I'm not sure what to think of hydrolyze. The first few times I used it I noticed that it had already started to diminish my dark circles and I though "wow this stuff is really gonna work." but now it seems like it has lost its effectiveness, almost like it helps reduce the dark circles and bags but then it just stops and cant finish erasing them. Another problem I have is this cream is really greasy around my eyes, I put it on at night before bed and when I wake up in the morning it has gotten into my eyes and they sting and are all red. I think I will do some research and find something that has been proven to work better than this. see its expert reviews: http://www.thebeautyinsiders.com/hydrolyze.html
