Disappointing
It doesn't do what it is supposed to. No matter how much I apply, it makes absolutely no difference to the dry skin and red area around my eyes. Been trying it for weeks now and absolutely nothing has happened! I really expected it to work reading all the reviews about. Wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to anyone.

So so
It reduced my puffiness but did nothing for my dark circles (although it’s notoriously difficult to treat dark circles with cosmetics alone). I do think it thinned my skin around my eye area, hard to scientifically prove this, however there was a noticeable (negative) difference in the elasticity of my skin around my eyes. I stopped using it straight away.

Disappointing
I really, really, reeeeally wanted this to work. I read so many great reviews and I’ve religiously applied it every morning and every night for over a month. No difference whatsoever. No short term effect, no lasting effects. Such a pity. Just as well it was cheap!

I have always suffered from tired and drowsy eyes and always seem to have dark circles. I love this. It firms the skin under my eyes. I apply a few drops and massage it in, then add my usual eye cream and I love it.

Hmmmm
I did see some difference in terms of the reduction of my large circles. But all in all I don't think it's worth it. As although it is a gel like formula it really dries up my under eye and at times leaves a residue.

Wow
I have a very pale complexion and therefore the darkness under my eyes is very noticeable. I’ve only began using this product and have already noticed a difference. Highly recommend.

Anti-zombie weapon
I'm really glad I gave this beauty a try - it really works for me from the beginning, getting me rid of swollen, darkened eyes each morning. I also use it around my hairline to promote some growth in my roots, I'm curious how that will turn out (and hopeful, too). Texture is nice, absorbs quickly and I tend to put it over my serum in the evening. It caused some irritation at first, and after a month I'm still getting used to the feeling of it after application (my skin is a little red, it doesn't itch, but feels warm - similar to low capsaicin ointments).

it's OK...
I haven't seen much of a difference but I stopped using it because it leaves a residue on my skin so if I put concealer on after, it goes flaky...
