Reviews Summary
Customers say this eye cream brightens the under-eye area and creates an instant illuminating effect. Many appreciate the lightweight, smooth texture that absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or greasy. Common feedback highlights improved appearance of dark circles and tired-looking eyes with regular use. Some users note the formula has a subtle shimmer that enhances brightness immediately. However, reviews are mixed on consistency and scent—several mention the product appears watery or has an unpleasant odor, though some report this resolves after shaking. A few users report the texture feels grainy or separated. Most praise its hydrating properties and suitability under makeup, though some wish for additional moisturizing benefits.

    Not very brightening

    Is this cream supposed to smell this way? It smells quite... stale? Not sure. But I can smell it even after putting it on.

    I've been using it for about a month now, but it's also not particularly brightening either.

    Hi Sandra, thank you for sharing this — and great question! 🙏 To answer you directly: no, the Brighten-i Eye Cream shouldn't smell stale, and it certainly shouldn't linger after application. That's something we'd really like to look into, so please do reach out to our Customer Experience Team and they'll get this sorted for you. Please email help@theinkeylist.com and we can investigate with you further.
    On the brightening front - the eye area is one of the slowest to show visible change, and a month is still early days. Most people start to notice a real difference around the 8–12 week mark with consistent use, so it may well still be on its way!
    Sorry this hasn't been the experience we'd want — please do get in touch so we can help. 💙
