• Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types, especially those concerned with dryness, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and puffiness around the eyes. Its gentle formula is well-suited for sensitive skin.
• What it does: Deeply moisturizes, helps to visibly soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin elasticity. The cooling metal tip helps to reduce puffiness for a more refreshed look. (Evidence: Brand test / Ingredient rationale)

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean base.
2. Apply Eye Cream: Squeeze a tiny amount (half a grain of rice per eye) and use the applicator to dot it around your orbital bone. Gently pat in with your ring finger.
3. Moisturise/Protect: Follow with your moisturiser (PM) or sunscreen (AM) on the rest of your face.

Note: Already own an eye cream? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist Routine (4 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Hydrating Toner/Serum (Optional): Apply a lightweight, watery serum for extra hydration.
3. [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply a tiny amount of the Probio-Cica Eye Cream around the orbital bone.
4. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. This is crucial to protect the delicate eye area and prevent further signs of aging.

Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers, and wait 1-2 minutes after applying the eye cream before your sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (4 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. Toner/Serum: Apply any hydrating or targeted serums to your face.
3. [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply the Probio-Cica Eye Cream around the orbital bone.
4. Moisturiser: Lock everything in with a moisturiser suitable for your skin type.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture (like a watery toner) to the thickest (like a cream).

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: Half a grain of rice per eye. Using too much can increase the risk of milia (small white bumps).
• Apply to: The orbital bone (the bone around your eye socket). Avoid applying directly to your mobile eyelid or lash line, as the product will naturally migrate.
• Method:
  1. Squeeze the tube to dispense a small amount.
  2. Use the cooling metal applicator to gently dot the cream around the orbital bone.
  3. Use your ring finger (it has the gentlest touch) to lightly pat the cream into the skin until absorbed. Do not rub or pull.
• Wait Times: Wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or concealer to prevent pilling.
• Frequency: Start by using it once daily in the evening for the first week to allow your skin to adjust. If well-tolerated, increase to twice daily (AM and PM).

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

Pilling (when product balls up) is usually caused by applying too much product or not waiting long enough between layers. Apply a very thin layer of the eye cream and wait at least 1-2 minutes for it to fully absorb before applying sunscreen or concealer.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Teens should focus on a basic routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF; this product is better suited for those starting to see signs of aging or experiencing significant dryness.

This eye cream is gentle enough for daily use alongside your core routine.

• Daily Use: Apply in the AM and PM as the eye care step in your routine.
• If Using Strong Actives: If you use a strong retinol or exfoliating acid (AHA/BHA) on your face at night, you can still use this eye cream. Simply be careful to keep the strong actives away from the delicate eye area where this cream is applied.
• AM/PM Cheat-Sheet: Bakuchiol is photostable and can be used day or night. The key is consistent use for best results, protected by sunscreen every morning.
• Mauritius Note: The cooling metal applicator provides a welcome soothing sensation in our warm, humid climate, helping to reduce morning puffiness.

• Immediately: The area will feel hydrated, soothed, and refreshed thanks to the cream's texture and the cooling metal applicator.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, the skin around the eyes should appear more plump and feel consistently moisturized throughout the day.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of fine lines may be visibly softened, and skin may feel firmer. Brightening effects on mild dark circles may become more noticeable. Results depend on consistent use and diligent sun protection.

• Why this, not just your face moisturiser? The skin around the eyes is up to 10 times thinner and has fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dryness and the first signs of aging. This cream is specifically formulated with gentle but effective ingredients like Bakuchiol to target these issues without overwhelming the delicate area.
• Why this, not strong prescription retinoids right away? Jumping straight to high-strength retinoids around the eyes can cause significant irritation, peeling, and dryness, potentially worsening the look of wrinkles temporarily. Bakuchiol offers similar benefits for fine lines and elasticity with a much lower risk of irritation, making it a safer and more comfortable starting point.

• Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid serums, niacinamide, most gentle moisturisers, and daily sunscreen. The Probio-Cica complex is designed to be soothing and works well in a routine focused on barrier support.
• Use With Caution: If you are using other potent active eye treatments (like a high-concentration Vitamin C or retinol eye cream), it is best to alternate them on different nights rather than layering them together to avoid potential irritation.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to mobile eyelids, the lash line, or on broken or irritated skin.

• Dry to Very Dry Skin: Excellent. The nourishing texture provides lasting hydration and helps combat dryness and flakiness around the eyes.
• Normal to Combination Skin: Very good. The cream absorbs well without feeling heavy, making it suitable for year-round use.
• Oily Skin: Good. Use a very small amount to get the benefits without adding excess richness. The formula is not overly greasy.
• Sensitive Skin: Excellent. The formula is built around SKIN1004's signature soothing Centella ingredients and is free of added fragrance and essential oils. As always, a patch test is recommended.
• Milia-Prone Skin: Use with caution. While not overly occlusive, any rich cream can be a potential trigger for milia in highly susceptible individuals. The key is to use a minimal amount (half a rice grain per eye).

