The dark circles under my eyes make me feel old, tired, and unhealthy. I don't know if you will agree with me but even the best concealer out there cannot hide these dark circles. Everytime I put on makeup, I spend half the time figuring out the best way possible to conceal them. And so I told myself I will invest on a good eye cream.

I am morena and they say people with darker skin tones are most likely to have dark circles than people with lighter skin tones. This is due to excess amount of melanin in the skin which causes the hyperpigmentation associated with dark skin underneath the eyes.

Like mother, like daughter. My mom has dark circles, too. My mom and I have been searching high and low for a good eye cream until we were recently introduced to Artistry Créme Luxury Eye.

Artistry Crème Luxury Eye combines exquisite, high-quality ingredients such Carldiolipin, a lipid so rare and expensive it's worth 30 times its weight in gold, which helps energize and replenish your skin; Roxisomes, special liposomes, which help protect skin's DNA from free radical damage; Spinach Leaf Extract, a powerful antioxidant, which repairs damage to skin cells; and L-Carnosine, a protectant antioxidant from Artistry's sister brand Nutrilite, which produces the precious CellEffect Technology, which encourages the skin cells to act younger by renewing its youthful energy, helping repair signs of past damage, and protecting it from future damage.

It also has special moisturizers which dramatically increase the skin's hydration levels for a smoother look. Caffeine reduces the appearance of dark circles. Botanical extracts like Japanese Cherry Blossom and Alfalfa Seed soothe the skin as well as boost its natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, which renew the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

It has a very "scientific" composition. Artistry harnessed the finest blend of natural ingredients through the most stringent of processes created by the most advanced innovations.

Artistry Créme Luxury Eye targets both the upper and lower eye area to deliver maximum results for a "360-degree transformation around the eye." To use, ring finger around entire eye area (upper and lower) morning and evening. Use a gentle tapping motion moving 360 degrees around each eye, from the inside eye area outward.

The Artistry Créme Luxury Eye has a light and pleasant scent. The creme dries quickly on your skin. It is absorbed instantly and does not leave behind any greasy residue. A tiny amount of this silky creme goes a long way.

Artistry Créme Luxury Eye promises total eye repair for a more energized, revitalized, refreshed, firmer, and younger look. It addresses lines, crow's feet, dark circle, sagging and puffiness in the eye area.

Of the many eye issues mentioned, my main problem is dark circles. I can say that after four weeks of use, the dark circles became lighter. The hint of dark under my eyes were minimized. I also noticed that the areas around my eyes were revitalized, moisturized, and hydrated. It made me feel younger, rested, and healthy.

Since I don't have wrinkles just yet, I couldn't say the difference in the tightness of my skin but my mom felt its firming effect only after about a week. Meanwhile, she noticed its lightening effect after only two weeks of use. Her fine lines became a little blur (but still there). My mom religiously (and excitedly) applies the cream while I missed using it some days. This was why she felt its effects faster. It really pays to follow instructions.

My mom and I hope that in a few more weeks, these dark circles and fine lines will totally disappear; but, overall, we are impressed with the results of this cream. While some of you have most likely tried every trick in the book or bought every eye cream, my mom and I recommend that you try Artistry Créme Luxury Eye for yourself. Just like any other luxurious cream, the eye cream is expensive but it could be worth the splurge especially if you know how much your skin needs this cream.

I agree with Ria. So expensive for an eye cream!

I also have dark circles. Naiinggit nga ako sa iba na grabe magpuyat pero wala sila nun. This product is expensive. I'm still not desperate enough to spend this much. I'll just used the money to travel.
