Nice, but didn't make a big difference
I found that this eye cream has helped to reduce my eye's puffiness, especially in the mornings. However, I've seen no improvement for dark circles, dryness or any of the other claims. I will not be repurchasing this sadly.

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 must also use a hydrating toner or mist and pair this eye cream with the Inkey List Brighten-I eye cream.
