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

  • Not greasy, not heavy — the cream-gel texture absorbs in seconds. No sticky residue. No pilling under makeup.

  • 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) 

  • 10 million units sold — not because of hype, because it works 


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)
