    Dermalmd under eye treatment serum is great for black circles under your eyes. Also good for wrinkles. Doesn’t leave a greasy feeling on your skin. I have very sensitive skin and dermalmd products are the only ones that do not irritate my skin. This product takes time to work as does any beauty product do not expect overnight results I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and love the results so far.
