‘I’m 63 & This Eye Serum Really Does Make My Under-Eyes Look Brighter’

Key ingredients:

5% Niacinamide: Derived from vitamin B3, niacinamide is one of my favorite ingredients I look to for my 35-year-old skin. Its main function is to brighten, and this potent dose works overtime to reduce the appearance of dark circles.

Vitamin C: It’s in oil-soluble form, so it’s more shelf-stable and has a longer lifespan in your bathroom cabinet. Vitamin C is a derm-favorite for tired, aging skin, as it naturally brightens the complexion.

Caffeine: Coffee doesn’t just wake up your brain—it wakes up your under-eyes too. Reducing inflammation, caffeine is a popular eye cream ingredient because it really does work.

Dual Peptides: This ingredient helps reduce puffiness.

Squalane: Biossance’s squalane is derived from sugarcane, which is actually what Biossance is known for formulating. The sugarcane squalane is bio-identical to the squalane human skin produces, but is vegan and ethically sourced (versus traditionally-engineered squalane). Its main function is to hydrate and soften skin.
