dried out under my eyes and actually made the fine lines worse, had to apply extra moisturizer to undereye area to negate the drying effects. Didn't do much for dark circles and only reduced appearance of fine lines a minimal amount (after extra moisturizer), effects not noticeable enough to be worth paying full price for imo.
