I was so excited to receive this and I am usually someone who isn't sensitive to smell but dear God this smells as if it was literally soaked in perfume (and I am sure it was since it's the serum that smells so much). When I put it under my eyes.. the scent was so strong and I was honestly uncomfortable.. then it started to sting a bit? i was worried i'll wake up tomorrow with red blotches under my eye but i didn't... so i'm going to give this a consistent go despite the too strong of a smell and see if there's any change. So far it's hard to tell. I give it 3 stars just because it is a very uncomfortable experience and since it isn't magical.. i don't think it's worth it
