Good
I don't see a huge difference but I do like how hydrating this is. Sometimes I feel like it works and other times it seems to not do much. I don't have sensitive skin and there was no irritation. I'll keep using it more for how lightweight hydrating it is than for dark circles.

easy to over do it
I can't really say it's been effective at reducing my dark circles, since I haven't seen much of a difference. however it hasn't caused any irritation which is good. Unfortunately it's SUPER easy to accidentally use too much, and then when it dries it tightens on your skin a little like glue so it pulls weird, stays tacky, and comes off in little white rolls like bad sunscreen that look really dumb if you don't realize and you're out and about🤦 I accidentally walked around looking like I had severe eye boogies for like an hour before I caught a glimpse of my reflection and realized 😭 I have no idea how I'm going to use all of this up before the expiration date if I can only put on the tiniest amount, and when it's not super evident it's helpful.

Tried for the first time
I have very bad dark circles under my eyes and thought I would give this product a try. I hate how they look with and without concealer. I have and will continue to use the Ordinary products that I used before and will tell my friends about these

My holy grail
As a girly with genetic eye bags, I’ve tried EVERYTHING you name it, every “depuffing” eye cream to freezing black tea bags to help with my puffy eyes. I’ve used this serum for years and it’s the only thing that actually works and keeps my eyes from looking puffy all day.

My bags and dark circles came back when I switched to this
I was using the StriVectin Super-C serum for my dark circles and bags, and they were almost completely gone- I was so happy. However…when I ran out I bought the Ordinary caffeine serum and my bags came back worse than before. I look so tired and crazy, this serum does nothing. I'll never waste my money on this again- I don't think any of their products work to be honest as an aesthetic nurse.

A must have in my skin care routine
I struggled to find an eye serum that actually helped with my dark circles. Ive been using this for a month or so and my dark circles are almost non existent now! The formula is a little tacky and a little drop goes a long way but this stuff actually works for me. 10/10 recommend

Good enough for me and clean ingredients
This product seems to work well enough to make a difference. The under-eye baggage isn't completely gone but it helps with little wait time. Here is an example with results in 2 minutes. Im sure with daily use and combining other serums and good hydration and diet, they will improve even more. Tip: Go with the “just a dot, not a lot” saying. A little bit goes a long way.

Recieved used product
This product was clearly used and returned. The bottle was one third empty and there were crusty drip marks on the bottle, however no leakeage was present in the box. Not only is it horrible that someone would use and return a product meant to be used on the EYES, but Target should inspect all returned personal and cosmetic products before reselling. Come on Target, you can do better than this!

This is literally the only product that's ever worked
Let me preface by saying, I don't write reviews. I've also tried nearly everything on the market for dark circles and puffiness. THIS. WORKS. I was shocked that after a week of use, my dark circles were almost gone, and so was puffiness.

Don't waste your money or time
Doesnt work for puffiness or wrinkles in my opinion makes them more noticeable. Would definitely not recommend. Bottle is almost gone and i hate wasting products and cant return. Just a big let down

Magic in a bottle!!
I had bought this product a few months ago to try out, but it sat in my cabinet because I forgot about it. I just started using it a few days ago and I'm already pleasantly impressed with the results. I inherited dark under eyes from my mother and I have a toddler. IYKYK. I use this in the morning and evening before moisturizer and I can instantly see a difference with the dark circles. It actually makes me look well rested LOL. All in all I am happy with this serum.

Eh… it's okay.
I feel this prodyct had potential. It cause irritation ans dryness to my undereye area. I used for a week. I tried to stick it out because I know it takes at least 28 minimum to see if a product os truly working, but it did not work out for me.
