Reviva Labs #Skincare Part 2: Under-Eye Dark Circle Serum #Review


Welcome to Part 2 of the Reviva Labs Skincare instalments. If you are just joining us now, check out part 1 too. Today, we are going to review the Under-Eye Dark Circle Serum.


With my lifestyle and the profession I've thrown myself into, sleep really doesn't happen. When I get any sleep, I gladly take it. Unfortunately, that means I suffer from the Panda Eye Syndrome. The wonderfully pigmented dark circles under my eyes and the puffiness that comes along with it. What to do?


The Under-Eye Dark Circle Serum offered a potential solution. Apparently, the source of dark circles was due to capillary leakage of hemoglobin and its breakdown products, bilirubin and iron. With their innovative formula that is a combination of 4 ingredients:
  1. Chrysin -stimulates an enzyme to clear and eliminate bilirubin
  2. Hydroxysuccinimide -Makes iron soluble so that it can be eliminated
  3. 2 peptides which help to avoid future capillary leakage and protect against further discoloration
The result? No more dark circles. It also reduces puffiness and protects against future discoloration. It can be used as a drop or two in the morning alone or under makeup and at night alone or under eye cream. I found that one drop was more than sufficient.

I'm sure you're wondering if it works. I've been using it for a little over a week now and my puffiness is gone. My dark circles have definitely gotten lighter and trust me, I haven't been sleeping any more than usual. I've actually been getting less. The only thing you have to be careful of is getting the serum into your eyes. I have a bad habit of rubbing my eyes and accidentally did so shortly after I used the serum. It stings so be careful.

Before (After the 1st application)
My puffiness is over the top!
After (Puffiness gone, circles fading)
In conclusion, its an amazing product. Within a week, the puffiness I had was gone. My panda eyes are slowly disappearing. I really look forward to the results in another several weeks. Purchase these products here. Stay tuned for Part 3: The Giveaway!
