A New (No-Makeup) Lift to Wake Up Your Eyes

Introducing an eye cream that’s every bit as active as other skin care—with a color-correcting no-makeup lift to wake up your skin. “If your skin looks great, you don’t need makeup,” says Gwyneth, who’s barefaced (and glowy) most days at the office.

But because our eyes are the first place to show tiredness, not to mention sun damage and aging, eye makeup—specifically concealer—was a must for many of us. So we wanted an eye cream that did something—something that made us look noticeably fresher and more awake right away (with or without makeup) and delivered serious long-term results to make a real difference over time.

Vitamin C is one of our most-loved skin-care ingredients—the skin-protective antioxidant’s effect on skin tone and texture is remarkable. So centering an eye cream around active levels of vitamin C made powerful sense to us: Dark circles, wrinkles, and puffiness could all do with a dose of it, for sure.

For even more skin support, we added a plant-based retinol alternative to help smooth the look of wrinkles, firm, and lift skin; vitamin B3 (aka niacinamide) and colorless carotenoids sourced from tomatoes to luminize; caffeine to depuff; and glycerin and amino acids to moisturize. To bolster its potent brightening action, we added an invisible splash of tint plus micro-illuminating pearls to help color-correct dark circles, no matter what your skin tone.

The cream also had to sink in easily, delivering moisture without clogging pores, and work brilliantly under makeup. (It’s silky and light, plumping the look of wrinkles and smoothing texture.)

Engineering all these results from a clean formula definitely took some work, but it was worth it: The light gel-cream delivers benefits (for dark circles, puffiness, the look of wrinkles) that you can see right away, and they build over time—it’s the ultimate no-makeup dream cream.

Okay, this stuff is incredible. We took an ingredient we know works and put it where many of us really need it: under our eyes. And if your skin looks this great, you don’t need makeup.”

The Lifting, Firming, Brightening Results Build Over Time

All the instant benefits compound with repeated use, for noticeable improvement in the look of brightness, puffiness, wrinkles, and dryness in the future (as well as firming and lifting).

tip: ConsistenCY is everything

The results build over time, so smooth it on at least once a day and keep at it.

“The results are hard to believe—I got a subscription as soon as they were available.”
