  Pros

  The product has good moisture and doesn't have a strong scent, which made it convenient to use! The pump packaging was also appreciated for its hygienic aspect. After using it for a little over a week, I didn't notice any drastic changes, but my skin seems to have become slightly brighter! The best part is that since my eyes are quite sensitive, there is absolutely no irritation. The absence of eye stinging or discomfort when applying the product is its biggest advantage!

  Cons

  The pump packaging was a bit tricky to control the amount at first. It would sometimes dispense a large amount at once when pressed firmly. The thick texture means that you have to layer it in small amounts multiple times, otherwise it can feel heavily applied. It also takes a bit of patting to fully absorb, which is a minor inconvenience.

  Pros

  While there are not many wrinkles around the eyes, as a preventive measure, I diligently apply an eye cream like a go-to medication. Personally, I prefer a rich, viscous texture with a bouncy feel rather than a lightweight one. The Kiehl's Vitamin C Eye Serum is... @ Application: Compared to the eye creams or serums I've used before, the texture is quite unique. It's not exactly moisturizing or bouncy, but rather powdery. When I pump it onto the back of my hand, it feels hydrating, but when I apply it around the eyes, it has a matte yet hydrating feel, almost like a brightening spot cream. @ Feel and Effects: It doesn't sit on top of the eye area, but rather sinks in with a tapping motion, making the eye area look brighter. Even though the weather has been humid lately and the indoor humidity is quite high, I feel like it would be drying during seasonal changes. At first, I applied a bit too much because the pump dispenses a lot, which can cause the eye makeup to shift. The texture is such that a small amount can easily spread, so using too much can make it slip. @ Packaging and Convenience: Personally, I prefer ampoule-type applicators over creams, but the pump is difficult to control, sometimes dispensing too much product at once, which is frustrating. The 15ml size is very portable, but the plastic cap and body feel quite flimsy. @ Overall: I've tried many eye products, but this is my first time using Kiehl's, as well as a brightening dark circle product. The unique texture and the way it makes the eye area look brighter make me want to recommend it to my friends with dark circles.

  Cons

  1. If you don't control the amount well, it can cause the makeup to shift. 2. The volume is small compared to the price. 3. The packaging is very poor quality and fragile.

  Tip

  If you apply it thinly and tap it in, then layer it once more, the eye area will look brighter. However, you must use only a very small amount at a time!

  Pros

  The fact that you can apply vitamin C to the eye area was so great. At first, I was skeptical about how much vitamin C could be in an eye cream, but ascorbic acid is the 4th ingredient and it's a whopping 10%! Plus, it has peptides and hyaluronic acid, so it's really moisturizing. The volume may seem small compared to the price, but since you only need a small amount to cover the eyelids, I personally think it's a reasonable price. The lightweight formula is perfect for applying around the eyes.

  Cons

  Personally, I feel like I've found a holy grail product, but there is a lot of dimethicone in the ingredients, so it may feel a bit drying and mattifying for those with very dry eye areas. Those who dislike the silky finish of dimethicone may have a love-hate relationship with it. The ascorbic acid does have a slight sting, but it goes away quickly.

  Pros

  It was good that it was not irritating to the skin. It has a slightly thicker texture rather than a sticky feeling. The application was smoothly good. When applied to the eye area, which has the characteristic oily skin, it was absorbed refreshingly without any tightness or dryness the next day. However, there was an initial warm sensation, and I wondered if my hands were hot, but I felt the warm sensation when I applied the formula to my eyes. In fact, the warm sensation when patting it on seems to help with absorption, and I hardly felt any stickiness.

  Cons

  The spreadability was a bit disappointing. When applied directly to dry skin, it gave a slightly slippery (?) feeling, so I rolled it on the back of my hand to melt it a bit before applying it to the eye area. If you have a dry skin type, you should apply a generous amount of base skincare before using this.

  Tip

  Rolling it a bit on the back of your hand before applying seems to help it absorb faster without needing too much patting.
