| Hylexin? Anyone Try It? After several visits to Costco contemplating purchasing this, I decided to just do it yesterday since the $12 instant rebate was expiring. I used it for the first time this morning. I see it has pretty good reviews, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Does it work? (It's for lightening under eye circles). thanks!

| I am just skeptical cause you will need to use it all the time in order for it to keep working, usually when you stop it comes back the dark circles, maybe I am wrong I don't know. I just find the concealer works great for me |

| On line the reviews are 2.5 out of a possible 5 points. Some love it, some say it does not work at all.... interesting. I pasted a quote from one of the "good" reviews. I have also read that under eye products that have caffeine work really well.. "First of all, ladies and gents, THERE ARE SEVERAL KINDS OF DARK UNDEREYE CIRCLES! To expect that one product could cure every kind is simply ridiculous. This is not a miracle product for every type of undereye darkness. If everyone realized this simple fact, I bet 90% of the negative reviews on here would be obsolete. This product is mainly designed for people who have dark, purple, bruise-like, veiny undereye circles. The kind that is generally understood to be caused by poor circulation in this area. Not from melanin pigmentation, lack of sleep, dehydration, etc!!!"

| I agree with the great concealer post. I have allergies and there is NO miracle cream that is going to magically cure those dark circles! A good nights sleep will help but that's about it.

| Yes, I did try that a few years ago. Didn't work for me. I have the hereditary type of dark circles.... blue, veiny.... even my eyelids are darker. This cream was supposed to work for my type of problem but after using it faithfully for about 3-4 months, I noticed no change. I've been told that only the Restalyn (spelling may be wrong) treatment where they inject fat under the skin layer would work in my case. It comes from the veins being too close to the skin. I wish I had the nerve (and $$$) to try it. As for concealer, I've yet to find one that's perfect. Haven't tried Bobby Brown though. I find that the stick ones (not the liquid wand ones) work for the best coverage. Gonna try the BB one I think.

| I tried it....flopped. i still have the leftover in my medicine cabinet. The best thing to help my dark circles======SLEEP!!!!! When I'm well rested, I have barely any dark circles. Bobbi Brown maked AMAZING concealer but their BEST PRODUCT is their CORRECTOR!!! I cannot live without it. It goes on before the concealer but I only use the corrector. I also use Bare Minerals, actually I use ALL Bare Minerals products w/ the addition of the BB corrector. So I put the BB corrector (which is cream based in a little compact-not in stick form) on after moisturizing, then I brush on a little "well rested" Bare Minerals concealer which is a powder (less cakey) and then the Bare Minerals all over face foundation which is super light and that's it. Works awesome for my face and dark circles. Good luck--hope Hylexin works for ya!!!! Viv
