Claims:
Roll away under-eye puffiness and dark circles for brighter, more radiant eyes. Caffeine decongests puffiness and diminishes dark circles. Pro-Vitamin B5 refreshes and hydrates the delicate eye area.
 
Review:
The best part of this product is the metal roller-ball applicator, which glides along the curvature of the undereye area with ease, depositing a thin layer of water-based liquid. The two ingredients associated with reducing puffiness and dark circles are escin (a component of horse chestnut), due to its circulation-stimulating abilities, and caffeine, due to its constricting abilities. Regrettably, neither ingredient’s association with reducing puffy eyes has any solid research to support the claim, although both are notable antioxidants (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). This does have a temporary smoothing and tightening effect on skin, but not to the extent that puffy eyes will be visibly deflated. The mica casts a slight shimmer on skin, which reflects light away from dark circles, but a concealer would work much better. At best, this is a novel way to apply a light film of moisture-binding agents and antioxidants to skin. The fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types.
