Worth 60 Points

What you get: A clinically tested caffeine eye cream that instantly cools and hydrates while targeting under eye bags, dark circles, and tired-looking eyes. This award-winning lightweight formula delivers visible results from the very first application.

Why it works: 0.3% Caffeine is a powerful antioxidant that targets fluid retention - the root cause of under eye bags and dark circles. Matrixyl 3000™ Peptide stimulates collagen production to visibly plump, firm and smooth the delicate under-eye area. Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract specifically diminishes signs of eye fatigue for brighter, more youthful-looking eyes.

How it feels: Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and completely non-greasy. The cooling sensation instantly refreshes tired eyes while creating the perfect makeup base.

When to use: AM & PM after cleansing and serums, before moisturizer. For best results, apply to damp skin and store in the refrigerator for an extra depuffing boost.

Suitable for:

All skin types
Sensitive skin
Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Targets:

Puffiness
Dark Circles

How to Use

Use AM and PM. After cleansing and hydrating, squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your ring finger (enough for both eyes). Gently pat around the eye contour.
