@RiriThomas Lines under the eyes: no serum or cream can erase them. These lines are caused mostly by repeat facial expressions throughout our lives, and we all get ‘em eventually. If you want to drastically reduce some lines, you’ll need to see a dermatologist about in-office procedures. Make sure the derm is board certified (assuming you’re in the US): you want a doc who truly knows what they’re doing, especially when it involves the skin around your eyeballs. To soften your lines a bit, a couple ingredients that can help are low-strength retinol and argireline (a peptide that can theoretically reduce some muscle movement and, therefore, reduce the appearance of some lines). I’m in my 50s with prominent undereye lines, and The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% Serum for Facial Wrinkles 1 oz/ 30 mL has softened my lines quite a bit—but hasn’t erased them, because argireline can’t do that. Neither can retinol, since undereye skin is so dynamic and there’s no way you or I are gonna stop making facial expressions. 🙂 Gotta keep your expectations realistic. And be sure to use a broad spectrum sunscreen (at least SPF 30) each day your skin’s exposed to sunlight, all year long, regardless of weather or season. UV rays cause some wrinkes, among other things. Remember to bring sunscreen all the way up to your lash line. Dark circles: if your dark circles are genetic/hereditary or caused by sunken skin (hollow tear troughs; these “dark circles” are really shadows caused by sunken skin), then topical products (serums, creams) won’t do anything for them. You can see a dermatologist about getting injectable filler, though some docs refuse to do filler under the eyes and the procedure’s not cheap—especially since it must be redone every few months. Otherwise, makeup’s your best bet for genetic or sunken skin dark circles: color corrector and/or strategically placed concealer. Orangey or peachy color corrector will neutralize blue and blueish brown discoloration. Yellow color corrector works well for purple discoloration. Note that color corrector’s not meant to opaquely cover discoloration; it’s just supposed to neutralize/cancel it out. You could also just use a concealer with an orange, peach, or yellow undertone. On YouTube, Wayne Goss has a good tutorial on how to use concealer to hide eye bags. That trick’s also helpful for hollow tear troughs: it’s an optical illusion that makes that skin look less sunken. That’s what I do to mask my hollow tear trough shadows. If your dark circles are caused by UV damage, then a low strength retinol can reverse that hyperpigmentation. That’ll happen gradually; it’s not an overnight miracle, so consistency and patience are key. Have you already tried this with no results? If allergies and frequent eye rubbing are causing your dark circles, your allergy meds should help. So can a cold compress (refrigerated eye patches work well for this). And of course, try to not rub your eyes so often. If you’ve got dark circles caused by lack of sleep, cold compress helps here too, along with skincare products that contain caffeine and/or green tea.

I bought this and the brush gets very clumpy easily and the mascara tends to stick together. It looked fine once it was on but was very messy. Although I did love the final look and repurchased multiple times
