WE TRY, YOU BUY

The velvety-soft gel-cream has a slight iridescent sheen. The texture is a little richer than it looks, and I like that it melts instantly into my skin; the scent is subtle.

Right after applying the cream at bedtime, my eye area looks smoother. My lower lid feels slightly tighter too. When I wake up, my eyes look less tired – I’m impressed as this is after just one application.

After using it for a week, my eye area is looking pretty good. Dark circles are still obvious (the brand says to expect significant improvements in dark circles after one jar), but the area looks less tired and lined.

And if you’re already a fan of Lancome Advanced Genifique Light Pearl, Dr Black says it’s fine to use both, starting with Light Pearl.
