Dealing with persistent dark circles and fine lines around the eyes can be frustrating, especially when they make you look more tired than you feel. This targeted eye cream is formulated to gently but effectively brighten pigmentation and smooth texture, helping to restore a more rested and vibrant appearance, even in the face of Mauritius' strong sun and long days.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
- What it is: A concentrated eye cream designed to tackle two major eye-area concerns: pigmentation (dark circles) and signs of aging (fine lines).
- Who it's for: Anyone struggling with dark under-eye circles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) around the eyes, fine lines, or a generally dull, tired-looking eye area. It's especially suitable for melanin-rich skin prone to pigmentation.
- Key Ingredients: Tranexamic Acid (0.1%), Glutathione (0.1%), Niacinamide, Adenosine, and Vitamin C.
- Texture & Scent: A smooth, creamy texture that absorbs well without feeling heavy or greasy. It is completely fragrance-free.
- Expected Results: Expect immediate hydration. With consistent use over 4-8 weeks, you may notice a visible improvement in the brightness of dark circles and a smoother, more plump appearance of fine lines.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
- THIS PRODUCT: Squeeze half a grain of rice worth of cream for each eye. Gently tap it around the orbital bone (the bone around your eye socket).
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with your facial sunscreen in the morning or a moisturiser at night.
Mindful Tip: If you already have an eye cream, finish it before starting this one. Effective skincare is about consistency, not collecting products.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
A morning routine focused on protection and brightness.
- Step 1: Cleanse β Use a gentle, low-pH cleanser.
- Step 2: Tone (Optional) β Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
- Step 3: Serum (Optional) β Apply a facial serum (e.g., Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid).
- Step 4: MARY&MAY Eye Cream β Gently tap a tiny amount around the orbital bone.
- Step 5: Moisturiser (If needed) β Apply a light facial moisturiser if your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough.
- Step 6: Sunscreen β This is the most crucial step. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect the delicate eye area and prevent dark circles from worsening.
Wait Times: Allow the eye cream to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
An evening routine focused on repair and treatment.
- Step 1: Double Cleanse β Start with an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
- Step 2: Tone/Essence β Apply a hydrating or soothing toner/essence.
- Step 3: Facial Serum/Treatment β Apply your targeted night serum (e.g., a gentle retinoid, peptide, or hydrating serum).
- Step 4: MARY&MAY Eye Cream β Gently tap the eye cream around the orbital bone as your dedicated eye treatment.
- Step 5: Moisturiser β Finish with a facial moisturiser to lock in all the hydration and treatments.
Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use β AM & PM:
- Amount: Use approximately half a grain of rice per eye. A little goes a long way. Using too much can increase the risk of milia (small white bumps).
- Apply to: The orbital bone area (the bone you can feel around your eye socket), both underneath the eye and below the eyebrow. Avoid applying directly on the mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line to prevent irritation.
- Method: Use your ring finger, which has the gentlest touch. Dot the cream around the orbital bone and then gently tapβdo not rub or pullβuntil it is absorbed.
- Frequency: Start once daily (at night) for the first week to see how your skin tolerates it. If all is well, increase to twice daily (AM and PM) for best results.
Makeup Tips (No Pilling):
- To prevent pilling under concealer or foundation, ensure you use a very small amount of eye cream.
- Allow it to fully absorb for at least 1-2 minutes before applying your next product (sunscreen, primer, or concealer).
- Gently tap your concealer on top, rather than swiping or rubbing.
Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs. For teens, focus on a basic routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF; this eye cream is generally for adult concerns but can be used if dark circles are a specific issue, with parental guidance.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This eye cream is designed for consistent daily use to see the best results. It is gentle and does not require complex scheduling.
- Daily: Use AM and PM, every day of the week.
- Monday to Sunday (AM): Cleanse β Tone β Serum β MARY&MAY Eye Cream β Moisturiser β Sunscreen.
- Monday to Sunday (PM): Double Cleanse β Tone β Serum β MARY&MAY Eye Cream β Moisturiser.
Note on Stronger Actives: If you use a strong facial retinoid (like Tretinoin) at night, apply it to your face but avoid the immediate eye area where you have applied this cream. This eye cream is gentle enough to be used in the same routine as facial retinoids, but they should not be layered on top of each other in the same spot.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
Patience and consistency are key, especially with pigmentation and fine lines.
- Immediate: The eye area will feel hydrated, smoother, and slightly plumper upon application.
- 2β4 Weeks: You may start to notice a subtle brightening effect and improved hydration throughout the day. The skin texture around the eyes may feel softer.
- 4β8+ Weeks: This is when the key ingredients start to show more noticeable results. Dark circles caused by pigmentation may appear visibly lightened. Fine dehydration lines should look significantly diminished. With continued use, the overall eye area will look more even-toned and rested. (Brand test)
*Results timeline is based on brand data and general ingredient efficacy; individual results can vary. Consistent daily use and diligent sun protection are essential to see and maintain results.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Myth: "You can get rid of dark circles with home remedies like lemon juice or by scrubbing the area."
