I was at an art expo and Bionyx was there peddling their line. I have terrible dark circles under my eyes so the girl convinced me to let her test on me. The cream supposedly has caffeine in it and it plumped up the area nicely hiding the darkness. I’ve read it’s very expensive. Wondered if anyone here uses it?
That could be what my friend got talked into buying at a women’s wellness expo. She described how the test/demo magically made all this fluid run out of her skin (eyes?) and made her puffy baggy eye area look better.
Unless that’s a thing now to demo these products at random expos.
This one had hyaluronic acid in it.
I’d be cautious about it, but then again I have a lot of allergies. I tried a facial formulation my dermatologist recommended but due to sulfite allergies (preservative used in the lotions and lots of things), my eyes and face swelled so I could barely open them. Lesson learned.
I would ask to buy a small test kit and test in inconspicuous spot for a few days first before putting things near eyes of face. I’d also run it past my allergist and dermatologist.
I have never heard of that product line. However, I’ve been using different products by ‘The Ordinary’. They have a highly rated caffeine product for under-eye usage. And it is NOT expensive.

I tried The Ordinary’s caffeine solution for several months and, unfortunately, for me, it didn’t help. I know it’s been reviewed well by others so, with such a low purchase price, I’m not one to dissuade anyone from giving it a try. Would love to hear if anyone has discovered other options for dark circles.
Someone in St. Augustine tried a collagen thing on my eyes. It did the same thing…looked like I had a Botox treatment. But it was very costly. And when I washed my face…poof…it was gone.
I bought some collagen here…an eye cream…and I am underwhelmed.
