Kiehl's Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate

Kiehl's Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate PHP 2,550

I was desperately on the search for an eye cream that was gonna help lighten my dark circles, which is my biggest under eye concern. I went into Kiehl's and told the sales lady what I was on the search for and she introduced me to this tiny sample size looking tube. I read the description on the packaging and I was sold, I trusted her opinion and Kiehls' reputation and purchased it on a whim, despite it's steep price and without doing any research beforehand. Now that I own it and have used it for a couple of weeks - I really wish I read reviews first!

The actual product has a slightly greasy texture and takes awhile to sink in, it's light enough for the day but I prefer to use this during the nighttime. It also has a warming effect upon contact with the skin that I quite like. From the few weeks that I've used this, I've noticed that my dark circles have improved a bit. As for the fine-lines, I haven't noticed any difference yet. Most of my fine-lines are near my lower lash line, but I try to avoid applying the product too near my eyes because it irritates it and makes it itchy, so perhaps that's why? Another thing that I've noticed is that if I stop using it for a bit, my dark circles rise from the dead so unfortunately, I don't think the brightening effects are permanent.

I do like it and will continue to use it, but I admit I expected more from this product and that I don't think it's worth the money. I doubt that I'll be repurchasing this again, but instead continue my search for a cheaper eye cream that will work better for me. Sorry Kiehl's!

Any eye cream recommendations for dark circles?