Truth (Why this, not that): The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on your body and extremely delicate. Applying harsh, acidic DIY ingredients like lemon juice can cause severe irritation, dryness, and even worsen hyperpigmentation (a condition called phytophotodermatitis). Harshly scrubbing the area can also damage the fragile skin barrier and cause inflammation. Instead, use a scientifically formulated eye cream like this one. It contains proven brightening ingredients like Tranexamic Acid and Glutathione at safe, effective concentrations to gently target the melanin that causes dark circles, without the risk of irritation or further damage.
Myth: "Any moisturiser will work as an eye cream."
Truth: While a gentle facial moisturiser is better than nothing, dedicated eye creams are specifically formulated for the delicate eye area. They are often ophthalmologist-tested to be safer near the eyes and contain targeted ingredients at concentrations suitable for this sensitive skin. This cream, for example, delivers potent brighteners like Tranexamic Acid directly where needed, something a standard facial moisturiser won't do.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: This eye cream is very gentle and compatible with most skincare ingredients. It works beautifully alongside hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol, and can be used in routines that also feature Vitamin C, Niacinamide, or Peptides on the face.
- Use with Care: If you use strong facial exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin), apply them to the rest of your face but avoid the delicate skin where you've applied the eye cream. Do not layer these strong actives directly over or under the eye cream to prevent potential irritation in this sensitive area.
- Avoid On: Do not apply directly to your eyelids or lash line. It is for external use on the orbital bone area only.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- All Skin Types: This cream is formulated to be suitable for all skin types.
- Dry/Normal Skin: Will appreciate the nourishing, creamy texture that provides lasting hydration.
- Combination/Oily Skin: The cream is not overly heavy and should absorb well. In Mauritius' peak humidity, those with very oily skin might prefer to use it only at night.
- Sensitive Skin: An excellent choice as it is fragrance-free and formulated with soothing ingredients. As always, a patch test is recommended.
- Milia-Prone Skin: Milia are small, hard white bumps that can form when keratin is trapped. They can sometimes be triggered by creams that are too rich for the eye area. If you are prone to milia, use the smallest possible amount of this cream (half a rice grain per eye) and tap it in well.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Dark Circles (Pigmentary): Specifically targets the overproduction of melanin that leads to brown or greyish under-eye shadows, a common concern in sun-exposed climates and for melanin-rich skin.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Helps to smooth and plump the appearance of fine lines (crow's feet) caused by dehydration and the natural aging process.
- Dullness & Tired Appearance: Revitalizes the eye area, making it look brighter, more even-toned, and well-rested.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Helps fade dark marks left behind by irritation or inflammation around the eyes.

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Actives Explained:
- Tranexamic Acid (1,000ppm / 0.1%): An amino acid derivative that is highly effective at targeting hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting the pathways that lead to melanin production, making it a star ingredient for treating dark circles, sun spots, and melasma. (Ingredient rationale)
- Glutathione (1,000ppm / 0.1%): A powerful antioxidant naturally found in the body. Topically, it helps to brighten the skin by converting dark eumelanin to lighter pheomelanin and deactivating the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for pigment production. (Ingredient rationale)
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that brightens skin by blocking the transfer of melanin to the skin's surface, improves skin barrier function, and offers anti-inflammatory benefits. (Ingredient rationale)
- Adenosine: An anti-aging ingredient that energizes the skin's surface, leading to a smoother appearance of fine lines and improved skin firmness. (Ingredient rationale)
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): A potent antioxidant that further helps to brighten the skin, protect against environmental damage, and support collagen production. (Ingredient rationale)
Full INCI List:
Water, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Glycereth-26, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Niacinamide, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate, Dipropylene Glycol, Isododecane, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycol Stearate SE, Sodium Polyacrylate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Stearic Acid, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Tranexamic Acid (1,000ppm), Betaine, Glutathione (1,000ppm), Panthenol, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil, Butylene Glycol, Adenosine, Sorbitan Isostearate, Caprylyl Glycol, Trideceth-6, 1,2-Hexanediol, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ascorbic Acid.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no artificial fragrances or essential oils.
- Scent Profile: It has no discernible scent, making it ideal for those sensitive to fragrances.
- EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use with caution:
- Individuals prone to milia should start with a very small amount and apply carefully to the orbital bone, avoiding the immediate under-eye skin.
- If you have extremely sensitive skin or known allergies, always perform a patch test before first use.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a tiny, pea-sized amount of the cream to a clean, discreet patch of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
- Wait for 24 hours. If you experience any signs of irritation, such as a burning sensation, redness, or a rash, wash the area thoroughly and do not use the product.
- If no irritation occurs after 24 hours, it is likely safe for you to use on your eye area.
If Irritation Occurs: Stop using the product immediately. Cleanse the area with a gentle cleanser and apply a simple, soothing moisturiser. If irritation is severe or persists, please contact us or consult a healthcare professional.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A smooth, mid-weight cream. It is not watery or gel-like, but also not a thick, heavy balm.
- Finish: Spreads easily and absorbs into the skin leaving a hydrated, natural finish that is neither matte nor overly dewy.
- Scent: None.
