I’ve been using this for about 2 weeks, It’s okay, it makes my under eyes feel more hydrated but I can’t really tell if it’s doing anything for dark circles
Instant hydration, but over time, I think my eyes are drier than when I first started using it. Flaky skin around my eyes and on the bridge of my nose. Hydration isn’t lasting me all day, either. I’m flaky by the afternoon when I apply in the morning. Bridge of my nose and eyebrows have broken out.
