Medicube DEEP LIFTING PEPTIDE EYECREAM FOR FACE 30ml

Values You Can Trust: 100% Authentic Guarantee. Halal-Friendly* (see Section 26). Fragrance-Free (based on the verified portion of the INCI — see Section 24).

If you've been staring at fine lines around your eyes that seem to deepen every time you're tired, that frustration is common and this cream is built to answer it directly, without demanding a complicated routine.

Pros: rich, comfortable texture; dual eye-and-face positioning genuinely reduces the number of jars on your shelf; fragrance-free based on what we could verify; gentle enough for most skin types.

Caveats: the rich texture can feel heavy for oily or humid-climate all-over facial use; no independently verified clinical data or peptide percentages exist for this exact formula; it does not address pigmentation-based dark circles.

Classification: YELLOW (14+, with guidance). Nothing in the portion of the INCI we could verify (peptides, niacinamide, collagen, hyaluronic acid) is a clinical-strength irritant like a retinoid or a high-percentage acid, so this is not a safety hazard for a teenager. It simply targets a biological process — age-related collagen decline — that hasn't started yet in most under-18 skin.

If a teenager wants to use this because they like the texture or the tapping ritual around the eyes, there's no harm in it; there's just no functional need. Money is better spent on a gentle moisturizer and daily SPF at that age.

Compatibility checklist:

• Bedside-compatible (no sink needed): yes.
• Requires rinsing: no.
• Requires precise dosage: no, a rough pea-size is forgiving.
• Applicable with unwashed hands: acceptable in a pinch, though clean hands are preferred.
• Requires wait time: a light 1-2 minute pause before makeup or sunscreen, otherwise none.

On a low-energy night, this can be your entire PM step: tap it around the eyes, smooth a little over the rest of your face, and go to sleep. It qualifies for a bare-bones 2-3 product routine (cleanser, this cream, done) when executive function is running low.

If the rich texture feels too heavy or tacky on a hot, humid night, use a smaller amount and reserve it for the eye area only until your energy returns.

1. When: AM and PM once your skin tolerates it well; start PM-only for the first week.
2. How much: Half a rice-grain per eye; a pea-size amount if also using on the rest of the face.
3. How: Gently tap around the orbital bone with your ring finger; smooth outward on the face. Skin should be clean and dry or slightly damp.

The One Rule: Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Cleanse (gentle cleanser or a lukewarm rinse if skin isn't oily overnight).
2. Optional hydrating toner or essence, if your skin feels tight.
3. Medicube Deep Lifting Peptide Eyecream — half a rice-grain per eye, tapped onto the orbital bone; a thin layer on the rest of the face if using it there too.
4. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++, non-negotiable for anti-aging results.

In Mauritius' humid mornings, humectants like the hyaluronic acid and glycerin in this cream draw water from the humid air rather than pulling it from deeper skin layers — one real reason this formula tends to feel comfortable rather than tight in the morning.

Wait 1-2 minutes after applying before sunscreen to reduce pilling, especially if you're also using a vitamin C serum underneath.

1. Double cleanse if you wore sunscreen or makeup: oil cleanser first, then a water-based cleanser.
2. Optional hydrating toner or soothing serum.
3. Medicube Deep Lifting Peptide Eyecream — pea-size for face and neck, half a rice-grain per eye, on clean, slightly damp skin.

Evening is when peptide signalling ingredients get the most uninterrupted time to work, since skin's own repair processes are more active overnight than during the day.

If you use a chemical exfoliant or retinoid on a given night, keep this cream as your last step to seal in moisture — see the Compatibility Guide below for the alternating-night rule.

Technique: Pat/press gently onto the orbital bone — do not rub, since friction over the delicate eye area increases irritation risk. Some units come with a cooling metal applicator tip; if yours does, use the tip itself to dispense and lightly glide before tapping in with a fingertip.

Required skin state: Clean, dry or slightly damp — damp skin helps the cream spread thinner and reduces the chance of over-application.

Wait time: 1-2 minutes before layering sunscreen or makeup on top, longer if the cream still feels tacky.

Hands vs. tools: Hands (or the built-in metal tip) deliver essentially all of the product; a cotton pad would absorb a meaningful portion and waste product, so it isn't recommended here.

If-Then scenarios: If your skin is very oily, use a smaller amount and consider eye-only, PM-only use. If you're in air conditioning most of the day, layer this over a hydrating toner or serum to lock in extra moisture. If you use a prescription or over-the-counter retinoid, alternate nights rather than layering both at once.

