The first thing I did when I noticed a bit of darkness under my eyes was start getting more sleep. The second thing I did was get some of this eye cream. I have been completely satisfied with this product. It's quite emollient and goes on wet but soaks in quickly, leaving the skin soft and smooth. The scent is very light and unoffensive. I've gotten some in my eyes before, and I didn't notice any burning. I've had the tube for months, and I use it every morning and night. I don't know if my undereye darkness was remedied by my improved sleep habits, this cream, or a combination, but I have been very happy with it, and I'm sure I benefit from the moisturizing.
