People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 2.6k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this product is frequently praised for its deeply hydrating and non-greasy formula that effectively plumps fine lines and improves skin elasticity around the eye area, making it suitable for dry and sensitive skin. Some users with oily or acne-prone skin found the texture too heavy, occasionally leading to clogged pores or milia.

- “I've used this for 3 months and my fine lines have noticeably softened.”
- “Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with adenosine.”
Causes milia Rarely Noted
- “For my under eye area it was a tad too buttery and I ended up getting milia.”
- “Be cautious when using it on other areas if you have acne-prone or seborrheic skin, as it may worsen blemishes.”

Thick consistency Rarely Noted