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Lactobacillus/Centella Asiatica Extract Ferment Filtrate (Probio-Cica): SKIN1004's unique fermented Centella. Fermentation breaks down the molecules, allowing for better absorption and enhanced soothing and barrier-repairing properties.
• Bakuchiol: A well-researched, plant-derived antioxidant that functions as a gentle alternative to retinol. It helps improve skin texture, elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines without the common irritation associated with traditional retinoids.
• Hydrolyzed Extensin (Carrot Collagen): A plant-based collagen derived from carrots. It acts as a powerful humectant, helping the skin to retain moisture, which plumps the skin and smooths the look of fine lines.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten the skin, improve uneven skin tone, and strengthen the skin's barrier.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient certified by the MFDS for its anti-wrinkle benefits. It energizes the skin's surface, promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that is crucial for reinforcing the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss, and protecting against external irritants.

• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list. However, individual sensitivities can vary. A patch test is always advised.

Who should use this: Adults concerned with signs of aging, dryness, or fatigue around the eyes. Suitable for beginners to anti-aging eye creams due to its gentle nature.

Who should use with caution:

• Milia-Prone Individuals: Use a very small amount and pat gently to avoid overloading the pores in this delicate area.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: There is insufficient published safety data on the use of topical Bakuchiol during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is best to consult with your doctor before use.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a tiny, pea-sized amount of the cream to a clean patch of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or a rash.
3. If no reaction occurs, re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours, as some reactions can be delayed.
4. If irritation occurs at any point, discontinue use.

• Texture: A smooth, creamy, balm-like texture that is rich and nourishing but not heavy or greasy. It spreads easily on the skin.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling deeply moisturized and looking subtly dewy and plump. Absorbs well without a sticky or oily residue.
• Scent: Fragrance-free.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but typically creams of this nature are formulated at a skin-friendly pH of approximately 5.5 - 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients that may be a concern for those with severe fungal acne (e.g., Shea Butter, Glyceryl Stearate, Macadamia Oil, Oleic Acid). If you are highly prone to fungal acne, a patch test is strongly recommended. Individual responses vary.

• If you develop milia (small white bumps): You are likely using too much product. Reduce the amount to no more than half a grain of rice per eye and ensure you are patting it in gently only on the orbital bone.
• If the product pills under makeup: This is often due to applying too much or not allowing enough absorption time. Use a thinner layer and wait a full 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or concealer.
• If you see no results after 8 weeks: Ensure you are using the product consistently every day and, most importantly, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single morning. Sun exposure is a primary driver of skin aging, and without daily protection, any eye cream's benefits will be undermined.

This eye cream is well-suited for the Mauritian climate. Its nourishing formula provides ample hydration to combat dryness from air-conditioning, yet it's lightweight enough not to feel heavy or greasy in our high humidity.

• Humid Summers: The texture absorbs well without leaving a sticky film. The cooling metal applicator is especially refreshing on warm mornings to help with puffiness.
• Drier "Winters"/AC Exposure: The ceramide and shea butter content provides a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss in drier air, keeping the delicate eye area comfortable and hydrated.

• Our Sourcing: At Adilsons, we source all our products directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
• Packaging Cues: Look for the high-quality SKIN1004 packaging with a mix of English and Korean text, a clear batch code, and expiration date. The product comes in a tube with a sealed nozzle and a distinct metal applicator tip.
• Verification: If you have any doubts about your product's authenticity, please contact us on WhatsApp at +230 5 778 2336 with your order number and photos of the product.

• Wrinkle Improvement (Brand test): SKIN1004 conducted an in-house clinical study on 20 subjects. After 4 weeks of use, they reported a 35.18% improvement in the under-eye wrinkle area. This claim is based on brand-published data.
• Gentle Anti-Aging (Ingredient rationale): Bakuchiol has been studied in independent clinical trials and compared to retinol. A notable study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that 0.5% bakuchiol cream applied twice daily for 12 weeks was comparable to 0.5% retinol cream in reducing wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation, but with significantly less stinging and scaling. This product leverages this gentle-but-effective mechanism.
• Barrier Support (Ingredient rationale): The formulation includes a combination of fermented Centella Asiatica, Ceramides, and Hyaluronic Acid. These ingredients are well-documented in dermatological literature to support the skin's natural barrier, improve hydration, and reduce inflammation.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, effective, and safe K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection, prioritizing formulations that are backed by evidence and suitable for the Mauritian climate. Our promise is one of Ṣidq (truthfulness) and ʿAdl (fairness) in every product we offer, ensuring you can make informed and mindful choices for your skin.

Can I apply this cream directly on my eyelids?

It is generally recommended to apply eye creams only on the orbital bone, below the eye and just under the eyebrow. The product will naturally migrate closer to the eye. Applying it directly to the mobile eyelid can increase the risk of irritation or getting product in your eye.

What is the difference between Bakuchiol and Retinol?

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived antioxidant that provides benefits similar to retinol—such as improving the look of fine lines and skin elasticity—but is much gentler on the skin. It does not typically cause the dryness, peeling, or photosensitivity associated with traditional retinoids, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin or those new to anti-aging actives.

How should I clean the metal applicator?

For best hygiene, wipe the metal tip with a clean tissue after each use. You can also occasionally wipe it with a cotton pad soaked in a gentle toner or rubbing alcohol to sanitise it.

Is this product safe to use during pregnancy?

There is not enough published data on the safety of topical Bakuchiol for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As a precaution, we recommend consulting your doctor before incorporating this product into your routine.

Best For: Individuals looking for a gentle yet effective daily eye cream to address the first signs of aging, such as fine lines and dryness, without the risk of irritation from traditional retinoids.
