Really? To me it’s exactly the opposite. I wake up with dark hollow eyes and they get lighter when I take hydration and food to me. But then later in the day they sink , but I will get hyaluronic acid injections , takes all my confidence lately
Thank you so much for all this information 😍😍 I did a similar experiment and guess what? Did work neither 😂😂 Yes please!!! I would love to watch the entire interview with Dr. Scott🤗🤗
For all the people who have naturally dark or deep under eyes I just wanna say you are lovely and some people think that's just as gorgeous as any other part of your face :)
No is not i have dark circles i look like sick or didnt sleep one year or have really some bad desease i have always to wear sunglasses or put lot of fondation and make up 😞
I’ve been asked if I was punched, if I have black eyes, because my under eyes are that dark a purple, they almost look black. It’s very lovely of you to be so nice, but for those of us who deal with super dark circles, it’s something that can really have a negative effect. I’ve never found a colour corrector or concealer that covers them. And I’ve been looking for 20 years.
I got undereye darkness when I worked night shifts in my late 20s - I never used to have them, they were definitely not genetic they were a consequence of 'lifestyle' (that sounds so leisurely - I worked my ass off as an immigrant in the only job I could get) and this serum has dramatically reduced dark circles for me.
I am 40 years old, I started taking care of my skin in my 20s with a simple 3-step routine, at 23 I started using creams for the first signs of aging, the eye contour, serums and sunscreen ... Today I can say that having used creams for the eye contour has been a better decision than not having used them instead, I see my friends and cousins my age who have not bothered about the issue and the difference is very noticeable. In my experience I am happy that I have prevented rather than wait 20 years to see if they could have made a difference. Trying a product for 2 months is not the same as taking care of your skin for 20 years
This product is a lifesaver for me especially any time I have cried and need to go somewhere or if my eyes are puffy from crying the night before. Such a big difference within a few minutes!
I wasnt particularly interested in this product before, but this comment has me wanting to get it now lmaoo😭😭 this woulda saved my ass the other day when I was ugly sobbing right before walking into target smh
I’ve been using the caffeine serum for three years, and my dark circles have completely disappeared (they did in the first six months). I definitely swear by it. I do need a separate eye cream for hydration, though.
may i ask if your dark circles were sleep related or if they were constantly there? because mine are permanent so many products dont work as well for me as they do for people that don't sleep right
Personally, I visited their store and the salesperson was transparent about it being a temporary solution. I use it in the morning when I find that my under-eye area looks dark but never expected long term results and it helps with my dark circles :)
I'm really sorry to hear that you have nightmares from childhood trauma that's really sad :( I hope you are able to subconsciously move past it enough to never dream about it ever again! Stay safe love xx
I had dark circles that came primarily from lifestyle and this product removed them almost entirely and my lifestyle hasn't changed at all: 100% recommend
@@user-xk9xm1iy8k hey! I didn't have any puffiness when I started using the product, I only had quite intense dark circles so I cannot say for certain if it will help you with your specific issue. I started seeing results after 1 month or so

I've used this most morning, for the past year and find it reduces puffiness significantly and I can actually feel my eyes becoming less tired. Not a fan of the consistency, which can be a bit tacky until it fully sinks in. Never used it for wrinkles, hydration or dark circles (which I find are diet/sleep related). I'm a guy, almost 40 and I have zero crows feet and a very faint expression line, under each eye. Since starting eye care a few years ago, I've used Elemis pro collagen eye treatment, Estee Lauder Eye Repair, Clarins super restorative & and for the past 10months, Niod Fractionated Eye Concentrate. Loved them all.
i have this and actually dont really care anymore. Think of that as something unique to your face. If you stop trying to hide it you will start liking that feature about yourself or at least dont care anymore :)
Same i got those as well. Used to want to get fillers because im so insecure about it. And it makes me look tired and its especially worse in certain light fixtures and pictures. Makes me look hella tired. But you know what at least we can get away of not sleeping and still look little to close to our usual self.
I’ve always struggled with dark under eyes and I have to say the product works for me! I’ve been using it for about a month and a half now and noticed a change within a few weeks of using it. Of course, I do have very dark under eyes, so maybe, like you said, that is the reason I’ve noticed a bigger change than others!
