Dealing with dryness or the first fine lines around the eyes can be frustrating. This cream offers a straightforward and affordable way to bring moisture and brightness to the delicate under-eye area, helping it appear smoother and more refreshed.

• Who it's for: Beginners, budget-conscious users, or anyone looking for a simple hydrating eye cream.
• What it does: Hydrates the eye area, helps to brighten the look of dark circles, and smooths the appearance of fine lines.
• Texture: A medium-textured cream that absorbs well without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Key Benefit: Provides essential moisture to the delicate eye area, making it a great entry-level product for preventing dryness.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. Eye Cream: Gently pat a tiny amount of this cream around the orbital bone (see "How to Use" for the exact amount).
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Finish by protecting your skin for the day or sealing in moisture for the night.

Note: If you already have an eye cream, finish it first. Good skincare is about substituting, not just stacking products.

Minimalist Routine (4 steps):

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): A watery layer can help subsequent products absorb better.
3. 3W Clinic Eye Cream: Gently apply around the eye area.
4. Sunscreen (SPF 30+): The most crucial step to protect the delicate eye area from sun damage.

Wait Times: Allow about 60 seconds for the eye cream to absorb before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Use an oil cleanser to melt makeup/sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. Toner/Serum (Optional): Apply any targeted serums for your broader skin concerns.
3. 3W Clinic Eye Cream: Gently apply as your dedicated eye-area step.
4. Moisturiser: Lock in hydration with your favourite night cream.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

• Amount: Use half a grain of rice worth of cream per eye. Using too much can lead to milia (small white bumps).
• Apply to: Gently pat the cream around the orbital bone (the bone around your eye socket) using your ring finger, which applies the least pressure.
• Avoid: Do not apply directly on the mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line to prevent irritation.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning and evening, for best results.
• Wait Time: Let it absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup. This helps prevent pilling.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling): To ensure a smooth makeup application, make sure the eye cream is fully absorbed. Apply a thin layer and gently tap it in, rather than rubbing. Wait a minute before applying concealer.

This is a gentle, hydrating eye cream designed for daily use.

• Daily: Apply AM and PM as part of your regular routine.
• Compatibility: It can be used on the same nights as other actives like exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, as it is applied to a different, more delicate area of the face. Just ensure your stronger actives are not applied directly to the under-eye area.

• Immediate: The eye area will feel more hydrated and comfortable.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, the skin around the eyes may appear plumper and smoother due to improved hydration.
• 4–8+ weeks: The appearance of fine, dehydration-related lines may be reduced. Brightening effects on dark circles may become more noticeable. Results depend on consistency and diligent sunscreen use.

• Works well with: Hydrating toners, serums (like hyaluronic acid), gentle moisturisers, and daily sunscreen.
• Use carefully with: When using strong retinoids or exfoliating acids on the rest of your face, ensure they do not migrate to the delicate eye area where you've applied this cream.
• Avoid on this area: Do not layer strong, prescription-strength actives directly over or under this eye cream unless guided by a clinician.

• All Skin Types: Generally suitable for all skin types as a basic hydrating eye cream.
• Dry/Dehydrated Skin: Excellent for providing necessary moisture to the often-dry eye area.
• Oily/Combination Skin: The medium texture is typically well-tolerated and shouldn't feel greasy.
• Milia-Prone Skin: Use with caution. Apply only a tiny amount (half a rice grain per eye) and keep it on the orbital bone, away from the immediate under-eye, to minimize risk.

• Dryness around the eyes: Provides immediate and sustained hydration.
• Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines, particularly those caused by dehydration.
• Dullness & Dark Circles: Niacinamide helps to brighten the skin tone under the eyes over time.
• Puffiness: Helps to diminish the look of puffiness.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance.
• Scent Profile: Users describe it as having a light, fresh, or slightly floral scent that is not overpowering.
• EU Allergens: The full list of potential fragrance allergens is not disclosed by the brand. Patch testing is advised for highly sensitive skin.

• Who should use it: Ideal for individuals looking for a basic, affordable eye cream for hydration and the first signs of aging.
• Who should use with caution: Those with milia-prone skin should use a very small amount. Anyone with a known allergy to ingredients like beeswax or specific preservatives should avoid it.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Contains low-risk ingredients, but it's always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new products during this time.

Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area like your jawline or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any burning, itching, or rash, discontinue use.

• Texture & Finish: A smooth, medium-weight cream. It's not a light gel, but it absorbs well without leaving a greasy or sticky residue.
• Scent: Lightly fragranced with a pleasant, fresh scent.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.
• FA Compatibility: Contains Polysorbate 60 and Stearic Acid, which can be potential triggers for Malassezia folliculitis ("fungal acne"). If you are prone to FA, patch test carefully.

