What you get: A clinically tested caffeine eye cream that instantly cools and hydrates whilst targeting dark circles, puffiness, and under-eye fatigue. This award-winning lightweight formula works from the very first application.

Why it works: 0.3% Caffeine is a natural antioxidant that tackles fluid retention - the main cause of under-eye puffiness and dark circles. Matrixyl 3000™ Peptide boosts collagen production to plump, firm and smooth delicate eye area skin. Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract specifically diminishes signs of under-eye fatigue for brighter, more awake-looking eyes.

How it feels: Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy. The cooling sensation instantly soothes tired eyes whilst creating the perfect makeup base.

When to use: AM & PM after cleansing and serums, before moisturiser. For best results, apply to damp skin and store in the fridge for an extra depuffing boost.

Suitable for:

All skin types
Sensitive skin
Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Targets:

Puffiness
Dark circles

How to Use

Use AM and PM. After cleansing and hydrating, squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your ring finger (enough for both eyes). Gently pat around the eye contour.

Follow with

Moisturiser

Finish with SPF in your AM routine.

INKEY Tip

Pop it in the fridge for an extra cooling, depuffing boost.

The best cream for under
I LIKE IT FOR MORNINGS, it gives my skin some of the most dramatic brightening, depuffing, and smoothing result. It is no so visible for textural improvement, ghe cream softer lines over time, without the sharp irritation.
