Workd but you need to use it long term to see benefits, its really good for undermakeup also. A bit pricey but I think it's worth it

I have been using it for 5 days every day so far. Apparently you need to wait 3-6 weeks to see any results from am eye cream but my skin is definitely smoother, hopefully my darkness fades away as well

So glad I foudn this shop! I noticed a difference after just a couple weeks—you know when those dark circles get worse if you don’t sleep? they actually looked lighter for once. texture’s thick but creamy and not drying. scent’s a bit odd, but it blends nicely and didn’t sting.

Mary & May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream combines tranexamic acid and glutathione (1,000 ppm each) with niacinamide to brighten the look of dark circles and uneven tone around the eyes. Adenosine, panthenol and hyaluronic acid help the area look smoother and feel hydrated.
What it does
Tranexamic acid and glutathione target the look of dullness and discolouration under the eyes, and niacinamide helps even tone and supports the barrier. Adenosine is included for the look of fine lines, while panthenol, betaine, sodium hyaluronate and a creamy base keep delicate skin soft.
Why we chose it
It leads with brightening rather than lines, which makes it a useful pick if your under-eyes look dull or brownish rather than lined. It is also a simple morning partner to a retinal eye serum used at night.
Best for
- Dark circles that look brownish or dull
- Uneven tone around the eyes
- Early fine lines around the eyes
- A brightening morning eye step
Not ideal if
- You avoid fragrance: fragrance is listed. Knours One Perfect Firming + Plumping Eye Cream has no fragrance in its listed ingredients
- You avoid animal-derived ingredients: it contains beeswax, so it is not vegan
- Your dark circles come mainly from shadows or puffiness: brightening ingredients help most with discolouration
Key ingredients
- Tranexamic acid (1,000 ppm): the look of dark circles and discolouration
- Glutathione (1,000 ppm): brightening and antioxidant support
- Niacinamide: evens tone and supports the barrier
- Adenosine: the look of fine lines
- Panthenol, betaine and sodium hyaluronate: hydration and comfort
Texture and finish
A soft cream that you tap in with your ring finger until it absorbs.
Where it goes in your routine
After serum, before moisturiser, morning and evening. Squeeze a small amount onto your ring finger and gently tap it around the eye area. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
What to expect
The eye area feels hydrated straight away. Any change in the look of dark circles is gradual, depends on steady use with sunscreen, and varies with what causes them.

- Morning and evening, after serum and before moisturiser.
- Use a small amount along the bone under the eye and out to the outer corner, keeping it away from the lash line.
- If you use a retinal eye serum at night, this works well as your morning eye step.
- In the morning, let it settle before concealer, and finish your face with sunscreen.
- Patch test first if you are sensitive to fragrance.

Good to know
- Contains fragrance
- Contains beeswax, so it is not vegan
- No retinoid and no exfoliating acids
- Contains sea buckthorn fruit oil
Does it contain fragrance?
Yes. Fragrance is listed in the ingredients, so it is scented. If you avoid fragrance around your eyes, Knours One Perfect Firming + Plumping Eye Cream has no fragrance in its listed ingredients.
Is it vegan?
No. It contains beeswax.
Will it help my dark circles?
It depends on what causes them. The brightening ingredients are aimed at dark circles that look brownish or dull, which is discolouration. If yours come mainly from shadows or puffiness, an eye cream is unlikely to change them much. Any change is gradual and depends on steady use with daily sunscreen.
Can I use it with a retinal eye serum?
Yes. This cream has no retinoid and no exfoliating acid. A simple way to combine them is this in the morning and the retinal serum at night.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin around the eyes?
It depends on your skin. Fragrance is listed, so if fragrance has bothered you before, choose a fragrance-free eye cream instead. Otherwise, patch test first.
