Do Under-Eye Creams Really Work?
I Tried One for 7 Days — Here’s What Happened
We girls probably start our day with the first or, let’s say, our favorite task — looking at our faces in the mirror. But when our first encounter is with dull eyes and dark circles, not only does our confidence drop, but the stress also weighs us down.
For the past few days, I have been troubled by the problem of my dark circles and puffy eyes.
I was also wondering if there could be an under-eye cream that can reduce issues like dark circles, puffiness, and pigmentation while also being pocket-friendly.
Of course, I tried a few home remedies, but let’s be honest — they take forever to show results, and who has that kind of time and patience these days?
So, I did some research on key ingredients used in under-eye care and wanted a formulation that combined them all.
That’s when I came across Eyebliss Under Eye Cream — it had all the powerful ingredients I was looking for, plus it was budget-friendly.
P.S. If you want a deep dive into the research behind this cream, check out my detailed breakdown here: . I’ve explained each active ingredient and how to apply it for best results.
How I Used It
Every night, I followed this routine:
1️ . Washed my face thoroughly.
2️ . Took a pea-sized amount of the cream.
3️. Tapped it gently under my eyes using my ring finger, moving in a circular motion (from inner to outer corners).
4️ . Applied a light moisturizer on the rest of my face.
5️. I left it overnight to work its magic.
Day-by-Day Observations
Day 1: First Impression
While I didn’t see any significant differences, my under-eye area felt smoother and more hydrated, which was already a benefit!
Day 3: Puffiness Started to Reduce
By the third or fourth day, my under-eye puffiness had visibly reduced. Dark circles? Not much difference yet. But after applying makeup, my face looked much fresher than before.
Day 5: Brighter & Healthier Skin
I noticed my under-eye area looking brighter, and the overall texture felt more hydrated and plump.
Day 7: Final Verdict
By the end of the week, while my dark circles weren’t entirely eliminated, they were notably less noticeable. More importantly, the skin beneath my eyes appeared brighter, and the puffiness had significantly diminished.
Key Ingredients That Matter
If you’re looking for an under-eye cream, make sure it has these powerful ingredients:
✔Alpha-arbutin is 10 times more effective than natural arbutin in reducing melanin, helping lighten melasma and dark spots around the eyes
✔Hyaluronic Acid Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin.
✔Vitamin C brightens dark circles and boosts collagen.
✔Caffeine helps reduce puffiness and improves circulation.
✔Peptides strengthen skin and smooth fine lines.
✔Green tea extract, packed with powerful antioxidants, helps calm inflammation and reduce swelling and puffiness, making your eyes look fresher and more awake.
✔Glycerine helps in skin barrier function, preventing dehydration and irritation, which are common concerns for delicate under-eye skin.
My Final Thought
Finally, I would say that while there are many expensive creams available on the market with no guaranteed results, this cream provides great value for its price. This is my tested and tried conclusion — if you have minor to moderate dark circles, puffy eyes, or dull and dehydrated under-eye skin, then this cream is definitely a win-win solution for you.
