This serum is very gentle and I like that you can apply it closer than just the orbital bone. I haven't used it long enough to tell if it is making a difference.I am taking off a star for each of the 2 reasons below:1. On older skin this isn't moisturizing enough. I need to layer another eye cream on top.2. The dispenser can be tricky and more often than not too much gets dispensed so there is wastage. Maybe I got a defective dispenser because another reviewer stated she has good control over the amount dispensed.
