Read alot about best eye cream as started to look abit dark.under my eyes and very small crows feet. No bags or sags just the above.

Medik 8 came out best in lots of surveys.

DH bought me the Medik 8 Retinol eye cream for Christmaa...I asked for it.

So have followed instructions
First 2 weeks used twice
Next 2 weeks every other day
Then everyday going forward

Very early days but I dont think anything's changed.

Anyone else use this and had good results after a while?

If it’s retinol is will take weeks-months to see any improvement. Retinol is very much a long game. It does have incredible results but you have to persevere.

It takes months to work, if it works at all. Three weeks is nothing.

Just read up...needs consistent use for results...

Short-Term (4-8 weeks): This is when most users start to see visible effects, such as the fading of fine lines and a reduction in puffiness.

Medium-Term (2-4 months): More significant changes in wrinkles and firmness become apparent. In a clinical study, 97% of participants agreed their eye area looked significantly more youthful after 12 weeks of using Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye.

Long-Term (6-12 months): With continued use, you can expect significant improvements to overall skin smoothness, clarity, and the appearance of deeper wrinkles.