I love the fact you add comments from a pro who explains like you everything very clearly and helps us to identify the real issue we have. Brillant, I'd love to see the entire conversation. At my 30's I really want to take the right direction before doing something wrong and eventualy mess up my skin
So I know you don’t really like eye cream, but could you do a video on the best eye cream for each problem base on ingredients? I think it would help a lot of us
Interestingly this product was one of those that actually made me see changes rather significantly. It reduced the purple color under the eyes and I think also some of the puffiness. I didn't have very strong puffiness though, I mostly took it for the color. I applied it twice a day. I didn't know it has benefits as a full face serum, tell me more about that please
Agreed. This is actually my favorite Ordinary product. I've seen a huge difference over the last three years that I've been using it. I first saw changes after a few weeks, and if I don't use it for a few days I can tell. I'm 36, and I started using it at 33.
i don't always use it twice a day, but same, it's lessened dark circles heaps. I also feel my 'under the eyelid' is less wrinkly. Also experienced more lash growth (I lost my lashes a few years ago due to intense medical treatment, and they were pretty sparse when starting to grow back). Been using it for about 4 months? I don't find it helps with puffiness as that for me is a sinus/lymphatic drainage issue. My main reason for not using my face moisturiser in eye area I do experience milia more frequently. (I'd love if you could discuss milia in detail, Cassandra!) Weirdly enough, when I used it on some beginning fine lines as suggested by Cassandra, it didn't really do much, but am on a baby retinol which seems to be helping better. Though I might try the caffeine serum on broken capillaries around my mouth and nose as she suggested :)
Yess!! You can put it in your face! The coffee does wonders to the skin...but im glad it worked for your dark circles... im thinking of buying it just to see if it works for me. As you i dont much puffiness, its just really dark.
This also can be used with vitamin c and niacinamide helping more to the skin to get the brightness that we all want it. Im going to buy it. Wish me luck!
4:55 Childhood traumas and things like PTSD: it can sound like a very benign step in treatment, but taking care of ourselves through skincare can be really therapeutic. I’ve noticed that myself. 🦋💗🌸
I use this everywhere and what I’ve found it helping with is it tightens under my eyes and it has helped with broken capillaries around my nose... thankyou beautiful for another great video 💋xxxxxxxxxx
Yes! I’m 52 and I’ve been using it all over my face too including, jawline and under my chin for 2 years and I can tell a difference without it. To each his own.
@@AngelLuluBlu what basically are you using for wrinkles puffiness and dark circles around the eyes I have puffiness around eyes and it makes me look tired
I LOVE this product! I often wake up with puffy eyes in the morning, and this is the only product I have ever tried that actually works (and I have tried all the expensive brands!). I put it on, and five minutes later the puffiness is reduced. By the time I get out the door, it's completey gone. - so Thank you Cassandra for introducing me to this product :)
This is by far the best video on this topic I've seen online. Detailed yet to the point explanation, referencing studies and going out of the way to include experts for validation. Truly grateful for the kind of content you make. I suffer from festoons or malar bags which seem to have a similar concept. I will definitely start off with this and let you know how I feel ❤
i have never been so insecure by a woman before. you are one of the most brilliant incredible gorgeous soft spoken woman i’ve seen on youtube ughh i cant stop watching u
I actually fine this incredibly useful for reducing the puffiness of my eyelids and around my eyes. I was actually starting to consider surgery because I hated it to much, so this product has been a big game changer for me.
The best thing to get rid of shadow under the eye, is lighting! I look at myself in different lights and I look dramatically different in each one. Kinda freaks me out lol. I have that product and many others from The Ordinary, and I like them. Some you can't get in Canada though, not sure why. Very informative video, but then again they ALL are.
i use this and i personally have dark circles. it does help with that a little bit, i saw results after about 2 weeks (not that drastic). but for me it doesn't get rid off the problem but it can reduce a lot of that discoloration
I also struggle with dark under eye circles and have sleep disorders. Thank you for sharing! I tried this before and didn’t notice a difference. I think it is my anatomy and I embrace that now. :)
I'm so sorry you had trauma that causes you occasional nightmares! I've had trauma too (Luckily, no dreams), but I wanted to say that I love your videos and you are very bright and so informative. Do keep smiling ☺️.
This is the only eye cream I've found that actually reduced my purple bruise-like undereyes. It may not work for everyone, but this was a product that performed better for me than much more expensive eye creams.
I've been using this since early May this year, still a quarter more to the bottom. Although I did get it to try my luck with some minor puffiness and fine lines, I can't say this bottle contributed 100% to changes in that area because 1. I cold compress, 2. The lines were not so bad to start off with so moisturisation helped, and 3. I apply SPF religiously too. Then I stumbled upon that video you posted, and I started applying on other areas on my face, all over my neck and stomach (I developed major lines on my belly area due to pregnancy and post birth I shrunk to my petite size again with LINES across my belly 😂). Now this I have to report helped. Just like you said, I used it like a serum. With its price, I have no complains, just happy to have become a more knowledgeable consumer with less lines, thanks to you, Cassandra. ❤️❤️. Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it. Oh, yes, I'd like to see that video of yours interviewing the doctor please!
I also use it for this purpose! I also put it on my butt and breasts - I breastfed exclusively for over a year. I can see much more of a difference on my body than my face. Even my husband has commented it :)
I’ve never tried anything specifically for the eyes until I ordered a wishtrend box that included the Klairs fundamental eye butter. I really enjoy it. It has a few different types of peptides in it I believe. Doesn’t feel heavy or sticky at all. Truthfully I wouldn’t have purchased it, but since it was in the box and highly discounted, it’s definitely a product I enjoy using. Could you look into that product please?
