Vita-C Brightening Eye Cream

What it is: A gel-cream that delivers depuffing, color-correcting, brightening benefits right away and firms, smoothes and lifts lifting over time.

What it does: This eye cream is ultranourishing for the delicate eye area, where sun damage and premature aging show up first. It sinks in easily and works brilliantly under makeup—the light, hydrating texture is exquisite. It's the ultimate no-makeup dream cream.

Key ingredients:

- Vitamin C combined with niacinamide (vitamin B3) and colorless carotenoids sourced from tomatoes: brightens, smoothes texture and protects skin

- Phytomimetic vitamin A: a nonirritating plant-based retinoid alternative that helps smooth the look of wrinkles and lift skin

- Caffeine: helps depuff

- Amino acids and glycerin: moisturize beautifully without clogging pores

- Micro-illuminating pearls: help visibly color-correct dark circles, no matter your skin tone

Research results:

In a one-week, third-party consumer-perception study of 33 women between the ages of 32 and 63:

- 100% agreed the eye area felt hydrated

- 100% agreed the eye area looked healthy and glowing

- 94% agreed the product helped brighten dull, tired-looking skin around the eyes

How to use: Gently pat the eye cream onto clean skin beneath and around the eyes a.m. and p.m. This eye cream is a brilliant first step before makeup, great on its own and amazing layered into a routine.
