Hylexin: Reduce dark eye circles

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Product Reviews


Hylexin is an eye cream designed "to help reduce the appearance of serious dark circles and chronic puffiness surrounding the orbital eye area."

When they say "serious" they aren't kidding. According to their website, "...serious dark circles... not the kind that pop up in the morning and are gone by breakfast, but the kind of serious dark circles that stay around forever... making you look old, tired and exhausted."

Basically, the kind we have.
Luckily, we also have Hylexin.

Apparently, the dark, puffy circles that have lived under our eyes for the better part of the last decade aren't a reflection of our hard lifestyle of heavy drinking and light sleeping, but rather "the oxidation of hemoglobin (blood) in the capillary matrix of the peri-orbital eye area." Duh.

We're tired of looking tired.

We tried Hylexin for two months, and we must say, it works. We're not going to sit here and pretend that our dark circles have totally ceased to exist and been replaced with glitter and sunshine, but they have been reduced- greatly.

No longer do we have to spend our day answering smalltalk inquiries into how tired we are or how late of a night we've had- or worse, the occasional assumption that we were sporting a knuckle-induced shiner, but can instead focus on topics of a more personal nature, like the piece of pepper in our teeth.

Try Hylexin.