Been using this as under eye cream for like 3 months now, it made a lot of difference. It has reduced the puffiness. It also has brightened my under eye 🥰
I swear by this product. Cannot say exactly how it makes my undereyes look better, but if I stop using it for 2+ days, I instantly get very dark undereye circles and puffiness. Tested this 3 times for different lengths of not using it, because I, too, was not convinced it dis anything.
NIOD Survival 0 uses a form of fractionated melanin tailored to absorb light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelengths. Being NIOD part of DECIEM, just like The Ordinary, I assume they use the very same ingredient. I would love to see the whole conversation with Dr. Miller
@@saintetienne755 I just received that eye serum to try it out but I haven't used it yet, hope it does something for me though. That stuff costs a fortune for what it is.
@@parisiaeka5159 If we don't have chemical compounds such as melanin or UV filters to absorb and filter the radiation our skin will do it instead. Our skin absorbs sunlight for things like vitamin D synthesis, but it being an organ makes it subject to degradation and formation of cancerous skin cells, that's why we use SPF. Melanin is not a UV filter per say but a pigment, which helps in defending our skin cells from UV radiation. That's why we tan when we stay in the sun, because our body reacts to its exposure to sunlight by creating this pigment, melanin, in our skin in order to "defend" itself.
Allergies are my cause for bagginess so I know I just need to go to a derm whenever they start to really bug me. I am really intriged by that caffeine solution as a serum🤩
I've been using the Ordinarys caffeine eye cream for a while, and it seemed to tighten up all the wrinkles and lines under my eyes, to the point if I don't use it I can tell...I'm hooked
I used TO Caffeine and found it didn't do anything to my under-eye puffiness which is from aging. I've been using The Inkey List Caffeine serum for a couple of years because it works a little better on my skin.
Valuable information. I am one of those that always had little eye bags, even as a kid. Now at 58 I keep hoping for that miracle cream cure because it’s so much worse now. Tried this serum, did nothing. Working with acceptance instead. (and good health, etc)
Hey, look up Beauty by Anne Marie where she uses a Nivea Q10 serum for bags. They don't sell this serum in stores anymore so I had to get it off of Amazon (I didn't buy it through her store but made sure I had the correct one because there are 2 different ones so make sure you get the right one, it's pricy at $24). I've used that Q10 serum under my eyes for 2 months and it actually has helped my bags. I've had bags since I was 15. I had to be persistent and use the serum 1-4x/week for 2 months and it's finally showing results
i used this product for a long time and I actually liked it. The hydration was very good and it did brighten my under eye area. I am using Sunday Riley Auto Corrector but I will be back to The Ordinary eye cream.
I’m on my third bottle and I haven’t payed close attention to the change tho i went in the bathroom after your video and realized I don’t have any puffiness. Though I still have dark circles. I’ll be paying closer attention as I continue to use so many of The Ordinary products. Thanks Cassandra! Hoping to find more of The Ordinary products on your channel.
I think it works. You say that you don’t see any improvement; but you can actually see it. Your eyes did look less puffy. The product will help but the key component is to get good night sleep as well.
I'm impressed you said Epicalifragilisticexpialadotiousalate in one go side note: Puffy undereyes looks youthful, korean makeup includes lining the "undereye smile" with some eyeshadow then filling it in with a glittery eyeshadow. I've been using Dear Dahlia's eye sequins for that and I think it's REALLY beautiful. :) Try it (specifically called Aegyo Sal)
I have used many products for my dark circles but i can tell you dermalmd under eye serum is one is my favourite among all, the reason behind that it is fast reactive towards the dark circles also it’s price is quite decent. MUST buy for under eye pigmentation💕💕
I also tried this for puffy and bluish circles seriously for about a month with no change but what did help with mine was gentle vibrating massage. Be patient, consistent and unfortunately continuous.....like for the rest of your life lol
I've been using this product for a few months now and I havent seen Major Major difference but i have seen improvements for sure. Especially since i have such a fair conplexion, ive seen this help enough *for my personal preference* with some of the shadow and puffiness in my under eye. Which has been an insecurity of mine for years, and this product even though it hasnt done miracles, it has helped. But definitely takes a lot of time to see some results in my opinion.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you put into these videos! You help so many of us! Also, thank you for not making aging a crime. I don’t want to age quickly but I also don’t want to be 60 with zero wrinkles. With all your tips I hope to age gracefully! 💓
I just want to right you Cassandra that I have been watching your every video and i am so suprised that someone is so harismatic and well educated and still so dron to post a video on youtube, you are so insparing for me personel to learn more about ingridians and just imyoing routin,skin routin. I am from beauty industry,thats my proffesion and thank you for sharing!
