What it is
An eye serum formulated for men - and the most useful single product for anyone whose main concern is looking tired.
The reasoning is anatomical. Skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face, has the fewest oil glands and loses water faster than anywhere else. That is why tiredness and fine lines show there first, and why applying a face cream to the area does less than people assume. It is also the product men are least likely to own, which makes it the biggest available improvement to most men's routines.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is the active, chosen because it does not sting - which matters more near the eyes than anywhere. Chondrus Crispus (Red Seaweed) Powder holds hydration with no weight or shine, and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder soothes.
Key ingredients
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C)
One of the gentlest and most stable forms of Vitamin C. It brightens the look of tired, dull skin and does not sting.
Chondrus Crispus (Red Seaweed) Powder
A marine polysaccharide that forms a light hydrating film around the eyes, with no weight or shine.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder
A calming botanical that soothes the thinnest skin on the face.
Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum
A plant gum that works with the seaweed to hold moisture at the surface.
Who it's for
This eye serum is for men whose main concern is looking tired, which for most people means the eye area more than the face.
It suits all skin types, and the oil-free texture particularly suits skin that gets shiny. Darkness from dullness or dryness responds; darkness caused by hollowing or visible blood vessels will not change with any topical product.
What to expect
The eye area feels hydrated and looks less tired from the first use, with no shine and no residue. Brightening is gradual: improved radiance within three to four weeks, with more even tone between six and eight weeks.
How to use
Apply a small amount around the orbital bone, morning or 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 rub. Avoid the lash line and the inside of the orbital bone. In the morning, finish with SPF over the area.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a separate eye product?
Skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face and loses water fastest, which is why tiredness shows there first. A face cream does less there than people assume.
Will it help with dark circles?
Darkness from dullness or dryness responds. Darkness from hollowing or visible blood vessels will not change with any topical product.
Will it sting?
It shouldn't. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is one of the gentlest stabilized forms of Vitamin C.
How close to my eyes should I apply it?
Stay on the orbital bone. Avoid the lash line and direct contact with the eyes.
Will it leave a shine?
No. It is oil-free and absorbs in seconds.
How long does it take?
About ten seconds.
Can I apply it after shaving?
Yes, though the eye area is not usually shaved. Nothing in it will sting.
Is it vegan?
Yes. All the ingredients in this formula are plant-derived, marine algae or synthetic.
If I only buy one product, should it be this?
If your main concern is looking tired, arguably yes. It is the product most men do not own.
