Dr. Melaxin Eyephalt Retinol Eyebag Cream 10g

First off: This product is fairly effective. It is a good value for the money compared to some others. There is no noticeable scent and it does seem to reduce puffiness. No noticeable shine or glow after application, which I am OK with.That being said, It is not as effective as some of the pictures make it out to be. At least not on my skin. It does absorb fairly well and quickly. But you MUST moisturize really well before using. And definitely use the little applicator to smooth it out or you will have horrible white flakes once it dries.As for the size of the bottle, see the picture. It is expensive. But most "viral" products are.

I'm giving this product a solid 4.5-star rating overall, and here’s why:First Impressions:I've only used it once so far, but my under-eyes are one of my biggest insecurities. While it definitely helped with fine lines (which earns it points), that wasn’t my main concern — so I'd give it a 4 out of 5 on that specific result alone.Immediate Effect:I was hoping for something that worked quickly, and this did not disappoint! Within minutes, I saw noticeable results that actually lasted beyond an hour — that gave me enough hope to keep using it, so for this aspect, it gets a 5 out of 5.Packaging & Instructions:I know this is an international product, but I really wish there were at least basic directions in English. Another product from this brand does include English translations, so I’d rate this part a 4, but I’ll still lean toward a 4.5 overall because I genuinely like their products.Women of Color Experience:As a woman of color, I noticed there aren't many reviews from people with my skin tone. So I was pleasantly surprised that I had a positive experience — no irritation, no weird residue — which is why I give it a 4 out of 5 for that consideration.Same-Day Review:This review is based on my first-day experience — I received the product today and tracked the results within hours. So far, so good, and I’m hopeful the results will continue. For now, I’m comfortable leaving my overall rating at 4.5 stars.In short:Based on my first impressions, ease of use, and visible results, I’d confidently rate this product 4.5 stars. I’ll update my review with photos and further thoughts as I continue using it!

I bought this as a promotion and was super excited to try it. It's a pretty small tube for the price, so I was surprised about that. The consistency is like an ointment and the texture is smooth. I have been using this about a week and noticed a minimal difference. I noticed that if you apply it while your skin is still damp, it doesn't rub in all the way and when your skin dries, it leaves a crust where it was applied. I did not notice any fragrance and this caused no irritation at all which I was very happy about. I will say that this did temporarily brighten my eyes but unfortunately it wasn't very hydrating. The quality is decent but for the price and such a tiny tube, I expected better. I really wanted to love this but compared to others, the results just weren't there and the price is too steep.

Very effective and easy to use.

Longevity. Great absorption. Moisture under eye area. Great under makeup.

Love this stuff!! Follow instructions for use carefully. No caking or peeling. A good friend actually asked me if I had my eyes ‘done’. I immediately put her onto this product.

It did just as advertised. Finally, a product that actually makes eyebags disappear for a few hours!!

Great product but leaves white sheen and residue

Still trying this product to see how well it works it's looking better on my face only time will tell !!!!

I love this stuff the only bummer is that it leaves a white residue I don’t know if it’s because I have darker skin tone or what but if I could figure out a way around that this product would be perfect. It’s a great value for the money and at leaves your skin looking amazing. No lines dark circles! I just hate the white stuff it leaves!!

I didn’t see results the first three days but now this morning, I really do see a difference. There are instructions in English despite some of the reviews, you just have to look for them. You can actually feel the tightening going on. My issue was bags under my eyes, so that’s the only thing I was looking for. I’ve been testing it out by only putting it under one eye so I have a valid comparison I think for this price this might be a good solution.

I have been STRUGGLING with under eye puffiness for months. I naturally have deep troughs and have always had under eye darkness. But, with the recent puffiness on top of it, it has been a struggle to mask.I have tried serums, caffeine under eye patches, ice packs… ALL the things.I have tried a product like this in the past, a Dr B product… and while it worked, the results were temporary and there was NO way to apply makeup over the product.I thought this would be the same… but being into Korean skin care, took my chances on it.When I received the product, the recommended use was to put on before bed and wash off in the morning.Night one, there was a HUGE difference the next morning. It diminished the puffiness, but also seemed to level out the deep troughs.I am 44 years old and cannot cake the concealer under my eyes like I used to without looking like a cakey wrinkly mess…I have since been able to use minimal product to balance out my under eyes, and I’m only on night 2 of using this.I don’t know what kind of wizardry this is… but it is the only thing, so far, that I have used that actually makes a difference.Is the problem completely gone, no… BUT the improvement is noticeable.This is definitely a game changer… and I feel relief that I found something so effective.

This stuff is pretty amazing. I have been using it for a month now but ONLY at night. I did not like the idea of having to wash it off after 20 minutes if you use it during the day so I skipped it & added it to my night routine. I have a seen a huge difference in my dark circles, fine lines, & puffiness. I use this one under my eyes first, let it sit for about 10-15 minutes then go in with all my other nighttime skin care regimen.I instantly feel a tightness in the area after applying which eventually settles down & then my eyes look lighter & firmer. I then add my other eye moisturizer over it. I will be purchasing again! I wish I would have taken before & after photos when I started the product but you will see & feel an instant change in the eye area once you start using.I do NOT get paid for the use of this product. This is my honest review after 1 full month of use at night.

I’m impressed for the instant fix. It’s a great product to eliminate my eye puffiness in mornings . At beginning eye area feels somewhat tingling but it goes away in minutes. When applying on any skin tightening ingredients this temporary reaction is expected anyway.It’s temporary fix for the day I see it as eye makeup. I ain’t good at concealer so it is such a good alternative for me to remove my eye bags. Eye puffiness bothers me a lot these days as it’s the worst sign of aging. No matter how nice our skin or how pretty our make up looks but if the eyes are puffy and tired we simply look very old. It’s misconception that some people might think it is eventually improving the eye firmness like magic. people expecting the eye bags being fixed permanently should go to eye surgery instead. Their instructions suggest using at nighttime once a day, but I use it in daytime I rather see my youthful eye to shine with eye bags gone when going out. At Night time I let the eye rest with routine creams and treatment. I don’t mind the eye bags returning at night. I use it under the eye moisturizer so I didn’t see white residue. Happy about the result.

I followed the instructions. I put it on in the evening before bed and after cleansing my face and putting my toner on. I woke up the next day and the eye bags were significantly reduced. As soon as I washed my face and put my moisturizer on my skin, it seemed like the effects were lessened.Even so, I repeated the same thing the next evening. I woke up the next morning, and it was even more significantly reduced. I did not reapply it before make up or moisturizing. I continued with my daily normal routine and I can tell you this it has actually made a significant improvement. I’ve tried really literally everything! I’ve even talked to my doctors about procedures that might help. If it were not for the bags under my eyes, you would not be able to tell my age. Now I feel like I have something that is effective. I can avoid cosmetic surgery lol! This actually does help and it is well worth the price.I did not use it in the a.m. under makeup or anything. I only used it before bed as directed and it was not necessary for me to use it again in the morning. I could see the difference and it did not diminish on day two like I felt it did on the first use.There is NO white residue!! I saw that others had said that. This is not like that other brand starting name is with a “p”. Honestly I have no idea what product those reviews are about!! THIS does not leave ANY residue!You feel the tightening when it dries. You know it’s working deeper than some topical fake skin glue when you put it on.I’m really impressed. I will buy again and again. I definitely recommend this.