Lymphatic drainage massage for the eyes is great! Exuviance eye smoother for $40 is great containing hyaluronic acid and polyhydroxy acid, kept in the refrigerator to depuff is also another eye trick. I'm a Skin Care Specialist too! I'm new to your channel but I'm enjoying it!!!
You should have done only one eye to be able to compare throughout the day and everything I bought the retinol eye cream and I think it's really helped with wrinkles Also, your hair looks so beautiful 😻
For some reason I don't understand the science that my teachers tell but I understand EVERY SINGLE thing that Cassandra says when she talks about the skin science. She makes science actually kinda fun and interesting
I am 51. Have not had many skin issues. I do love this stuff primarily for maintenance. Not to mention that it feels really good compared to lotion type eye creams. Cost is great as well.
Love this content. I do enjoy the TO caffeine and just work in with my moisturiser. My underwyes are super dark no matter how much or little I sleep but that's just my genetics and ofc being 29 now trying to use more stuff to prevent and self-care/ slow down daily routines. IF this pandemic taught me anything was to sit back and stop running around like a chicken with my head cut. Thanks for bringing so many great videos lately.
@@bawddor3831 hey! As I mentioned,it's genetic so really haven't found something that lightened that zone. In general, my skin is clear and more radiant so it's nice with just a bit of concealer on the dark circles.
To all who have puffy under eyes: I think they are really cute. Do not feel the need to change it. They are adorable and there are a lot of people who think they cute and envy you guys 🥰
I started using the snail mucin about a month ago and apply it under my eyes as well. I started seeing how bright my under eyes are. I also use a hyaluronic acid roll on and have been for about a year, so it wasn't from that. I am super satisfied with the snail mucin. My face glows, my under eye is looking amazingly good.
I dont use eye serums as a treatment but as a primer. Lets me explain, most days I dont war foundation but I like to wear some concealer underneath my eyes. My concealer showcase the dryness of my undereye as the day goes by but I noticed that when i apply my serum un the morning it looks good the whole day. I haven't noticed any improvement on the skin hence why I dont see it as a treatment but hey as a concealer primer I love it. I use the revolution caffeine and HA serum.
I use it in a similar manner. I also noticed that my eyes FELT less puffy, not so tight and stretched. I don’t think it’s really having any effect on dark circles but I use it in the morning too and like using it that way
I've had puffy blue/purple under eyes my whole life that look similar to yours, even when I was a kid. Its just how my face is! But I have just about ZERO crows feet so I'll take it. I too have never believed eye creams we're necessary, I just use whatever I use on the rest of my face.
Okay, let me just start off by saying personally, as a Premed student, I very much appreciate the way your posts have a more than a generous amount of scientific or research enriched content. Thank you for educating and continuing to post!! This was a great video per usual my dear 😊!!
The way you deliver knowledge and the dedication you put on creating these videos makes me feel cared for and actually supported, tysm! Also, i can't seem to find the video where you speak about the caffeine solution for the whole face. How is it called?
I bought this product recently and I’ve noticed a difference already after only using it for about 3 weeks that it appeared to make my under eyes lighter.
I go to a board certified plastic surgeon who does botox underneath my eyes for these bulges/bags and fine wrinkles. It has seriously changed my life. I went in for a consult ready to spend $600 on a syringe of filler, but my surgeon mentioned I had puffiness, not hollowness, so I didn't need filler. Sounds scary, but my injector does 2 units of botox under each eye, once every 6 months. It comes out to $60 or so, and I absolutely love it! Im not saying you ladies need it but I just wanted to share because it costs less than an expensive eye cream with amazing results! ❤
I'm on my 2nd bottle of this. I have found that my eye bags went from luggage to tote bags. I'm 64 so I'm happy with that.
🤣🤣🤣

Fourth eye problem: Under eye hollowness.
Unfortunately, the only solution for that is hyaluronic acid fillers.
I call mine 'secret chamber of beauty', just to feel better 💃
I guess after this comment they are not secret anymore 😅

Fillers actually make it look WORSE if your fat pads separate which happens to a lot of people as they age.
Same i got those as well. Used to want to get fillers because im so insecure about it. And it makes me look tired and its especially worse in certain light fixtures and pictures.

She's done a video similar to that. Check out her June video "before wasting more money on eye creams...", she recommends some in the description box.
I use this everyday! It helps the puffiness I get around my eyes from allergies. It’s brightened and opened up my eyes so much 👀
Did you use it two times a day! Before bedtime and after waking up?
Interestingly this product was one of those that actually made me see changes rather significantly. It reduced the purple color under the eyes and I think also some of the puffiness. I didn't have very strong puffiness though, I mostly took it for the color. I applied it twice a day.
I didn't know it has benefits as a full face serum, tell me more about that please
How long does it take to notice a difference with purple color under the eyes?
