What the gurus are saying
Gurus split on whether this creates visible plumping: some report it helps with under-eye hollowness and fine lines, while others saw no change after weeks of use. The clinical trials backing the active ingredient aren't particularly strong, though the very affordable price makes it low-risk to try. Some gurus experienced warmth and irritation that built with extended use, so patch-test first.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
