Dark Circles game changer
I have been using this for 1 month and honestly I have seen great result on reduction in dark circles. I use it every morning and night dapping around the eyes. shows slight reduction in puffiness in the mornings. however it works very well on the reducing dark circles. Using it consistently for a month and starting reducing the usage its holding and the dark circles are not resurfacing as I expected it might once I stop the everyday usage. Recommend to use two drops and not over use of solution. Love the product overall!!

Definitely brightens
I’ve been using this for about a month and my eyes are definitely brighter! I only really get dark circles when I’m extremely tired so can’t comment on that but sometimes they are puffy which they haven’t been since using this, and I do definitely look brighter and more alert! Feels really nice too as it’s oil based, great base for my eye cream after. Will buy again!

Didn't do much
Just finished this entire bottle and finally feel like I can say something about this. Honestly, I was hoping for more results - I tend to get puffy eyes in the morning and I don't think this had much effect on reducing that despite having used it religiously every morning for a year. It can leave you under eyes feeling a bit dry so I'd usually apply some gentle eye cream over it for hydration. I don't think I'll be repurchasing this, sadly.

Works better than I thought it would!
Been using this just over a week now and at first I thought there was no change, started to notice the dark circles had minimised, my main problem is puffiness and NOTHING I've used before made a difference, this puppy however has reduced the "trunks" (suitcases are to small) under my eyes really well, I'm hoping that I don't reach a peak and that's it! Would still purchase this again as it's a great price, big bottle (maybe a bit big, agree with others a 15ml would last ages) and it has actually made a difference!! I have had a wee bit of irritation, but it tend to go when it dries ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ineffective
This feels cooling on the eyes but makes no difference whatsoever to reducing puffiness. Don't waste your money.

Fantastic for puffy eyes
I’ve only been using this for about a week but already noticed a difference. I don’t really have dark circles so I can’t comment on it’s efficacy there, but this depuffs my tired eyes like nothing else. It is a liquidy serum and you only need one drop for both eyes. Feels slightly tight to start but then leaves under eye bright and smooth. I think it’s opened up my whole eye area too. Amazing product and worth a punt as it’s so reasonably priced too.

Not for me
I’m not yet convinced this has had an impact on my eyes in any noticeable way; been using it for about 6 weeks now. It’s a coppery coloured oil that rubs in nicely to the eye area. There is a lot of product and it will probably last me a good while, so I will persevere and not waste it, but I’m not sure I will purchase it again - I love all other Ordinary products I use, but don’t think this one is for me.

It IS coffee for your face!
Working from home the last couple of months means that I don’t ever wear make up or get ready in the morning, so if I quickly have to get ready for a meeting and I don’t want to put make up on, this will wake up my face. Even for early morning meetings. It’s literally like your face had a coffee to wake up. It will make you look presentable. Recommend.

Won't be repurchasing!!
I did not see that much results. A little bit goes a long way. It did not dry my under eye area. I had this for almost 11 or 12 months & just finished two-thirds of it. So I have to throw it out soon & that is just a waste!! I wish it was available in 15 ml size.
