I didn't like it, there's no effect, and it burns.
I really liked it. The skin feels soft and there is no shine. It provides instant brightening and a refreshing effect. It lightens dark circles, not just after the first use, but within a week or two of daily use. I will definitely buy it again.
At the moment, this is the only effective product out of everything I've tried. It's not a wow effect, but it does something. And it's more convenient than patches. It didn't get rid of dark circles (but I wasn't expecting it to), but it did reduce morning puffiness (on both upper and lower eyelids) after the first use.
I applied a drop on each eyelid on clean skin and gently patted it in with light tapping motions, repeated it twice. After 20 minutes, I followed up with hyaluronic acid, moisturizing cream, and then SPF.
I purchased a large quantity of products, including professional ones from well-known brands, and in all cases, the effect was close to zero. This is the only product that actually removed puffiness under the eyes! I don't have dark circles under my eyes, so I can't say anything about that effect, but the serum does help with puffiness.
I didn't buy it here. It helps me a lot specifically with the problem of under-eye puffiness. No other product has worked as well for me; it practically eliminates puffiness and has a cumulative effect. It should be used in conjunction with a moisturizing cream or serum. I find it strange to read reviews stating that the product doesn't work. In such cases, I believe it's either a counterfeit or the person doesn't have the problem that this serum is designed to address.
I bought this serum specifically for the puffiness around my eyes. The other day, I cried a lot and my eyes became swollen. In the evening, I applied the serum and then a regular moisturizer on top. The swelling went down before I went to bed. I'm not sure about the dark circles, but it works really well for puffiness. When it runs out, I will definitely buy it again. Before I tried this serum, it would take until the next day after crying in the evening for the swelling to go down, but with this serum, it all went away during the evening.
I bought this for my mom, she has been using it for about a month, and she is really satisfied with the results. There is actually no swelling.
I have been using it for a month now, but I haven't seen any results. The only thing it does is provide a pleasant refreshing sensation. That's about it. What more can you expect from a serum that costs only $9?
I have been using it for over a week and I can see the results! It completely lightens the skin around my eyes by 100%.
I bought this product for my mom. She suffers from severe swelling of the lower eyelids, and cosmetologists were hesitant to perform any procedures as they were unsure of their effectiveness. We ordered this product without expecting much, but it exceeded all our expectations. The swelling diminishes, and we noticed incredible results within a week, although the swelling is reduced from the first application. I highly recommend it!
I have been using this serum for 5 days, both in the morning and evening. After applying it, I always follow up with a moisturizer. I am completely satisfied with the results, 100%. Swelling under the eyes and the consequences of lack of sleep are a thing of the past. I never expected that in my 40s, I could eliminate them with a cosmetic product! Thank you MAKEUP for introducing us))))))
I have been using this serum for a month. I am 37 years old. The skin around my eyes doesn't have any specific problems, no obvious dark circles, but there is sometimes slight puffiness in the mornings. The main advantage of this serum is its good draining effect thanks to caffeine. The puffiness really disappears quickly. Sometimes I apply it not only on my eyelids but also on my entire face in the morning to wake up faster. I always seal the serum with a cream.
I purchased it from another website for 245 UAH and have been using it daily in the mornings for 2 weeks now. After reading reviews, I was expecting some kind of wow effect, but as usual, when expectations are high, the results are disappointing. I'm 24 years old, with soft skin, no swelling, but frequent dark circles due to lack of sleep. As for the results, my skin has become softer, but I'm not sure if it's because of the serum or because I changed my moisturizer. The usage is minimal, as the jar is very big. I hope to finish using the 30ml within a year. It does tighten the skin. One time, I forgot to apply moisturizer after using it, and all the tiny wrinkles appeared and showed themselves to the world in all their glory. So, I only use it with moisturizer now. Don't repeat my mistakes.
