It's a very convenient product as it can be used on the eye area and the entire face, I'm using it on my entire face as an introduction to retinoids as I noticed my first fine lines. It's not very irritating, I only had problems when I used it three times in a row in an attempt to see what the ideal frequency was. The results are visible mainly in fine lines and skin texture, it's really useful. However, I saw no difference in my dark circles.
