A lightweight, cream-gel formula that targets dark circles, dullness, and fine lines. Clinically tested. Awarded #1 Eye Cream at the 2025 Hwahae Beauty Awards. Clean, vegan, and genuinely gentle.
What it is
A brightening eye cream that pairs two powerhouse ingredients — tranexamic acid and glutathione — to tackle dark circles, dullness, and uneven texture around the eyes. The cream-gel texture sinks in instantly, layers easily under makeup, and actually feels comfortable to wear.
What it does (clinically proven)
*According to clinical studies conducted by Mary & May
How it works
-
1,000ppm Tranexamic Acid — inhibits melanin production in the skin, which helps fade dark circles and hyperpigmentation over time
-
1,000ppm Glutathione — a powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin and protects against free radical damage
-
Niacinamide (2%) — supports the skin barrier and improves uneven tone
-
Panthenol — soothes and hydrates, making it safe for sensitive eyes
-
Vitamin C — helps boost collagen production for firmer-looking skin
Free from: parabens, artificial fragrance, alcohol, mineral oil, sulphates, and 16 other harmful ingredients
Why you'll love it

-
Works while you sleep — use it morning and night. The formula is gentle enough for twice-daily use, even around sensitive eyes
-
Clean without being preachy — EWG Green Grade ingredients. Cruelty-free. Vegan. Dermatologically tested
-
Award-winning — voted #1 Eye Cream at the 2025 Hwahae Beauty Awards (that's Korea's version of the Allure Best of Beauty)

What to expect (realistically)
This won't erase genetically dark circles overnight. But with consistent use over 4-8 weeks:
-
Dark circles look visibly brighter and less pronounced
-
Fine lines around the eyes soften
-
The under-eye area looks more rested — even when you're not
Clinical data shows 33% improvement in wrinkles and 20% reduction in melanin levels — meaningful, not miraculous .
How to use
- When: Morning and evening, after toner/serum
- How much: A rice-grain amount per eye
- How to apply: Squeeze onto your ring finger (it's your weakest finger — less pressure, gentler application). Dab gently around the orbital bone, then tap until absorbed . Use your ring finger for both eyes — just wipe the excess on your other under-eye — no need to re-squeeze.
- Then: Follow with your face moisturiser. In the morning, finish with SPF (retinal or not — always SPF).
Pro tip: If you're also using a retinal eye serum, use this in the AM and retinal in the PM. They work beautifully together.
A few things to know
- Some people feel a mild tingling sensation when they first start using this — it usually fades as your skin adjusts
- If you experience dryness or redness, take 2-3 days off, then reintroduce every other day
- Always patch test behind your ear before first use (24 hours)
- Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding — please consult your doctor
- Store upright and keep the cap tight (the formula is clean, which means it's also more sensitive to air)
