Struggling with tired-looking eyes and stubborn dark circles that don’t seem to fade? This nourishing eye cream is formulated to gently brighten and hydrate the delicate under-eye area, helping to reduce the appearance of shadows and fine lines for a more refreshed, awake look suitable for Mauritius' sunny climate.

Feeling self-conscious about dark circles can be frustrating. This cream is designed to offer a gentle, supportive solution.

• What it is: A creamy, nourishing eye treatment that targets pigmentation and dehydration around the eyes.
• Who it's for: Anyone concerned with dark circles, fine lines, and dullness in the eye area. Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
• What it does: Brightens uneven skin tone with Glutathione and Niacinamide, deeply hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid and Shea Butter, and helps improve firmness with Adenosine and Peptides.
• Key Benefits: Reduces the appearance of dark circles, smooths fine lines through hydration, and soothes the delicate eye contour with Centella Asiatica.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. APLB Eye Cream: Gently tap a tiny amount (half a grain of rice per eye) around the orbital bone.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Finish by protecting your skin for the day or nourishing it for the night.

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

Minimalist (4 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional)
3. APLB Eye Cream
4. Sunscreen SPF 30+ (Crucial for preventing dark circles from worsening)

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

Minimalist (4 steps):

1. Cleanser (Double-cleanse if wearing makeup or water-resistant SPF)
2. Targeted Serum (Optional)
3. APLB Eye Cream
4. Moisturiser

Texture Rule: Apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest. The eye cream typically goes on before your final face moisturiser.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: Use a very small amount—about the size of half a grain of rice per eye. This is key to preventing milia (small white bumps).
• Apply to: The orbital bone (the bone around your eye socket). Do not apply directly to the mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line.
• Method: Use your ring finger to gently tap the cream into the skin until absorbed. Tapping is gentler than rubbing on this delicate area.
• Frequency: Start with PM-only use for the first week to ensure tolerance, then increase to AM and PM.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

• Allow the eye cream to fully absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen, primer, or concealer.
• Gently tap your concealer on top rather than swiping to avoid disturbing the eye cream layer.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use and consult a professional if a rash or irritation occurs.

• Daily: This eye cream is gentle enough for daily use, both AM and PM, as part of your core routine.
• AM/PM Cheat-Sheet:
  • Niacinamide (in this cream): AM/PM
  • Vitamin C Serum: AM daily
  • Retinal/Retinol Eye Cream (if using an alternative): PM only, 2-4x/week. Do not use this APLB eye cream on the same nights as a strong retinoid eye cream.
• Mauritius Note: The creamy texture provides good hydration against air-conditioning. In peak humidity, you might prefer it for PM use only if you have very oily skin.

• Immediate: The eye area will feel hydrated, soothed, and look plumper. The creamy texture helps to smooth the skin surface instantly.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice the skin around the eyes looks brighter and feels more resilient. The appearance of fine dehydration lines should be reduced.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The brightening effects of Glutathione and Niacinamide on dark circles become more noticeable. Skin may appear firmer and more even-toned. For significant improvement, consistent use and daily sun protection are essential.

• Why this, not that?
  • Instead of using your regular face moisturiser around your eyes: Choose a dedicated eye cream like this one. The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate, and eye creams are specifically formulated with non-irritating ingredients at concentrations suitable for this sensitive area. They also target specific concerns like dark circles more effectively than a general-purpose moisturiser.

• Works Well With: This eye cream is compatible with most skincare ingredients. It pairs well with hydrating toners, Vitamin C serums (used on the face), and gentle retinoids. Its soothing Centella Asiatica helps calm the skin.
• Use Carefully With: If you use a high-strength retinoid or exfoliating acid on your face, avoid getting it too close to the eye area where you've applied this cream to prevent potential irritation.
• Avoid On: Do not apply directly to the eyelids or lash line. Stick to the orbital bone. To prevent milia, use only a tiny amount and avoid layering with very heavy, occlusive products right under the eye.

• All Skin Types: Generally suitable for all, as it is fragrance-free and formulated to be gentle.
• Dry/Normal Skin: Excellent. The creamy texture provides lasting moisture.
• Combination/Oily Skin: Suitable, as the cream absorbs well without feeling greasy. Use a smaller amount if you are very oily.
• Sensitive Skin: Very suitable. It is rich in soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and its derivatives to calm irritation.
• Milia-Prone Skin: Use with caution. The formula contains Shea Butter and Beeswax. While nourishing, these can be rich for some. Use the smallest effective amount (half a rice grain per eye) to minimize risk.

