Why you'll love it The eye contour looks firmer and better supported with consistent use Persian Silk Tree Bark Extract is used specifically for tired, shadowed eyes Gluconolactone gently refines the surface without sensitivity Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride softens the thinnest skin on the face Acacia Seyal Gum Extract gives an immediate smoothing finish A light texture that absorbs quickly and does not crease under concealer No retinoids or strong acids, so it suits sensitive skin What it is A firming eye serum that pairs collagen with a botanical chosen specifically for the eye area. To be precise about what topical collagen does: the collagen molecule is far too large to reach the deeper layers where the skin's own collagen sits. What it does is work at the surface - holding moisture, supporting elasticity and giving skin a firmer, better-supported appearance. That is a genuine cosmetic benefit, and a different claim from rebuilding collagen. Around the eyes, where the skin is thinnest and has the fewest oil glands, that surface support makes a disproportionate difference. Albizia Julibrissin (Persian Silk Tree) Bark Extract is the second element, and it is a considered choice: it is used in cosmetics specifically for the appearance of tired, shadowed eyes and puffiness rather than as a general-purpose botanical. Gluconolactone, the mildest exfoliating acid, refines the surface gently, and Acacia Seyal Gum Extract gives an immediate smoothing finish. Key ingredients Collagen Works at the skin's surface, holding moisture and supporting elasticity for a firmer eye contour. Albizia Julibrissin (Persian Silk Tree) Bark Extract A botanical used in cosmetics specifically for the appearance of tired, shadowed eyes and puffiness. Gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid, the mildest class of exfoliating acid, gentle enough for the eye contour. Acacia Seyal Gum Extract A plant gum that gives an immediate smoothing, tightening finish to the skin. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride A lightweight emollient that softens the thin skin around the eyes. Who it's for This eye serum is for anyone noticing a loss of firmness alongside a tired or shadowed look around the eyes. It suits all skin types, including sensitive. Darkness from dullness or puffiness responds; darkness caused by hollowing or visible blood vessels will not change with any topical product. Contains collagen, so it is not suitable for vegans. What to expect The eye area looks smoother immediately from the Acacia gum finish, and less tired with consistent use. Firming benefits are cumulative: most people notice the area looking better supported between six and ten weeks of twice-daily use. How to use Apply a small amount around the orbital bone each morning and evening. Dot along the bone beneath the eye and up toward the outer corner, then tap gently with your ring finger until absorbed. Do not pull or drag the skin. Avoid the lash line and the inside of the orbital bone.

Collagen works at the skin's surface, holding moisture and supporting elasticity for a firmer appearance. It does not replace the collagen in deeper layers - the molecule is far too large for that. Is it vegan? No. Collagen is animal-derived, so it is not suitable for vegans. Will it help with puffiness? Persian Silk Tree Bark Extract is used for the appearance of tired, puffy eyes, so it may help. Puffiness has many causes, including sleep and salt intake. Will it help with dark circles? Darkness from dullness or puffiness responds. Darkness from hollowing or visible blood vessels will not change with any topical product. How close to my eyes should I apply it? Stay on the orbital bone. Avoid the lash line and direct contact with the eyes. How does it differ from the other collagen eye serums in the range? This one pairs collagen with Persian Silk Tree Bark Extract for tiredness and puffiness. The hyaluronic acid version leads with hydration instead. Does it crease under concealer? No. It is light and absorbs quickly. Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. There is no Retinol and only the mildest class of acid.
