It worked okay for me, I think that there are probably better products out there for dark circles.

Like pretty much every eye product I have tried. They all end up actually giving me the problems I was trying to prevent.

My mild dark circles got worse, dried my skin out and pretty much aged me.

Solution is the right...

Solution is the right description. This is very watery so I switched it over to a little bottle with a rollerball. Even with gentle patting it took too long to absorb. I need products that absorb well and fast because I like layering but always prioritize sleeping those extra five minutes 😆

Im kind of 50/50 on this. I bought it to reduce the dark circles under my eyes, but it didn't do anything for that. It did get rid of the puffyness under my eyes though. I stopped using it bc it didn't do what i bought it for, so it felt...

Burned my eye area and was very irritating
I’ve tried lots of products for my eyes some with luck in improvement and some not. So I’m always trying something new. I’ve never had sensitivity or issues with any eye cream or treatment...

I’ve tried lots of products for my eyes some with luck in improvement and some not. So I’m always trying something new. I’ve never had sensitivity or issues with any eye cream or treatment before. This one though burned so bad. It burned the skin so much so sometimes my eyes watered from the irritation, and it never got in my eyes. It made my eyes look worse actually because it irritated the eye area so much. I’d read such good reviews and thought it would make a huge difference but wasn’t prepared for the irritation. I’m not sure if the caffeine does it or what because it’s the only product with caffeine I’ve ever used. And I tried it for a couple weeks thinking maybe it’s normal or will get better. At first I didn’t know what was causing it just thought maybe my eyes were irritated but realized when I stopped using this I never had any issues with my eye area burning. Sadly disappointed

Didn't notice any difference
My bottle lasted for probably 3~4 months I think? And I really didn't notice any difference... It's not hydrating enough and it didn't help with puffiness at all.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me.
I was very happy with the glow that this product gives the eye area, however, after a few weeks of use it dried out my skin a lot.
