“I'm going to top off where I put the Dr. Jart Deep Puffing Serum with some cream just because it is still an area that feels a little bit dry for me.”

"I finally finished the VT RLES shot lifting eye cream. [...] Apparently it is supposed to be a refillable system, but this doesn't work anymore. The vibrating applicator doesn't vibrate anymore. And I don't see a way to change the battery. So are we sure this is a refillable system if you can't change the battery? [...] Electronic waste is especially not sustainable. I really don't even know how I'm supposed to discard this. [...] In the end, it's still not a favorite."

"I used the VT Reedle Shot Lifting Eye Cream, but in the process of using it I came to not like it that much. There were a lot of times where this eye cream just started going off on my counter, like it was having some electrical malfunctioning, and that got very annoying, hearing this loud vibrating sound randomly coming from my bathroom."

"It's not your ordinary eye cream with a metal tip applicator. This eye cream actually vibrates the eye cream into your skin. [...] This has an incredible texture. It's really silky and luxurious and moisturizing, but it's not a dense cream. It's very airy and almost like a whipped kind of a cream. So it actually glides onto the skin beautifully and has great absorption even just on its own. But when you use this applicator tip, [...] the metal is so cooling on the skin."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Vitamin E

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.
