This is [Garnier's] 1st 2-in-1 eye product: 1- eye care with caffeine to hydrate and refresh; 2- tinted mineral pigments to instantly cover dark circles. The combination in a cooling roll-on applicator works wonders! It’s ideal for a gentle, hygienic application in the sensitive eye area and the non-messy roll-on applicator is convenient for use on-the-go.

    I bought this product because i have been looking for the perfect under-eye, dark circle concealer/corrector for a while now. The stress of University has really started to show, and my my under-eye area is the worst. I like this product because it is an easy 2-in-1 method: i can treat the puffiness and dark circles, as well as conceal them at the same time. I concealer is a fairly universal colour, and would suit most Caucasian skin tones; however, that leaves out a huge demographic of people, and in that respect, it sucks. However, for my purposes, I noticed that the skin-toned colour of the product suited me fairly well, and it did cover my dark circles. I would have preferred a lighter colour though, because I am very fair skinned. I have noticed a slight decrease in the overall appearance of my dark circles, in the week's time that I've been using the product.
    Overall, I do like this product - I'm still unsure whether I would purchase it again...I may just go back to my two step process of eye cream, and concealer. I'm sorry I couldn't be more definitive, but I think for a product like this, it's a personal preference.

    I bought this on a whim hoping that it would decrease the look of my dark circles. No amount of sleep helps, it actually makes it worse! I am not a big makeup girl, so no foundation or coverup usually. I can't really say that this works; the liquid does not glide on nicely, usually there is too much and it comes out fast. The commercial is really misleading. I find I need to use a makeup brush to smooth it out. Whatever difference there is to my appearance is minimal. I tried some before and after the 7 days Garnier says will change things, and in photos there was no difference.
    One good point is that it does blend nicely, considering that there is only one shade of it.
    Will I buy it again? maybe.
    Would I recommend it? maybe, if you are looking for a quick fix because of a late night and don't have chronic eye circles then no.

    I find this product to be a good concealer for dark under-eye circles. The roller makes it very soothing and comfortable to apply and not at all irritating to the sensitive eye area. The only issue I have with the product is that it claims that in 1 week your under-eye area will be naturally brighter. I use this product every day and have not noticed any permanent brightening under my eye. However, I will still continue to use this product as a dark circle concealer because I like the way it looks and feels.

    I have very fair skin with fairly prominent under eye dark circles - I find this product helps to cover those circles while blending in very well with my skin tone. It goes on smooth and dries quickly without settling in any of those pesky fine lines that are just starting to appear under my eyes. I would recommend this product to anyone with fair skin - I'm not sure how well it would blend for those lucky ladies with darker skin tones!

    I was chosen to be a tester for this from Lipstick Powder and Paint.

    I have been testing it for a week now every morning without fail. I had great confidence for this product as I heard that it worked very well and almost diminished the appearance of all dark undereye circles.

    First - I didn't find the color very well matched to my skin tone. It almost looked a little orange like it was too dark for me (a curse of having VERY fair skin i guess)

    Second - the concealer came off very easily - after about 3 hours of wearing this product I had to reapply

    Third - I went to my local drug store to check out the price - $15.97 for a tube 15mL WOW I WOULD NEVER PAY THAT MUCH FOR SO LITTLE OF A PRODUCT THAT DID NOT WORK BY ANY MEANS!

    To say the least this product gets a huge thumbs down from me - after testing this product is going in my garbage.

    When this first arrived in the mail from Garnier, I laughed. I saw that it was an eye roller and concealer combined and thought, "what were they thinking?" Then I used it and I completely changed my mind.

    I was already a fan of their original eye roller because the caffeine combined with the cooling roller ball makes my under-eye bags less puffy without drying out the delicate skin around the eyes. This one is even better because it has all of that combined with a moisturizing long wear concealer so it can camouflage dark circles at the same time.

    I'll admit I am surprised at how effective the concealer is. I thought this would be the weak point of the product, since it has to be fairly light to work with the roller ball application, but I like it so much. I've actually rolled that little ball on other parts of my face where the skin has some redness such as around my nose, and find it works great!

    It's a lightweight concealer, which is good for around the eyes so you don't emphasize any fine lines so you shouldn't expect it to be as thick as many other concealers.

    Prior to this, I had been using a much more expensive concealer under my eyes but these days I prefer to use this one. I love the two in one and the fact that it works.

    Thumbs up!

    P.S I have fairly pale skin and I find that shade #1 is perfect. The product launches in Canada August 2010.
