At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)

- Texture: Lightweight, fast-absorbing gel-serum.
- Finish: Hydrated and smooth, with no greasy residue.
- Best For: All skin types, including sensitive and oily skin.
- Key Benefits: Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, diminishes puffiness, and brightens dark circles over time.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
1) Cleanser — Start with a clean base.
2) AXIS-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum — Apply a tiny amount around the orbital bone (see "How to Use").
3) Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — Seal in the treatment and protect your skin.
Note: Already have an eye cream? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Minimalist (3-4 steps):
- Cleanser
- Toner/Essence (Optional)
- AXIS-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum
- Sunscreen SPF 30+
Wait Times: Allow the eye serum to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Minimalist (3-4 steps):
- Cleanser (Double-cleanse if wearing makeup or water-resistant SPF)
- Toner/Essence/Serum
- AXIS-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum
- Moisturiser
Texture Rule: Apply products from thinnest to thickest. The eye serum goes on before your final face cream.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM & PM:
- Amount: Half a grain of rice per eye. Using too much can lead to milia (tiny white bumps).
- Apply to: The orbital bone (the bone around your eye socket). Do not apply directly to your eyelids or lash line.
- Method: Dispense onto your ring finger, gently dot around the orbital bone, and lightly tap until absorbed. The ring finger applies the least pressure.
- Frequency: Start once daily (PM) for a week, then increase to twice daily (AM & PM) if well-tolerated.
Makeup Tips (No Pilling):
- Pilling under concealer often means too much product was used or it wasn't given enough time to absorb.
- Apply a very thin layer of the eye serum and wait at least 1-2 minutes for it to set completely before applying sunscreen, primer, or concealer.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a burning rash occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
- Daily: This eye serum is gentle enough for use both morning and evening, every day.
-
AM/PM Cheat-Sheet:
- AM: Apply before your sunscreen to hydrate and protect the eye area.
- PM: Apply before your final moisturiser to work on repair and firmness overnight.
Mauritius Note: Its lightweight texture is comfortable year-round. In very humid weather, you might find it provides enough moisture on its own for the eye area during the day.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: The skin around the eyes feels hydrated and refreshed. The cooling applicator (if available on your version) can provide instant de-puffing.
- 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice improved hydration and a subtle brightening of the under-eye area.
- 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of fine lines may soften. Skin may feel firmer and more elastic. The visibility of dark circles can diminish with continued use, especially when paired with consistent sun protection.
Individual results vary. Efficacy is supported by consistent application and a healthy lifestyle.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why this, not that? A targeted eye serum is specifically formulated for the thin, delicate skin around the eyes. Using a regular heavy face cream can be too rich, potentially leading to milia (small, hard white bumps) and failing to deliver the targeted ingredients needed for concerns like puffiness and dark circles. This lightweight serum provides potent actives without unnecessary heaviness.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C serums, and most gentle hydrators. It can be used in a routine with retinoids (apply this first, let it absorb, then apply your retinoid to the rest of the face, avoiding the immediate eye area).
- Use Carefully: When layering with multiple other products, ensure each is fully absorbed to prevent pilling.
- Avoid On: Do not apply directly to eyelids or the lash line to prevent irritation.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination: Excellent. The lightweight, non-greasy texture provides hydration without adding shine.
- Dry / Dehydrated: Very Good. Provides a hydrating base layer. You may need to layer a richer cream on top for sufficient occlusion, especially at night.
- Sensitive: Excellent. Formulated to be gentle and hypoallergenic. However, a patch test is always recommended.
- Milia-Prone: Use with caution. The formula is lightweight, but always use the smallest effective amount (half a rice grain per eye) to minimize risk.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes ("crow's feet")
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Puffiness and under-eye bags
- Dark circles and uneven skin tone around the eyes
- Dryness and dehydration in the delicate eye area

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use with caution:
- Individuals prone to milia should use a very small amount and monitor their skin closely.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, there is insufficient published data on some of the peptides. Please consult your doctor before use.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a pea-sized amount of the serum to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
- Wait 24 hours. If you experience any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or a burning sensation, wash the area and do not use the product.
- If no irritation occurs, re-check at 48 and 72 hours before applying to the full eye area.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A lightweight, opaque white gel-serum that spreads easily.
- Finish: Absorbs quickly to leave a hydrated, smooth, non-tacky finish.
- Scent: None (fragrance-free).
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains some ingredients like Jojoba Seed Oil and Hydrogenated Lecithin which can be potential triggers for some. Patch testing is advised for those with highly sensitive fungal acne. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: Small white bumps (milia) appear.
Solution: You are likely using too much product. Reduce the amount to half a rice grain per eye and apply only to the orbital bone, not closer to the lash line. -
Issue: Pilling under makeup.
Solution: Apply a thinner layer and wait a full 1-2 minutes for the serum to absorb completely before applying concealer or foundation. -
Issue: Not seeing results after 2 weeks.
Solution: Skincare takes time. Consistent use twice daily for at least 4-8 weeks is needed to see visible improvements in fine lines and firmness. Ensure you are also using sunscreen daily to protect the results.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: The lightweight, fast-absorbing texture is ideal for Mauritius' humid conditions. It provides hydration without feeling heavy or causing makeup to slide.
- Drier Winter/AC Environments: Provides a solid base of hydration. If you are in strong air-conditioning or find your skin is drier in winter, you can easily layer a more nourishing moisturiser over it at night.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit:
- "I just started using the AXIS Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum. For me, it lifts the skin under my eyes and removes the appearance of dark circles so well!" - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-12)
- Users praise its lightweight and hydrating feel, noting that it absorbs nicely without being sticky, making it suitable for use under makeup.

Glossary (key terms explained)
- Vegan Collagen: A plant-based alternative to animal-derived collagen, typically produced through a fermentation process. It functions as a humectant to hydrate and help improve skin texture.
- Peptides: Short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin. In skincare, they signal the skin to perform specific functions, such as producing more collagen, to improve firmness.
- Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3 that helps brighten skin, support the skin barrier, and regulate oil production.
- Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient known for its ability to energize the skin's surface, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- Orbital Bone: The bone that surrounds your eye socket. Skincare for the eye area should be applied here, not on the soft tissue of the eyelid.
- Milia: Small, hard, white keratin-filled cysts that can form on the skin, sometimes triggered by overly rich creams around the eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
1. Can I apply this on my eyelids?
It is not recommended. Eye creams and serums should be applied to the orbital bone, which is the bone structure around your eye. Applying it too close to the eye or on the mobile eyelid can cause irritation.
2. Will this cause milia?
This serum has a very lightweight formula to minimize the risk of milia. However, anyone can develop milia if a product is applied too heavily. Always use a tiny amount (half a rice grain per eye) to prevent this.
3. How is the collagen "vegan"?
Unlike traditional collagen sourced from animals, the collagen in this serum is created using a sustainable fermentation process with yeast, making it 100% plant-based and cruelty-free.
4. Can I use it with my retinol eye cream?
It's best not to layer multiple targeted eye treatments at the same time to avoid overwhelming the skin. You could alternate them, for example, using this serum in the AM and a retinol eye cream in the PM, but start slowly and monitor for any signs of irritation.
