Had high hopes for this after reading reviews online but I'm not seeing much results from this. On application there seems to be a tightening effect on the eye area but there isn't much...

Alas this product did nothing for me. I bought it predominantly to address the puffiness under my eyes and address the slight darkness on my eyelids but it didn't even give a temporary improvement...

This stuff turned minor puffiness into major crepey skin. Gave me more wrinkles, not even a good eye cream could help with it. Poured the rest into my body lotion.
