| I've been using Kinerase's Under Eye Rescue for well over 5 weeks now with no results. Is that enough time to notice some change in under eye circles? |

| Probably two months is what I would give it to see if there are any results. It's hard to say. Also, have you figured out why you have dark circles in the first place? Lack of sleep? Allergies? Sinus problems? There must be an underlying cause and it's best to treat that as well as the dark circles topically at the same time. |

That is weird! I have read that it great for people who get bags under their eyes and people who suffer allergies.
I was going to buy it next month. |

| Well, it might. I don't have bags per se nor do I use it for fine lines/wrinkles so it may work for that! |

The sales rep at Nordstrom said that I would see results from the Rescue formula after "one cell cycle," and not before. She said that would be 25-30 days. I said, "What about the fact that my cell cycle is supposedly 5-6 days, because of using retinol?" She didn't have an answer for that....
Anyway I tried the product for a couple of nights and it was okay but I doubt that it is particularly effective. |

| kinerase is a more gentle product, for people who can't tolerate retinols, therefore it takes longer to see results. I'd try 2 or more months before judging the product, unless of course you get some nasty reaction |

| I agree, you should try it for around two months before judging the cream. |

| Not sure if your question is directed to me or not....No irritation, but no improvement either, and my sample's about gone. |

| Give it a bit longer, I have been happy with Kinerase around my eyes but I use it more for the fine lines and wrinkles. I use a super vitamin K in the AM for the dark circles and Kinerase at night for both the dry skin around my eyes and fine lines. The combination is a good one- at least for me. |

| Hi, I am curious Ssue, which cream are you referring to? |

| Both! It took several weeks to see the dark circles diminish with the vitamin K and I use Kinerase because my eye area is extremely dry and sensitive with fine lines. Both have helped but I have to admit I haven't encountered a "miracle" product that makes those wrinkles totally disappear- (yet)! |

I got a small sample tube of this from Sephora and used it for about 5 days... however I noticed that my eyes became extremely dehydrated and it looked as if I'd aged and grown deep wrinkles right under my eye overnight.
Did anyone else experience this with the Kinerase Under Eye Rescue? (I also found their regular eye cream to somehow accentuate lines over a period of time...) |

Yes, Yes, Yes, Me, Me, Me!!!!!  I bought it last year and stopped using it after 2 weeks. My under eye areas looked just like Tiger said - extremely dehydrated and my wrinkles looked worse. |

I had the same experience. Didn't even finish the sample. |

I've never used the Under Eye Rescue, but have used the normal Kinerase eye cream for some years and liked it. Didn't find it dehydrating at all, not for me anyway.
Not using it now however as I'm making my own Kinerase copies with the kinetin from skinactives. Can't believe I've become one of those DIYers! EDS forum really can save you money.....well, sometimes  |
