3W CLINIC HONEY EYE CREAM

Badges: 100% Genuine | Pregnancy-Safe | Wudu-Compatible*

If your under-eyes look crepey by 3 PM in the office, that is not sudden aging—it is acute dehydration. The skin around your eyes lacks sufficient sebaceous glands to trap moisture in Mauritius's air-conditioned environments.

Pros: Excellent value for volume; highly emollient texture prevents daytime moisture loss; safe to layer with potent face serums.

Caveats: Contains fragrance which may irritate hyper-sensitive eyes; heavy waxes can trigger milia in very oily skin types.

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Step 1: Use AM and PM after your water-based serums but before your full-face moisturizer.

Step 2: Dispense half a rice-grain amount per eye.

Step 3: Tap gently using your ring finger along the orbital bone until absorbed.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Gentle Cleanse or Water Rinse

2. Hydrating Toner

3. Antioxidant Serum (if using)

4. 3W Clinic Honey Eye Cream

5. Face Moisturizer

6. Sunscreen SPF50+

In Mauritius morning humidity, humectants (HA, glycerin) work exceptionally well because they draw water from the humid air rather than from deeper skin layers.

1. Oil Cleanser (to remove SPF/Makeup)

2. Water Cleanser

3. Active Treatment (Acids or Retinoids on face)

4. 3W Clinic Honey Eye Cream

5. Night Cream or Sleeping Pack

Pat/Press (do not rub): Friction degrades formulas, stretches the thin periocular skin, and increases irritation. The ring finger naturally exerts the least pressure.

Apply to slightly damp skin. Emollients trap existing hydration; applying to completely dry skin misses the opportunity to seal in water.

Apply along the orbital bone (the hard bone under your eye). Do not apply directly onto the lash line, as body heat will cause the product to travel upward into the eye, causing stinging.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Viscosity ladder: thinnest → thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals.

Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup.

Amount defaults: Watery toner/essence: 5-8 drops per layer. Serum/ampoule: 2-3 drops or 1 pump. Eye product: ½ rice-grain per eye. Gel moisturizer: 1 pea-1.5 peas; Cream: 1-2 peas. Occlusive seal: rice-grain to pea-size max. Sunscreen: 2-finger rule for face; +1 finger for neck.

Hydrators are best on slightly damp skin. Retinoids are best on fully dry skin. Hard cap rule: If routine pills, stings, or feels heavy → reduce layers, not increase.

AM MAXIMUM STACK:

• Rinse / Gentle Cleanse (optional) - 1-2 pumps. Wait: rinse, pat to slightly damp. Use when: oily waking skin.
• pH-Prep / Balancing Toner (optional) - 5-8 drops. Wait: 10-20s.
• Hydrating Toner Layers (optional) - 5-8 drops per layer. Rule: in high humidity, often 1 layer is enough.
• Essence (optional) - 5-8 drops. Wait: 10-20s.
• Mist / Thermal Water (optional) - 1-2 light sprays.
• Booster / Soothing Serum (optional) - 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s.
• Antioxidant Lane (choose ONE) - L-Ascorbic Acid (dry skin, wait 1-3 min) OR Gentler antioxidant (damp skin, wait 30-60s).
• Pigment Support Lane (optional) - 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s.
• Hydration Serum Lane (optional) - 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s.
• Oil-Control Lane (optional) - 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s.
• Peptides / Growth-Factor Lane (optional) - 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s.
• Eye Serum/Cream (optional) - ½ rice-grain per eye. Wait: 10-20s.
• Moisturizer - gel 1-1.5 peas / cream 1-2 peas. Wait: 1 minute.
• Optional Sealing Layer (dry/AC only) - rice-grain to pea-size.
• Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) - 2-finger rule. Wait: 10-15 min.
• Lip SPF - 1 swipe.

In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM MAXIMUM STACK:

• Micellar (optional pre-cleanse) - saturate cotton.
• Oil Cleanser / Balm (if SPF/makeup) - massage on dry skin 30-60s → emulsify → rinse.
• Water Cleanser - 1-2 pumps. Gentle 30-60s, rinse.
• pH-Prep Toner (optional) - 5-8 drops.
• Hydrating Toner Layers (optional) - 5-8 drops per layer.
• Essence (optional) - 5-8 drops.
• Soothing / Barrier Serum (optional) - 2-3 drops.
• Anchor Product - Apply according to active type. Wait 2-5 min for retinoids, 1-3 min for acids, 30-60s otherwise.
• Targeted Serum (optional) - 2-3 drops.
• Moisturizer - gel 1-1.5 peas / cream 1-2 peas.
• Sleeping Mask (optional) - thin layer.
• Occlusive Seal (optional) - rice-grain to pea-size max.
• Spot Treatment / Pimple Patch - as needed.
• Lip Sleeping Mask (optional) - thin swipe.

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night.

One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure: default to the safest lane = barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.

