At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with under-eye puffiness, dark circles, or fine lines can be frustrating, especially when they make you look more tired than you feel. This innovative eye cream offers a multi-targeted approach for a brighter, smoother, and more lifted appearance.
- What it is: A concentrated 3-in-1 eye cream designed to address under-eye bags, dark circles, and wrinkles.
- Who it's for: Suitable for all skin types, especially those concerned with signs of fatigue and aging around the eyes.
- Key Benefits: Visibly lifts and firms the under-eye area, brightens the appearance of dark circles, and strengthens the delicate skin barrier to reduce fine lines.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
- Dr. Melaxin EYEPHALT™ Eye Cream: Apply a tiny amount (see "How to Use") to the under-eye area.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Finish by protecting and sealing in the treatment.
Note: Already own a similar eye cream? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
The brand recommends a specific protocol for daytime use if you plan to wear makeup.
- Step 1: Cleanse your face as usual.
- Step 2: Apply the EYEPHALT™ Eye Cream to the under-eye area.
- Step 3: Wait for 20 minutes.
- Step 4: Gently wash your face to remove any residue.
- Step 5: Proceed with your regular AM routine (toner, serum, moisturiser) and finish with Sunscreen SPF 30+.
- Step 6: Apply makeup as desired.
This method ensures a smooth makeup application without a white cast or residue from the tightening ingredients.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Nighttime is the recommended time for optimal results, as the product can work undisturbed.
- Step 1: Double Cleanse: Use an oil cleanser to melt away makeup and sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser.
- Step 2: Hydrating Layers (Optional): Apply your preferred toner and/or serum.
- Step 3: Dr. Melaxin EYEPHALT™ Eye Cream: Apply as the dedicated eye treatment step before your final moisturiser.
- Step 4: Moisturiser: Apply your facial moisturiser, avoiding the area where the eye cream was applied.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
A little goes a very long way. Using too much can leave a white, crusty residue.
- Amount: Squeeze a very small amount, about the size of half a grain of rice (approx. 0.1g), onto the included spatula or your ring finger. This is for BOTH eyes.
- Apply to: The under-eye bag area only. Apply along the orbital bone (the bone under your eye). Avoid the mobile eyelid and getting too close to the lash line.
- Method: Apply with 2-3 light strokes or gentle pats. Do not rub. You may feel a tightening sensation as it dries.
- Frequency: Recommended for nighttime use for best results. Can be used during the day by following the specific wash-off protocol (see AM Routine).
Important Note on Bio-Spicules: This product contains Bio-Spicules (Hydrolyzed Sponge), which are micro-needles that help deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin. This may cause a mild, temporary stinging or tingling sensation upon application. Applying it after your hydrating toner/serum can help minimize this sensation. If irritation is severe or persists, discontinue use.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This eye cream is designed for consistent, nightly use.
- Daily: Use every PM as the eye cream step in your routine.
- Active Ingredient Nights: It is generally safe to use on nights you are also using other actives like retinoids or exfoliants on the rest of your face, as it is applied to a targeted area. However, if your skin is highly sensitive, you may prefer to use it on non-active nights to avoid any potential for compounded sensitivity.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate (First 1-2 uses): Many users report an immediate tightening and smoothing effect as the cream dries. This can visibly flatten puffiness and fine lines for several hours. A mild tingling or tightening sensation is normal.
- 2-4 Weeks: With consistent nightly use, you may notice a reduction in dark circles and an improvement in under-eye firmness. Brand-sponsored clinical trials suggest significant improvements in eye bag volume after 4 weeks.
- 4-8+ Weeks: Long-term benefits include a stronger skin barrier around the eyes, softened appearance of wrinkles, and sustained improvement in elasticity and firmness.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why this, not just your face cream? The skin around your eyes is much thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face. This cream is specifically formulated with potent, targeted ingredients like EGF and a brightening complex at concentrations suitable for this sensitive area, while also being tested for eye-area safety. Regular face moisturisers may be too heavy, leading to milia (small white bumps), or may lack the specific actives needed to address concerns like puffiness and dark circles.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Hydrating Toners & Serums: Applying this cream after hydrating layers can help buffer the tingling sensation from the spicules.
- Gentle Moisturisers: Use your regular moisturiser on the rest of your face.
- Retinoids/Acids (on other areas): It is safe to use this eye cream while using retinoids or exfoliating acids on other parts of your face. Apply the eye cream first to the delicate eye area to create a protective barrier.
-
Use Carefully With:
- Other Eye Creams: Avoid layering with other active eye creams to prevent irritation. Stick to one targeted eye product per routine.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- All Skin Types: The brand states it is suitable for all skin types.
- Mature Skin: Excellent for targeting age-related concerns like loss of firmness and wrinkles.
- Sensitive Skin: While suitable, the presence of Bio-Spicules may cause a tingling sensation. A patch test is strongly advised. Some users have reported redness or irritation, particularly with overuse.
- Milia-Prone Skin: The formula is not overly rich, but as with any eye cream, use a very small amount (half a rice grain per eye) to minimize the risk of milia.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This product is formulated to address the primary causes of a tired-looking eye area, which the brand identifies as the degradation of the skin's Extracellular Matrix (ECM) or 'elastic bands' under the eyes.
- Under-Eye Bags & Puffiness: A primary target of this cream, which aims to lift and firm the area.
