Etude House Goodbye Dark Circle Eye Cream REVIEW

Hello everyone! Hope you are all well~

Ok today i am reviewing the Goodbye Dark Circle Eyecream from Etude House. Pictures of the product are as follows -

Getting older (Im currently 19), late drunken nights out, unprotected exposure to the sun and not having the most healthiest diet are my unfortunate bad habits that have contributed to me now having dark eye circles. Like many others out there, I hate them and want to get rid of them by any means possible without covering them up (I dont use any kind of concealer). Whilst browsing Etude Houses online website I came accross this product and with the words 'Goodbye Dark Circles' I had to have it immediately.

Product Overview.
The active ingredients listed on the product are broccoli, slim tea complex (male tea, green coffee).

Into more detail...

Brocolli- Now I have never herd of this helping dark circles but after a little research, summed up is that broccolli is very high in Vitamin K. This Vitamin helps blood circulation and one of the causes of dark circles is poor circulation.

Slim tea complex & Mate tea - I unfortunately was unable to find any real information about either of these 2 ingredients. *failure*

Green Coffee - I think this ingredient fits in with the 'slim tea complex' claim as when I was researching the main results for Green Coffee were assosicated with weightloss and slimming. I couldnt find anything that linked this to dark eye circles, again Im sorry about not being so informative.

Appearance.
At first looking from the outside of the packet I thought the see threw tube like thing that came with the cream was a sort of serum? However it is a massage stick, pretty decieving eh?
Overall I find the packaging really cute, I like the pale yellow and little racoon/badger (not sure?) character on the front.

How I use it.
I apply this cream to my eye as directed after I have toned my skin with my regular toner. I dont really use the massage stick provided as I find that by using it i apply to much pressure to the eye area, which Im sure wont do me any good personally so I use my ring finger and apply a pea size amount of cream spreading onto both my eye lids and under my eyes. Then as in the diagrams on the packaging I then use my ring finger and massage in circular motions around my eyes then dot using the same fingers instead of the massage stick around my eyes 3 times gentley. Once done the cream would have been completely absorbed.

Results.
I have used this eye cream now for a week included with my night time skin routine. Does it work? well I have personally noticed my dark circles to have lightened slightly, with only 5 days usage and slight results already visible I would expect for my dark circles to improve further and become fairly unnoticeable. My mother and non blood related older sister have noticed improvements and wish to try this product for themselves also.

My Comments.
I do like this product as I have seen suttle changes in only a short amount of time. However when i do apply it to the skin around my eyes, it stings slightly though goes away as fast as it came but occurs for me with each application and Im generally not sensitive skinned, so to those of you with sensitive skin try at your own caution but i wouldnt recommend it on this basis.

On the bright side, the cream is a nice soft texture that drys and is absorbed by the skin quickly leaving the skin feeling soft with no sticky residue at all.

Verdict.
I would recommend this if people want a simple anti dark circle eye cream to fit in with there regular skin care routine.
I wouldnt buy this product again for myself as I personally would like to try a new anti-dark circle eye cream once this runs out. My next eye cream buy Im pretty sure will be Skin Peptoxil Intelligent Dark Circle Eraser.

Anymore questions about the product dont hesitate to get in contact with me, Im happy to help. ^^
