* It ACTUALLY works!!!!
July 12, 2016
*”I’ve been struggling with dark circles my entire life, and to be fair, I’ve never really tried anything aside from make up to help my situation. But am I glad I did… I’ve always trusted Benefit and they did NOT disappoint. About a week, and my circles are the same color as the rest of my face. Well worth the $$”

I was looking for an eye cream I can use because I do not want to use a facial moisturizer not particularly formulated for the sensitive eye area. I usually stay up late for work but this cream removes the heaviness on my undereyes that I usually feel because of lack of sleep. I use this twice a day (morning & night). I just really hope this comes in a squeeze tube or something other than a pot which is not very hygienic.
2 months agoI bought this because of the reviews I read here and outside of Beautymnl. It's very expensive so I had my fingers crossed. I have deep set eyes, prone to scratching my eyes due to allergy, and I think it's somehow genetic? Regardless, dark circles have ALWAYS been my problem since childhood. The formula is lightweight and does make the skin under my eyes hydrated. But other than that I did not see any noticeable effects in terms of lightening my dark circles or even any improvement on my lines. Im disappointed that my 2 grand was for nothing.
3 months agoI was really surprised by how effective this eye cream was, especially since Benefit isn't necessarily known for their skincare line. Compared to the other eye creams I have tried, this is the most effective. I've noticed that my under eyes are brighter and well hydrated. Even if I don't get enough sleep, I manage to look rested. It doesn't just sit on your skin but sinks in really well. It's been easier to apply makeup on my under eyes because it doesn't crease anymore. I first got a small sample of this but I was so impressed with the results that I bought the full sized version!
10 months agoI had a mini version of this and it surprisingly worked! Benefit isn't really known for their skincare so I was a little skeptical about this. I don't really have dark circles under my eyes, but my eyes tend to get puffy. I noticed that my eyes got brighter and less puffy with just one use. It smells really good, too! I wish it came in a pump instead though, because I don't really like the thought of dipping my fingers in a pot, since bacteria tends to grow more there. Pumps are definitely the most sanitary and hygienic way to go. Might repurchase in the future.
12 months agoI just got a sample of this It's Potent! Eye Cream when I purchased a few things from the Benefit counter years back and I can still remember how much I adored this eye cream. I like that it is moderately thick but it sinks right into my skin. It is not greasy in any way. It performs well under make up too. It is very hydrating and really potent.
12 months agoI bought Origins Ginzing eye cream and I have got to say, this one worked twice as better! It got rid of my milia, and it gave my under eyes hydration that I never knew could be possible. Also, it works well with makeup application because it makes the skin around the eye area so smooth it feels like a baby’s butt! Going to repurchase for sure!