- Dark Circles: Contains a brightening complex to help illuminate the under-eye area.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Works to soften the appearance of wrinkles by boosting elasticity and strengthening the skin barrier.
- Loss of Firmness: Engineered to restore elasticity to the delicate under-eye skin.

- EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): A protein composed of 53 amino acids that signals cells to boost collagen production, helping to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
- Bio-Spicule (Hydrolyzed Sponge): These are microscopic needles derived from marine sponges. They create tiny pathways in the skin to help deliver active ingredients like EGF deeper into the under-eye's supportive structures.
- Brightening Complex (TranEX-1, Arbutin, Glutathione): A powerful trio that works to lighten the appearance of dark circles and even out skin tone around the eyes.
- Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that is an MFDS-certified brightening agent. It also helps strengthen the skin barrier and has anti-inflammatory properties.
- Adenosine: An MFDS-certified anti-wrinkle ingredient that energizes the skin's surface, resulting in a smoother appearance.
- Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that reinforces the skin's natural barrier, helping to lock in moisture and protect against external irritants.
Full INCI List: Water, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Sodium Silicate, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Arbutin, Glutathione, Hydrolyzed Sponge, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ceramide NP, Tocopherol.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. The product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
- Scent: Users report the product has no noticeable scent.
- EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
- Who should use with caution: Individuals with highly sensitive or reactive skin should be mindful of the Bio-Spicules, which are designed to create a micro-tingling sensation.
- Milia Caution: If you are prone to milia (small, hard white bumps), use this product sparingly. An amount smaller than half a grain of rice per eye is sufficient. Apply only to the orbital bone area, not on the mobile eyelid.
- Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a tiny amount to a small, discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the jawline. Wait 24 hours to check for any signs of significant irritation, redness, or rash. Due to the spicules, a mild, temporary tingling is expected. If you experience a severe burning sensation or a persistent rash, discontinue use.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: No specific contraindications are listed by the brand. However, as it contains potent actives, consulting with a healthcare professional before use is recommended.
- Safety Warning: Avoid direct contact with eyes. For external use only. Discontinue use if severe irritation occurs. Do not use on broken or irritated skin.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A cream that some users describe as feeling "glue-like" as it dries, creating a distinct tightening film on the skin.
- Finish: Dries down to a firm, smooth, matte finish. If too much is applied, it can leave a visible white residue.
- Scent: None.
- pH: Not published by the brand.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula appears to be FA-safe, containing no common triggers like oils, esters, or polysorbates that feed the Malassezia yeast.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: White, crusty residue under the eyes.
- Fix: You are using too much product. Reduce the amount to no more than half a grain of rice for both eyes. A very thin layer is key.
-
Issue: Tingling or stinging is uncomfortable.
- Fix: This is an expected sensation from the Bio-Spicules. Try applying the eye cream after your hydrating toner or serum to create a buffer. If the sensation is severe or accompanied by a rash, stop using the product.
-
Issue: Skin feels dry after application.
- Fix: This cream focuses on lifting and firming, not heavy moisturizing. Ensure you are using a good facial moisturiser on the surrounding areas. Some users found it drying and not hydrating enough for long-term use.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: The lightweight, non-greasy finish is well-suited for Mauritius's humid climate. It provides targeted treatment without adding extra oiliness. The tightening effect can feel particularly refreshing on warm days.
- Drier Winters/AC Exposure: While the firming action is beneficial year-round, you might find the formula isn't moisturizing enough on its own during drier periods or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments. Ensure you use a hydrating toner and a reliable facial moisturiser to keep the surrounding skin balanced.

-
Ingredient Rationale: The product's benefits are based on the known functions of its active ingredients:
- EGF & Bio-Spicules: This combination is designed based on the rationale that stimulating collagen production and delivering actives directly to the under-eye's elastic structures can improve firmness.
- Brightening Complex (Arbutin, Glutathione): These ingredients are well-documented in cosmetic science for their ability to inhibit melanin production and lighten hyperpigmentation, which provides the rationale for their use against dark circles.
- Adenosine & Niacinamide: Both are functional ingredients recognized by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for their anti-wrinkle and brightening properties, respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- 1. Why does the cream tingle when I apply it?
- The tingling sensation is caused by the "Bio-Spicules" (hydrolyzed sponge). These are tiny micro-needles designed to help the active ingredients penetrate more effectively. The sensation is normal and should be temporary. If it feels too intense, try applying it after a hydrating toner.
- 2. Can I use this cream on my eyelids?
- No, it is recommended to apply this cream only to the under-eye area along the orbital bone. Avoid the mobile eyelid and getting too close to your lash line to prevent irritation.
- 3. Will this cause milia (small white bumps)?
- The formula is not exceptionally heavy, but any eye cream can potentially contribute to milia if over-applied. To minimize risk, use a very small amount (half a grain of rice per eye) and pat it in gently.
- 4. Can I use this with my retinol eye cream?
- It is best not to layer multiple active eye creams in the same routine. Choose one product to use at a time to avoid potential irritation and to properly gauge its effectiveness.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: Individuals primarily concerned with under-eye puffiness, bags, and loss of firmness.
- Key Benefits: Provides an immediate tightening effect and works long-term to improve elasticity, brighten dark circles, and strengthen the skin barrier.
- Keep in Mind: Contains Bio-Spicules that cause a tingling sensation, which may not be suitable for extremely sensitive skin. Using too much product can leave a white residue. It is more of a firming treatment than a deeply hydrating eye cream.
