Feels nice but does nothing
I bought this product hopefully that it'd combat the dark circles I always have under my eyes. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. After using it twice daily for around four months I have seen little to no results. It might have firmed the area the tiniest bit, but it's such a small difference I might be imagining it. It does feel nice under the eyes though, and while it hasn't done any good it also hasn't done any harm. I would probably be more upset if it wasn't so cheap. I wouldn't repurchase.

Pretty decent!
I have almost finished half the bottle and it does nothing extraordinary to my eye area. I have oily acne prone skin w blemishes & i use it in the morning after vit c. It soothes, calms and reduces the puffiness, a bit of fine lines and firms the skin. It absorbs beautifully and really quick if you stand under a fan. Keep it in the fridge for extra cooling effect. I’m not sure if it works much on dark circles. But hey it’s definitely worth a try!

Looks promising..
I started using it few weeks ago and it looks like there is a change in color, in my very dark circles! I will be persistent and continue using it daily, because I feel dark circles are even more upfront now, in online life. Recommendation for the new users - use a teeny tiny drop, because more than that can feel heavy, far from "featherweight" as described in the product description.

This actually worked!
I bought this mainly to try it out not expecting to see anything major as I saw a lot of people saying it did nothing for them, but even after sleepless nights due to studying or working overtime this actually diminished any darkness under my eyes. It also lasts for ages. I keep it on the fridge and apply just a tiny less than pea sized amount for both of my eyes. Also, the price is amazing.

Been using for years now
Love this product - it was recommended to me by my facial Specialist. It de-puffs and gets rid of fine lines and darkness. You can see how drying it is by the build-up around the lid, it really tightness the skin. I wouldn't recommend it for people who get dry undereyes.

Such a dream, esp for deeper skin tones
I’m brown and I have or had even serious dark circles. I literally used to go through my concealer like every month and a half and it was a bit worrying bc the amount of product I put on my under eye was essentially worsening my condition which meant I was putting even more coverage on. However, since using this solution, I’ve been seeing some really great changes. My under eyes are lighter and I haven’t had to top up on my concealer in a hot minute. It’s honestly really nice and firming. I massage it into my eye contour really gently every morning and night after my moisturiser and the appearance of fine lines and darkness has reduced massively after maybe 5/6 weeks of use. A little goes a long way!

Reduced my dark circles, puffiness and fine lines!
I have dry, sensitive skin. I've had dark circles for years due to an iron deficiency that won't go away. My skin is also thin and translucent due to a genetic issue so things like dark circles show up more. I honestly wasn't expecting this product to work but I've been using it for a week and it's already made a positive difference to the skin around my eyes. My eye bags have gone away entirely; my fine lines are fading and my dark circles have improved a lot. However, I have noticed a burning sensation sometimes when I apply it. At first, it made my eyes a little crusty but this went away when I was more careful about how much I applied. Overall I'd recommend this product!

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution
Very great serum. Only been using for 2 weeks but find that it tightens loose skin on the eyelid but the effect only lasts an hour or so. Hoping this result becomes longer after more usage.

Quite drying
I am seeing some improvements on my dark circles, but it is quite drying so make sure you follow this up with a moisturiser.