Agreed. This is actually my favorite Ordinary product. I've seen a huge difference over the last three years that I've been using it. I first saw changes after a few weeks, and if I don't use it for a few days I can tell.
I'm 36, and I started using it at 33.
i don't always use it twice a day, but same, it's lessened dark circles heaps. I also feel my 'under the eyelid' is less wrinkly. Also experienced more lash growth (I lost my lashes a few years ago due to intense medical treatment, and they were pretty sparse when starting to grow back). Been using it for about 4 months? I don't find it helps with puffiness as that for me is a sinus/lymphatic drainage issue. My main reason for not using my face moisturiser in eye area I do experience milia more frequently. (I'd love if you could discuss milia in detail, Cassandra!)
Weirdly enough, when I used it on some beginning fine lines as suggested by Cassandra, it didn't really do much, but am on a baby retinol which seems to be helping better. Though I might try the caffeine serum on broken capillaries around my mouth and nose as she suggested :)
Yess!! You can put it in your face! The coffee does wonders to the skin...but im glad it worked for your dark circles... im thinking of buying it just to see if it works for me. As you i dont much puffiness, its just really dark.
This also can be used with vitamin c and niacinamide helping more to the skin to get the brightness that we all want it. Im going to buy it. Wish me luck!
4:55 Childhood traumas and things like PTSD: it can sound like a very benign step in treatment, but taking care of ourselves through skincare can be really therapeutic. I’ve noticed that myself.

❤
I use this everywhere and what I’ve found it helping with is it tightens under my eyes and it has helped with broken capillaries around my nose... thankyou beautiful for another great video 💋xxxxxxxxxx
What differences have you seen with the broken capillaries? Are they just less noticeable?
Yes! I’m 52 and I’ve been using it all over my face too including, jawline and under my chin for 2 years and I can tell a difference without it. To each his own.
@@AngelLuluBlu what basically are you using for wrinkles puffiness and dark circles around the eyes
I have puffiness around eyes and it makes me look tired
@@AngelLuluBlu so it did tighten your jawline ?
I LOVE this product! I often wake up with puffy eyes in the morning, and this is the only product I have ever tried that actually works (and I have tried all the expensive brands!). I put it on, and five minutes later the puffiness is reduced. By the time I get out the door, it's completey gone. - so Thank you Cassandra for introducing me to this product :)
Which product do you mean please?? With the caffeine?
How did you use a bottle and a half in 2
months I’m still using the same bottle since like august 😂😂
AND IM NOT EVEN LIKE HALFWAYYY 🤣🤣
Exactly. When I used tha serum (It is not a cream), it lasted months.
@@leila77 maybe she’s using a lot like... a lot
I’m using the bottle from august, I’m not even halfway.
Maybe it’s not about completing the whole bottle, maybe she used the caffeine solution for 2 months 🤔 to note the difference
This is by far the best video on this topic I've seen online. Detailed yet to the point explanation, referencing studies and going out of the way to include experts for validation.
Truly grateful for the kind of content you make.
I suffer from festoons or malar bags which seem to have a similar concept.
I will definitely start off with this and let you know how I feel ❤
Love how you move the video along quickly but still loaded w good info. So ez to watch!
i have never been so insecure by a woman before. you are one of the most brilliant incredible gorgeous soft spoken woman i’ve seen on youtube ughh i cant stop watching u
Love the amount of details that went into the video. Appreciate the info that actually help us understand my skin better. Thanks
I actually fine this incredibly useful for reducing the puffiness of my eyelids and around my eyes. I was actually starting to consider surgery because I hated it to much, so this product has been a big game changer for me.
Thanks for commenting
We're ur eyebags puffy like a lot n u tried everything? If I could see how urs used to look like
The best thing to get rid of shadow under the eye, is lighting! I look at myself in different lights and I look dramatically different in each one. Kinda freaks me out lol. I have that product and many others from The Ordinary, and I like them. Some you can't get in Canada though, not sure why. Very informative video, but then again they ALL are.
That is because of your bone structure
Overhead lighting really accentuates the herniated fat pad under my L eye.
You’re the first one that I actually go through the whole video. I love how you explain things and be thorough 💜🤍☺️
i use this and i personally have dark circles. it does help with that a little bit, i saw results after about 2 weeks (not that drastic). but for me it doesn't get rid off the problem but it can reduce a lot of that discoloration
Same!
Arnica K helped tremendously with my dark circles
@@cynthialopez2084 which product do you use with Arnica K?
I’ve had great success using this cold from the refrigerator!
I also struggle with dark under eye circles and have sleep disorders. Thank you for sharing! I tried this before and didn’t notice a difference. I think it is my anatomy and I embrace that now. :)
I'm so sorry you had trauma that causes you occasional nightmares! I've had trauma too (Luckily, no dreams), but I wanted to say that I love your videos and you are very bright and so informative. Do keep smiling ☺️.