Safety first: Avoid applying directly to the eyelid or lash line. Do not use on broken, irritated, or actively inflamed skin. Always patch test first.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global rules: layer thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait 10-20 seconds between watery layers, 30-60 seconds after serums, and 10-15 minutes before sunscreen if you're heading outdoors. If the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers rather than adding more.

AM Maximum Stack: (1) optional gentle rinse or cleanse, (2) optional pH-prep toner, (3) optional hydrating toner layers, (4) optional essence, (5) optional mist, (6) optional soothing/booster serum, (7) one antioxidant-lane product if used (Vitamin C or a gentler antioxidant), (8) one pigment-support product if used (TXA/arbutin/azelaic), (9) hydration serum lane (HA/polyglutamic acid), (10) one oil-control lane product if used, (11) peptides/growth-factor lane — this is where the Medicube Deep Lifting Peptide Eyecream sits, applied to the eye area (and face, if using it there too), (12) separate eye cream only if you're not already using this product on the eyes, (13) moisturizer, (14) optional occlusive seal if dry or AC-heavy, (15) sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++, non-negotiable, (16) optional lip SPF.

Constraint: In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: (1) optional micellar pre-cleanse, (2) oil cleanser if wearing SPF/makeup, (3) water cleanser, (4) optional pH-prep toner, (5) optional hydrating toner layers, (6) optional essence, (7) optional soothing/barrier serum, (8) your chosen anchor active (retinoid, acid, or Vitamin C lane — applied on its own night, see the Compatibility Guide), (9) targeted serum only if non-conflicting, (10) Medicube Deep Lifting Peptide Eyecream — tapped around the eyes and smoothed on the face, applied after any active-lane serum and before your final moisturizer/seal, (11) moisturizer, (12) optional sleeping mask, (13) optional occlusive seal, (14) spot treatment or pimple patch as needed, (15) lip sleeping mask.

Conflict reminder: Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

Lane strictness: One-lane rule — Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration (including this peptide cream) can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane: barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.

This is a medium-to-thick emulsion cream — thicker than a toner or serum, but not a balm-level occlusive. Apply it after any watery or serum-textured products and before a heavier occlusive seal, if you use one.

The formula's silicone component (Cyclopentasiloxane) sits in a silicone/oil phase alongside squalane and shea butter, while the water phase carries the glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and peptides — apply on slightly damp skin to help the water-phase actives distribute evenly before the emollient phase seals them in.

No independently verified molecular-weight data exists for the specific peptides in this formula, so we cannot make a specific penetration-depth claim (the 500 Dalton rule) beyond noting that peptides of this general size are understood to act primarily at the surface and upper epidermis rather than penetrating to the dermis unassisted.

Individual results will vary, and no independently verified clinical trial data exists for this specific SKU — daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential to preserve any anti-aging gains.

Before starting this product, your routine should already include a gentle cleanser and daily sunscreen. Without daily SPF, any anti-aging benefit from the peptides is undermined by ongoing UV damage.

• Fine lines and crow's feet: Peptides act as signalling molecules that can encourage fibroblasts to support the skin's own collagen and elastin production over time.
• Loss of firmness: The collagen and peptide combination targets the structural support layer of the skin rather than just the surface.
• Dryness around the eyes: The emollient, humectant-rich base provides sustained hydration to an area with naturally fewer oil glands.

What this product cannot do: it cannot physically lift sagging skin the way a surgical or device-based procedure can; it does not target melanin-based dark circles (see the goodal Vita C Dark Circle Eye Cream if that's your primary concern); it cannot replace daily sunscreen as your anti-aging foundation.

✅ Works well with: Hydrating serums (hyaluronic acid, snail mucin) applied underneath to layer moisture. Niacinamide-forward products, since it already contains niacinamide, for a barrier-support-plus-tone-evening combination such as Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum 30ml. Vitamin C in the morning, such as The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%, applied first and allowed to absorb before this cream. Daily sunscreen, such as Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++.

⚠️ Use with caution: Retinoids — layering this with a strong retinoid such as Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum in the same PM routine can be overstimulating; alternate nights instead. Strong exfoliating acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic) — same-night stacking risks over-exfoliation; alternate nights or split AM/PM.

Pilling pairs: Applying too many watery serum layers before this cream, or applying sunscreen before it's fully absorbed, is the most common cause of pilling — reduce layers or extend the wait time first.

Assessment: Film-Forming (uncertain). The verified portion of the INCI includes a volatile silicone (Cyclopentasiloxane, which evaporates rather than forming a permanent film) alongside genuinely occlusive emollients (Glyceryl Stearate, Shea Butter, Squalane) — the combination likely leaves a light film rather than being fully water-permeable.

