Peptides (Eye Area)

A peptide eye cream for the look of fine lines around the eyes. Applied around the eye area, it helps the skin there look smoother, supporting a firmer-looking eye contour over several weeks of consistent use.

• Before you start

  Leave it off while the skin around your eyes is irritated or looking red, and start again once it has settled.

• How often

  From the start is fine — peptides are gentle around the eyes, so no easing-in period is needed.

• Where to apply

  Stay on the orbital bone, the ridge you can feel around the eye socket. Keep it off the lash line and out of the inner corner, so it cannot wick into the eye.

• How to apply

  Pat it in with a fingertip along the brow bone and under the eye, rather than rubbing — the skin there reacts to friction.

• How much

  A drop-sized amount around each eye is enough.

• Alongside others

  If a retinoid eye product is already part of your routine, the arrangement the studies actually tested is the peptide product in the morning and the retinoid at night.

• What to expect

  Give it about four weeks before judging it, and any visible difference tends to keep building after that.

• If it doesn't suit

  If your lids feel heavy in the morning, use less or choose a lighter texture — that feeling comes from a rich cream sitting near the lid, not from the peptides.

For external use around the eye area only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

No cosmetic regulator in the 20 markets above sets a maximum strength for peptides (eye area). That is the state of the rules, not a signal to use more: how much goes into a product is the formulator's decision.

Open a market to see the rulebook its figure comes from. Those notes describe each market's own rules as we read them, current to August 24, 2026; the linked documents are the authority, and nothing here is legal advice.
