Medicube PDRN PINK PEPTIDE EYE CREAM 30ml

Dealing with fine lines and tired-looking eyes is a common concern, especially in Mauritius' sunny climate. This advanced eye cream from clinical K-beauty brand Medicube offers a potent, targeted solution. Formulated with cutting-edge PDRN (often called 'salmon DNA') and a firming peptide complex, it works to restore elasticity, brighten shadows, and deeply hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes.

• Who It's For: Anyone noticing signs of aging or fatigue around the eyes, including fine lines (crow's feet), loss of firmness, puffiness, and dark circles. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
• What It Does: This nourishing cream delivers a concentrated blend of PDRN and peptides to help stimulate collagen, improve skin elasticity, and brighten the under-eye area.
• Texture & Feel: A smooth, rich cream that absorbs without feeling heavy or greasy, creating a hydrated and comfortable finish.
• The Result: With consistent use, the eye area appears firmer, smoother, and more awake. Fine lines look softer, and dark circles are visibly diminished.

Daily Use — AM & PM:

• Amount: Use about half a grain of rice per eye. A little goes a long way. Using too much can lead to milia (small white bumps).
• Apply to: The orbital bone area (the bone around your eye socket). Avoid applying directly to the mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line.
• Method: Using your ring finger for the gentlest touch, lightly tap the cream around the orbital bone until absorbed. Do not rub or pull the delicate skin.
• Frequency: Start by using it once daily in your evening routine for the first week. If your skin is happy, increase to twice daily (morning and night).

If-This / Then-That Tips:

• If you have oily skin or live in high humidity: Use a slightly smaller amount, especially in the morning, to ensure a lightweight feel.
• If you're using it under makeup: Wait 1-2 minutes for the cream to fully absorb before applying concealer or sunscreen to prevent pilling.
• If your skin is very dry or you're in A/C: You can apply a slightly more generous layer at night as a nourishing eye mask.

Safety First: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Always perform a patch test before introducing a new product to your routine.

This eye cream is designed for consistent daily use to achieve the best results. As a gentle, supportive product, it integrates easily into any routine.

• Daily Schedule: Use every morning (AM) and every evening (PM).
• AM Routine: Apply after your serum and before your moisturizer and sunscreen.
• PM Routine: Apply after your serum and before your final moisturizer or sleeping pack.

Using with Other Actives:

Because of its supportive and restorative ingredients, this eye cream pairs well with stronger actives. You do not need to alternate nights.

• On Retinoid Nights: You can safely apply this eye cream. It can even help hydrate and support the skin barrier, potentially reducing dryness from retinoids around the eye area.
• On Exfoliating Nights (AHA/BHA): You can safely apply this eye cream. It will help soothe and hydrate the skin after exfoliation.

Skincare is a journey, and results from ingredients that work on a cellular level appear over time. Here’s a realistic timeline for this eye cream:

• Immediately: The eye area will feel instantly hydrated, soothed, and comfortable. Any feeling of tightness will be relieved, and the skin will have a subtle, healthy plumpness.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: You may notice that fine dehydration lines appear softer and the skin texture feels smoother. The eye area will look more consistently moisturized throughout the day.
• Within 4-8 Weeks: The brightening effects may become more visible, with a reduction in the appearance of dark circles. The skin may start to feel firmer to the touch as peptides and PDRN support its structure.
• After 8+ Weeks: With consistent AM and PM use, you should see the most significant results. The skin's elasticity and firmness are noticeably improved, leading to a visible reduction in crow's feet and a more lifted appearance.

Individual results can vary. For best results, always use in combination with daily sun protection.

Myth: "I can just use my regular face moisturizer around my eyes."

Reality: While not harmful, it's not optimal. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on your body. Eye creams like this one are specifically formulated to be gentle yet potent for this fragile area. They are often ophthalmologist-tested for safety and contain targeted ingredients like PDRN and peptides in concentrations designed to address unique eye-area concerns like puffiness and deep-set lines, which most face creams don't prioritize.

This eye cream is formulated to be highly compatible and can be seamlessly integrated into almost any existing skincare routine.

• ✅ Works Well With: Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin), Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, AHAs, BHAs, and other peptides. Its soothing and hydrating properties can actually help improve your skin's tolerance to stronger actives.
• ⚠️ Use with Caution: No major conflicts are known. The main caution is to avoid physical friction. Do not use with harsh scrubs or abrasive tools around the delicate eye area.
• ❌ Avoid On: Do not apply directly to the eyelids or lash line. For external use on the orbital bone area only. Avoid use on broken, irritated, or wounded skin.

