Dealing with under-eye bags, puffiness, or dark circles can be frustrating. This innovative cream offers an immediate, visible tightening effect to temporarily lift the look of eye bags while working long-term to brighten and firm the delicate eye area.

• Primary Benefit: Instantly tightens and lifts the appearance of under-eye bags while brightening dark circles over time.
• Key Technology: Uses Bio-Spicules (Hydrolyzed Sponge) to create a micro-tingling sensation and help deliver firming ingredients like EGF and peptides deeper into the skin.
• Who It's For: Anyone concerned with puffiness, sagging under-eye bags, dark circles, and fine lines around the eyes.
• Texture: A unique cream that dries down to create a firm, tight film on the skin. Scent-free.

1. Cleanser — Start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT (PM) — Apply a tiny, rice-grain-sized amount to the under-eye area only. See "How to Use" for the specific technique.
3. Moisturiser (PM) — Gently apply your regular face moisturiser, avoiding the area where you applied the eye cream.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack). This product has a unique function and is best used as a targeted treatment at night.

This product's unique film-forming texture works best as the final step in your evening routine, applied to the specific target area.

• Minimalist (4 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if wearing makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Hydrating Toner → 3) Moisturiser (applied to the rest of the face) → 4) THIS PRODUCT (applied only to under-eye bags).
• Texture Rule: Apply all other skincare first. Let your moisturiser absorb for a few minutes before applying this eye cream to ensure it forms its film properly on clean, dry skin.

This product requires a specific application method for best results.

Daily Use — PM Recommended:

• Amount: A very small amount, about half a grain of rice per eye. Using too much will leave a white, powdery residue.
• Apply to: The puffy or baggy area under the eye only. Apply to the orbital bone, avoiding the mobile lid and lash line.
• Method:
  1. Complete your entire skincare routine first.
  2. Squeeze a tiny dot of cream onto the provided spatula or your ring finger.
  3. Gently pat (do not rub) the cream onto the under-eye bag area, from the inner corner outwards.
  4. Crucially, remain expressionless. Do not smile, squint, or move your face for at least 2-3 minutes as the product dries and creates a tightening film. You will feel a tightening or tingling sensation; this is normal.
• Frequency: Start by using it once daily in the evening.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

• This product can be difficult to layer under makeup and may pill or crack if makeup is applied over it.
• It is strongly recommended for nighttime use only.
• If you must use it in the AM, apply the thinnest possible layer, let it dry completely for 5+ minutes, and then gently tap (do not rub) a hydrating, non-oily concealer or foundation over the top.

Watchouts:

• White Residue: If you see a white, crusty film, you have used too much product. Use a smaller amount next time.
• Dryness: The tightening effect can feel very dry. Ensure the rest of your skin is well-moisturised. Some users apply a hydrating moisturiser over the product after it has fully dried.
• Sensitivity: The tingling from the spicules is normal, but if you experience a persistent burning rash, discontinue use.

Safety: Avoid broken or irritated skin. Stop if a burning rash occurs. Not intended for use by children. Patch test before first use.

• Immediate: A very noticeable tightening and lifting sensation under the eyes. The appearance of eye bags is visibly and temporarily reduced as the product's film dries.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent nightly use, you may notice the under-eye area appears brighter and less shadowed, thanks to ingredients like Niacinamide, Arbutin, and Glutathione.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Long-term benefits from ingredients like EGF and peptides may contribute to improved skin elasticity and a subtle reduction in the appearance of fine lines.

Individual results vary. Efficacy is tied to consistent use and adequate sun protection during the day.

• Why this, not that? Instead of relying on DIY "remedies" like hemorrhoid cream (which can contain steroids and harsh vasoconstrictors unsafe for the eye area) or cold tea bags (which only offer temporary de-puffing), this formula uses cosmetic-grade ingredients like peptides, brightening agents, and film-formers specifically designed and tested for the delicate under-eye skin.

• All Skin Types: Suitable for oily, dry, combination, and normal skin types concerned with eye bags.
• Mature Skin: Excellent for addressing age-related loss of elasticity and puffiness under the eyes.
• Sensitive Skin: While the formula has passed irritation tests, the tingling sensation from the spicules may be intense for highly sensitive skin. A patch test is essential.

• Under-eye bags and puffiness (offers an immediate cosmetic lifting effect)
• Dark circles (targets with a blend of brightening ingredients)
• Loss of firmness and elasticity around the eyes
• Fine lines and wrinkles in the under-eye area

Key Actives Explained:

• Sodium Silicate & Magnesium Aluminum Silicate: These are mineral-derived ingredients that form a film on the skin. As they dry, they contract, creating an immediate, temporary tightening effect that visibly lifts eye bags.
• Hydrolyzed Sponge (Bio-Spicule): These are microscopic needle-like structures from marine sponges. They create a micro-tingling sensation and are believed to help stimulate the skin and enhance the delivery of other active ingredients.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that is a powerhouse for brightening skin tone, helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles. It also supports the skin barrier.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient known for its proven anti-wrinkle benefits. It energizes the skin's surface, helping to make it look smoother and younger.
• EGF (rh-Oligopeptide-1): A peptide (a chain of amino acids) that supports skin repair and regeneration, helping to improve skin elasticity and firmness over the long term.
• Brightening Complex (Arbutin, Glutathione, Tranexamoyl Dipeptide-23): A trio of powerful ingredients that work to inhibit melanin production, helping to lighten dark circles and even out skin tone.
• Ceramide Complex (NP, AS, NS, AP, EOP): These five types of skin-identical lipids are crucial for reinforcing the skin's natural barrier, locking in moisture, and preventing dehydration, which can accentuate fine lines.

