eye con cream for dark circles by benefit, does it work?

it's on their top selling list, so it must, but when i tried it at sephora, it didn't do much. is it one of those "results in 2 weeks" things? how did it work for you?

1. No, it' over rated. The reason we get dark circles is from poor circulation in the eye area and broken capillaries. The darkness is from dry blood just sitting under your eye. Here is what I suggest you do. Gently using your ring finger,The reason I say use your ring finger, is because your eye area has very delicate thin skin around this area and your ring finger is the lightest touch. You don't want to rub too hard in this area. O.k now, the way to help rid this area of darkness is you need to gently massage your eye area starting at the inner corner of your eye and gently in circular massage motions, massage out towards the outer corner of the eye towards the ears. This is the only way to loosen up and drain the dry blood or excess fluid. Don't listen to any of these gimmicks and spend lots of money because you will only be wasting your money. If you massage inwards toward the nose area it'll just build-up and be worse. It might take a little while to see results, depending on your eye area, but don't give-up.
2. I love everything from Benefit, and believe me, they do work. Dark circles are caused by wrong circulation of the blood, but this Eyecon cream reduces them a lot, doesn't make them disappear but is makes them almost invisible...
3. There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known. http://www.mydarkcirclesblog.com/2006/11/27/causes-of-dark-circles/ If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions: Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles. http://www.mydarkcirclesblog.com/2007/01/01/special-spa-home-remedy-to-reduce-dark-circles/ To hide dark circles, you can use YSL concealer or salmon concealer.. http://www.mydarkcirclesblog.com tips on how to reduce dark circles, the causes of dark circles, home remedies, eye creams reviews, make up tips, and natural healer. http://www.cleansecolonblog.com Cleanse Colon Blog writes about colon cleanse home remedies and review colon cleanse products.
