Review (5/5): It Helps
I have very prominent dark circles under my eyes. It is a hereditary condition that plagues many people in my family, and when I am stressed and not sleep well, my dark circles become especially pronounced. No matter what makeup product I used to try to cover up my dark circles, they always showed through. I decided to try “SOONPURE Retinol Eye Gel” in hopes that the product would help alleviate the darkness around my eyes enough for me to cover them with makeup.
This product is formulated to help eliminate eye bags in addition to treating undereye dark circles. Since I do not have an issue with undereye bags (I actually have the reverse issue – hollowed eyes), I can't speak for whether or not it works for that. However, I can say that this product does seem to encourage the blood circulation under my eyes and make them appear less tired and haggard. The ingredients are also said to repair and regenerate the sensitive skin around the eyes.
I have not been using this product long, but I do feel that the fine lines around my eyes are less pronounced after I use it. Since it contains retinol, a product proven to help with fine lines, I anticipate the long term effects to be quite positive. The short term effects are definitely promising so far. My dark circles do seem less pronounced, and I am able to cover them with makeup better. I am pleased with the results I am experiencing, and I really look forward to seeing what the long term results are.
I must disclose that this product was received at a discounted cost for my honest and unbiased review. My opinion was not altered due to the product being discounted. If I do not believe in a product, I will not give it a positive rating. Please leave a comment if you have any further questions. Thanks for taking the time to read my review!
