Product Information

An intensive eye serum that expertly targets dark circles and puffiness while addressing fine laugh lines around the eye area. Perfectly created with optimum concentrations to effectively address the three most common eye concerns; puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. Suitable for all ages this eye product delivers, a firmer, brighter eye area with a reduction in wrinkles.

There are four main triggers of Dark Circles

  1. Lymphatic – as a result of poor drainage, a build up of fluids creates the dark circles. Caffeine + Peptides can assist.
  2. Muscular – when there has been a substantial amount of fat loss in the face area, the muscles in the peri-orbital area become visible. These muscles are brown and can present as dark circles. Product application cannot assist.
  3. Pigmentation – is as a result of over active melanocytes. In this case 2% Alpha Arbutin + Hyperbrite Complex can assist.
  4. Vascular – Vasodilation can occur which creates dark circles. Product application cannot assist.

I have truly seen a difference in the file lines around my eye. The dark circles are taking a bit longer to fade, but this powerhouse will surely address this.

I bought the 5ml for starters and it’s been a month using it so even a small one can last you for a month since I only use it around my eyes and I’m consistent with it cause I naturally have dark circles/ pigmentation so my eyes haven’t entirely lightened up to where i want but so far I can see the progress slowly so

I am absolutely thrilled with this caffeine serum! It has truly transformed my skin and made it look and feel more energized and refreshed than ever before. After just a few day of using this serum, I could see a noticeable difference in the appearance of my skin.

So far so good. I haven't been using it long enough to have seen a noticeable change. however, I think overall it has slightly lightened the dark rings under my eyes. Its only been about 1 month of usage, so I'm sure that as times go on I will see a more noticeable change. Just so glad that Skin Functional has products targeting these concerns as the dark circles under my eyes have always been an issue of mine.

I had very dark circles under my eyes and couldn't leave the house without wearing concealer or people would comment on how tired I look. Since using this product I can see a drastic improvement, I would recommend this product.