If used shortly before ablution, a light cleanse with water and gentle friction at the orbital and forehead area should be sufficient to restore water contact with the skin; applying it well before prayer, once it has fully absorbed, reduces any concern.

Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

MYTH: "You need a completely separate, dedicated cream for your eyes and another one for the rest of your face." REALITY: A well-formulated cream that is gentle enough for the thinner eye-area skin can, in many cases, also be used more broadly — which is exactly how Medicube brand-positions this specific 30ml format, larger than a typical dedicated eye cream. It simplifies your routine without requiring you to buy and manage two separate products.

MYTH: "More peptide products layered together means faster results." REALITY: Peptides work as slow signalling molecules over weeks, not as instant fillers — stacking multiple peptide products doesn't speed up collagen synthesis and mostly just adds unnecessary layers and cost.

AC environment note: In air-conditioned rooms for extended periods, the hyaluronic acid in this cream can pull moisture from your deeper skin layers instead of from the (dry, conditioned) air — sealing it with a moisturizer or facial oil during long AC exposure helps prevent that.

Hard water note: This isn't a rinse-off product, so it doesn't interact with Mauritius' variable tap-water hardness directly — but if your cleanser leaves a tight, filmy feeling from hard water, that tightness can make this cream feel like it's "not absorbing," when the real fix is a pH-adjusting toner after cleansing.

*Brand states "7 different Collagen ingredients" and "7 types of Hyaluronic Acid," but no independently verified breakdown of each specific type or its individual concentration was found. Treat the exact ingredient count as a brand marketing claim, not an independently confirmed lab fact.

Full INCI list (partial — see note): Water (Aqua), Methylpropanediol, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Butylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Dipropylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Squalane, Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter.

The sources available to us this round (ingredient-database search results, direct site access blocked) captured only the first roughly 18 ingredients of what is very likely a considerably longer full list for a formula of this richness. We could not confidently place the "Estimated 1% Line" marker on an incomplete list, so we have not inserted one — treat everything above as a partial, honestly-labelled ingredient disclosure rather than the complete INCI.

Preservative system: Not confirmed in the portion of the INCI we could verify. Do not assume "preservative-free" from this — it almost certainly reflects an incomplete list rather than an actual preservative-free formula.

Fragrance status: No Fragrance/Parfum ingredient appears in the portion of the INCI we could verify — read this as "not detected in what we could confirm" rather than a guaranteed complete fragrance-free claim, since the full list wasn't fully captured.

Scent: Not independently described by any source we found this session.

EU 26 allergen screen: None of the 26 EU-regulated fragrance allergens (linalool, limonene, etc.) were detected in the verified portion of the INCI.

Alcohol disclosure: No drying alcohol (Alcohol Denat./SD Alcohol) detected in the verified portion of the INCI.

Halal Status: Halal-Friendly*. Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list we could verify. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan Status: Not confirmed vegan. Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients were detected in the verified portion of the ingredient list, but the collagen ingredients in this formula are not INCI-named specifically enough to confirm whether they are plant-derived (e.g. Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein-style) or animal/marine-derived — Medicube's Collagen/Red line elsewhere uses marine collagen. This is NOT a formal vegan certification.

Animal Testing Policy: Medicube operates under South Korean law, which has banned animal testing on finished cosmetic products since 2017. Brand-stated policy context; not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or an equivalent third-party audit.

Reef Safety: Not applicable — this is a leave-on facial cream, not a sunscreen with UV filters.

Microplastic-Free: Yes, based on the verified portion of the INCI — no confirmed synthetic film-forming microplastics identified, though the incomplete list means this should be read as provisional.

MFDS Classification: Not confirmed as a Functional Cosmetic. South Korea's "Functional Cosmetic for Wrinkle Improvement" category is tied to specific recognized actives (most commonly Adenosine) at defined concentrations — Adenosine was not found in the portion of the INCI we could verify, so we cannot state this product carries that classification.

Clinical evidence: No independently published clinical trial (sample size, duration, measured result) was found for this specific SKU. The brand states a "20,000ppm Peptide Complex" and "7 Collagen ingredients / 7 Hyaluronic Acid types" formulation claim, but these are marketing-stated formula counts, not lab-verified assay results or trial data.*

*Marketing-Only: treat these specific figures as brand-stated claims until independently verified.

Evidence confidence: Medium for the peptide mechanism generally (well-studied ingredient class); Low for this specific product's stated concentrations and outcomes.

