Eye care's final step: where eye cream fits in
Eye cream is applied after essence or serum, but before your moisturizer. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on your face, so it deserves its own targeted treatment. Once you've prepped your skin with toner and essence, apply eye cream to the eye area first, then follow with your face cream on the rest of your complexion.
Morning and evening use
In the morning, it doubles as a makeup base — covering dark circles while adding instant radiance. At night, it works as a nourishing treatment to restore tired eyes after a long day. The tone-evening effect makes it especially useful in your AM routine, and on light makeup days, you can skip concealer altogether and rely on this alone to brighten the under-eye area.
A pea-sized amount, patted in gently
Dispense a pea-sized amount onto your fingertip and dot it around both eye areas. Starting from under the eye, gently tap the product along the outer corner and up onto the eyelid using your ring finger. Avoid rubbing — the skin here is too delicate. Light tapping is key. The lightweight, non-sticky texture absorbs smoothly without settling into fine lines.
Pairing tips by skin concern
- If dark circles are your main concern: layer this eye cream over a vitamin C serum to boost tone-evening and coverage
- If fine lines around the eyes bother you: prep with a deeply hydrating toner, then apply eye cream thoroughly to support firmness
- If under-eye dryness is severe: use alongside a ceramide essence to help reinforce the skin barrier
Important usage notes
This is a dual-function product containing niacinamide (brightening) and adenosine (anti-wrinkage). It passed dermatological testing with a non-irritating result, but if it's your first time using it, start with a small amount to test. After opening, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and discontinue use if any irritation occurs — consult a dermatologist if needed.
