Good, but not a stand-alone eye product
Like everything from the Inkey List, this is affordable, reliable, and well formulated, if not a product...

Good, but not a stand-alone eye product
Like everything from the Inkey List, this is affordable, reliable, and well formulated, if not a product no one can live without. To get the full benefit, you have to use a hydrating toner/mist and pair this eye cream with the Inkey List caffeine eye cream in the morning and retinol eye cream at night.
