Philosophy Dark Shadows

As we age, our skin begins to thin and dark undereye circles appear and upper lip shadows become noticeably darker. Philosophy's silicone-based eye and lip area brightening balm with light diffuser technology helps reduce the appearance of unsightly shadows around the eye and upper lip area as it instantly helps reduce the appearance of baggy, puffy eyes.

Really helps! - 03.10.10
Quick Take: brightening, soothing

I mix this product with a little of my foundation and a dab of moisturizer and apply with a concealer brush. Really helps hide the dark shadows of my sleep deprived eyes.

Only thing that seems to work - 03.08.10
Quick Take: brightening

My dark circles are hereditary, and this is the only thing that's made them less dark. It's temporary, only lasting the day, but it really seems to work. The trick is to rub the cream in until it tingles -- otherwise, it doesn't seem to work. Provides a good base for concealer, and does not clog my pores.

Does Not Work - 03.05.10
I am very skeptical about buying products that promise to get rid of dark circles. We all know most of them do not work. But I love Philosophy products so i thought I would give this a try. This 33.00 tube does absolutely nothing to help my dark circles and bags. Dabbing a bit of the Hope in a Jar moisterizer under my eyes gives me better results than this stuff. I will be returning this. Don't waste your money.

Good Results - 02.22.10
Quick Take: brightening

I tried the Dark Shadows eye treatment and it seems to
make an improvement. I hope the longer I use it the better
results I will have. It has only been couple of weeks.

jury's still out - 02.18.10
Quick Take: rich

I've been using this for about 2 weeks, and I haven't noticed any drastic change in my under-eye circles. Some days, I think the outer parts of the circles have disappeared, so maybe there is something to that vessel-tightening theory. Other Philosophy products have worked well, so I'm willing to give this one a chance, but I hear they're phasing it out soon to be replaced by Eye Hope.

very dissapointed - 02.18.10
I was talked into purchasing this product by the sales team it is not the one I want it cost 33.00 a tube and is so not worth it. This product does not work and should not be sold in stores.

This stuff works great. Doesn't remove mine all together but definitely lessens the darkness.

Just OK - 01.28.10
Quick Take: brightening

I have really bad under eyes and I thought this was going to be a solution. I can't really tell a difference. I probably won't buy this after it's gone. It's not worth the money either.

Unsure this does anything - 01.10.10
I haven't noticed any changes with this product, either instanly or after several weeks of use. I'll use the remainder of the product, but I'm not hopeful.

Still figuring it out... - 01.10.10
Quick Take: brightening, soothing

I bought 3 concealing products at the same time, so I'm not sure which is really making the biggest difference for my under-eye circles. This is a nice base and I like how the concealer I bought from Amazing cosmetics glides over it without creasing during the course of the day.

WASTE OF MONEY!!! - 01.09.10
Quick Take: a huge ripoff

This is one of the biggest rip offs I have ever been talked into. It literally does NOTHING. I have tan skin and I might as well have put on moisturizer to get the same result. it does not lighten anything and is WAY too expensive for the amount you get. DO NOT BUY!!!!!

I use nothing but Philosophy on my face and I'm never disappointed. I haven't used this particular product very long - a couple of weeks - but I like what I see so far.

Drying - 01.01.10
it's okay. It does seem to make the dark circles & shadows a little less noticeable. However, it's very drying around the eyes. Probably best to use a moisturizer first before applying this product.