Yes, I would LOOVEEEE to see that full hour interview!
I Love how dedicated You are with skincare. I wish i loved myself more so i could take care a little bit more of me.
Google law of attraction
@@anonymousperson6805 oopoppopoppppppppppp
Absolutely have been loving all of this information and how you can hold me because of how real and just down to earth you are. Thank you again
This is the only eye cream I've found that actually reduced my purple bruise-like undereyes. It may not work for everyone, but this was a product that performed better for me than much more expensive eye creams.
I've been using this since early May this year, still a quarter more to the bottom. Although I did get it to try my luck with some minor puffiness and fine lines, I can't say this bottle contributed 100% to changes in that area because 1. I cold compress, 2. The lines were not so bad to start off with so moisturisation helped, and 3. I apply SPF religiously too. Then I stumbled upon that video you posted, and I started applying on other areas on my face, all over my neck and stomach (I developed major lines on my belly area due to pregnancy and post birth I shrunk to my petite size again with LINES across my belly 😂). Now this I have to report helped. Just like you said, I used it like a serum. With its price, I have no complains, just happy to have become a more knowledgeable consumer with less lines, thanks to you, Cassandra. ❤️❤️. Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it. Oh, yes, I'd like to see that video of yours interviewing the doctor please!
I also use it for this purpose! I also put it on my butt and breasts - I breastfed exclusively for over a year. I can see much more of a difference on my body than my face. Even my husband has commented it :)
I’ve never tried anything specifically for the eyes until I ordered a wishtrend box that included the Klairs fundamental eye butter. I really enjoy it. It has a few different types of peptides in it I believe. Doesn’t feel heavy or sticky at all. Truthfully I wouldn’t have purchased it, but since it was in the box and highly discounted, it’s definitely a product I enjoy using. Could you look into that product please?
👍🏿
Been using this as under eye cream for like 3 months now, it made a lot of difference. It has reduced the puffiness. It also has brightened my under eye 🥰
Did you use extra eye cream or only caffine solutions?
Please post the whole conversation with the doctor! I loved the little clip
I saw eye cream and clicked wayyyyyy too quickly💜
I swear by this product. Cannot say exactly how it makes my undereyes look better, but if I stop using it for 2+ days, I instantly get very dark undereye circles and puffiness. Tested this 3 times for different lengths of not using it, because I, too, was not convinced it dis anything.
@Nurhan Mhawe Works for me!
It works for dark sunken eyes and not baggy eyes! That’s my theory and it works for me because of this!
So you’re saying when you stop using it your dark circles come back?
@@reneealams yes
@@janjickamixy wow okay thanks
NIOD Survival 0 uses a form of fractionated melanin tailored to absorb light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelengths. Being NIOD part of DECIEM, just like The Ordinary, I assume they use the very same ingredient.
I would love to see the whole conversation with Dr. Miller
NIOD is massively expensive - I've tried several, including the eye stuff. And it's a 'no' from me. Saw zero benefit
@@saintetienne755 I just received that eye serum to try it out but I haven't used it yet, hope it does something for me though. That stuff costs a fortune for what it is.
why wud skin need to absorb light??
@@parisiaeka5159 If we don't have chemical compounds such as melanin or UV filters to absorb and filter the radiation our skin will do it instead. Our skin absorbs sunlight for things like vitamin D synthesis, but it being an organ makes it subject to degradation and formation of cancerous skin cells, that's why we use SPF. Melanin is not a UV filter per say but a pigment, which helps in defending our skin cells from UV radiation. That's why we tan when we stay in the sun, because our body reacts to its exposure to sunlight by creating this pigment, melanin, in our skin in order to "defend" itself.
Allergies are my cause for bagginess so I know I just need to go to a derm whenever they start to really bug me. I am really intriged by that caffeine solution as a serum🤩
I have the same problem and it's really sucks when we can't try many products. Does this product works for you? I'm about to try
@@carmencarmen7043did it work for you. I bought it but I’m scared I have very sensitive skin
I've been using the Ordinarys caffeine eye cream for a while, and it seemed to tighten up all the wrinkles and lines under my eyes, to the point if I don't use it I can tell...I'm hooked
Hey, FYI it really worked well on my undereye bags. I'm 65, I applied morning and night and started to see the difference after about 3 to 4 weeks!
I used TO Caffeine and found it didn't do anything to my under-eye puffiness which is from aging. I've been using The Inkey List Caffeine serum for a couple of years because it works a little better on my skin.
Since i use this serum my puffiness's under my eyes are gone….i put it on and in a few minutes they’re gone….i love this stuff ❤️
At this point i trust you more than any brand advertisement🤣
You are the only source of truth I look up to when it comes to skin care products, thank you for the effort!
