Dealing with fine lines or a loss of firmness around the eyes and face can be frustrating. The Medicube DEEP LIFTING PEPTIDE EYECREAM FOR FACE is a concentrated cream designed as a dual-purpose treatment to nourish the delicate eye area and provide firming care for the entire face.

Formulated with powerful peptides, this cream targets the visible signs of aging by supporting the skin's natural structure.

It's an ideal choice for those looking to simplify their routine with a single, potent product for both eye and facial anti-aging care.

If you're noticing fine lines, crow's feet, or a general loss of bounce and elasticity, this versatile cream offers a targeted solution.

• Who It's For: Ideal for individuals with normal, dry, combination, or mature skin who are concerned with signs of aging like wrinkles and loss of firmness.
• What It Does: This is a dual-function cream for both the eye area and the entire face. It uses a potent blend of peptides to support the skin's underlying structure, helping to improve elasticity and smooth the appearance of lines.
• Texture & Feel: A rich, nourishing cream that provides deep moisture without feeling overly heavy, leaving a smooth, comfortable finish.
• What to Expect: Immediately, skin feels hydrated and supple. With consistent use over several weeks, you can expect a plumper feel and a visible improvement in the smoothness and firmness of your skin.

Integrate this cream into a simple, effective routine to start seeing benefits quickly. Always listen to your skin.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean base by washing your face with a gentle cleanser. Pat dry.
2. Apply This Cream: Take a small amount (see "How to Use" for specifics) and gently apply to the eye area and the rest of your face.
3. Protect (AM) or Seal (PM): In the morning, always finish with sunscreen to protect your skin. In the evening, this can be your final moisturising step.

Mindful Tip: If you already have an eye cream or face moisturiser you like, consider using this product to target the area that needs more help first. Substitute, don't just stack.

In the morning, focus on hydration and protection. This cream can serve as both your treatment and moisturiser.

Minimalist Morning Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanse: Wash with a gentle cleanser or simply rinse with lukewarm water.
2. Apply This Cream: Use about half a pea-size for the entire face, focusing on areas with fine lines. Gently tap a tiny amount around the orbital bone (the bone around your eye).
3. Sunscreen: This is the most crucial anti-aging step. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Optional Additions:

• Hydrating Toner/Essence: Apply after cleansing and before this cream for an extra layer of hydration, especially if your skin feels tight.
• Vitamin C Serum: For added antioxidant protection and brightening, apply it before this cream. Allow it to absorb for a minute first.

Wait 1-2 minutes after applying the cream before your sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Your evening routine is the perfect time for repair and nourishment. This cream provides the rich moisture needed for overnight recovery.

Minimalist Evening Routine (2-3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to wash everything clean.
2. Apply This Cream: On clean, slightly damp skin, apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck. Gently tap a tiny amount around the eye area. This can serve as your all-in-one serum and moisturiser step.
3. Facial Oil (Optional): If your skin is very dry, you can lock everything in with a few drops of a non-comedogenic facial oil as the final step.

Optional Additions:

• Exfoliant: On nights you use a chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA), you can apply this cream afterwards to soothe and moisturise. Avoid using strong exfoliants and retinoids on the same night.

Remember the golden rule of layering: apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM & PM:

• Amount: Use the guide below. Using too much can feel heavy or lead to milia around the eyes.
  • For Eye Area Only: Half a grain of rice per eye.
  • For Full Face & Neck: A pea-sized amount.
• Apply to: Gently tap around the orbital bone using your ring finger. For the face, smooth outwards from the center. Don't forget your neck!
• Frequency: Start by using it once daily in the evening (PM). If your skin tolerates it well after a week, you can use it morning (AM) and evening (PM).
• Wait Times: Allow the cream to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.

If-This / Then-That Scenarios:

• If your skin is very oily: Use a smaller amount and consider using it only at night.
• If your skin is very dry or you're in A/C a lot: Apply it over a hydrating toner or serum to lock in extra moisture.
• If you use a retinoid: Alternate nights. Use the retinoid one night and this peptide cream the next to avoid over-stimulating the skin.
• If your makeup pills: You're likely using too much product or not waiting long enough for it to absorb before applying makeup.

