Great for the whole face

Although it didn't help with my dark circles like advertised, it works wonders in reducing puffiness, especially if using it in the AM like I usually do. I actually apply it all over my face, leaving it feeling smooth and great overall, also thanks to its consistency, which is almost gel-like and not greasy at all.

Good for puffy eyes, not sure for dark circle

Around 3 weeks of application, so here's my thoughts.

The good:
* effective for my puffy eyes. my main concern upon buying is actually my puffy eyes. i can see that this has visibly reduced my puffiness.

On the fence:
* not sure if it does anything for my dark circle. i don't have a very distinct dark circle to begin with, so its hard to tell.

The bad:
* mild irritation for the first few days of application. maybe i used a tad too much? but there's no more irritation after that few days.

It alright

Ive been using this for a few weeks now, every morning and night. But i still have not really seen a difference in my under eyes. i will continue using it though. there is no harsh scent and it feels nice and makes my under eye area soft and hydrated. I just wish there was more of a difference. i still have bags and dark circles