• Dark Circles: Niacinamide and Glutathione work to inhibit melanin transfer and provide antioxidant protection, helping to brighten pigmentation under the eyes.
• Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Adenosine, Peptides, and deep hydration from Sodium Hyaluronate help to plump the skin, making fine lines appear smoother.
• Dullness & Fatigue: Brightening and hydrating ingredients restore a more vibrant, rested appearance to the eye contour.
• Loss of Firmness: Contains ingredients like Hydrolyzed Collagen and Peptides that support skin elasticity.

  2. Wait 24-48 hours.
  3. If you experience any redness, itching, burning, or rash, do not use the product.
• For Teens: A dedicated eye cream is not typically necessary for teenage skin unless specific concerns like genetic dark circles are present. A simple routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF is usually sufficient.

• Texture: A smooth, lightweight cream that is not overly thick or greasy.
• Finish: Absorbs well into the skin, leaving a hydrated, non-sticky finish that sits well under makeup.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but expected to be in the skin-friendly range of 5.0-6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients that may pose a risk for those with fungal acne, including Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Beeswax, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, and Macadamia Oil. Patch testing is strongly advised if you are prone to fungal acne. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Small white bumps (milia) appear under the eyes.
  • Solution: You are likely using too much product. Reduce the amount to half a rice grain per eye and tap it only onto the orbital bone, further away from the lash line.
• Issue: Concealer or foundation is pilling over the eye cream.
  • Solution: Wait longer (1-2 full minutes) for the eye cream to absorb before applying makeup. Also, gently tap makeup on top instead of rubbing.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after a few weeks.
  • Solution: Brightening dark circles takes time and consistency. Ensure you are using the cream every AM and PM and, most importantly, applying a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day. Sun exposure will counteract any progress.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight cream texture is generally well-suited for humid weather. If you have very oily skin, you might prefer to use it only in your PM routine or in air-conditioned environments to avoid any feeling of heaviness.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: The nourishing formula with Shea Butter and ceramides provides excellent protection and hydration against the drying effects of a less humid winter or constant air-conditioning, making it suitable for both AM and PM use.

APLB stands for "A PLUS B," reflecting their philosophy of combining high-quality, naturally-derived ingredients with advanced dermatological science. The brand is dedicated to creating gentle yet effective formulas that cater to various skin concerns, with a focus on strengthening the skin barrier and promoting overall skin health.

• Adenosine: An MFDS-approved ingredient known for its ability to energize the skin, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Glutathione: A master antioxidant naturally found in the body that helps protect cells from damage and has a skin-brightening effect.

We believe in skincare that is both effective and honest. Every product at Adilsons is carefully curated and sourced directly from authorized distributors in South Korea, ensuring 100% authenticity. We are committed to providing you with clear, evidence-based information to help you make mindful choices for your skin.

1. Can I apply this eye cream on my eyelids?

It is generally recommended to apply eye creams only to the orbital bone (the bone around your eye socket) and avoid the mobile eyelid and lash line to prevent irritation and milia.

2. Will this cream cause milia?

This cream contains some richer ingredients like Shea Butter, which could be a trigger for highly milia-prone individuals. The key to prevention is to use a very small amount (half a rice grain per eye) and apply it by gently tapping, not rubbing.

3. How is Glutathione different from Vitamin C for brightening dark circles?

Both are excellent antioxidants that help with brightening. Vitamin C often works by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme and providing photoprotection. Glutathione also works on the melanin pathway and is a master antioxidant that helps recycle other antioxidants in the body. They can be very effective when used in the same routine (e.g., a Vitamin C serum on the face in the AM, and this Glutathione eye cream AM/PM).

• Best For: Individuals looking to brighten dark circles and hydrate the under-eye area with a gentle, nourishing cream.
• Key Benefits: Visibly improves the appearance of pigmentation, plumps fine lines with hydration, and soothes sensitive skin.
• Keep in Mind: It is not a vegan formula (contains beeswax and collagen). Those prone to milia should use a very small amount. Results on dark circles require consistent use and daily sun protection.
