Shocking Improvement
I am 45 and have been plagued with dark circles since I can remember. I've have tried many eye creams over the years and not a single one made a noticeable improvement. Cassandra Bankson is a huge advocate against eye creams, saying they are overpriced moisturizers. But I recently watched one of her...

Not good
Omg! I am so shocked! This serum made mine upper lids very wrinkly and swollen. Under my eyes there are small red spots. It almost like I have more darker circles. Hard to see on the pictures maybe. I have been using this product for 1 or 2 weeks now, once a day. I hope the damage will go away. I wi...

I threw it away still half a bottle left
Over time made my under eye so dry and flaky feel limit made my far circles worse
Good
I don't see a huge difference but I do like how hydrating this is. Sometimes I feel like it works and other times it seems to not do much. I don't have sensitive skin and there was no irritation. I'll keep using it more for how lightweight hydrating it is than for dark circles.
Nope big NOPE
Wont buy again irritated my eyes
easy to over do it
I can't really say it's been effective at reducing my dark circles, since I haven't seen much of a difference. however it hasn't caused any irritation which is good. Unfortunately it's SUPER easy to accidentally use too much, and then when it dries it tightens on your skin a little like glue so it pulls weird, stays tacky, and comes off in little white rolls like bad sunscreen that look really dumb if you don't realize and you're out and about🤦 I accidentally walked around looking like I had severe eye boogies for like an hour before I caught a glimpse of my reflection and realized 😭 I have no idea how I'm going to use all of this up before the expiration date if I can only put on the tiniest amount, and when it's not super evident it's helpful.
Tried for the first time
I have very bad dark circles under my eyes and thought I would give this product a try. I hate how they look with and without concealer. I have and will continue to use the Ordinary products that I used before and will tell my friends about these
