Garden of Wisdom's GoAway Circles Eye Serum is a targeted solution specifically designed to tackle under-eye darkness. It features Haloxyl, a potent active ingredient that helps absorb and eliminate colored blood pigments in the skin, which primarily cause dark circles. Additionally, the serum includes Matrixyl 3000, which works to lift and tighten the skin, enhancing its youthful appearance. Eyeliss is another key component in the formula, which strengthens capillaries and aids in stopping the progression of broken and leaking capillaries. This preventative measure helps to tackle the root cause of dark under-eye circles before they even begin. This combination of ingredients makes the serum a powerful tool for correcting and preventing under-eye concerns.
NOTE: this is to be used for under-eye DARK CIRCLES only.
Many people instantly assume that dark circles under the eyes are due to stress or tiredness, and many creams and products have supported and promoted this basic assumption. However, this is now known because the tiny capillaries beneath the skin break, and blood can seep out. This blood, in turn, oxidizes and turns the skin a dark, bruised color. The overall thinness of the skin in the eye area can further enhance this.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

I have had dark under-eye circles (i.e. dark purple color) ever since I was a young child. Even with addressing underlying issues with my iron levels, I still had dark circles. Now, being on my 2nd bottle of this serum (first purchase being of the smallest bottle), the dark circles have cleared completely about ⅔ of the way underneath my eye. Purchased the large bottle this time and am looking forward to getting rid of the remaining darkness where the eye meets the bridge of the nose!
Frankie,
Thank you! Your review makes us giddy with joy as we all know and understand the frustrations with dark under eye circles.
Its wonderful to hear you are having success. So many aren't able to see this kind of result but your willingness to hang in there and
give it the best possible outcome is amazing.
Hopefully, others with this same concern will read your review.

Too soon to tell
Feels nice on the delicate skin around your eye - too soon to really tell if I'll keep in my routine
Thank you, Hannah!
The skin is so delicate under our eyes so your feedback that this serum
does feel nice is important to others.
We look forward to your future feedback.
Best of luck,

Very Effective Under Eye Syrum
I try to keep this eye serum in my possession at all times. I usually buy the small size but believe it or not, it lasts forever since I only use one drop under each eye every day. It really does what it's supposed to do, totally erases the darkness under my eyes. It's a fantastic product and I don't want to ever be without it. At the moment I still have a little left and I will be ordering it again soon. I love GOW products, and have never been disappointed with anything i've ordered. Thanks GOW for making such amazing products for us. I'm getting ready to place another order for some other GOW products that are forever and always a staple in my skincare regimen. Love Love Love their moisturizers as well, just wish we could have more discount codes once in awhile. It really helps. Thanks GOW
Thank you for this review!

Oh gosh they do go away....
I have had dark circles in like forever...I know it's hereditary but the continuous use of a laptop, the lack of sleep and the sinus issue I have contributed to making my dark circles even darker. I have tried oh so many creams and treatments and spent so much money that I lost count; they did work but only for a couple of days or a maximum of a week, then I am back to square one. I came across the Go Away Serum of GOW by coincidence and decided to give it a go..no reviews at all but the ingredients looked genuine and the name intrigued me. It came in a plastic container with a pump which makes it easy to use - just a tiny wheeny little pump and a small quantity of serum (pea size) is enough for both eyes..under and orbit of the eye - so already a plus as it lasts longer. It distributes nicely on the eyes, has no odour, no stickiness and dries up pretty quickly - hey another plus. I have been using it for more than 2months now before actually writing this review and can notice the difference, the dark circles are lighter, the fine lines are barely there and my eyes feel fresh - I don't have that tired look anymore. I can't say the dark circles vanished, but at least less noticeable, the dark colour has reduced a lot and when applying some concealer they barely show unlike before - where I would still have that darkness glowing through!. GOW you definitely made this serum work. Just one downside - the bottle is dark hence you see through to check what's left.
So glad this is working so well! Thank you for writing this review!

I am already gaining my confidence back..
I haven't slept since I woke up by 2am and looked at the mirror. U won't understand the joy I have is like that of someone who just won a lottery. I have had dark circles for about 13yrs. The dark circles were thick. I have used even very expensive creams but the creams did not remove my dark circles. The dark circles are fading fast. This is a miracle. I can only say thank you. God linked me to your products. U must have worked very hard. Again the eye serum doesn't irritate my eyes like some do. I wish u the very best in what u do. I am already gaining my confidence back. My spirit is uplifted. I was just telling my cousin about it because her mum has the same problem for up to 30yrs now. Before I found your serum I was going to plan a trip to a london clinic. I had already gone for consultation and was supposed to go for the dark circle treatment. With this I will not need to anymore.
So great to hear this :) We're super happy to hear this!

Good for emerging blemishes
I like this stuff! My blemishes are usually just tiny irritated white heads or bumps with nothing in them. If I put this on at night, things are much calmer in the morning. It even seems to have a minimizing effect on the few deep painful cystic guys I get, so they end up fading away rather than coming to the surface full of rage. And so far I haven't had any irritation (and I have very sensitive skin). I put this on after my last oil stage, after things have dried down a bit. I feel like that works best since I use it as a spot treatment, and putting it on under other stuff seems like it would just spread it around.

This is the best one!
This is the best one! My skin is sensitive to unusual things and the leucidal hyaluronic acid serums don't give me any issue. I prefer the honey to the regular because it helps my acne. I had to order the regular/pure HA serum last time and I definitely noticed breakouts lasting longer. Honey comb is the way to go!

It's really hard to find a fungal acne-safe body lotion! This lotion is light, and it's not instantly transformative, but over the past month or so I think it has helped the dry patches on my elbows and knees. I wish it was a tad richer, but I don't know if that's possible while also keeping it FA-safe. So I'll probably keep it in my routine!
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review, Caroline! -`♡´- We’re glad you’re beginning to see improvement in those stubborn dry areas. We also truly appreciate your feedback about wanting a little more richness while keeping the formula fungal acne-friendly. That balance can be tricky, but your input is incredibly helpful to us!

Hi Laura ♡♡♡
This is so interesting and clever! We love hearing how our customers put their ingredients to work! Knowing the Cetyl Alcohol has been the answer for smoothing and softening your dry, flyaway hair is inspiring. Keep up with the great ideas. Since your mixture contains water, we recommend making only a tiny amount at a time and using it fresh.

Thank you so much! Our Bakuchiol Body Bliss Body Oil ... “Luxurious” is exactly how we want your skin to feel. We’re thrilled it has become such a favorite!

this seems like a very good product, but may be wrong for my skin type. i have rosacea and eczema, and mostly oily skin. i was hoping to find a product that would improve my heavily congested nose and chin without making all the red patches on my cheeks and eye area worse. i tried the product as both a toner and a facial spray, but found it slowly dried out my cheeks and made them redder. so now am am just applying only to my nose and cheeks, and it seems to be helping now, in conjunction with the oat serum. the product has the consistency of a typical toner, and it is scentless. it does not sting or burn when sprayed on, even in the eye area. it feels neither drying nor hydrating, and does not leave you looking greasy.
Hi Donna ♡
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Wild Black Cherry Bark Hydrosol. I'm glad to hear it's helping when used selectively.
We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope it continues to support your skin needs.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance!
Thought: you could add about 2-3% glycerin to amp up the hydration.
