Dark Circles - Benefit Eye Con, worth it?

Anybody got a recommendation for dark circles (inherited, not lack of sleep ). Saw Benefit EyeCon but don't want to buy without other opinions. If not that, any recommendation?

Ta.

Doesn't work
Have just ordered a different one from Avon. Will report back.

I have really dark circles (inherited!) and I've tried loads and loads of creams.......
The Avon one (the eyelift one with the seperate under-eye and over-eye creams) is quite good IMO. It def makes the under eye area softer and smoother which then means you can smooth on one of those 'light reflecting concealers'... If I'm honest, I don't think any product has made the circles magically disappear so I've become quite an expert at hiding them!!

Eye Con not great. I am finding that mixing the teeniest bit of pink cream blush with my No 7 under eye concealer thing is helping to lift the shadows a bit.

Got very good one from Bobbi Brown.

Ooh got a sample of p&p to try. May also go for the avon one.

Nailpolish, did you post about the collie? Is it true?

I love Boing for blemishes but it's too thick for under eye area imo.

I've been using an el cheapo Collection 2000 unde eye concealer wand thing and for the money it's v. good.

Eye con is ok but doesn't seem to do much for my dark circles Not sure I'd bother with it again tbh

another vote for Bobbi brown- they also do an under-concealer concealer for really bad cases!

Bobbi Brown Eye Brightener and Benefit Erase Paste are the best I have tried
