This works nicely
I was looking for an oil with caffeine for my face and eyes. I use this and then I use Dr Brant no more bags. Then I gua sha my face. Works well! Also price point is great!
Worth the purchase
The serum glides on and absorbs easily. It somewhat achieves the desired affect; but works better once I started storing it in the refrigerator. Apply the cold serum just after washing my face. Within 20 min, lines are minimized but not gone.
Do not buy it
If you have sensitive skin DO NOT BUY this, it burns and irritates
Hurts my eyes.
Doesn't do much. Hurts my eyes! I do NOT have sensitive skin either.
My go to!
Works almost instantly. Have been using for 3 years now, and I always go back if I try something new. Super affordable too!
