Riddle me this: When was the last time you felt comfortable enough to skip concealer when you go out into the world For some buyers, it’s now more of a “miracle” product than ever. Listen to me now: The Velamo Advanced Retinol eye pencil has an 89 percent approval rating on Amazon from reviewers who swear by its effectiveness, and for the benefit of anyone suffering from dark circles, I’ve spent my afternoon digging.
At first glance, the under-the-radar brand might seem like a gamble, but with 1,200 five-star reviews and a price tag of $20, it is currently 20 percent discount– Let’s all take a moment to judge.
That eye treatment balm is a fast-acting solution to common skin problems you know and hate, including dark circles, puffiness and fine lines (we’re talking about you, crow’s feet). With consistent use, it leaves skin more radiant, rested-looking. Described by the brand as a “do-it-all balm,” the formula quickly locks in moisture for smoother, plumper eyes, with results visible to the naked eye in just three to four weeks. Although one reviewer noted changes within 10 days, but more on that later.

Furthermore a gem of a formulation– Retinol, power peptide complex, vegan squalane and astaxanthin – the balm’s packaging also makes it pretty convenient to fit into a busy routine. The stick design allows you to easily apply the product anywhere without the added risk of bacteria from your hands, unlike glass packaging. Because it’s a balm and therefore has a thicker consistency, the brand recommends avoiding tugging on the skin during application.

Personally, I’m a big fan of balm formulas during the colder months, so you can bet I will be alongside his existing fan base pick up one this December. Speaking of fans, let’s move on to the reviewers for the hard-hitting facts.
“I’ve always had dark circles under my eyes (thanks, genetics) to the point that sometimes I wake up looking like I have a less-than-secret boxing career,” one wrote. “After years of cleaning Sephora, this is my new favorite product! I no longer need to wear concealer under my eyes to look human. It also pretty much eliminated my forehead lines.”
“I’ve been fighting hereditary dark circles for years. Now at 56 I feel like they’re getting worse and worse,” shared a second. “I’ve been using this eye pencil for about 10 days and I see a real difference. It actually fills in the eye area.”
Now go and get one while it’s on sale.
