has anyone used hylexin eye cream?

Hermes

I have always been a little dark under the eyes because of my fair skin. I have been using hylexin for the past couple of weeks and I think it's making a difference. I put a little on at night and in the morning.

sleep also helps get rid of them!

Thanks, D! I have fair skin myself and a tendency towards dark circles too. We both get enough of sleep (8 - 9 hours every night) so I don't think that's the cause of this. I don't notice his circles much anymore, but he's self conscious about them.

I think we'll both be using it!

This is suppose to be the best thing for under-eye circles. Of course it's $100...
I can't speak from experience, but my former roommate (who was a make-up artist and fairly well-versed on cosmetics, etc.) swore by it. I haven't tried it b/c I'm more concerned about lines, but maybe? I'm not sure what the difference would be between this eye cream and just getting more Vit K in your diet -- maybe there are supplements? Anyway, just thought I'd share. I'd be interested in any product that worked, b/c I'm always asked if I feel ok. Aparently I look like I haven't slept in weeks. *sigh*

I use it.

I'm on my first tube. I feel that it does help when I use it every day (twice a day), but if I miss I feel like they are bad again. I seems like a product that you have to commit to using without fail, forever. I don't have terrible circles (I've seen much worse), but they are bad. I don't know if it is performing as well as I expect a $100 tube to perform. But, a little goes a long way, so I'm also going to factor in how long my tube lasts.
