Key Ingredients Explained
Ginseng Root Extract (Panax Ginseng) – A hero ingredient in traditional Korean medicine, rich in saponins and antioxidants. It helps support circulation, reduce puffiness, and firm the under-eye area over time.
Retinal – A more potent but gentler form of vitamin A than retinol. Speeds up cell turnover, helps reduce fine lines, and smooths skin texture — without the typical irritation. Time-released for better tolerance in delicate eye areas.
Niacinamide – A brightening multitasker that helps reduce the appearance of dark circles, supports the skin barrier, and improves overall skin tone. Great for tired, uneven under-eyes.
Macadamia Seed Oil – A nourishing plant oil rich in oleic acid and squalene. Softens and replenishes the delicate eye area without feeling greasy.
Cholesterol + Ceramide NP – These are skin-identical lipids that restore and reinforce your natural barrier. Especially important for dry or sensitive under-eyes prone to flaking or irritation.
Peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5) – A small-chain peptide that supports collagen production and improves skin elasticity over time. Helps prevent and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Sodium Hyaluronate – A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps plump fine lines from within. Lightweight and non-sticky — layers well under makeup or SPF.
Cocoa Extract (Theobroma Cacao) – Antioxidant-rich and skin-soothing. Helps protect against environmental stressors while softening and conditioning the skin.
Hydrogenated Lecithin – An emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent that mimics natural skin lipids. Helps active ingredients penetrate more effectively while calming sensitivity.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – A classic antioxidant that supports skin repair and helps defend against premature ageing caused by environmental stress.