- pH: Not published by the brand.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product contains ingredients like Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Stearate, and Stearic Acid, which may potentially trigger fungal acne in highly susceptible individuals. Individual responses vary, so a patch test is advised if you have this concern.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The product is pilling or rolling up under my makeup.
- Solution: You are likely using too much product or not allowing enough absorption time. Reduce the amount to half a rice grain per eye and wait a full 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or concealer. Pat your makeup on gently instead of rubbing.
-
Issue: I'm developing tiny white bumps (milia) around my eyes.
- Solution: This can happen with creams that are too rich for your specific skin. Reduce the amount you use significantly and ensure you are only applying it to the orbital bone, not closer to the eye. If it persists, this cream may be too occlusive for you.
-
Issue: My eyes feel slightly irritated after application.
- Solution: You may be applying the cream too close to your lash line, allowing it to migrate into your eyes. Ensure you are only tapping it along the bony area around your eye socket. If irritation continues, discontinue use.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: During the hot and humid summer months, the creamy texture will be comfortable for normal to dry skin types. Those with very oily skin might find it sufficient to use only at night, opting for a lighter gel-based sunscreen during the day.
- Drier Winters & Air-Conditioning: In the cooler, drier winter months or for those who spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, this cream's nourishing texture is ideal for both AM and PM use to prevent dehydration and protect the delicate eye area.
- Sun Exposure: The brightening effects of this cream will be counteracted by sun exposure. Daily use of a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen is non-negotiable in Mauritius to protect your results and prevent dark circles from worsening.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)
This eye cream is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are dark circles from pigmentation and early fine lines. However, your skin is unique, and other options might be a better fit depending on your main goal.
- For Stronger Wrinkle & Firmness Focus: Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML β Choose this if visible fine lines, crow's feet, and loss of firmness are your main concerns. Why: It contains Retinal, a potent form of Vitamin A that is highly effective for stimulating collagen and smoothing wrinkles. It is stronger for anti-aging than this MARY&MAY cream.
- For a Gentler Retinol Alternative: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA PROBIO-CICA BAKUCHIOL EYE CREAM 20ML β Choose this if you want anti-aging benefits but have very sensitive skin that cannot tolerate retinoids. Why: Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient known to provide similar benefits to retinol (improving fine lines and elasticity) but with a much lower potential for irritation.
- For Intense Hydration & Repair: COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL PEPTIDE EYE CREAM β Choose this if your main issues are dryness, dehydration lines, and a weakened skin barrier around the eyes. Why: It combines Snail Mucin for deep hydration and repair with a complex of 5 peptides to improve firmness and elasticity. Its texture is also very nourishing.
- For a Budget-Friendly Option: 3W CLINIC COLLAGEN EYE CREAM β Choose this if you are looking for an affordable, basic eye cream for general hydration. Why: It provides good moisture with marine collagen and is very cost-effective, making it a great entry-level option.
Mindful Consumption Reminder: If you already have a comparable eye cream at home, we encourage you to finish it first to avoid waste and to give that product a fair chance to deliver results.

- Packaging: Comes in a 30ml opaque plastic tube with a narrow nozzle for hygienic and controlled dispensing.
- Sustainability: The tube and cap are made of plastic (PP/LDPE). Please check with local Mauritian recycling facilities for disposal guidelines. The outer box is made of recyclable paper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain the stability of the active ingredients. A bedroom drawer or cabinet is ideal.
- Travel: The 30ml size is travel-friendly and meets airline carry-on liquid regulations. The secure cap prevents leakage.
Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
(Aggregated sentiment from online communities. User experiences are subjective and do not guarantee similar results.)
A YesStyle review (2024-05) praised its effectiveness, stating, "My dark circles were getting worse but after using this they became lighter." The user noted it took about a month to see a significant difference.
On Reddit's r/AsianBeauty forum (2024-03), a user commented on the texture and value, saying, "It's a really nice, hydrating formula that isn't too thick or greasy. And you get 30ml which is double the usual size, so it lasts forever."
An Amazon customer review (2024-04) offered a fair caveat for those with milia-prone skin. They found it effective for brightening but noted, "I have to be careful to use a very tiny amount, otherwise I can get one or two small milia bumps."

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
1. What type of dark circles does this cream help with?
This cream is most effective for dark circles caused by hyperpigmentation (excess melanin), which appear as brown or greyish tones under the eyes. It is less effective for dark circles caused by vascular issues (visible blue/purple blood vessels) or structural hollows (shadows from bone structure).
2. Can I apply this cream 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 applying it on the orbital bone, both underneath the eye and just below the brow bone.
3. Can I use this with a retinol eye cream?
It's best to use one targeted eye cream at a time. This cream is gentle, but layering it with a retinol eye cream could lead to irritation. You could alternate them (e.g., this cream in the AM, retinol eye cream in the PM), but start slowly and watch for sensitivity.
4. Will this cream cause milia?
Any cream can potentially cause milia if it's too rich for your skin or if too much is applied. This cream has a moderate texture. To minimize the risk, use a very small amount (half a rice grain per eye) and tap it in well until absorbed.