This product sits at Rung 4 of the Viscosity Ladder (Thick Cream). It must be applied after all water-based serums (Rungs 1-2) and lotions (Rung 3), but before heavy facial occlusives or facial oils (Rung 5).

As an oil-in-water emulsion heavily fortified with waxes, it forms a semi-permeable film. Applying lightweight eye serums after this cream will block their absorption.

The molecular weight of the waxy emollients exceeds the 500 Dalton Rule, meaning they are explicitly designed to remain on the surface of the stratum corneum to prevent moisture evaporation.

This product does not cause purging, as it contains no cellular turnover accelerants. If you experience raised bumps, it is likely a milia reaction to the heavy emollient base—discontinue use.

Before starting this product, your routine MUST already include: a gentle cleanser and a daily sunscreen. Without these foundations, this product causes more harm than benefit.

Dehydration Lines: Heavy emollients physically trap water in the skin, temporarily plumping fine lines caused by lack of moisture.

Mild Hyperpigmentation: Niacinamide inhibits melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes, providing a gentle brightening effect over several months.

Cannot erase genetic dark circles. Cannot physically dissolve under-eye fat pads. Cannot lift sagging skin.

• COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 96 MUCIN POWER ESSENCE 100ML: Apply the essence first to flood the skin with humectants, then seal it in with the eye cream. (Use AM/PM).
• Beauty of Joseon RELIEF SUN : RICE + PROBIOTICS 50ML: Protects the periocular area from UV damage, which is strictly necessary for any brightening routine to work. (Use AM).
• SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA TONE BRIGHTENING CAPSULE AMPOULE 30ML: Layers perfectly underneath for added pigmentation targeting. (Use AM/PM).

Water-Permeable: This is an oil-in-water emulsion that does not form an impermeable silicone or acrylic film.

It can be washed away with normal water pressure during ablution without requiring a dedicated oil cleanser first.

Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

MYTH: 'Eye creams will erase my dark circles completely.'

REALITY: If your dark circles are genetic (deep-set eyes casting shadows) or vascular (visible veins under thin skin), no topical cream can alter that structure. Creams only treat pigmentary dark circles (PIH) and dehydration.

In air-conditioned environments, humectants draw moisture FROM your deeper skin layers instead of from the air. ALWAYS seal the under-eye area with an occlusive like this cream when in AC for extended periods.

Cross-Reactivity Map:

• Bee/pollen allergy → Honey Extract, Beeswax (Proceed with extreme caution or avoid).

This product does not contain ingredients known to interfere with topical prescription medications, but the heavy occlusive base may block the penetration of treatments applied over it.

Vegan Status: Not Vegan (Contains Honey Extract and Beeswax).*

Cruelty-Free Status: Brand states cruelty-free, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law. Cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt.*

MFDS Classification: General Cosmetic with functional notification for Brightening/Anti-Wrinkle (Niacinamide, Adenosine).

The Korean '미백' (mibaek) classification means regulation of melanin production — fading dark spots to reveal your natural tone. It does NOT bleach or change your natural complexion.

Evidence Confidence: Low to Medium (basic hydration and barrier function is well-proven, but structural anti-aging claims are marketing-driven).

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Unsafe. Contains Polysorbate 60, Cetearyl Alcohol, and Stearic Acid which feed Malassezia yeast.

Pilling Assessment: Low to Medium.

Because this product contains heavy waxes and mineral oil, applying high-silicone concealers immediately over it without allowing a 2-minute dry-down time will cause the makeup to slide or pill.

Mitigation: Apply sparingly (1/2 rice grain), pat firmly, and wait a full 60 seconds before applying makeup.

Baseline Color: Opaque white to very pale cream. Oxidation Warning Color: Deep yellowing.

Storage: Keep tube tightly capped. In Mauritius summer heat, the waxes can separate from the water base if left in a hot car or direct sunlight.

Spoilage Signs: Sour smell overriding the fragrance, or a watery liquid dispensing before the cream.

Patch Test: Apply a small amount behind the ear for 24h before applying near the eyes.

Emergency Stop Signals: Hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, breathing difficulty (seek emergency care).

If adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

• Rubbing the product in vigorously, which damages capillaries and worsens dark circles.
• Applying the cream over the entire eyelid, which causes the heavy base to migrate into the eye and blur vision.
• Using a large pea-sized amount per eye, which overloads the skin and triggers milia.

Maximum safe continuous use: Can be used daily indefinitely as it is a passive hydrator.

Volume: 40ml. Recommended amount per use: ~0.1ml (both eyes). Uses per container: approximately 400 applications.

At recommended dosage: approximately 200 days (6.5 months) if used twice daily. At common overdosing: depletes in approximately 3 months. Correct dosage is better for your skin AND extends product life.

Reorder in approximately 6 months. We recommend reordering 2 weeks before estimated depletion for shipping time.

A restorative, hyper-hydrating routine designed to combat aggressive AC environments.

The 3W Clinic Honey Eye Cream seals in moisture, sitting at Rung 4 of the viscosity ladder to act as a barrier defense.