Safety First: Avoid applying directly to eyelids or the lash line. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Always patch-test new products.

Peptide creams are generally gentle and designed for daily use. However, if you also use strong exfoliants or retinoids, it's best to alternate them to keep your skin barrier happy.

Example Weekly PM Routine:

• Monday: This Peptide Cream
• Tuesday: Chemical Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) followed by a simple moisturiser
• Wednesday: This Peptide Cream
• Thursday: Retinoid (if you use one) followed by a simple moisturiser
• Friday: This Peptide Cream
• Saturday: Soothing / Hydrating Night (e.g., a sleeping pack, no strong actives)
• Sunday: This Peptide Cream

Key Rules:

• Use this Peptide Cream every morning (AM) before sunscreen.
• In the evening (PM), use it on nights when you are NOT using other strong actives like high-concentration acids or retinoids.
• The goal is to have "active" nights and "recovery" nights. This peptide cream is excellent for both active support and recovery.

Mauritius Climate Tip: During hot and humid months, you might prefer to use this cream only at night. During the cooler, drier winter, using it AM and PM will provide welcome nourishment.

Consistency is key for anti-aging results. While this cream provides immediate comfort, its primary benefits for firmness and lines appear over time as your skin's natural processes are supported.

• Immediately: The rich texture provides instant relief to dry, tight skin. The eye area and face will feel deeply moisturised, supple, and smooth.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: With daily use, you may notice that your skin feels plumper and more hydrated throughout the day. Fine dehydration lines may appear less prominent.
• Within 4-8+ Weeks: This is when the peptide ingredients have had time to work. You may begin to see a visible improvement in skin firmness and a softening of the appearance of fine lines and expression lines. Results depend on consistent use and diligent sun protection.

Individual results will vary. Protecting your skin from the sun daily with a broad-spectrum SPF is essential to see and maintain results from any anti-aging product.

Let's replace a common skincare myth with an effective, evidence-based approach.

• The Myth: "You absolutely need a separate, expensive cream for your eyes and another for your face."
• The Reality (Why This is a Better Choice): While the skin around the eyes is thinner, it doesn't always require a completely different product. A well-formulated cream that is both potent and gentle can be effective for both. This "eye cream for face" concept simplifies your routine and ensures that your entire face benefits from powerful anti-aging ingredients like peptides. It's designed to be safe for the delicate eye area while being cosmetically elegant enough for all-over use, saving you a step and money.

This peptide cream is a versatile team player in most skincare routines. Here’s how to pair it for the best results.

✅ Works Well With:

• Hydrators (Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin): Layering this cream over hydrating serums will lock in moisture and enhance the plumping effect.
• Niacinamide: An excellent combination. Niacinamide supports the skin barrier and helps with tone, while peptides work on firmness.
• Vitamin C (in the AM): Use your Vitamin C serum in the morning for antioxidant protection, allow it to absorb, and then apply this cream before sunscreen.
• Sunscreen: An essential partner. Peptides work to repair, but sunscreen prevents the damage from happening in the first place.

⚠️ Use With Caution:

• Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): Avoid using them in the same PM routine to prevent potential irritation. It's best to alternate nights (e.g., Retinoid Monday, Peptides Tuesday).
• Strong Exfoliating Acids (Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic): Similar to retinoids, alternate nights. Using a strong acid and then this peptide cream in the same routine can sometimes be too stimulating for the skin.

• 🟢 Highly Recommended For:
  • Mature Skin: Directly targets concerns like loss of firmness and wrinkles.
  • Dry Skin: The rich, nourishing texture provides lasting moisture and helps fortify the skin barrier.
  • Normal to Combination Skin: Works well as an all-over night cream or a targeted treatment for the eye area and expression lines.
• 🟡 Use With Consideration:
  • Oily Skin: The rich formula might feel heavy for all-over use, especially in a humid climate. Best used as a targeted eye cream or a night cream in smaller amounts.
  • Sensitive Skin: Peptides are generally very well-tolerated. However, as with any new product, a patch test is recommended to ensure compatibility.
• 🔴 Not Ideal For:
  • Extremely Acne-Prone Skin: If you are prone to breakouts from richer creams, you might prefer a lighter gel-based moisturiser. Patch testing is crucial.

