Review: Skin Renew ANTI-DARK-CIRCLE EYE ROLLER– Thumbs Down



The Claim: Over time, lack of sleep and daily fatigue make eyes look tired. Microcirculation slows and the delicate skin around the eyes becomes thinner and more translucent. Dark circles and shadows appear.
Skin Renew Anti-Dark-Circle Roller is right for you if you want to instantly correct the appearance of dark circles and brighten the skin around your eyes
 

The Review: Save your money. You’re better off brewing a cup of tea, letting the used tea-bag cool, putting it over your eyes for 10 minutes and then using some under eye concealer. Yes, caffeine will tighten your skin slightly, but it’s not as though it’s actually penetrating the skin so caffeine in any form applied topically will do the same thing. The concealer in this product is very watery as well.

I have used this product for 30 days and found zero improvement with the dark circles and bags under my eyes.

They could have improved this product if they had added vitamin K, which is known for helping with dark circles and bruising.

One positive is that the metal ball does feel really nice rolling across the skin.

  1. Thanks! I've totally been interested in this product. So, hemmroid cream doesn't work anymore?

  2. Actually hemorrhoid cream does work well for puffiness under the eyes. It's an old school models trick for hiding a hard night out on the town. I always keep a tube in my makeup kit (not that I'm a model, but I've done makeup for shows).