• Issue: Small white bumps (milia) appear under the eyes. Fix: You may be using too much product. Reduce the amount to half a rice grain per eye and apply it only along the orbital bone, further away from the lash line.
• Issue: The cream is pilling or balling up under makeup. Fix: This usually happens from applying too much product or not waiting long enough for it to absorb. Use a thinner layer, gently tap it in, and wait a full 1-2 minutes before applying your next step.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results for my deep wrinkles. Fix: This is a hydrating and preventative cream, not an intensive treatment for deep-set wrinkles. For more significant concerns, consider an eye cream with stronger actives like Retinal or Peptides.

• Humid Summers: The cream's texture is suitable for humid weather and shouldn't feel too heavy. You can apply a very thin layer in the morning.
• Drier/AC Environments: It provides good hydration to combat the drying effects of air conditioning. You might apply a slightly more generous layer at night if your skin feels tight.
• Sun Exposure: This product does not contain SPF. It is crucial to follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every morning to protect the eye area from the strong Mauritian sun.

• Sustainability: The plastic tube and cap are recyclable in Mauritius (check local guidelines). Please rinse the tube before recycling.

Here is some aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit. Experiences are individual and your results may vary.

• One Reddit user described it as a "nice" and functional eye cream, noting, "I use it because I have it, it doesn't wow me. Will not repurchase." They found other products in the brand's line to be heavily fragranced, but found the eye cream itself to be pleasant enough for basic use. (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2015)
• Another user praised it for being "super cheap" and effective for hydration. They noted it's "not heavy either" and helped their under-eyes look "brighter and less dull." (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2017)
• A different reviewer highlighted its value, stating it's a "large tube of product... and the price is great." They found it absorbed well, did not irritate their sensitive eyes, and helped keep the under-eye skin well-hydrated, making fine lines less prominent. (Ebay Customer Review, 2018)
• Caveat: A common point of feedback is that while it is a good moisturising cream for the price, it may not be moisturising enough for those with very dry under-eyes, and it does not produce dramatic anti-aging results for deep-set wrinkles.

3W Clinic is a popular South Korean brand known for making effective, science-backed skincare accessible and affordable. The brand's philosophy centres on blending traditional Korean beauty wisdom with modern dermatological science, often using natural and botanical ingredients to create gentle yet effective solutions for a wide range of skin concerns.

Adenosine

A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a soothing and skin-restoring agent. It has proven anti-wrinkle benefits and is recognized by the MFDS for this function.

Collagen (Hydrolyzed)

Collagen broken down into smaller, water-soluble peptides. In skincare, it acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin to keep it hydrated and plump-looking.

INCI

International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients. The official, standardized naming system for ingredients used in cosmetics.

MFDS

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea. This government body regulates cosmetics, and products with specific proven benefits (like brightening or wrinkle care) are classified as "Functional Cosmetics."

Niacinamide

A form of Vitamin B3 known for its versatility. It can help brighten skin, improve the appearance of pores, strengthen the skin barrier, and calm inflammation.

Orbital Bone

The bone that surrounds your eye socket. Eye creams should be applied along this bone, not on the soft, mobile tissue of the eyelid itself.

PAO

Period After Opening. The symbol (an open jar with a number like "12M") on a product indicates how many months it will remain stable and effective after being opened.

At Adilsons, we are committed to Ṣidq (truthfulness) and ʿAdl (fairness). We carefully curate our K-beauty selection, prioritizing formulas that are both effective and gentle. Our promise is to provide you with 100% authentic products, sourced directly from authorized channels, and to offer transparent, evidence-based information to help you make mindful choices for your skin.

Can this eye cream cause milia?

Any rich cream can potentially contribute to milia if over-applied. To minimize risk, use only a tiny amount (half a grain of rice per eye) and pat it gently around the orbital bone, avoiding the area closest to your lashes.

Can I apply it on my eyelids?

It is generally not recommended to apply eye creams on the mobile eyelid unless the product specifically states it is safe to do so. Stick to the area along the orbital bone, below the eyebrow, and under the eye.

Is this product good for mature skin with deep wrinkles?

This cream is best suited for providing hydration and addressing the very first, fine lines that appear due to dryness. For deeper, more established wrinkles, you may want to consider an eye cream with more potent anti-aging ingredients like retinol, retinal, or a higher concentration of peptides.

Does the "whitening" in the name mean it will bleach my skin?

No, not at all. In K-beauty, the term "whitening" is an MFDS classification for products that help with "brightening" and improving uneven skin tone or dark spots. This product contains Niacinamide to help brighten dark circles; it will not change your natural skin colour.