• 💧 Dry & Dehydrated Skin: Excellent. The nourishing texture provides lasting hydration and helps combat the fine lines often exaggerated by dryness.
• ✨ Mature Skin: An ideal choice. The PDRN and peptide complex directly targets concerns like loss of elasticity, crow's feet, and thinning skin.
• 🌿 Combination & Normal Skin: Very suitable. Provides the perfect balance of moisture without feeling heavy.
• 🔥 Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated. The formula focuses on skin repair and is often suitable for sensitive types. However, a patch test is always recommended.
• Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: Suitable. The cream is not overly occlusive. Users prone to milia should be careful to use a very small amount (half a rice grain per eye).

This formula is expertly crafted to address multiple signs of aging and fatigue around the eyes:

• Fine Lines & Wrinkles (Crow's Feet): Peptides and PDRN work to support collagen and elastin, helping to smooth and plump the skin for a visible reduction in lines.
• Loss of Firmness & Elasticity: The active ingredients help reinforce the skin's underlying structure, leading to a firmer, more lifted appearance over time.
• Dark Circles: By improving hydration, boosting collagen to thicken the skin, and potentially enhancing microcirculation, it helps reduce the appearance of shadowy under-eyes.
• Puffiness & Eye Bags: The formula's hydrating and firming effects can help diminish morning puffiness and improve the look of under-eye bags.
• Dryness & Dehydration: Provides immediate and lasting moisture to the delicate, often-dry eye area, preventing tightness and crepiness.

Key Actives Explained:

• PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide): Derived from salmon DNA, this cutting-edge ingredient is celebrated in clinical settings for its powerful skin-regenerating properties. It provides the building blocks for cellular repair, helping to improve skin texture, boost elasticity, and soothe inflammation.
• Peptide Complex: A blend of amino acid chains that act as messengers, signaling skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin. This helps to firm the skin and visibly reduce the depth of wrinkles.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that brightens the skin, strengthens the moisture barrier, and provides antioxidant protection. It's particularly effective for improving the appearance of dark circles.
• Hyaluronic Acid: A powerful humectant that draws and holds moisture in the skin, providing intense hydration to plump up fine lines and keep the eye area supple.

Who Should Use This:

• Adults of all ages concerned with signs of aging around the eyes.

Use With Caution If:

• You are prone to milia: Use a very small amount and tap gently until fully absorbed. Do not layer heavily.
• You have highly reactive skin: Although formulated to be gentle, a patch test is essential.
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding: There is insufficient published data on the use of topical PDRN during pregnancy. We recommend consulting with your doctor before using this product.

How to Patch Test:

1. Apply a tiny amount of the cream to a clean, discreet patch of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner wrist.
2. Wait 24-48 hours and observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. If you experience any irritation, do not use the product.

• Issue: I'm seeing small white bumps (milia) under my eyes.
  Solution: You are likely using too much product. Reduce the amount to half a grain of rice per eye and be sure to tap it in gently only on the orbital bone, not too close to the lashes.
• Issue: The cream feels a bit heavy or pills under my makeup.
  Solution: Use a smaller amount in the morning and allow it to absorb fully for at least 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or concealer. Pat your makeup on gently over the area instead of rubbing.
• Issue: I've been using it for two weeks and don't see a huge difference in my wrinkles.
  Solution: Be patient and consistent! Ingredients like peptides and PDRN work on a cellular level to rebuild collagen, which takes time. Visible improvements in firmness and wrinkle depth typically take 8 weeks or more of consistent daily use. Ensure you are also wearing sunscreen daily to protect your results.

• For Humid Summers: The rich texture is still suitable for nightly use. For daytime, you may prefer to use a very thin layer to avoid any feeling of heaviness in the heat and humidity. Pat it in until fully absorbed.
• For Drier Winters & A/C Environments: This cream is perfect for protecting the delicate eye area from the drying effects of air conditioning and cooler winter air. You can use a normal or slightly more generous amount both morning and night.
• Sun Exposure: Mauritius' high UV index accelerates photoaging, especially around the eyes. This cream's restorative ingredients are excellent for repairing daily damage, but they must be paired with a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day to be effective.

This 30ml eye cream is a concentrated treatment designed for longevity.

• Estimated Doses Per Jar: Approx. 300 uses.
• How Long It Lasts:
  • Used once daily (PM): The jar should last approximately 10 months.
  • Used twice daily (AM & PM): The jar should last approximately 5 months.

This makes it a cost-effective investment in targeted, long-term eye care. We recommend reordering when you have about a month's supply left to ensure you don't run out.

Q: What is PDRN and how does it work?