Naming note: Medicube appears to sell this same or a near-identical formula under the name "Deep Reviving Peptide Eye Cream" on its US storefront (medicube.us), based on matching ingredient-database entries found this session. This is consistent with the brand's pattern of using different names for the same or similar formula across regional markets — not independently confirmed against a primary source, since medicube.us was not directly reachable this session.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Glyceryl Stearate is a common emulsifier flagged as conditional on some stricter Malassezia-feeding ingredient lists, and the cream's occlusive emollient load (Cyclopentasiloxane, Shea Butter, Squalane) can support fungal acne flares in genuinely FA-prone skin even where individual ingredients are borderline. The full INCI wasn't completely captured this session, so this should be read as a cautious "conditional," not a confirmed "safe."

Assessment: Low-Medium. On its own, this cream absorbs reasonably well, but stacking it over several watery serum layers, or applying it right before sunscreen without a wait, is the most likely trigger for pilling.

Mitigation: Apply on slightly damp skin, wait 1-2 minutes before the next step, pat rather than rub, and reduce the amount if you notice balling under sunscreen or makeup.

Color baseline: Expect a consistent, uniform cream color batch to batch; a distinct yellowing or a rancid smell are signs of oxidation or spoilage, at which point the peptides and emollients may no longer perform as intended and the product should be discarded.

Storage: Keep the tube in a cool, dry place, away from direct sun and away from a steamy bathroom shelf — Mauritius' heat and humidity can accelerate degradation of temperature-sensitive peptide ingredients faster than in a temperate climate.

Spoilage signs: Separation that won't remix with shaking, an off or sour smell, or a change in texture (grainy or watery where it was once smooth). When in doubt, discard.

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount to a discreet area — behind the ear or on the inner forearm.
2. Wait 24 hours, monitoring for redness, itching, swelling, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, proceed with facial/eye-area use, starting with the eye area alone before extending to the rest of the face.

72-hour barrier reset (if reaction occurs): Stop all actives. For 72 hours, use only a gentle cleanser and a plain moisturizer with mineral SPF — no acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72 hours, reintroduce one product at a time, spaced 14 days apart.

Emergency stop signals: Hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately.

• Using too much at once, chasing faster results — peptides don't work faster at higher doses, they just increase milia and pilling risk.
• Applying too close to the lash line or directly on the eyelid.
• Rubbing instead of tapping, which stresses the thin eye-area skin.
• Layering it under a strong retinoid or acid on the same night without alternating.
• Skipping sunscreen and expecting the peptides to compensate for ongoing UV damage.

Overuse threshold: Using it more than twice daily provides no additional benefit and increases the risk of milia around the eyes.

Using half a rice-grain per eye twice daily (eye-only use), a 30ml tube typically lasts several months. Using a pea-sized amount for the full face and neck plus the eyes twice daily will deplete it noticeably faster — closer to a couple of months.

Using two to three times the recommended amount does not speed up results and simply shortens how long the tube lasts, without added benefit.

Reorder when the tube is roughly three-quarters empty to allow time for processing and delivery.

This cream does one job well — peptide-driven firming and eye-area hydration — so a complete routine around it needs a cleanser, sun protection, and (optionally) a targeted serum for whatever else you're addressing.

AM: Cleanse → optional Vitamin C → this cream around the eyes (and face, if using it there) → sunscreen. PM: Double cleanse if wearing SPF/makeup → optional treatment serum on non-active nights → this cream around the eyes and face.

If your skin is barrier-compromised right now: skip the Vitamin C and retinoid steps, keep this cream as your main PM treatment, and focus on gentle cleansing until things calm down.

If you are in AC all day: layer this cream over a hydrating serum rather than applying it alone, since the AC air will otherwise pull moisture back out.

If you already use a retinoid at night: alternate nights (retinoid one night, this cream the next) rather than stacking both.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Medicube DEEP LIFTING PEPTIDE EYECREAM, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

This cream is a strong fit if you want one product for both eyes and face with a gentle, non-active peptide approach. If your priorities differ, here are verified in-catalog alternatives:

• For a stronger, retinoid-based approach: Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal — choose this if you want faster cell-turnover-driven results and don't mind a stronger active requiring careful introduction.
• For pigmentation-based dark circles: MARY&MAY Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream — choose this if brightening under-eye discoloration matters more to you than firming.
• For a lighter, gentler retinol alternative: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream — choose this if you want a plant-derived retinol-alternative (bakuchiol) with a soothing centella base.
• For a same-brand sibling with a brightening spin: Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Eye Cream — choose this if you want Medicube's PDRN (salmon-derived DNA fragment) technology alongside peptides, with a brightening focus.

If you already own a comparable eye cream or peptide moisturizer, finish it first before starting this one.

Choose Medicube Deep Lifting Peptide Eyecream over Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal if you need a gentler, dual-purpose eye-and-face product without the introduction period a retinoid-based active requires.

