Effective and plays well with other products
This eye gel does help moisturize and goes on smoothly, and absorbs quickly. I purchased with the intention of helping with dark circles, little white dots under eyes, redness, and some color correction. Below I'll review each targeted goal.
I use this gel 2 times per day, morning and night, as part of a layered skin care routine. Layers are as follows: toner, essence, BHA, AHA, hydroquinone, serums, eye gel, lotion, aloe gel, then sunscreen for day. during night same steps, instead of sunscreen, use a sleep cream mask, and also a lip sleeping mask.
I do a double cleanse, with a micellar water first, then a foaming cream rice water cleanse.
Dark circles: 40% improvement, it does make you look more awake and plumps your eyes, somewhat. I did not see a dramatic improvement. By adding a vitamin K serum first, it dramatically improved the under eye darkness.
White dots: well...this was the main concern, and it did not improve this at all. There are some people with correctable dots which are plugged pores under eyes. For my situation, it was discovered that they are under the skin, and the only real solution to diminish them completely would be to get fillers or fat grafting. This directly came from my dermatologist. If you have white dots that are correctable with professional care, use a BHA a it deep cleans pores and can combat those little white dots deep in the pores.
Redness: does provide a decent amount of brightening effect and wakes the eyes up. But, does not dissipate any of the redness due to any capillaries or broken blood vessels. You need vitamin K for that type of correction.
Color correction: I had little remnants of some sun damage that i am trying to get rid of, and was . This offered some, but not a dramatic improvement. I'd say, over 90 days, would likely offer more dramatic results. But if you have only minimal damage remaining,and have lightened it significantly, like myself, you'll likely need more targeted treatments, including microderm, laser, or in office professional treatments. The spots are too faint and possibly will clear over the next few months. If you are first starting to try to remove dark spots and they are very far, this will dramatically improve the appearance of dark spots.
My overall take is that, while this product is not a cure all, it does offer some improvement, and with time can offer more dramatic results. This eye gel is more effective when paired with targeted treatments, and plays well with other skin care products.
For a nice soothing and more de-puffing effect, keep your eye gel in the fridge. Many serums are best kept cold, it makes them last longer, and the cold adds a nice calming feel, and helps with some puffiness. Highly encourage a cosmetics refrigerator for the more serious skin care fanatics out there. It's a game changer.
For a mid day 'pick me up' put some of this on if you're looking tired and it will perk your eyes up.
