Overview
Talika Paris is a European company that was started originally in 1948, when one of its founder discovered that - after treating burn victims with a botanical salve for their eyes - they soon experienced longer, fuller eyelashes. For years, Talika has been known for its eyelash formula, which has an impressive amount of clinical research behind its ability to double and even triple the length and strength of eyelashes. In 2005, Talika created its own product for dark circles and puffiness near the eye, called Eye Detox. We decided to review this product in conjunction with what is already known about its Lipocils eyelash formula.

Featured Ingredients
Like the Talika eyelash formula, the Eye Detox product contains mostly natural or naturally derived ingredients. Most of these appear to be proteins and peptides (signally molecules that encourage protein synthesis), but there are also other unique ingredients, such as Cornflower water and Horse Chestnut. Cornflower water seems to be added to the formula to soften and soothe the skin, which could be desirable in those who have puffiness under the eye.

Horse Chestnut has long been known to be beneficial in those with varicose veins or similar circulatory problems due to diabetes. It seems to have a positive effect on the blood vessels in the body and helps prevent the pooling of blood than can show through skin and make you look unsightly. In theory, Horse Chestnut would therefore be able to reduce dark circles, because it would enhance circulation and prevent the clogging of blood that often leads to dark circles. 

Web Site Description
The Talika Web site in English seems to be a work in progress. Some of the translations from French to English seem inaccurate - or at the very least a bit “clunky” - so the team at EyeWrinkleReviews.com did have some difficulty understanding the claims and information provided. Given the history of Talika’s eyelash product, we tended to give the company the benefit of the doubt, but we were a bit skeptical about the research on Eye Detox. According to the web site, use of the formula resulted in 85% less dark circles and 100% less puffiness under the eye. However, we think that this translation may be inaccurate, and that these numbers refer to the percentage of people who noticed a positive effect, not the effect itself. Hopefully the company can clarify this soon. The web site does contain some positive customer testimonials, but it does not offer a free trial of the product.

Positives
- Lipocils are known for enhancing the length and strength of lashes- Some of the ingredients have benefits for puffiness and dark circles

 Negatives
- Some French to English translation of scientific data may be inaccurate

- Relatively high price ($75) for a system that does not include a crow’s feet product

- No free trial of the products is offered

Conclusion
Considering that you would have to pay about $75 for the combination of the Lipocils eyelash formula and the Eye Detox - and no free trial is available - we think Talika might be too expensive for many consumers. Most people would still need to purchase a separate formula for crow’s feet, which drives this eye kit higher in price than other comparable systems that contain all three formulas already.
