The Science

How it works.

EYE SKIN IS 5× THINNER EPIDERMIS (0.5 mm) DERMIS HYPODERMIS Peptide chain Buffered retinol · safe on the eye No stinging · no pulling · peptide-locked delivery

Eye skin is 5× thinner. The retinol needs to match.

Standard retinol is too aggressive for the eye contour. Microencapsulated retinol time-releases at a buffered dose engineered for the delicate eye area, while caffeine constricts micro-capillaries to de-puff and niacinamide brightens the under-eye zone. The result is reduced dark circles, smoother crow's feet, and visible plumpness without stinging or pulling.

Proven Benefits

Retinol. For the Eyes That Can Handle It.

The skin around your eyes is ten times thinner than the rest of your face — and the first place aging shows. Most retinol creams are too aggressive for this zone. Dr. Ching engineered this eye luminescence with microencapsulated retinol, caffeine, and niacinamide to target dark circles, crow's feet, and puffiness without irritating the eye area.

  • Reduces the appearance of dark circles and shadows
  • Smooths crow’s feet and under-eye fine lines
  • De-puffs morning eyes within minutes
  • Brightens and evens the under-eye zone

Questions

Frequently asked.

Can I use regular retinol around my eyes?
Most regular retinol serums are too strong for the eye area and cause irritation. This eye luminescence uses microencapsulated retinol specifically calibrated for thin eye skin.
How quickly will I see de-puffing?
Most users notice reduced puffiness within 5-10 minutes of application, thanks to the caffeine.
When will dark circles improve?
Dark circle reduction typically appears between weeks 2-6, depending on whether they are pigment-driven or vascular.
Can I use this under makeup?
Yes. Let it absorb for 60 seconds before applying concealer.
Is it safe for contact lens wearers?
Yes, but insert contacts before applying — and avoid touching the waterline.
How long does the jar last?
Using a pea-sized amount twice daily, one 15mL jar lasts approximately 3 months.
