My opinion

I have heard some really negative reviews about this product but personally I have found this cream to suit my fair complexion.

It is of medium consistency and it was lightly fragranced which might put people off.  The texture is nice, it is white when it comes out but turns to a skin colour when applied to the skin.

The trick to this is not to apply it like an eye cream as this will end up with you looking like orange panda eyes.  I found using a light eye cream first, then applying this very sparingly on a cotton bud and dab it around the eye socket wiping away any access.

Its probably mis sold as it would be better as a concealer, I find it impossible for products to adjust exactly to our skin colours as we are all too different and too many variations of skin types.

I will still continue to use it as it gives great coverage on dark circles.
