Even as a teenager I had puffy eye problems at the slightest provocation (late nights, salty food, PMS etc.) When i hit my 40’s they turned into permanent multilevel eyebags with dark circles as a...

Unfortunately, this gave me a severe reaction that a patch test could not have foreseen. This irritated the capillaries under my eyes so much that they ended up bleeding. I started getting bruises...

First of, this product does very little/next to nothing for dark circles. I don't really get puffy eyes, but I have a feeling that the Caffeine Solution would help with it. It's drugstore-priced...

I'm on the fence about this. If I could give 2.5 lippies I would. I noticed that yes, it got rid of dark circles. It was hydrating and refreshing to my undereye area. For less than $10, this was...

Thin gel like consistency. Absorbs easily, feels nice and cooling. The assistant in Deciem was clear that this product would only give a temporary effect for a couple of hours but it sadly didn't...
