What the gurus are saying

Smooth, crease-free coverage is the detail these takes keep coming back to, with a brightened finish that sits beautifully and doesn't look heavy. Under the eyes it can read too dark and settle into fine lines, so it may suit spot coverage on redness better. The spongy applicator can start to get gross over time, and a little goes a long way.

"I use this for no or little makeup days to conceal around my nose and chin where I have redness. It is easy to blend. [...] This is [...] my fifth tube and I really enjoy it. I looked back at my old review where I said I would never repurchase, but that was because it was marketed [...] as an under eye concealer and it didn't work for me there, it was too dark, the colors were off, it would settle into fine lines, and it's just light coverage."
✓Mixed
"If you want a drugstore option, the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser. I like this one a lot. The only thing I don't like is the little spongy applicator that starts to get gross. But in terms of a formula, very, very nice."
✓Yay

And I'm just needing products for this quick look that's gonna make me look a little more polished and put together in a pinch and things that are going to be super reliable. And this is one of those products for me. I [...] love to put this on the eyelid to cancel out any discoloration."

"This is a tried and true classic and an iconic concealer that's still in the running after all these years. It's been around for so long and it's a fan favorite for a reason. It layers perfectly with any other products, never flakes, looks patchy or pills. It gives buildable coverage without looking heavy under the eye and is really brightening. For someone in their 40s with dark circles, it gives brightness, smoothness, and never creases."

"I did try a bunch of drugstore concealers this year and I didn't really like any of them, unfortunately. My favorite drugstore concealer is the Maybelline Age Rewind."
✓Yay
"It's a really great formula, probably one of the best drugstore concealers you could buy. For drugstore pricing, [...] it's a great concealer. [...] It's like when you do your sunscreen and then put a little bit of concealer on for a natural look. It's [...] a really smooth natural finish concealer, it just looks beautiful. [...] It lasts for a really long time and it's 11 bucks. If you buy a deeper shade it makes a really nice contour too because of the applicator."

"We're going in with the Maybelline Eraser Concealer. I've used this before, but never really given it any thought. I purchased this one myself from Superdrug. And I do quite like it. You actually don't need that much. I used so much, but a little bit goes a really, really long way. It sat beautifully on the skin. Almost hydrating-ish, I guess, because it's anti-aging. It's a really beautiful concealer. I wish I grabbed one sooner and used it more."

"It's a regular concealer we've known this product for years. [...] I still mentally think of Instant Age Rewind as a nine or ten dollar concealer. Then you see thirteen on the shelf and it feels wrong. [...] I still think it's a solid concealer. I'm undecided."
✓Yay
"I've been using the one that was gifted to me a year ago from tarte and it's okay the shape tape um but I want to try something drugstore and this Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser seems reasonable when it comes to dark under eye circles. [...] Caffeine may temporarily de-puff and decongest and give a little under eye brightening effect. Even gets the job done and the iron oxides in the concealer may help protect against visible light which generates free radicals in the skin."
✓Yay
"If you're looking for a really good under eye concealer look no further than [...] the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer. It's incredible and really reasonably priced."

"This Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer, oh my god. It has a nice, radiant finish, which we really need after 40 because them super matte concealers will tell all of your business. And it covers well."

What the evidence says.

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

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