This cream is formulated to address the primary visible signs of skin aging.

• Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Peptides are known to support the skin's natural collagen and elastin, helping to smooth the appearance of crow's feet, forehead lines, and smile lines over time.
• Loss of Firmness & Elasticity: By reinforcing the skin's structure, the formula works to improve bounce and resilience, leading to a firmer look and feel.
• Dryness & Dehydration around the Eyes: The rich, emollient base provides deep and lasting hydration to the delicate eye area, which is often the first place to show dryness.
• Overall Fatigued Appearance: By nourishing the skin and improving its texture, this cream helps promote a more rested, revitalised, and youthful-looking complexion.

Your safety is our priority. Please follow these guidelines, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Milia-Prone Skin: If you are prone to developing milia (tiny white bumps) around the eyes, use a very small amount of this rich cream and avoid applying too close to the lash line.
• Highly Sensitive or Reactive Skin: While peptides are generally gentle, a patch test is essential before applying to your full face.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: There are no known contraindications for peptide creams during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but we always recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new active skincare products during this time.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small (pea-sized) amount of the cream to a clean, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner arm.
2. Wait 24 hours. Monitor the area for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use immediately.

General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

• Issue: I'm getting small white bumps (milia) around my eyes.
  • Solution: You might be using too much product. Reduce the amount to half a grain of rice per eye and ensure you're tapping it gently onto the orbital bone, not close to the lash line.
• Issue: The cream feels too heavy or greasy on my skin.
  • Solution: This is a rich cream. Try using a smaller amount, or reserve it for your nighttime routine only. For combination skin, you can apply it just to drier areas and the eye contour.
• Issue: My makeup is pilling or separating when I apply it over the cream.
  • Solution: This usually happens for two reasons: using too much cream, or not waiting long enough for it to absorb. Use a thinner layer in the morning and wait at least 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or foundation.
• Issue: I've been using it for two weeks and don't see a difference in my wrinkles.
  • Solution: Be patient! Ingredients that support collagen production, like peptides, work over the long term. Visible results on firmness and wrinkles typically take at least 8 weeks of consistent use. Also, ensure you are using sunscreen daily to prevent new damage.

The rich texture of this cream makes it versatile for Mauritius's changing climate, with a few adjustments.

• Humid Summer (November - April): During the hot, humid months, this cream may feel too heavy for all-over facial use during the daytime, especially for combination or oily skin.
  • Recommendation: Use it as a targeted eye cream in the morning and as an all-over face and neck cream at night. A smaller amount will go a long way in the humidity.
• Cooler, Drier Winter (May - October): This is when the cream truly shines. The drier air (both outdoors and from indoor A/C) can deplete skin moisture.
  • Recommendation: Use it morning and night for both face and eyes. It will provide a comforting, protective barrier against dryness and help keep your skin nourished and plump.

The effectiveness of this cream is rooted in the established science of its key active ingredients, particularly peptides.

• Ingredient Rationale (Peptides): Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as "messenger" molecules in the skin. Specific peptides, like Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (often known as Matrixyl), have been shown in independent studies to signal fibroblasts (the skin's "factory cells") to produce more collagen. Increased collagen helps improve the skin's structural support, leading to a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and improved firmness. Copper Peptides (like GHK-Cu) are also well-researched for their role in wound healing and tissue regeneration, which contributes to a healthier, more resilient skin matrix.

Please note: The ingredient rationale is based on independent scientific research on the ingredients themselves. The brand may have conducted its own clinical tests on the final formula, but this data is not publicly available in the provided research sources.

This 30ml cream is concentrated, and a little goes a long way, offering excellent value depending on your usage.

Estimated Duration of Use:

• As an Eye Cream Only (AM & PM): Using about half a rice grain per use, the 30ml tube can last approximately 4-5 months.
• As a Face & Eye Cream (PM Only): Using a pea-sized amount for the face and a small amount for the eyes, it should last approximately 2.5-3 months.
• As a Face & Eye Cream (AM & PM): With twice-daily use on the full face, you can expect it to last approximately 1.5-2 months.

Reorder Cue: We recommend reordering when the tube feels about three-quarters empty to ensure you don't run out, allowing for processing and delivery time.