Valuable information. I am one of those that always had little eye bags, even as a kid. Now at 58 I keep hoping for that miracle cream cure because it’s so much worse now. Tried this serum, did nothing. Working with acceptance instead. (and good health, etc)
Hey, look up Beauty by Anne Marie where she uses a Nivea Q10 serum for bags. They don't sell this serum in stores anymore so I had to get it off of Amazon (I didn't buy it through her store but made sure I had the correct one because there are 2 different ones so make sure you get the right one, it's pricy at $24). I've used that Q10 serum under my eyes for 2 months and it actually has helped my bags. I've had bags since I was 15. I had to be persistent and use the serum 1-4x/week for 2 months and it's finally showing results
@@leahr9038 thank you! I will look it up
i used this product for a long time and I actually liked it. The hydration was very good and it did brighten my under eye area. I am using Sunday Riley Auto Corrector but I will be back to The Ordinary eye cream.
I’m on my third bottle and I haven’t payed close attention to the change tho i went in the bathroom after your video and realized I don’t have any puffiness. Though I still have dark circles. I’ll be paying closer attention as I continue to use so many of The Ordinary products. Thanks Cassandra! Hoping to find more of The Ordinary products on your channel.
How's your dark circles now
I think it works. You say that you don’t see any improvement; but you can actually see it. Your eyes did look less puffy. The product will help but the key component is to get good night sleep as well.
I'm impressed you said Epicalifragilisticexpialadotiousalate in one go
side note: Puffy undereyes looks youthful, korean makeup includes lining the "undereye smile" with some eyeshadow then filling it in with a glittery eyeshadow. I've been using Dear Dahlia's eye sequins for that and I think it's REALLY beautiful. :) Try it (specifically called Aegyo Sal)
That’s very interesting, thank you for sharing this
I have used many products for my dark circles but i can tell you dermalmd under eye serum is one is my favourite among all, the reason behind that it is fast reactive towards the dark circles also it’s price is quite decent. MUST buy for under eye pigmentation💕💕
Hydration is so important. My dark circles are worse when I don’t drink water
Im Dr. Scott Miller and I Approve this video
No, you're not stfu
I also tried this for puffy and bluish circles seriously for about a month with no change but what did help with mine was gentle vibrating massage. Be patient, consistent and unfortunately continuous.....like for the rest of your life lol
Hi there. Was it manual massage or did you use a device?
It’s been more than 4 months and nothing with this serum
@@deedee2218 i used a vibrating massager wand that i picked up on Amazon. It has a rounded metal head.
I use it and it completely got rid of my hereditary dark circles.
I think this is the best product I ever used under my eyes! It got rid of my "hills & valleys" and the dark bluing tint all around. Love it!!
My under eyes are sunken, which make me look tired, even though i slept for more than 12 hours! It never gets puffy, just sunken 😩
How to remove sunken eyes?
@@razwanakhan9210 why would you want to remove your eyes? You'll be blind
@@GeloMeme 😂😂 LMAO. i think that person meant how to fix the sunken eye.
@@jungleman9141 🤣
Me too I don’t know how to do it
This eye serum makes my eye lids firmer and lifted. Love it! I do have to use a moisturizer over it but it’s still quite effective.
what moisturizer do you use over it?
So much effort has been put in the making of the video its showing
I've been using this product for a few months now and I havent seen Major Major difference but i have seen improvements for sure. Especially since i have such a fair conplexion, ive seen this help enough *for my personal preference* with some of the shadow and puffiness in my under eye. Which has been an insecurity of mine for years, and this product even though it hasnt done miracles, it has helped. But definitely takes a lot of time to see some results in my opinion.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you put into these videos! You help so many of us! Also, thank you for not making aging a crime. I don’t want to age quickly but I also don’t want to be 60 with zero wrinkles. With all your tips I hope to age gracefully! 💓
You are a brilliant teacher Cassandra! Love how you explain complex stuff in a very easy way to understand and enjoy. 😘
I just want to right you Cassandra that I have been watching your every video and i am so suprised that someone is so harismatic and well educated and still so dron to post a video on youtube, you are so insparing for me personel to learn more about ingridians and just imyoing routin,skin routin. I am from beauty industry,thats my proffesion and thank you for sharing!
So informed, so clear, so well spoken! Thanks, Cassandra. You totally rock!
Lymphatic drainage massage for the eyes is great! Exuviance eye smoother for $40 is great containing hyaluronic acid and polyhydroxy acid, kept in the refrigerator to depuff is also another eye trick. I'm a Skin Care Specialist too! I'm new to your channel but I'm enjoying it!!!
I can't sleep on my back. When I do I have terrible nightmares and wake up with headache
I can't sleep on my back either. I don't know precisely why. It bothers me because I probably wrinkle my face all night long.
Keep trying don't give up 🙃
It happens to me too.. I thought I was the only one!
@@cacamtz1213kaka me too!!!
