While the scientific basis of the eye care formula provides optimum care for this sensitive area using Purslane and Skullcap, the special complex of Golden Root, Sugar Beet and Yeast also provide a soothing, ‘de-puffing’ effect. Active omega lipids help the skin retain its moisture and give it youthful freshness. As with all our products, powerful natural compounds are combined with medical molecular active substances to offer protection against premature skin aging and to assist skin regeneration.

Purslane: Contains hydrating and skin-regenerating properties.

What is the texture like?
This feels light-weight and refreshing.

This doesn't really have a discernible scent.
My overall experience/comments on the product:
I will say that I like how quickly this sinks into the skin and the beneficial ingredients it has but firstly, it feels incredibly lightweight to the point where I feel like it doesn't adequately hydrate the eye area. I haven't used this long term enough to speak to anything other than the immediate benefits. This does have a bit of a brightening, blurring quality to it. All that side, given it's high price point, I am in no rush to purchase a tube.
