    Brightens and refreshes under eye for all day glow

    This is a key player in my Inkey List skincare regime and I use it every morning (and sometimes before bed too). It brightens and refreshes the under eye area, giving an illuminating glow to lessen the appearance of dark circles. Fab for faking that 8 hour sleep glow!

    Wouldn’t buy again

    I’ve only used it one and had to throw it away, this cream has an almost grainy consistency and a very unpleasant smell. Like it’s gone off!
