Geologie - Eye Cream Dark Circle Formula

Hero Ingredients: This formula is packed with a strategic blend of actives.

Kojic Acid: Derived from mushrooms, this is a star ingredient for brightening. It helps to inhibit the production of melanin, which can visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles and sun spots over time.

Caffeine: Just like your morning coffee, caffeine provides a temporary tightening and de-puffing effect. It helps to constrict blood vessels, which can reduce the look of puffiness and under-eye bags.

Peptides: These are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins like collagen. They help to firm the skin and improve elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid: This duo provides support. Niacinamide helps to calm and brighten the skin, while Hyaluronic Acid delivers essential, lightweight hydration.

Full Ingredient List:
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Candelilla/Jojoba/Rice Bran Polyglyceryl-3 Esters, Glyceryl Stearate, Niacinamide, Kojic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Caffeine, Dipeptide-2, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Cetearyl Alcohol, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Xanthan Gum, Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Steareth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

This eye cream is suitable for all skin types. It's specifically formulated for anyone looking to address the common concerns of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines around the eyes.

Visibly Reduces Dark Circles: Kojic Acid and Niacinamide work together to brighten the under-eye area and even out skin tone.

Diminishes Puffiness: Caffeine helps to reduce the appearance of morning puffiness and under-eye bags.

Smooths Fine Lines: Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid help to firm and hydrate the skin, making fine lines less noticeable.

Hydrates Delicate Skin: Provides moisture to the thin skin around the eyes without being heavy or greasy.

A little goes a long way. Use twice daily, morning and night, on clean skin.

Step 1: Squeeze a very small amount (about the size of half a pea) onto your fingertip.

Step 2: Use your ring finger, as it applies the least amount of pressure, to gently tap the cream onto the skin under your eyes.

Step 3: Start from the inner corner and move outward, tapping gently along the orbital bone (the bone you can feel around your eye socket). Avoid pulling or rubbing the skin.

Step 4: Let it absorb fully before applying any other products.

This is a concentrated formula for a sensitive area. While designed to be gentle, if you have a history of very reactive skin, it's always wise to be cautious.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. Avoid getting the product directly in your eyes. Always perform a patch test on a small, discreet area of skin before first use.

An eye cream is one of those products that feels like an advanced step, but it's actually a simple and effective addition. The key to applying it is to be gentle. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your body, so tapping the product in with your ring finger is the best way to apply it without unnecessary pulling. Consistency is what yields results with this kind of product.

This product is fragrance-free to minimize potential irritation around the sensitive eye area.

Why can't I just use my regular face moisturizer around my eyes?
You can, but an eye cream is better. Face moisturizers are formulated for the thicker skin on the rest of your face and can sometimes be too heavy or contain fragrances that might irritate the delicate eye area. Eye creams are specifically designed with a lighter texture and a higher concentration of targeted ingredients (like Kojic Acid and Peptides) to address issues unique to the eyes, like dark circles and puffiness.

What actually causes dark circles?
Dark circles can be caused by a few things. Sometimes they're genetic, caused by thinner skin under the eyes that makes blood vessels more visible. They can also be caused by hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, or shadows created by puffiness (eye bags). A good eye cream tackles this from multiple angles: brightening the skin tone, de-puffing, and firming the skin.

How long will it take to see results?
You may notice an immediate improvement in hydration and a temporary reduction in puffiness from the caffeine. However, for more significant results, like the brightening of dark circles and the smoothing of fine lines, you need to be consistent. With twice-daily use, most people start to see noticeable improvements in 4-6 weeks.