AM Routine:

1. THE FACE SHOP RICE WATER BRIGHT FACIAL FOAMING CLEANSER 150ML (Pea size, lather well, rinse)
2. COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 96 MUCIN POWER ESSENCE 100ML (2 pumps, damp skin, wait 30s)
3. 3W CLINIC HONEY EYE CREAM (½ rice-grain per eye, tap gently)
4. Beauty of Joseon RELIEF SUN : RICE + PROBIOTICS 50ML (2-finger rule, wait 15 min before makeup)

PM Routine:

1. Double cleanse to remove SPF.
2. COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 96 MUCIN POWER ESSENCE 100ML
3. 3W CLINIC HONEY EYE CREAM
4. THE FACE SHOP RICE&CERAMIDE MOISTURIZING CREAM 50ML (Seal it all in)

If you are in AC all day, ensure you apply the eye cream immediately after your essence while the skin is still damp to lock in maximum hydration.

If you have an active milia breakout, skip the eye cream for 5 days and allow the follicles to clear naturally.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with 3W Clinic Honey Eye Cream, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If your primary goal is treating deeply rooted hyperpigmentation (dark circles) rather than just dehydration, consider the MARY&MAY TRANEXAMIC ACID+GLUTATHIONE EYE CREAM 12G instead.

The Mary&May formula offers a much stronger clinical pathway for fading pigment, though you trade off the high-volume value size of the 3W Clinic tube.

Choose 3W Clinic Honey Eye Cream over Mary&May if you need pure volume emollience: it provides 40ml of heavy barrier-sealing hydration at an exceptional value for chronic dry skin.

• Upgrade to THIS if your primary complaint is tight, dry, crepey skin under makeup (dehydration).
• Upgrade to THIS if you need an eye cream that can also double as a heavy neck cream for nighttime use.
• Do NOT upgrade to THIS if you are highly prone to under-eye milia.
• Do NOT upgrade to THIS if your sole focus is erasing stubborn brown dark circles.

This is best used AM and PM as a passive hydration lane. If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and safer.

This product's PRIMARY function is: localized occlusive hydration for the periocular area. You do NOT need this if you already own a gentle, fragrance-free facial moisturizer that you can safely bring up to the orbital bone without stinging.

Check your current shelf. Do you have an open eye cream? Skincare products lose efficacy after opening (PAO = 12 months). Buying new while old expires is waste.

Combining with a similar product: No Benefit (same mechanism). Do not stack two basic hydrating eye creams.

Quick Tip: 3W Clinic products feature distinct batch coding on the crimp of the tube. Always ensure the box text is crisp and correctly spelled.

3W Clinic is a well-established heritage brand in South Korea, previously known as Dodo Company. They are renowned for producing high-volume, budget-friendly skincare staples that focus on traditional ingredients.

Their formulation philosophy prioritizes accessible, functional daily care over complex or aggressive clinical actives. They are a staple in Korean households for dependable, everyday moisturization.

Users on r/AsianBeauty frequently praise the generous 40ml size, noting that it acts as an excellent, affordable night cream that doesn't irritate their eyes. Many use it as an all-over face cream during the winter due to its volume.

Mixed reviews often come from users who expected dramatic dark-circle reduction, noting that it only provided basic hydration and temporary plumping.

Common Praise: Huge size for the price, very moisturizing, sits well under makeup if given time to dry. Common Complaints: Strong floral scent, does not fix dark circles, can be too thick for humid days.

The plastic tube should be cut open when nearly empty to access the remaining 10% of the product. The outer cardboard box is recyclable.

Will this get rid of my eye bags?

No. Eye bags are caused by structural fat pads or fluid retention. Topical creams cannot physically shrink fat pads or dramatically drain fluid.

Can I use this on my neck?

Yes. The large 40ml size and emollient texture make it an excellent, affordable neck cream for preventing dehydration lines.

Why does my makeup crease when I use this?

You are likely applying too much, or not waiting long enough. Use only half a rice grain per eye and wait 60 to 120 seconds before applying concealer.

Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

The process where water passively evaporates from the skin into the air, leading to dehydration.

Emollient

An ingredient that fills in the gaps between skin cells with lipids, making the skin feel smooth and soft.

Milia

Tiny, hard white bumps that appear when keratin becomes trapped under the surface of the skin, often triggered by heavy creams.

Orbital Bone

The hard, circular bone structure that surrounds your eye socket. This is where eye cream should be applied.

This product is ideal for individuals seeking a straightforward, high-volume moisturizing eye cream to combat dryness and prevent dehydration lines without breaking the bank.

It acts as a reliable occlusive shield in heavy AC environments, visibly plumps fine lines through intense hydration, and offers exceptional value with its generous 40ml size.

Keep in mind that it will not erase genetic dark circles or deep wrinkles, and the heavy waxy base means it is not suited for highly oily, milia-prone skin types.