It works beautifully. It reduces puffiness, brightens dark circles, and leaves the skin toned. Yes, it tightens the skin. But a serum is an active product, and actives need to be "sealed" with a cream. So as soon as the serum is absorbed, you need to apply a cream, and there will be no tightness or wrinkles. It's frustrating that people don't know the basic rules of skincare and blame skincare products for it.
The serum saved me during difficult times: it eliminates swelling by 100%. You can cry all day, use the serum in the evening, and wake up in the morning looking as if nothing happened. However, dark circles cannot be removed by anything, as they are a physical feature of the face.
This product effectively reduces swelling and eliminates dark circles. It has a long-lasting texture that blends well and has a slight stickiness, which is hardly noticeable. It also has minimal usage.
I ordered a second bottle, the first one lasted me six months of daily use in the mornings. I have mature, dehydrated skin at the age of 40+, and I wake up with upper eyelid puffiness almost every morning. It doesn't help with dark circles or under-eye bags, and it's foolish to expect it to help with wrinkles, but somehow it magically reduces my upper eyelid puffiness. So in the morning, I use eye patches and then apply the serum, and voila - I look human again. It instantly tightens the skin and gives the appearance of lifted eyelids. At least, that's how it feels and my overall impression. All in all, I really liked this product.
I don't know how, but it works! It instantly reduces swelling. Yes, some wrinkles may become more visible, I noticed a few when I squint really hard, but I think it's natural because it's draining water from that area. The skin becomes incredibly soft, it doesn't tighten (I spray my whole face and especially the area around my eyes with thermal water beforehand). The serum works, I am satisfied!
This is the worst product I have ever bought! I purchased this product before, used it a couple of times, and then threw it in the back of the drawer. It instantly absorbs and dries out the skin, making all the wrinkles around the eyes three times more visible and deeper! Recently, I decided to give this product a second chance, applied it, and it absorbed instantly again, causing the skin under my eyes to tighten excessively. With each day of use, the wrinkles became even deeper! After using it for about 4-5 days, it seemed like the skin around my eyes aged like that of a 70-year-old woman. This product simply ruins everything, dries out the skin, and only adds more wrinkles! It's a terrible product, and I don't recommend it to anyone! I threw it in the trash to spare my skin from further torture with this ineffective remedy!
It absorbs instantly and tightens the skin, reducing swelling slightly, but wrinkles appear twice as deep. There is not even a minimal moisturizing effect. The product may be suitable for young girls to hide puffiness after a sleepless night, but it definitely does not work as an anti-aging remedy. The only star is for the absence of stickiness and odor.
After a week of use (morning and evening), I saw no results. It neither brightened nor reduced puffiness. And by the way, it doesn't smell like coffee.
Sometimes leaves a sticky layer. Swelling around the eyes has subsided. Smells delicious. Lasts for a long time, exactly as promised.
I have been purchasing this serum for a long time. It lasted me a long time! And now, when I went to look for it again, it's not available ((((( The results are instant! Just a minute after application, the puffiness and dark circles are significantly reduced. This magical product is perfect for those who are over 35 )))))
It works, and it works instantly. It smoothes out expression lines and illuminates the skin from within.
Of course, it won't eliminate dark circles if they are genetic, but it will make the under-eye area look more "refreshed".
I didn't buy it here because I found it cheaper elsewhere.
The serum really works, and you can immediately notice the brightening effect around the eye area where it is applied. I was pleasantly surprised, especially because my home is well-lit, so everything is visible. However, if you have dim lighting, you might not even notice the difference unless you apply some cream on top.
I do not see any results whatsoever.
No changes were made.
I have been using this serum for several months now, and it really works. My skin has become more firm, fresh, vibrant, and nourished. By the way, I am 42 years old. I am surprised by the comments from girls who expect miracles from just one serum. Any skin requires a comprehensive approach, and no serum can hide the effects of your indulgent eating habits. This serum deserves a solid five-star rating, just like all the other products from this brand. They all work effectively, the key is to choose and combine them correctly.
I forgot to include a rating in my previous comment.
The serum is nothing special. I have been using it for almost six months, but it hasn't reduced my puffiness.