Upgrade to the retinal-based serum if: your barrier is healthy and you've used retinoids before without issue; you want faster cell-turnover results and can tolerate a phased introduction; deep-set lines (not just dehydration lines) are your primary concern.

Do not upgrade yet if: your skin currently stings on moisturizer or feels tight after cleansing (repair the barrier first); you're pregnant or nursing and haven't consulted a doctor about retinoids; you're new to actives generally and want to build tolerance slowly.

If you match two or more of the retinal-serum triggers above, that alternative may be worth choosing. If not, this peptide cream is sufficient and safer for most people. Consistency beats complexity.

For someone building an eye-area routine from the ground up: start with a gentle, bakuchiol-based option like SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream, move to this peptide-based cream once you want a firming-focused step up, and graduate to a retinal-based option like Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal once your skin has built tolerance and you want a stronger active. There's no requirement to move through every step — many people stay at the peptide stage indefinitely.

This product's PRIMARY function is: peptide-driven firming and hydration for the eye area (and, secondarily, the face). You do NOT need this if you already own an unfinished peptide- or collagen-based eye cream doing the same job.

Check your current shelf for an open eye cream with a similar active profile before buying — its PAO (typically 6-12 months once opened, check your packaging) means buying a duplicate while the old one is still usable is wasted product.

Stacking assessment: No additional benefit if you already use another peptide- or collagen-forward eye cream (same mechanism). Marginal benefit if you're currently using only a generic moisturizer with no peptides on the eye area. Significant benefit if your current routine has no dedicated eye-area treatment at all.

Quick verification tips: Medicube has publicly warned about counterfeits of its bestselling lines; check that the EAN-13 barcode begins with 880 (Korea), that Korean-language text on the box is crisp and correctly spelled, and that the tube's metal applicator tip and printed batch code are clean, legible, and undamaged. For anything more detailed, use the Authenticity and Trust page above.

Brand: Medicube. Parent Company: APR Corporation (KRX: 278470), Seoul, South Korea — which also owns Aprilskin, the AGE-R device sub-brand, and other labels. Founded: 2016 (best-supported date; a minority of sources say 2017). Headquarters: Seoul, South Korea.

Medicube positions itself as bringing "clinic treatments at home," pairing dermatology-adjacent actives like PDRN, peptides, and high-percentage acids with its own at-home devices under the AGE-R sub-brand. Its manufacturing is reported by multiple secondary sources to be a hybrid model — skincare formulas largely produced by Korean contract manufacturers, devices produced in-house — though this could not be independently confirmed against a primary Medicube source this session.

The brand has built significant reach through TikTok virality, particularly in the US market, and APR Corp went public on the Korea Exchange (KRX) in 2024.

Community reviews for this specific product were not yet available in our research at the time of writing. WebSearch surfaced ingredient-database entries, retail listing pages, and one influencer video title that could not be accessed for content — but no substantive, quotable Reddit, Amazon, YesStyle, or Olive Young Global review text for this exact 30ml Deep Lifting SKU.

We would rather tell you plainly that we haven't found verifiable reviews yet than invent plausible-sounding ones. If you've used this product, we'd genuinely welcome your feedback via WhatsApp.

Sustainability: Rinse and check with local recycling guidelines before placing the tube and cap in your recycling stream; specific refill program availability for this SKU was not confirmed this session.

Can I really use an eye cream on my whole face?

Yes, for this specific 30ml formula — Medicube brand-positions it for dual eye-and-face use, and its larger fill size compared to a typical dedicated eye cream reflects that. It is not, however, a substitute for a dedicated daily face moisturizer if you have very different needs for your eye area versus the rest of your face.

Will this help with dark circles?

Only indirectly, through hydration and plumping. It does not contain pigmentation-targeting ingredients like tranexamic acid or arbutin, so if dark circles from discoloration are your main concern, a brightening-focused eye cream will do more.

Can I use this with Vitamin C or a retinoid?

Vitamin C in the morning pairs fine — apply it first, let it absorb, then use this cream. A retinoid should be alternated on separate nights rather than layered the same night, to avoid overstimulating the skin.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Generally yes, since peptides are typically well tolerated, but patch test first given the occlusive emollient base (Cyclopentasiloxane, Shea Butter) which can be heavier than some sensitive-skin formulas prefer.

How long will a 30ml tube last?

Roughly a couple of months with twice-daily full face-and-eye use, or several months with eye-only use — see the Usage Economics section above for detail.

Peptide

A short chain of amino acids that acts as a signalling molecule in skin, prompting cells to perform specific functions like producing more collagen.
