It does nothing, really nothing more to say about it lol. I got it when I saw it at TJ max bc it was on clearance for 10$ , said why not. Tried it out for a good month and saw absolutely no results lol, and looking at ingredients it just seems random: not enough hydration, random oils (I guess the lipids part of the claim? But also it makes your eyes blur so bad, can’t see properly for like 5 mins after using), only thing in here that would really do anything is PHA but really what is gentle exfoliation going to do to address most eye concerns like dark circles and wrinkles lol, just a useless product really, get a diff eye cream