Full INCI List:

Water, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Sodium Silicate, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Arbutin, Glutathione, Hydrolyzed Sponge, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ceramide NP, Tocopherol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ceramide AS, Ceramide NS, Tranexamoyl Dipeptide-23, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Sodium Hyaluronate, rh-Oligopeptide-1.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent: The product is described by users as having no discernible scent.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.

• Who should use with caution? Individuals with highly sensitive skin, active eczema, or compromised skin barrier around the eyes should be cautious due to the tingling sensation from the spicules. Those prone to milia should use the smallest possible amount, as occlusive films can sometimes be a trigger.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a tiny amount to a small, discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of a reaction like a persistent burning rash or swelling. The tingling/tightening sensation is normal, but a painful rash is not.
• If Irritation Occurs: Stop using the product immediately. Cleanse the area with a gentle cleanser and apply a soothing, barrier-friendly cream. If the reaction is severe or persists, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
• Milia Caution: To minimize the risk of milia (small white bumps), use no more than half a rice grain amount per eye and apply only to the orbital bone area, not close to the lash line or on the eyelid.

• Texture: A cream that feels somewhat dry or paste-like upon application. It is designed to be patted on, not rubbed in.
• Finish: Dries down to an invisible, tight film. If too much is applied, it can leave a white, powdery residue.
- Sensation: Users report a distinct tightening, tingling, or even a mild burning sensation as the product dries and the spicules interact with the skin. This feeling typically subsides after a few minutes but the tightness remains.
• pH: Not published by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula appears to be free from most common FA-triggers like fatty acids and esters. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: A white, crusty residue appears under my eyes.
  Solution: You are using too much product. Reduce the amount to half a grain of rice per eye and pat a very thin layer.
• Issue: My under-eye area feels uncomfortably dry and tight.
  Solution: This is part of the product's lifting mechanism. You can try applying a hydrating, non-oily moisturiser *over* the eye cream, but only after it has completely dried for 5-10 minutes. Pat it on gently.
• Issue: The product pills or flakes when I apply makeup.
  Solution: This product's film is not very compatible with makeup. It is best used at night. If you must use it during the day, wait at least 5-10 minutes before gently tapping on a minimal amount of a very hydrating, liquid concealer.
• Issue: The tingling sensation is too strong.
  Solution: This is likely from the spicules. Ensure you are applying it to soothed, moisturised skin, not on a dry or irritated barrier. If it's still too intense, this product may not be suitable for your sensitivity level.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, film-forming nature works well in humidity as it doesn't feel greasy. However, be mindful that sweat can potentially disrupt the film. Best to apply in the evening in a cool, air-conditioned room.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: The tightening effect can feel more pronounced in dry conditions. Ensure you are using a good moisturiser on the rest of your face to compensate. You might need to layer a hydrating moisturiser over the eye area (after it dries) to prevent excessive tightness.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like StyleKorean highlights the product's unique, immediate effect but also points out some practical challenges.

• One user praised the instant results, stating, "It lifts my under eyes bags immediately! I love it so much!" (StyleKorean review, 2025-08).
• Another user described the specific sensation and results: "The immediate tightening effect under my eyes surprised me. It felt almost glue-like as it dried, visibly firming my under-eye area within minutes." They noted that long-term brightening was subtle. (StyleKorean review, 2025-07).
• A common caveat relates to the texture and application. A reviewer warned, "...if you use too much, it leaves behind white, crusty residue—so a very thin layer is key." (StyleKorean review, 2025-07). Several users also mentioned the intense drying feel.
• A fair critique came from a user who found it too drying: "Its ok to me its so dry but couldn't finish it only used it twice." (StyleKorean review, 2025-07). This highlights that the tightening effect is not comfortable for everyone.

Will this cream get rid of my eye bags permanently?

The immediate lifting effect is temporary, lasting for several hours as the product's film stays on the skin. The brightening and firming ingredients like Niacinamide and EGF work over many weeks to improve the skin's condition for a longer-term effect, but it will not permanently remove structural eye bags.

Why does it tingle or feel like it's burning?

The tingling sensation comes from the "Bio-Spicules" (Hydrolyzed Sponge), which are microscopic structures designed to stimulate the skin. This sensation is normal and should subside. However, if you experience a painful, persistent rash, you may be having a negative reaction and should stop use.

Can I use this on my eyelids or for crow's feet?

This product is specifically designed for under-eye bags. You should not apply it to your mobile eyelids. For crow's feet at the outer corners, a retinol-based eye cream like the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum would be a more suitable choice.

Is this safe to use with my retinol eye cream?

It is best not to layer these two products directly on the same area at the same time. You could alternate nights, or use your retinol eye cream on the outer corners (for crow's feet) and this product only on the under-eye bag area.

• Best For: Those seeking an immediate, cosmetic fix for under-eye bags and puffiness, with the added benefit of long-term brightening ingredients.
• Key Benefits: Visibly lifts and tightens the look of eye bags within minutes. Brightens dark circles and improves firmness with consistent use.
• Keep in Mind: The tightening effect can feel very dry and is not comfortable for everyone. It is difficult to wear under makeup without pilling or leaving a white residue, making it best for nighttime use. The instant lifting effect is temporary.
