Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal 36 ingredients
The ONLY products that has faded my dark circles, consistent use is the key and my eye area is looking the best it has in years (and I'm only 18)
Just a great value for such a solid product. Retinal is so much more effective than retinol so I'm glad this is the star ingredient. It feels really gentle around my eyes and for the price, I can easily use it on my entire face, neck, and chest as well.
