What the gurus are saying

This eye cream delivers serious hydration in a lightweight formula, with a pearlescent finish that adds a morning glow. Caffeine eases puffiness and dark circles, while vitamin C and niacinamide brighten the area, and peptides address fine lines. The one thing to keep in mind: genetic dark circles may resist brightening no matter what, but the hydrating and plumping benefits definitely come through.

    "This one has vitamin C and peptides, [...] but this one has caffeine. It also contains niacinamide, shea butter, and a lot of other great ingredients to moisturize and tackle signs of aging. This one is designed to brighten up the under eyes and of course to address fine lines and wrinkles, and this does brighten. It [...] also brightens with that vitamin C but it also has nice niacinamide which can do the same thing in terms of brightening."

Very, very moisturizing but it's not heavy underneath or around the eyes."

    "This is a really nice brightening eye cream. It sinks in pretty quickly. [...] We've got a lot of really good ingredients in here: sorbic acid, the vitamin C Real Deal, argilene which is the botox in a jar peptide, rose hip oil, turmeric which is another great brightening ingredient, caffeine which is great for puffiness, and then niacinamide. I will mention a lot of times dark circles a lot of times you can't brighten them away, a lot of times they're just genetic."

    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.

    Niacinamide

    Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

    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.
