Was surprised
I don't have very bad dark circles under my eyes but I have been using this daily. At first I didn't see anything beneficial about it. But I do think it is quite moisturizing as an eye moisturizer and it doesn't sting. One day I was doing my usual skincare and to my horror I saw obvious under eye dark circles. I applied this, and within a few minutes, the dark circles went away! It becomes my HG from now onwards.

(Using Since Jan 2023) This has been one of the better eye creams I have used and is still a part of my routine due to its other benefits, but I am still on the lookout for an eye cream that will continually brighten my dark circles as that is a key concern for me. I find that it is on the cheaper end for an eye cream (It's honestly the most expensive product in my entire routine). Haven't experienced any irritation using this product so it works great on sensitive skin. I noticed a slight improvement for brightening in the earlier weeks of use but not much after going through the second bottle or so. I will say that this has been great for hydrating my undereye area and depuffing (I usually keep this in a mini-fridge and pair with an overnight reusable eye mask).