Me too! It gives me sleep paralysis, it’s horrible and not worth it!
I love using the ordinary caffeine, matrixyl, hyalauronic acid, argireline, and buffet with copper peptides, I swear they really work..💗
You should have done only one eye to be able to compare throughout the day and everything
I bought the retinol eye cream and I think it's really helped with wrinkles
Also, your hair looks so beautiful 😻
@@mariamarain377 the Inkey List retinol eye cream
I use this as an antioxidant all over my face, as Dr Dray recommended, and it works great in the morning under the spf.
For some reason I don't understand the science that my teachers tell but I understand EVERY SINGLE thing that Cassandra says when she talks about the skin science. She makes science actually kinda fun and interesting
I am 51. Have not had many skin issues. I do love this stuff primarily for maintenance. Not to mention that it feels really good compared to lotion type eye creams. Cost is great as well.
Love this content. I do enjoy the TO caffeine and just work in with my moisturiser. My underwyes are super dark no matter how much or little I sleep but that's just my genetics and ofc being 29 now trying to use more stuff to prevent and self-care/ slow down daily routines. IF this pandemic taught me anything was to sit back and stop running around like a chicken with my head cut.
Thanks for bringing so many great videos lately.
Hi! I have the same issue, super dark undereyes since I was a kid and I was curious if you noticed a difference
@@bawddor3831 hey! As I mentioned,it's genetic so really haven't found something that lightened that zone. In general, my skin is clear and more radiant so it's nice with just a bit of concealer on the dark circles.
Try To use dermalmd under eye serum and it's gives moisture on my eyes and helps with the puffiness in the morning. It works and very affordable.
To all who have puffy under eyes: I think they are really cute. Do not feel the need to change it. They are adorable and there are a lot of people who think they cute and envy you guys 🥰
the puffy ones not the dark ones 💔
Nah I have double eyebags they ain’t cute
@@jolenemartin6784 my eye bag are really looks like gucchi bags🤣
I started using the snail mucin about a month ago and apply it under my eyes as well. I started seeing how bright my under eyes are. I also use a hyaluronic acid roll on and have been for about a year, so it wasn't from that. I am super satisfied with the snail mucin. My face glows, my under eye is looking amazingly good.
I dont use eye serums as a treatment but as a primer. Lets me explain, most days I dont war foundation but I like to wear some concealer underneath my eyes. My concealer showcase the dryness of my undereye as the day goes by but I noticed that when i apply my serum un the morning it looks good the whole day. I haven't noticed any improvement on the skin hence why I dont see it as a treatment but hey as a concealer primer I love it. I use the revolution caffeine and HA serum.
I use it in a similar manner. I also noticed that my eyes FELT less puffy, not so tight and stretched. I don’t think it’s really having any effect on dark circles but I use it in the morning too and like using it that way
This product is really very good, it worked for me like a magic.
I've had puffy blue/purple under eyes my whole life that look similar to yours, even when I was a kid. Its just how my face is! But I have just about ZERO crows feet so I'll take it. I too have never believed eye creams we're necessary, I just use whatever I use on the rest of my face.
Thsts awsome that you incorporated your face time with surgeon. I say YES! Please post that video and add the ingredients he mentioned for eye creams.
Okay, let me just start off by saying personally, as a Premed student, I very much appreciate the way your posts have a more than a generous amount of scientific or research enriched content. Thank you for educating and continuing to post!! This was a great video per usual my dear 😊!!
my dear?
Wow I'm kind of relieved that you showed the "gumminess" of your bottle, because mine have been doing the same thing and I wasn't sure what it was!
The way you deliver knowledge and the dedication you put on creating these videos makes me feel cared for and actually supported, tysm!
Also, i can't seem to find the video where you speak about the caffeine solution for the whole face. How is it called?
I have been using this for an year now once a day and it worked miracles for me .
My darkness went away completely
I bought this product recently and I’ve noticed a difference already after only using it for about 3 weeks that it appeared to make my under eyes lighter.
I go to a board certified plastic surgeon who does botox underneath my eyes for these bulges/bags and fine wrinkles. It has seriously changed my life. I went in for a consult ready to spend $600 on a syringe of filler, but my surgeon mentioned I had puffiness, not hollowness, so I didn't need filler. Sounds scary, but my injector does 2 units of botox under each eye, once every 6 months. It comes out to $60 or so, and I absolutely love it! Im not saying you ladies need it but I just wanted to share because it costs less than an expensive eye cream with amazing results! ❤
Hell yes, I'd love to see the whole interview!!!
Agreed
I've been using this serum more than a year I'm 23 now I'm so so happy and please with it, its a good value for the price as well 👍👍👍
I love this product. I’ve been using it for 6 months now and I still didn’t finish the bottle yet, i see a big difference in my under eye darkness !
Yes, please post the entire conversation Dr. Miller!