This peptide cream is an excellent choice for targeting firmness and fine lines with a nourishing texture. However, your ideal eye treatment depends on your primary concerns and preferences. Here are a few other options to consider:

• For a More Potent, Retinoid-Based Approach: Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML

  Choose this if... you are an experienced skincare user looking for stronger results on deep-set wrinkles. Why: It contains Retinal, a powerful Vitamin A derivative that works faster than retinol to promote cell turnover and collagen synthesis. Its serum texture is also lighter.

• For Targeting Dark Circles & Pigmentation: MARY&MAY TRANEXAMIC ACID+GLUTATHIONE EYE CREAM 30ML

  Choose this if... your main concern is dark under-eye circles and uneven skin tone, rather than just wrinkles. Why: This cream is specifically formulated with Tranexamic Acid and Glutathione, two powerful ingredients known for their ability to inhibit melanin production and brighten pigmentation.

• For a Focus on Hydration & Repair with Snail Mucin: COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL PEPTIDE EYE CREAM

  Choose this if... you love the hydrating and repairing properties of snail mucin and want a lighter-weight formula. Why: It combines the benefits of peptides with 72% Snail Secretion Filtrate to intensely hydrate, depuff, and brighten, making it great for tired, dehydrated eyes.

• For an Affordable Hydrating Option: 3W CLINIC COLLAGEN EYE CREAM

  Choose this if... you are on a budget or just starting out and want a simple, effective moisturising eye cream. Why: It focuses on providing essential hydration with hydrolyzed collagen to keep the eye area supple and prevent dehydration lines.

Mindful Consumption Tip: If you already have a comparable eye cream or peptide product at home, we encourage you to finish it first to avoid waste and give it a fair chance to deliver results.

• Packaging: This product comes in a 30ml squeeze tube with a narrow applicator tip. This design is hygienic as it minimises air exposure and prevents contamination from fingers.
• Travel-Friendliness: The 30ml size is travel-friendly and suitable for carry-on luggage. The secure cap helps prevent leaks.
• Storage: To maintain the stability and efficacy of the peptide ingredients, store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (like a hot car or a steamy bathroom).
• Recycling (Mauritius): Please check with local guidelines. Typically, the plastic tube and cap can be recycled if cleaned thoroughly.

Peptides

Short chains of amino acids that are the "building blocks" of proteins like collagen and elastin. In skincare, they act as messengers, signaling skin cells to perform specific functions like producing more collagen, which can help improve firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Collagen

The most abundant protein in the skin, providing its structure and firmness. Production slows down with age, leading to wrinkles and sagging.

Elastin

A protein in the skin that allows it to "snap back" into place. Damage to elastin fibers from sun exposure and aging leads to a loss of elasticity.

Orbital Bone

The bone that surrounds your eye socket. It's the recommended area for applying eye cream to avoid getting product too close to the eye itself.

MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety)

The South Korean government agency that regulates food, drugs, and cosmetics. "Functional Cosmetics" are products certified by the MFDS to have specific effects, like wrinkle improvement or brightening.

PAO (Period After Opening)

A symbol on cosmetic packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") that indicates how many months the product will remain stable and effective after it has been opened.

Can I apply this cream directly on my eyelids?

It is generally not recommended to apply rich creams directly on the mobile eyelid, as it can sometimes lead to irritation or milia. We advise tapping the cream along the orbital bone (the bone above and below your eye) and at the outer corner where crow's feet form.

Will this eye cream help with my dark circles?

This cream's primary focus is on lifting, firming, and addressing fine lines through its peptide content. While improved hydration and plumpness can make dark circles appear less prominent, it does not contain specific ingredients that target the root causes of pigmentation-related dark circles. For that concern, an alternative like the MARY&MAY Tranexamic Acid Eye Cream might be more suitable.

Can I use this with my Vitamin C serum?

Yes, absolutely. They are a great pairing. Apply your Vitamin C serum first in your morning routine, let it absorb for about a minute, and then apply this peptide cream on top before finishing with sunscreen.

Is it suitable for men?

Yes. Skin aging affects everyone, and the ingredients in this cream are beneficial for any gender. It addresses universal concerns like collagen loss and expression lines.
