What this product is designed to target

This product is specifically positioned for the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Dark circles can have different causes, so results can vary. Shadows caused mainly by facial structure, deep tear troughs, strongly genetic pigmentation or swelling related to a medical condition may not respond fully to topical skincare. This is a cosmetic eye serum, not a medical treatment.

Is it mainly an anti-wrinkle serum?

No. Its primary stated concerns are dark circles and puffiness. If fine lines or other signs of ageing are your main concern, a product specifically designed for those concerns may be more appropriate.
