"For my morning I have used the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Bright & Tight eye cream. This one's really nice it has vitamin C, tranexamic acid and peptides. So peptides are alternative to retinol in the sense that they accomplish similar things and help tighten the aging skin, but the vitamin C and tranexamic acid will help with pigmentation. I have really enjoyed using this in the morning. I'm actually wearing it underneath my makeup right now. I would repurchase this again in a heartbeat."

"When everything feels and looks dull and fatigued or even anemic it's all about the brightening. It contains three derivatives of vitamin C, the three that are the most powerful at visibly brightening the skin. This also contains 3% tranexamic acid as well as licorice root which are both well known for helping brighten the skin and even out pigmentation. For aging concerns there's also bakuchiol and peptides, and for the deep puffing there's caffeine in this."

My Spring Morning Skincare Routine | 2024

"This is all about the brightening of this area. This also contains tranexamic acid three percent as well as some brightening vitamin C derivatives and it's got some peptides in it. [...] This is a great formula, but what I'm really drawn to and what makes me reach for this in the mornings is it's got those brightening pigments to it. It's [...] a real subtle brightening, perfect for neutralizing the more purplish pigment I get around here, which is more anemic, like a bruise."

"I actually don't love the INNBEAUTY Project Bright and Tight eye cream, I find it [...] too thick and [...] not moisturizing enough. It really feels more like if you took a concealer and mixed eye cream into it, whereas the Alpyn feels like an eye cream with some color correcting pigments in it. [...] It's not enough moisture for me personally, [...] when I tried to switch to this in my review my under eye area was getting dry."

"It also isn't great under makeup, it [...] plays funny with some of my concealers. It has 3% tranexamic acid plus three different forms of vitamin C derivatives and peptides, a beautiful formula, but all that said I do like it, just not every single day, and I wouldn't recommend making it your only eye cream."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Tranexamic acid

Tranexamic acid has a growing body of clinical evidence for melasma and the stubborn patches of pigment that other ingredients struggle with.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
