Hylexin – Dark Circles Eye Cream

June 17th, 2008 posted by admin

Product Overview

Looking for something that can diminish dark circles? Here’s one product for you that solely concentrates on reducing dark circles. Hylexin’s is made exclusively to reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eye. Therefore, this product will not affect crow’s feet, under eye puffiness or other signs of aging around the eye.

This puts Hylexin far below other products in its field, perhaps more discouraging is the fact that Hylexin does not disclose what active ingredients are responsible for its ability to reduce dark circles. The company promises that 72% of those using Hylexin noticed their dark circles fade.

Hylexin gained a lot of attention for its aggressive marketing campaigns online and in various tabloid magazines. One of the most recognizable aspects of the Hylexin advertisements includes the image of a woman with two very large, dark streaks under her eyes. This exaggerated image may catch a lot of attention and make people want to read the advertisement.


Price: $95

The Good

- Good marketing strategies.
- Hylexin reduces appearance of dark circles under the eye.

The Bad

- Work’s only on dark circles and not on puffiness or crow’s feet.
- No convincing research or customer testimonials in the web site.
- Components are not unveiled.

Dos And Don’ts

You can go for the product if you want but it will only help you reduce your dark circles. For other problems like wrinkles, puffiness or crow’s feet you will have to go for some other product.

Even if one believes the claim that Hylexin worked in 72% of people trying the formula in their clinical study, it does not convince. Other eye care formulas, including Dermitage, Dermalogica and other high-end formulas, have conducted similar studies and found the average effect to be in the 85% to 95% range, within only a few weeks. Therefore, Hylexin seems like an inferior product.

Final Comment

Hylexin’s web site contains a very less information about the product. Customer testimonials are also unavailable on the web site, and the FAQ section seems to merely be a reformatted delivery of the exact same content as is present on the home page.

In addition, the so-called “Media” and “In the News” sections are nothing more than areas where consumers see Hylexin’s commercial or read their in-print advertisements. This web site seems to seriously lack any objectivity, as well as lacking the essential information previously noted.
Hylexin is very costly and also there is no sufficient information regarding the product. You can take risk of using the product but one cannot recommend it.
