What’s good about it?

I love this eye cream. It's a cream texture but it's light on the eye. It's light but it's hydrating. It's hydrating but it's not oily and doesn't leave residue. It absorbs nicely and in a timely manner. Excellent for lines/wrinkles. Fragrance free which is perfect for those of you with sensitive eyes. Good under makeup. I can see this being extremely agreeable for those of you with hayfever/itchy eyes/allergies/contact lens wearers.

What’s not so good about it?

Nothing. It's great.

Would I purchase/repurchase?

Yes

Do you need it?

Yes, if your eyes are a concern. If you're 20 and don't smoke or drink and wear spf etc then you can hold off for a while.
